I know we bowled first, but we've got nothing out of our spin bowlers so far. Patel's in his third over, Santner's yet to bowl. Might as well just pick Kuggs and use one specialist spin bowler with Williamson as the second option.

Mark Richardson is quality

He has a point about the men's club though (If that was him, all NZers sound the same after a while). Why would women's only clubs be allowed but not men's only clubs?

Preparing for another magnificent spell from Patel, full of ooohing & arrhing, lots of cries of "bowling Dave", lots of hands on head, and of course final figures of 1 -91, only to be told he bowled really well but was once against just unlucky not to pick up a 5-fer. What's news in the world?

I don't think there's any law stopping it is there? Just most men couldn't care less if females are at the gym (in fact prefer it in most cases), whereas many women prefer working out in a man-free environment.

Exactly. If you did make a mens only gym it probably wouldn't be that popular because most men love having women around. For some reason one of the comms said he thought they wouldn't be allowed to keep the mens only club for much longer or something along those lines.

lol @ the chairs. Surely there's not a rule against that?

I think the men's club was a cricket club which was called Valley of Peace or something because women weren't allowed.

So I didn't think the comparison to a women's only gym really made much sense.

I switched to the ground audio only at that stage, glad it's an option ... no more Doull, Richardson or Cummings! :D

What about that catch from Latham, one of the best I've seen in close ... just the anticipation to be moving way before the shot was played, incredible!

Coney is boring as hell, can't stand his commentary. CDG bowled well both tests hes opened. He is good in these conditions.

The square leg umps reaction to that catch was priceless. There's a certain charm to Tests in NZ that you just don't get in big stadiums with 30,000+ people. Funny stuff like that tends to happen.

And listening to the NZ comms accents is always entertaining, for some reason it makes anything funny they say even funnier

i see our quinton de kock specialist spinner has done his job yet again
Begs the question, where his value if he's not dismissing de Kock? It was basically the only justification for him playing again after the 1st test.
