Nah, it's jut a case of New Zealand rarely being in much trouble with the bat so his biggest skill is rendered a bit irrelevant.Haha. I think his batting has deteriorated
Has [Watling] played a important part in 3 wins this season, when NZ was in a difficult position.Nah, it's jut a case of New Zealand rarely being in much trouble with the bat so his biggest skill is rendered a bit irrelevant.
Yeah he did go through a quiet patch for a handful of tests (which in NZ's case, might mean 18 months), but the UAE series was a welcome return to form for him.Has played a important part in 3 wins this season, when NZ was in a difficult position.
59 (156) in 1st test in UAE, 3rd innings, came in when NZ 4-103 and still needed another 34 runs to make Pak bat again.
77* (250) in 3rd test in UAE, 1st innings, came in when NZ 4-72.
46 (90) vs SL on a green pitch at Hagley Oval, 1st innings, came in when NZ 4-36, then added 108 with Southee to boost NZ to 178 (and then SL rolled for 104).
But in each innings was overshadowed by his partner (Nicholls, Williamson, Southee), so didn't make the headlines. And yes, he is not so good at downhill skiing as some others.
All three brilliant important knocks that I don't think any of the challengers for his position could have done.Has played a important part in 3 wins this season, when NZ was in a difficult position.

The highest is 298 by Chuck Fleetwood-Smith in 1938 ... for one wicket.Has any bowler conceded at least 300 runs in a single innings?
Go Mehedy!
Nope. Highest is Fleetwood-Smith's 1/298 at The Oval in '38.Has any bowler conceded at least 300 runs in a single innings?

I hate how CA's commercial greediness means that they reject opportunities to allow our players stats padding like this.
Yeah I feel for CDG there ... wouldn't have taken him long to get there, either.Sorry, why the **** would you declare now when Colin has an easy ton in a session offing? I hate it when captains still manage to be brainless in this sort of situation. You don't need 240 overs to bowl out a side.
True, would be good for the crowd too. I still remember Atherton declaring on Hick when he was on 98. Although, in that case he probably should have declared earlier.Sorry, why the **** would you declare now when Colin has an easy ton in a session offing?
