Henry can certainly bat. Be nice if Blundell can get a century, but he's a long way out

 

[Skyliner]

Southee makes Henry look like Bradman.

 

[ashley bach]

what on earth is Timmy Southee doing batting ahead of Henry?
Matt Henry is light years better with the bat in hand.
talk about pecking order...

 

[ataraxia]

Like them running two on the dropped catch lol

 

[OverratedSanity]

I thought good for fast bowlers day 1 and then good for batting days 2 and 3 was supposed to be the pErFeCt TeSt PiTcH.

Ashwin was right all along

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Matt Henry must be the best test #11 since... Agar?

Got 44 off 22 in a recent SuperSmash game

 

[ashley bach]

Is it really “attitude” with Southee or is he just a pure batting wasteman at this point

his batting is hopeless, 1st test innings a total myth.
you can be sure when he comes to crease the next wicket is falling quickly.

 

[SteveNZ]

For my own interest and a conversation with a mate, how many catches have SA dropped?

At least 7

Yup, bats ahead of Tastle (who only a couple of seasons ago was batting 5 at times for Canterbury) and strikes at 158 in T20s lol

 

[cnerd123]

this is just cruel now

 

[straw man]

Yeah four drops on the first day and I can recall three today - two off Southee in Rabada's over and Henry dropped at third man. Was there an eighth earlier today?

 

[Binkley]

Gosh Blundell plays some beautiful shots.

 

[trundler]

All gone South today for the visitors

 

[TT Boy]

Whatever spinners average at Hagley, Stuurman averages more.
Olivier only 29 but looks washed.

 

[Flem274*]

Ooh that's out

 

[Flem274*]

People very reactionary on southees batting as usual. If ever there was a time for the bowlers to slog, it's now. He didn't come off and Henry (who bats with the same attitude) has. Happens guys chill out.

 

[Flem274*]

Speaking of slogging, maybe block a bit for Blundell now lol

 

[ashley bach]

whats the world record 10th wicket partnership?
could be on the cards...

 

[Bahseph]

Personally have never seen Stuurman bowl for an extended period of time,but surely your premier spin bowler is a better pick than your 6th choice seamer? SA won that series against India but even then it was despite their selections,not because of it.
