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

[Skyliner]

Latham has now played 5 tests at Bay Oval and averages 13.22 at this ground.

Seddon Park is one of his favourites: 7 tests for an average of 52.36

Conway is being selfish and too focused on contributing to the team here imo

 

[Fuller Pilch]

No you have Turner and Bert Sutcliffe or Stewie Dempster open in an NZ all time team, not Latham.

I'd also have Richardson and Wright ahead of Latham too.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I've got one and only one hope for this series - Duanne Olivier is spectacularly unsuccessful, his strike rate drops, and Shane Bond regains his rightful place as third best of all time.

View attachment 38936

I've run the numbers and all we need is 34 wicketless overs from Olivier.

Holy heck we actually got there! Declare now please and don't select Olivier for the second test.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I absolutely subscribe to the Wright and Sutcliffe arguments but Latham deserves to be mentioned with them. Has more hundreds than both. Sutcliffe had a very short career and Wright's record is poorer.

Sutcliffe was 1947-65. Do you mean Dempster?

 

[Gnske]

You'll all miss Latham when Finn Allen is opening with his girthy swing and making Tim McIntosh look like a genius.

Might've been a "terrible" review but Conway remains all at sea.

Really want to see a replay of the single with Williamson being like "wtf bro run"

 

[Gnske]

Is Brand wearing his glasses? That was more desperate than TJB getting into someones DMs on snapchat

 

[ashley bach]

Jeez Conway looks lost at the moment, he's really having a tough time of it.

#Lucky to get away with that awful shot too.

this will happen when Glenn Phillips is captain and New Zealand play pure meme cricket

Also Santner with only 50 wickets after all these years is big hmmm very interesting hmmmmm yes

40 tests

Only 12 less than Bradman and almost twice as many as George Headley and Graeme Pollock.

Bradman scored about a billion hundreds and Headley and Pollock are names frequently criticised or left out for lack of Tests on here

Spin isn't real

Archie Jackson for me. If he was that good he would have got more tests but the dude could never kick on after a setback.

 

[NZTailender]

South Africa giving Pakistan a run for their money in the catching stakes here

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Did Williamson bet on himself being caught and the Saffas bet against it?

 

[Chubb]

Ah, work is quiet I can switch Kayo on and watch a classical Williamson innings ...

Oh my word.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Oh deary me.
