I think that's his mother.

How often does Williamson get smashed in the box? Uncanny.

Also is there any correlation between him getting dooshed in the plums and scoring a century?

Only when the bowler tells Kane he's not going to apologise like Steyn did.

If the chick was really hot, I doubt it would be her he was referring to.

 

[grecian]

Oh come on, Monty needs a bowl here.

It was actually her tbf.

She's hot. I'd do her.

EDIT: Twice.

 

[BeeGee]

Am I allowed to say Williamson's going to ton up, or will that jinx him?

 

[grecian]

Forget I mentioned that person, as it seems to be controversial in Kiwi land.

and also forget i wanted Monty on, short rubbish.

You just dealt him a fatal blow

You think that's a jinx - in Williamson's last 18 innings whenever he's gone past 32 he's scored a century.


Edit: ok one fifty snuck in there too

 

[Flem274*]

Jinxes aren't real you cowards.

 

[NZTailender]

Bruce Martin ftw

the sky is going to fall on your head

 

[NZTailender]

Since he's jinxed, backing a Williamson tonne. Match conditions are right and he's due one. Reckon Brownlie will pull a clutch 70odd here too.

 

[BeeGee]

Still a bloody good batting deck, it must be said.

So the first target is 266. If we can't score that on this deck we deserve to lose.

 

[Zinzan]

She's hot. I'd do her.

EDIT: Twice.

I wouldn't have put her in the 'hot' category myself, but each to their own.

 

[Flem274*]

Today was much more fun since batsmen could actually get out.

If Williamson can make it through his characteristic dire start tomorrow he will be set for a score. I notice today he was actually confident in defense at the beginning of his innings.

Brownlie scored a fluent ton against South Africa so I have high hopes for him to back it up in this series.

It's nice to see Broad bowling well again.

I'm just relieved that he scores metric runs tbh

 

[BeeGee]

Yep. If I was selecting the team I would have played Butler ahead of Martin.

If he plays, he had better take wickets and/or bowl a lot of tight overs.

I'm not going to hold my breath, though.

Martin on. This isn't going to end well.

I always knew Martin would be gun in this series.

 

[straw man]

This is one of those down-but-not-out scores where we go to sleep thinking there's still some hope if we bat well, indeed there's no reason why we couldn't bat all the next day.

So we will probably lose 5 wickets before lunch tomorrow.
