Don't be too hasty.
Or South Africa.... Those two countries give us a lot of grief at this stage. Destroy/hurt kiwi batsmen, and ensure that bowlers get dropped after each series.

He's supposed to be a genuine quick. What's his pace like?

Or England on seaming wickets, or Bangladesh in Bangladesh, or...

Most were around 132-134. He was bowling into the wind, but Powell reached 142 bowling from the same end.

That's the last occasion I can remember, will do a quick check though....
Bangladesh earlier this year, but they don't exactly count.
SA 2006, roaaaad
Zim... don't really count.
Sri Lanka 2005 on a total road
2004 on a decent pitch, aha!

What a surprise that we have to go back to Richardson's era to find one.

Well Taylor is a genuine century maker, so we could have a new era in regards to that, but it takes two baby.
Good dear god, two centuries from NZ v 1 ton from the English and the later wins.
What are the odds, now that NZ won the 1st session of the 1st test match and then stuff it up again later on today. (jinx)

Good first session. Pity Taylor and Powell aren't getting any support from the pie throwers.
How seems to be trying to smack his way back into form andh e's abandoning the classic Jamie How game style, to his detriment imo.
Flynn has been a bit streaky, but kudos to him for batting as well as he has. He must pass fifty though to start convincing me.
McIntosh survived, which is good. He'd be cannon fodder on quick pitches though, taking his eyes off the pull when he pulls and a distinct lack of footwork. But, he's still there and handles pressure, which many others can't.

We also needs a solid platform. Both of Taylor's hundreds so far have come in instances where the top three have done their job (more or less).

Bahnz is always miserbale. I'm sure he's a closet fanboy optimist.

It's odd to think that at such an early stage in his career Taylor already has a very very big chance to surpass Flemings hundred tally with relative ease.
