***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

How bad is Raval against spin holy ****

haha by the radio and cricinfo comms we now know why he was hidden from india after making the touring squad for africa

 

[Flem274*]

nice one kane. standing up when needed yet again

 

[Athlai]

Kane is pretty good at cricket.

Ties the record!

 

[StephenZA]

Great innings by Williamson

 

[Bahnz]

Good stuff Kane, though got mixed feelings. Kinda wanted Ross to be the one to equal his mentor's record.

 

[Mike5181]

Jesus, this is one of the worst overs I've ever seen.

 

[thierry henry]

Raval doing his best to get out to Dean Elgar full tosses. Come on mate.

Williamson tho, goes good

 

[TT Boy]

Fantastic hundred from Williamson. Forecast for the 5th day looks iffy but tomorrow is looking good, so NZ still have enough time to force a result.

 

[Flem274*]

turns out facing jeets, ajaz and woodcock straight breaks at plunket level doesn't really set you up for straight breaks at test level

test match straight break left armers are magical straight breakers

 

[Mike5181]

It's so good to see Kane back in his 2014-15 form.

 

[Flem274*]

can't believe we've voodoo'd up some play today btw. was miserable when i went to work this morning, pretty dark outside now and i think we've had loads of drizzle from some dark clouds over the river

 

[thierry henry]

Raval practically begging them to bring back Morkel and Philander with the new ball so they can stop terrorising him with Duminy and Elgar.

haha by the radio and cricinfo comms we now know why he was hidden from india after making the touring squad for africa

now we know why he really moved to nz

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Jesus, this is one of the worst overs I've ever seen.

good thinking by jeet almost getting out, might fool faf into bowling him another over

 

[Mike5181]

Only trail by 72 runs now. Nice.

 

[straw man]

Had a meeting and just got back: Kaneh :

Really want to see Raval get the hundred, even if it takes him another 60 balls to get there.

I know someone will pipe up with 'surprisingly recently', but when was the last time an NZ opener batted through to the second new ball (exc Zimbabwe)?

 

[Daemon]

I've never seen 4 full tosses in a row at any level of cricket. Well bowled Elgar.

Didn't Latham get a double ton v the Bangerz earlier this season?

Yes let's talk about one that isn't Bangladesh though, despite them no longer being small fishes.

 

[Bahnz]

Did Guptill make it through to the 2nd new ball with his hundred v SRL last season? Would've been damn close.
