[Flem274*]

last five wickets have put on 150 odd :/

 

[Langeveldt]

Chanders to ton up, what a gun. Remember his 69 ball one against Australia and I reckon he'll have a go here

 

[straw man]

Boult bowling variations and looking for a magic ball, don't know why he's not just trying to hit the spot and be patient - works every other day.

 

[Flem274*]

boult has bowled mostly mud today

 

[straw man]

He really edge that? Terrible bounce.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Ack. Shiv is so effective, isn't he.

 

[viriya]

Chanderpaul is so much like Kallis in that they both have a ~45SR, both struggle to kick on after getting a hundred (only 2 double hundreds each), and both are insanely consistent.

 

[_Ed_]

While this is a bit frustrating, I think it would be great to see Shiv get to 100 here. Deserves it.

 

[viriya]

Best keeper in test cricket at present?

Prasanna Jayawardene would like to have a word.

 

[_Ed_]

Ah, jinxed it.

Great that Southee got a fourth, though,

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Great figures for Southee.

Now for the no doubt contentious decision to either bat or bowl again.

 

[Flem274*]

thank ****

southee average now finally under 30 where it belongs.

 

[Zinzan]

tim southee career watch (yes im doing this to annoy whoever got annoyed by it last summer): 115 @ 30.06.

^ Edit: 29.80

Maybe, think his standards have dropped a little after a brilliant start. Still one of the top 2 mind (not much competition though)

I have a feeling that he has the Anderson "I-want-a-sub-30-average" curse unfortunately.

Haven't noticed anything to suggest his keeping standards have dropped. Not as challenging now of course since Murali retired.

??? i don't get what curse?

Na, there far earlier so will get it closer to 27/28 before he drops off again.

 

[Howsie]

Can't really stuff around here can we? Whatever we've got left here and two sessions at the most tommorow, will need to get a move on pretty quickly. Lead of 450 with four sessions to bowl them out.

Peter Fulton - 3

Fulton score sweep.
