I can't believe I ate the whole thing
As an aside, NZ viewers, who is this donkey on the Olympic 'Ready for Rio' filler? The woman co-host is clearly frustrated with his buffoonery.
nah, the ball's swung way more today than it did yesterday.Tim Southee's new ball spell looking like more of a waste of a seaming wicket. Could have had SA in real trouble given how well Boult bowled on the first morning.
Yeah there was a little movement yesterday but today (for both countries bowlers) it was markedly different.nah, the ball's swung way more today than it did yesterday.
Ha, this analogy attained meme-status on here when Steyn bowled that amazing spell at Cape Town against India in 2011, except it was 145 kmph in his case. I think some commentator made that comparison.I think that was referring to the seam movement he got in that over vs Taylor. There was one full delivery which was literally like a Warne leg break at 130kph.
well done dickheadIt may seem a bit early but after that start I'm calling a Guptill hundred.
Don't think Kane or Taylor offered an edge iirc.this scorecard looks like home, but reading through here sounds like i missed some awesome bowling. kane and taylor play well to survive or were there drops?
well done dickhead
pfft give over. The Boss was expertly getting his bat out of the way so he wouldn't nick it. That takes a lot of skill.Taylor wasn't good enough to edge it in that Philander over. Don't think anyone could've touched a couple that he bowled.
Get finals day on, somehow somewhat on trackIs it raining everywhere on the planet or what ? What the **** is this ****?
Well yes, and it makes you wonder why people are comparing a strike-bowler to a batsman. In the end, if Steyn has longevity it may well be because he hasn't played so much, rather than being flogged into the ground.There's nothing overly freakish about Cook's injury record given he's a batsman.
Some of those deliveries from Philander were close to impossible to lay bat on. Genuinely difficult batting conditions against two class bowlers in poor light with plenty of seam and swing about.Didn't watch that passage but my dad was saying only Williamson looked like he had a clue, which was more a reflection of how good the bowling was. Sounds like you have to be at KW's level to be able to counter those two at the moment.
Nothing overly freakish about the second most consecutive Test appearances ever?There's nothing overly freakish about Cook's injury record given he's a batsman.
Meant to be crap as well tomorrow.Looks like I missed a good session for SA this morning... pity. Will have to watch highlights later. Hoping for better weather tomorrow.
