***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

[Bahnz]

120/3, definitely SA's session in the end.

It's subjective obviously, but any time you pick up 3 wickets on a decent batting strip whilst keeping a reasonable grip on the scoring rate is a decent session for the bowlers imo. Evens I'd say.

 

[veganbob]

Even session but QDK still there can take it away in an hour.

Well done Henry, first time he has looked like a test bowler.

 

[Shady Slim]

balanced test this, loving it

I think the men's club was a cricket club which was called Valley of Peace or something because women weren't allowed.

So I didn't think the comparison to a women's only gym really made much sense.

I switched to the ground audio only at that stage, glad it's an option ... no more Doull, Richardson or Cummings!

What about that catch from Latham, one of the best I've seen in close ... just the anticipation to be moving way before the shot was played, incredible!

How do you switch to ground audio only?

Hit info and then the yellow button to go to audio options. I've noticed they've had the same option on NRL games this year too.

I dunno, I thought he started off well in England and was good in his first test in India last year, too.

Damn rain, this is shaping up as an excellent test.

 

[straw man]

Got to watch ten mins of cricket and then this rain . Forecast looks like there should be play most mornings for the remainder of the test, and then rain in the afternoon.

Excited for a Henry 6-fer too.

Did Maharaj walk when NZ had no reviews left? Bit of a rookie move if so.

 

[Smudge]

Coney is boring as hell, can't stand his commentary.

What is this? I don't even . . .

What is this? I don't even . . .

it is not a view held by all vegans, smudge.

Will we ever be efficient at disposing of the tail? FFS.

 

[TT Boy]

Not sure what Simon Doull is moaning about, this is a good partnership.

Also, who was the last international quick who took the new ball that was slower than de Grandhomme?

 

[TT Boy]

Jesus, that's a shot.

 

[CM Punk]

De Kock is an exceptional talent.

The SA's already have a great score and could easily push it beyond 350.

 

[CM Punk]

De Kock deserved a 100.

300 is a fantastic score on this wicket, it's going to tough to score off Philander and Rabada here.

 

[akilana]

Damn. Kock threw away 2 hundreds this series.

When we stop picking a provincial 4th seamer as a test match opening bowler.

Had the new ball v the tail 2 tests in a row, and it's been woeful. This woefulness may have been missed by many due to the huge number of other facets that were dreadful.

 

[TT Boy]

Henry’s figures have taken a battering. Getting a bit too excited with the short stuff here.

CdG has performed well tbh.

I hate to say it but again, it's a captaincy issue and bowling plans issue. So partially KW but we have a specialist bowling coach - what is he advising Williamson and the bowlers?
