*Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

[Flem274*]

Absolutely disgraceful fielding, damn Ravindra really got the perfect match to debut.

Nah that's SL or Bangers at Hagley or The Basin.

He'd be on 160*

 

[straw man]

Can't help comparing his record to Tickner's myself.

Not really a similar bowling action though.

What's everyone's problem with Big Gus?

Canterbury's answer to Brett Hampton

I’ve never had to face KW as an opposition fan. I wonder what it’s like. As a fan, he feels very unthreatening most of the time, actually misses a lot of opportunities to score. But his discipline is incredible. I imagine that must be demoralising to opposition supporters.

The more pertinent point surely is that he actually debuted at Kanpur.

 

[Flem274*]

The more pertinent point surely is that he actually debuted at Ahmedabad.

Also true

Worlds greatest 17*

Closest is probably Joe Root pre-bazball

So if Williamson gets a hundred here it'll be the sixth time in a row that he's converted a 50. What's the record?

Are we saying that post-BazBall Root feels like a great player who’s inexplicably liable to get himself out (well, explicable by the fact that he’s playing BazBall)

If I challenged Rachin to hit a cricket ball into the grand canyon. He would smash it at a cactus, wait!, no run.

Hit a gap, man!

Meeeeeeow.

He's causing some trouble tbf

When in Wagnerland...

 

[thierry henry]

Is the pitch a bit 2-paced, or is it just a combo of deceptively slow bowling and rusty batting

Meeeeeeow.

There you go

 

[King Kane]

It's a race between Williamson and Rachin to see who can score a ton first, they are both going at about walking pace though.

 

[Athlai]

So if Williamson gets a hundred here it'll be the sixth time in a row that he's converted a 50. What's the record?

Probably Bradman
29 tons and 13 50s

 

[Athlai]

Rachin's SR is above 50. Nothing wrong with that

De Swardt: Angus McKenzie (slow)

Probably Bradman

Yeah, 12 in a row.
