Who is he btw?
No longer, but used to be considered 'our biggest fan'. Unsure if he still is but literally from the early 90s to recently, was at every NZ home or away match. Used to get a serious amount of TV time until SKY pushed him out of their shots.

Weather radar looks good today, chance of a nigh-on full day. With the amount of rain and sweating last night, don't expect it to be any easier to bat on at all. McMillan might end up eating his words given a middle order without any great technical application.

Looking much better today. I'm sure even KW will score runs in NZ's 2nd dig with it looking this much of a road..

I would have taken a 37 from Taylor prior to the match. Better than I thought he'd bat tbf.

Nicholls looks so slow in his movements, concrete shoes. I just can't see him being test standard.. Hope he proves me wrong today.

All Raval needs to work on in my view is his offside game, if he starts getting his front leg closer to the ball going across him, squaring off his stance a little more and make sure he's playing it beneath his eyes then he'll be able to solve his current issues with the wider off drive and cover drive.

He's great off his pads, solid technique in defense, great down the ground when they over pitch, it's just that tendency to play away from the body at fifth stump line that will have him in some trouble when his eye isn't in.

Amir has also had him twice dropped so far, fending at a ball he doesn't need to play.

Wth is this rubbish? Amir is bowling like a genuine world class bowler from England to now and yet they drop catches almost every other delivery for him.

It's crazy. Imagine if amir had a sa or Australian slip fielding line up.

I feel really bad for him.

He's got a better average than Bradman and Voges.

Edit: well, not now.

Damn. He's left very well and knows where his offstump is when the RH bowler is over the wicket. Sure didn't like him round the wicket though.
