[hendrix]

Mathews' slower balls ruining my aesthetic viewing experience.

KW took a while to get in the last time he was in Nelson and ended up scoring 100.

 

[Skyliner]

13.5 Mathews to Williamson, FOUR, four, four, four! Back of a length and outside off, another punch. He plays late and places it to the left of backward point. KW is toying with his opposite number
13.4 Mathews to Williamson, FOUR, an encore! Slower ball outside off, KW uses his feet, waits, adjusts and slaps it away past the covers
13.3 Mathews to Williamson, FOUR, classy stuff from KW! He hits the gap now. He shuffles away outside leg and punches it between backward point and the covers, square of the wicket. From the middle of the bat

Cricinfo: over-hyping Williamson since way back when.

It was total class batting tbf.

C'mon Rossco, stick around for a while.

urgh

ffs Tom

Latham and the summer of soft dismissals.

Ah, stop this KW-debate or take that to another thread please guys.

Meanwhile NZ bats first today. For restricting them below 300, SL need to take 3 wickets in the first 20.

1st one gone in 7.2. 2 more needed in the next 12.4.

Done. NZ won't get 300 now. Anything between 220 and 300 should see a good contest imo.

C'mon Rossco, stick around for a while.

Game on.

Pleased for Vandersay, had a good tour with the A side in Oct, deserves a chance at this level.

Pleased for Nicholls, good opportunity to build a big innings.

Latham and the summer of soft dismissals.

Ross: 290 & a barren wasteland.

 

[Skyliner]

I had a feeling he wouldn't, hence the desperate plea.

Was enjoying McCullum in the box talking about different players, but can we please skip the boring racehorses talk?

The cricket is an excuse for getting together to chat about racehourses & golf, you should know that by now.

 

[Moss]

Let off for Kane, he'd be cross with himself for giving that chance. Vandersay sure recovered well from the mauling on Monday.

Shot Nicholls!

 

[Meridio]

Nicholls a bit 'stabby' with his defence to Dilshan, Can't think of a better way to describe it, just seems to get a bit cast in position and then stabs his hands at it.
