Interesting that it hasn't been done against us either.

Kane is yet to fail to convert a Test 50 since COVID hit. 4x 100s, 3x 200s and a 52 not out in the WTC final.

I think it was SL who batted an entire day out against us without losing a wicket at Hagley (e: was actually at the basin!) some years back. It's nice we've put up a total but a lot of work to be done still on a pretty flat looking deck.

Yep, was Mathews and Mendis wasn't it, batting out to save a Test, and it rained on day 5?

Someone needs to tell Scotty Stevenson that saying people are 'deleting tins' on the bank doesn't have a place in a Test cricket commentary. The commentary equivalent of fingers down a chalkboard at best, or a knitting needle in your Jap's eye at worst.

I literally got out of my seat and walked out of the room when he said that.

On the contrary, I cracked up when he said that and then proceeded to delete a tin of my own.

Monkey's paw curls: Henry Nicholls gets 400.

That's right

 

[SteveNZ]

DOUGEH! Instant impact from the guy PEWS and I always knew should've been playing the last few Tests.

With a 122 kmph long hop! Great catch from Conway though.

 

[Flem274*]

Great stuff from the batsmen. Made it sound like a video game. Really happy for Nicholls, but it needs to be a beginning not a delay.

Ahem, same here.

****in McMillan perpetuating the "Doug doesn't swing it" meme. He literally just bowled an outswinger.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

From a distance.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Averages over 50 in the last 10 years (minimum of 20 innings)

Those little Kiwis "punching above their weight".

Was disappointed he said his best figures of 6-40 'could've been the win over Australia in Hobart' as well. **** me, of course it was. Surely those figures are burnt into any cricket fan's brain.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Macca's probably just mad that he couldn't win in Australia.

Not enough to snag MOTM off a highly deserving David Warner though.

 

[Flem274*]

That was a special knock tbf

Another benefit of cricket at the ground. Even your worst mate’s commentary is better than Scotty Stevenson.

Wasn't it a public voting system? And was also the last time they used it. Haha.

Yesterday sitting in the RA Vance, Stevenson was walking up the steps to the commentary box, Williamson hit a nice shot for four, people were clapping, then came a big loud voice saying "Shot!". Pretty sure it was Stevenson. It was really awkward how it just echoed out. Also I have no idea how he actually saw the shot, because he was walking up the steps away from the action.

 

[ataraxia]

He sure procrastinated the career-saving knock, but thankfully that's another few years for Nicholls.

But seriously, it's relieving to see we can still absolutely dominate teams at home. Great stuff. And we get the Bracewell–Bracewell bowling partnership!
