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

[straw man]

Following on the computer and just had to restart twice, and each time we lose a wicket. Yuck.

Was always going to be the way but how **** does our batting lineup look with Kane dismissed?

 

[BeeGee]

I wish we'd won the toss.

Having said that, though, our bowlers may not have taken advantage of the conditions as well as SA's have.

There's no way they would have been this good. Rabada has been nigh on impossible to play.

 

[straw man]

Reminder SA were 21/3 last test and their left-handed opener scored a big century. Just need De Kock to drop him down the legside and it's on.

 

[_Ed_]

Rabada's conceded one scoring shot in his first 15 deliveries. Ridiculous.

 

[_Ed_]

Wahey, biggest partnership of the innings.

Give your head a wobble.



Scott Kuggeleijn rape trial: Alleged victim enjoyed the ***, cricketer tells court - National - NZ Herald News

By his own word's he is an atrocious bloke.

No, not necessarily.

The reality is that many girls will put up some token resistance before consenting, so as not to seem like a slut. It's sad that they feel they have to do this. But it's definitely true.

I've said this before, but just as her saying "yes" once doesn't grant permanent consent, her saying "no" once doesn't mean that consent can't be granted later on.

Also, I don't buy this idea that putting pressure on someone to have *** with you makes you a bad person, unless we're talking legite blackmail. It's far too nebulous a concept. Adults should understand that they are responsible for their own actions.

Raval's been tremendous so far.

 

[NZTailender]

tfw you want your side to recover on put up a good total but that may involve a spud getting a score and thus retained

 

[Bahnz]

I think he's looked very dicey, fair play to him for making runs though.

 

[straw man]

You guys are just lucky we have the mighty calm of Nicholls at the crease right now. Settle in for a big one.

 

[TheBrand]

I really want to like Nicholls, but jeez he looks *********.

 

[Athlai]

Relying on Raval and Nicholls for runs? Fml

 

[straw man]

Surprised Nicholls has driven successfully through cover two or three times now. It's not a shot I've seen him play very well before (too late to get across and pushes at it when ball outside eye-line), and against this attack too.

 

[straw man]

Congrats to anyone who took the odds of NZ losing another wicket just before lunch. Bound to happen :/

 

[Bahnz]

Haha, wtf was that?

 

[veganbob]

I thought Raval played rabada well.

Nicholls has been good. He has guts and played some good shots too.

 

[Slifer]

Anybody know how Steyn s recovery is coming?

 

[Howsie]

tbh this is the best I've ever seen Nicholls look. Nice 50

 

[jcas0167]

Nicholls unfurling a lovely cover drive was not something I expected to see. Raval was looking composed against Philander, but at sea once Maharaj came on for that final over before lunch.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Anybody know how Steyn s recovery is coming?

Think he is aiming for the England series
