    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2012

    What an utterly crap day of test cricket. Who would actually pay to come and sit here in this old, cold, pox-ridden, wind-blown venue on a day like today and watch such boring cricket as this? What a snore-fest.

    Currently drizzling on the Kapiti Coast and possibly heading this way, apparently.

    2pm start?

    Umps out having another inspection now and they're looking rather concerned. I predict another delay.

    I don't think I've ever seen the outfield at the Basin looking so wet (other than when it's actually raining, of course!). The umps were initially saying at least an hour's delay to the start of play but I reckon we can write off at least the entire first session. Then there's the possibility...

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2012

    So do I. That was an absolute shocker as far as the technology is concerned. My only comfort in the Taylor dismissal is that there was a remote chance that the ball was hitting/clipping the leg stump and the onfield umpire gave Taylor out. Rightly or wrongly (probably should have been given...

    Daniel Flynn? Hhhmm.... maybe - but my pessimistic side tells me that he's just yet another NZ batsman who will forever struggle to step up to international standard, despite great domestic form. Maybe he'll get a chance to prove me wrong. No, he isn't injured. Can't understand his omission...

    Anyone who wants a better understanding of the technologies behind "Hawkeye", "Snicko" and the "Hot Spot" should watch today's Dilmah Tea Party during the tea break (at 4:20pm).

    ***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

    I disagree completely that the ball in the Mills dismissal never looked like it was going to hit the stumps. The video footage indicated that it was possibly going to at least clip the leg stump (and Hawkeye later suggested the same thing). That said, I think the decision to give Mills out was...

    ***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

    The Sarwan dismissal was far from 50/50. The television evidence quite clearly indicated that the ball did everything required for it to be judged LBW. It hit in line and was going on to hit the stumps (and height wasn't an issue). The only 50/50 part of the equation was whether the ball hit the...

    ***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

    I agree that it was probably just clipping leg stump but who would know for sure? Like, 100% for sure. Just like you said, "IF the ball shaves the wicket it is still out"... Well, if it did actually shave the wicket then, yes, it would have been out (bowled) - but it didn't shave the wicket...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Well, he's usually a slow-starter... but he tends to pick up the pace after he's settled in and ends up with a reasonably good strike-rate... and he always looks so damn good! Anyhoo... as I write this, we still have 8 wickets in hand and that's the important thing!

    ***Official*** New Zealand in South Africa

    Does anyone have the SMS number for questions to the radio commentary team (including the appropriate international prefix from NZ)? I've heard them read out and answer many, many questions, but I've never once heard them tell anyone what the number is. Does anyone here know what it is? I've...
