As opposed to the other type of anticipation?

So much Nicholls hate pre-series. He's looked seriously compact this test in really tough conditions.

he's ugly. kiwi CW likes pretty

Going to bed now, have to work tomorrow. 9 more runs please New Zealand. I think Watling is conscious of that record and that is why he played that aerial drive.

Lol, what?

I take back what I said yesterday about this being a good test match pitch due to the variable bounce. It's now a substandard pitch where one ball goes though 1/2 stump height, another from a similar length bounces over waist height. Do our Saffer posters know if this is normal here?

Variable bounce is usual here. Not usual this quick but it always comes at some point. Which made kane's decision to bowl first silly.

 

[NZTailender]

On the plus side to seeing another dismal batting effort is seeing truly world class bowlers (an ATG in there) operate.

 

[ImpatientLime]

dale is the goat.

all other pretenders can sit down.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Just hope Steyn can remain fit for a decent period of time as he is just so good to watch.

 

[StephenZA]

Not to be negative... but I get really pissed off when I realize I can`t watch my team again till November....

He plays with such hard hands and his feet are stuck in cement. I'd love to see him go well but just can't see it, not at this point in time anyway.

Nothing like sitting down and watching South Africa getting utterly pasted. Boy those Argentinians sure have improved in the last few years, huh?

 

[Hurricane]

Lol, what?

It is late ZinZan

Don't take me to task

In my mind it made sense but I was in a rush to say it.

Watling has decided to play a few shots to get past 27 quickly in case he ends up with a ball with his name on it by just defending

Still don't know if I have explained that ok but that is as good as it will get as I have retired now and am just surreptitiously checking posts on my iPhone

Awta

His foot movement on his dismissal in the first inning was non existent

Still scored more than Gup, Latham, Taylor and Watling combined.

 

[NZTailender]

it's ok we'll do better in our 3rd innings

[Moss]

Whatever happens now he'll keep his place, so it's a debate that might as well be shelved.

Hope KW's hand is okay.

 

[NZTailender]

Hey we equalled our record at least.

 

[harsh.ag]

Wonder if this is true, though. Backing NZ to get to 300 in the second dig.

Worst prediction hall of fame. What spuds, these islanders.

 

[StephenZA]

van Zyl you suck!

Haven`t taken a wicket for 6 overs.... time for some Rabada.

 

[Daemon]

He's somehow having a worse Test match than Guptill. Ok not really but still.
