Haha, well if it leads to some media scrutiny of the selection team than that’s something at least.

would be interested to know what the record is for the most runs by an NZ partnership in a series is. These two must be running it pretty close now with 704 runs between them.
They are no 1 by a long way (Jones and Crowe 2nd with 552 vs SL 91/92 but they only had 2 partnerships).

Blundell has also gone past Warren Lees (in Pakistan mid 70s) for the most in a series for a NZ keeper.

123/5
Waiting for Blundell to be rewarded with znother elevation to opener.

God that was such a panicky selection. In another universe Blundell gets dropped from opener but this time doesn't finally recover his form against SA and gets dropped permanently.

Going on a tour of Aus without a backup batter - more selectorial madness. It was a good thing our keeper could bat.

Another 100 run partnership for these two.

Impact was a bit further down the wicket than I initially thought, which is why the angle was enough to take it down.
