Karunaratne getting some arm exercise.

 

[Meridio]

Reckon this will be a proper roady mcroad by the afternoon session. Was a little bit of nibble with the new ball but it's dying pretty quickly.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Tommy tryna play a Tage innings here

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is global warming messing with these Kiwis pitches?

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Who was the last NZ opener to ton up vs Australia or South Africa?

Vincent 01?

 

[Pup Clarke]

McIntosh maybe?

 

[Bahnz]

Think McIntosh only got about 90 vs Australia. Vincent is probably it.

Pretty much acceptable records against everyone save SA though.

Vincent 01?

Included India in this search... since 1 Jan 2000... it's Vincent against Australia, no one vs Sth Africa, and 4 against India in India (never India in NZ)

Played Tom. Putting away lots of credit in the bank to cover the inevitable withdrawals that'll be coming next season.

 

[straw man]

Well done Latham, you Sri Lanka bully you.

 

[BeeGee]

Top knock. Latham has been superb this series.

I feel like it could be 2021 before another name gets added to that list.

 

[Athlai]

Latham wag

 

[Jezroy]

Hmmmmm... I mean on his side is that he's pretty young and we can only hope that he has turned a corner/will turn a corner at some point

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nah, Sri Lanka have just been bowling puss.

Hence the Dimuth move

Poor Guptill, no wonder his average is so bad. Disproportionate amount of innings vs SA and Australia.
