So did it turn out this pitch was just...good for batting?

 

[straw man]

The variation in colour is probably more offputting than any real difference in bounce.

Loved Munro's 2 overs of trash earlier - very effective.

glorious bowling from Santner tbh

Yep, bloody superb.

Good knock so far by Malan, and that's an ominous start by Willey.

Has there been a worse NZ fielder in the last 20 years than Santner? The guy is absolutely club standard.

Santner's catching

Oh no, Mitchell.

 

[Howsie]

Hands of stone

 

[_Ed_]

That's better.

 

[straw man]

Santner just wants all the wickets for himself, greedy bastard

Not a great debut with the gloves from Seifert.

 

[straw man]

Have thought Seifert a bit rough with the gloves a couple of times tonight

 

[NZTailender]

Just hoping it's nerves from Seifert.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

These ND players can't catch a cold

 

[_Ed_]

Beauty!

Good game, this.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Nice! Need Anaru K as sub fielder tho

 

[straw man]

Lovely from lovely Trenty. Wise move not to rely on his fielders too.

Sometimes I reckon he's Nelson in the football episode of the Simpsons - "aww hell, I'll do it myself." *wins game*

Yup, if this is his usual standard it's not hard to see why he wasn't preferred for the test side.

That was a good bit of fielding from him though.
