needs some weather help you'd thinkthe draw is now back in play...bigtime
Yup can't rule that out... looks very unlikely other than South Africa win but there is a serious chance our guys could do Matthews/Mendis act from few years ago where not a single wicket fell on the last day of the match.the draw is now back in play...bigtime
Not necessarily. If KW's elbow comes right and KJ can get himself back to where he was last season, there's still plenty of quality in the XI and immediately outside it, even after the inevitable Wagner and CdG retirements coming in the next 12 months.Us being good actually ended with the WTC right? 3 of 6 tests since we have been absolutely pathetic.
maybe but NZ should just try bat 4 sessions now, rather than push for the win.needs some weather help you'd think
Definitely the worst NZ fielding effort I can recall in years. Is that the 6th dropped chance in this test? If NZ had taken their opportunities after SA were 199/3, there's a good chance that they'd have finished the day 240/6 or 7, and failed to make 300 in the first dig.Jeez our fielding has been all over the place this test. Catching blinders, dropping sitters.
yes, achievable chance at first ever test series win over South Africa >>>>>>>>>>>> tiny chance of winning this match and still barely staying in the race for WTC finalmaybe but NZ should just try bat 4 sessions now, rather than push for the win.
Ummm yeah because a few slogs by tailenders proves the best Test bowling average for 100 years obviously means nothing.Jeez, never mind the bowler of 12 months ago, KJ looks a shadow of the bowler who first came into the side in 2020.
I wish it was 9.Wish it was a 3 Test series.
He's bowling 5-10kmh slower than he was last year, isn't bowling his outswinger at all (which was his best delivery last season) and has been pitching noticeably shorter as a result. He didn't take 50 wickets at 14 bowling like this.Ummm yeah because a few slogs by tailenders proves the best Test bowling average for 100 years obviously means nothing.
yeah its still very important to win the series.yes, achievable chance at first ever test series win over South Africa >>>>>>>>>>>> tiny chance of winning this match and still barely staying in the race for WTC final
