yeah from that perspective, even though my expectations were very low, it's sad for Fulton to get one last chance and it to be cut short like this

Seriously, a ****ing thumb injury?! FFS Southee...

They've pulled it back now, both well under 3 runs an over. That's good news about Brownlie btw.

Scoring at a typical South African pace at the moment. Still no wickets though, and these aren't county level openers. I'd be worried if I was McCullum.

I wouldn't bet on it. He's taken 10 wickets @ over 50 his last six first class games, looked well down on pace during that 20/20 a couple of weeks ago too. If Wagner can't beat him out you may as well write him off as an international prospect.

can't buy a wicket.

Can certainly give one away though

Howsie · 29-12-2012, 04:39 AM

1. Guptill
2. McCullum
3. Williamson
4. Brownlie
5. Flynn
6. Watling
7. Franklin

Is all but confirmed now I suppose. God I hope Franklin can score some runs, I'd glady take that over seeing Colin ****ing Munro pick up a test cap.

Indeed they seem to be giving patel in particular a good bowl.

Boult really taking some tap in his second spell.

Ok, correct me if im wrong, and i havent searched the whole thread for this, but the Sa v NZ tests arent being broadcast, even in SA? Host broadcaster has declined to telecast,not worth their effort, apparently.

Pretty disappointing bowling effort so far, though I suppose you could argue that it's the bowlers getting overs under their belt that counts. Feel a bit for Bruce Martin, it's his first NZ tour and he's only bowled 4 overs - a 3 over spell and then one before lunch. Has gone for 24 in those overs, but you think you'd give a new bowler, particularly a spinner, the chance to settle, no?

They'll still be shown on SuperSport. It's just not on FTA anymore, which is sad in a lot of ways.

Howsie · 29-12-2012, 05:42 AM

50 overs in and still no wicket. This is going to be such a fun series
