*Official* South Africa in New Zealand 2022

[James]

Seems a bit harsh for Henry to not be given the chance for his 10 wicket bag.

 

[NZTailender]

Well I didn't expect we'd do this well.

Henry deserves the last wicket to make basically a perfect match

 

[NZTailender]

Oh well, five fer for Tim is still ace. Brutal victory that

 

[BeeGee]

Incredible performance. Congrats NZ.

 

[_Ed_]

Sounds like an obnoxious celebrappeal for the last wicket. What a way to wrap it up.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

All over!

5-fer for Southee

Shame Henry didn't get 10, and Blundell missed his 100.

Amazing test match

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Tim Southee now has the most wickets in tests in NZ ahead of some bloke called Hadlee.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This felt more like village cricket or that Pranav Dhawade 1000 runs match.

The Proteas were lost

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Best pace attack: NZ, Australia, or India?

Then very good attacks for SA, Pakistan, and England (if Branderson is picked).

Even some decent seamers in the other teams.

Amazing pace depth in world cricket.

That's actually not that rare these days, good time to be a fast bowler.

Southee in the period from start of 2018 to now (the general timeframe for this pace bowling paradise) has 127 wickets in 26 Tests at 22.22 with a SR of 48.4 and 8 five wicket hauls (thanks for getting that last wicket while I was typing this up Southee). He's been better than Bumrah's entire career basically so far (113 wickets in 27 Tests at 22.85/SR 51.5). He obviously has great partners in crime, but he's been surprisingly underrated I feel.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

That's a fantastic win, but I'd be very surprised if South Africa don't come back harder in the next spin around at Hagley. Rare as hen's teeth a victory against the Proteas, so bask in the joy of it.

Hard to pick and choose really.

 

[Bahnz]

That’s a paddling.

 

[Bahnz]

Oof, Elgar lokks so pissed off, wouldn’t like to be in the changing room for the post match bollocking he’ll be handing out to his players.

 

[Bahnz]

Hard to pick and choose really.

I’d say Aus the all round number 1, with NZ being better than India in swinging conditions and vv in faster bouncy conditions.

 

[Xix2565]

I’d say Aus the all round number 1, with NZ being better than India in swinging conditions and vv in faster bouncy conditions.

I think each attack dominates in their home conditions, and away from home I don't think Australia's been too tested since Cummins became a god really and NZ just don't get to play enough Tests (crime against cricket really for any Test side that isn't the Pig 3). Though I don't really mind your pick either.

 

[Daemon]

NZ are so lucky. Pitch flattened out after 49.2 overs then quickened up exactly 117.5 overs later.

 

[Starfighter]

What a thumping.
