New Zealand must be the best catching side in the world at the moment, with exception of Ross Taylor shelling that sitter and McCullum dropping an uncharacteristic dolly in the first innings, you've seen Boult pull in some all time great catches this year, Williamson seems to snag one or two a series every series, McCullum himself takes some great catches, BJ very rarely ever drops anything, Craig and Neesham have been solid in the slips.

We don't really have a single weak fielder in the side at the moment and we have a few that are absolutely superb.

Rudds.

I can't pinpoint when but I do think Ruds has dropped the odd one.

Every side has good fielders but the point of difference for us is that our bowlers all happen to be exceptional fielders.

It was a good catch but I think he should have taken it cleanly.

For me def wasn't holy ****balls but in context of the game it was awesome.

Nah I'll take slight selective failure to make something look ten times more awesome than textbook technique any day

Anyone else a lot more impressed about Pradeep's performance in this match considering how easy batsmen have found it against Southee and Boult?

Prasanna out there again instead of Chandimal. Do they figure he might manage to grind something meaningful out but if he gets out cheaply better now than leading into the Prasadless tail?

As an isolated bowling performance, I thought it was pretty impressive, but yeah seems more impressive now though I think that's more a case of Boult and Southee not bowling brilliantly. It's not like they've been amazing and luckless, they've just been less than their usual brilliance.

I can't see Prasanna lasting here, and tbh I think it's time for him to go. It hurts me to say tho because he was easily the best keeper in the world for a long time. Tremendous gloveman but he's past it.

He's bowled well in this test but I don't think he's got the tools to be consistently threating. Would love to be proven wrong.

Lol @ Simon 'the shrink' Doull's assessment on the South African psyche.

Wonder if there's anything he's not a world authority on?
