Talk of the wicket being a Bunsen burner didn't pan out. Bit of turn on offer but it’s so slow and I can't see the pitch breaking up. There is more in it for the quicks but overall is a good batting wicket. South Africa would be well short of a decent total if weather wasn't about.

That was awesome. McCullum took one like that from Dravid once.

I think this is better than the McCullum one - which he sorta took by getting his body in the way of it and it went straight into his midsection before he caught it. This was straight into the hand.

****ing great catch from Latham. Raval continuing to deserve his spot too. Hopefully KW will score some runs and we can actually maybe pull this off.
It'd b a shame if we had two rain affected games that NZ were marginally leading before it was taken out of the players hands.

Really solid, gutsy effort by our openers last night. Great to see Tom in particular fight hard, no doubt the goodwill and feeling he would've had around his exemplary catching spilled over into his batting. As horrible a 2017 portion of the summer as he's had, a century would ensure he moves forward with confidence (then again, our next Test is Nov-Dec and there's 5 in the next 18 months, so really who cares?). And Jeet, really surprising me how solid he's been. Still needs to get out of the awful habit of the 50-60 brain fade but it's a nice enough problem to have.

Southee's record season ruined AND Wagner gets the actual record.
Looks like rain will ruin this test. Was shaping up well ( to be s good test, not a nz win) so its a real shame.
For all the negativity in this thread, I think its been a very good home season. My biggest disappointment was actually losing the odi series to sa. I thought we were going to win. The tests we have done ok. As much as I expected really.
8/10. You can argue about the quality of opposition all you like but we have failed to beat less motivated pakistani teams in NZ before. That was a pretty good series win. Something we failed to do when we had more settled test sides.
Raval the find of the test season.
