The angle did it IMO, it left him off the pitch a tad but he played because of the angle

The angle may have had something to do with it, but that wasn't a 'wicket' taking delivery to a good opening batsman, rather a lazy poor nothing waft.

Sorry about that and without wanting to place a further curse on proceedings, love Kane and doesn't he look in exquisite touch right now?

Looking at the pitch and conditions overhead, really expected the NZ openers to be given a more testing examination in this opening session. Both Latham an Rutherford have played sensibly and worked the bad ball for runs but this SL attack have displayed very little consistency. Is it not as good a toss to win as pitch/conditions suggest or do this pace trio not quite have the skills to exploit it ?

Inevitably as I type SL get the breakthrough![/QUOTE]

Speaking of bad toss streaks & someone may be able to confirm, but IIRC after a streak of losing the toss, Fleming once sent Vettori or Cairns (can't quite remember) out purely for the coin toss. And I think we lost it again..

NZ Cricket need to instill the accumulation of singles into their younger batsman. the last great rotator we had in our side would've been Fleming probably. Williamson does it on occassion but also finds himself get trapped as he has in this innings and as he was as McCullum was belting it to all ends of the park. It would really assist guys like Rutherford if they knew how to construct a single.

Disagree with Smithy that it's honours even at 40/1 at drinks...surely NZ would take that any day of the week after being inserted on this deck...

Commentators desperately trying to find excuses for SL not swinging the new ball on a greentop in NZ

Hint, none of them are genuine swing bowlers

I think since the wicket of Latham the bowling has been pretty good, still a bit short but not leaking runs and hitting the same spot more
