What a joke.. this is even worse then going of for bad light

 

[Zinzan]

Perhaps... but is there any radicals in NZ I don`t know about. Outside the All Black fans, i mean?

Not since the 1981 rugby tour against you blokes.

I assume its not a bomb scare otherwise the fire department is not the right people to be calling....

Blackcaps twitter account says cause of siren is unknown haha.

It can't just be due to a fire alarm if there's no smoke around. That just can't be protocol in an international sporting event. Utterly brainless.

 

[Neil Young]

Probably Southee's doings.

 

[_Ed_]

Stuff's commentary says "as far as anyone can see it's a false alarm". If that's the case, and if Sunday rain ends up robbing us of a result...

 

[S.Kennedy]

They felt the players were safe on the wicket, yet seemed to think people on the banks further away were in danger. Nothing makes sense about the thing.

 

[BeeGee]

Probably a student prank.

 

[veganbob]

If we are about to lose on day 5 and there isnt much time left.. then we know what to do..

 

[SeamUp]

Some viewers may have just gone home.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Rouge steam haha.

They did well to get play back underway so quickly.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

cmon patel toss it into the rough

Another good days play... nice that after 3 days it is as close to parity as you can get. Here`s hoping for weather and fire alarms to stay away...

Er...the firemen are the best equipped to deal with such an emergency.

I know it's annoying and everything but they're there for a reason. It'd be a bit bizarre to put peoples' safety behind an international sporting event.

Hash looking nice and calm.

Not a great day but ok , still in the game.

What would be a big enough lead?

It's on a knife edge. Wickets have fallen in the morning sessions.

Tough one. With Taylor not 100% maybe 270 depending if this pitch deteriorates more.

Maharaj's 5-for was the 7th occasion a SA spinner has done so against NZL in tests. Hughie Tayfield 14 overs 6 for 13

It was like when Paul Harris got that 5-for at Newlands and it was the first time a SA spinner got a 5-for in tests in SA since Harry Bromfield early 60's.
