CDG: 4th seamer for his province, opening seamer for his country.

Larsen; the supa selecta

 

[ImpatientLime]

Partly, though his seam position these days is better than it used to be, when you really did want to keep him away from the new ball.

... and CDG does get the new ball to swing, but he's making the batsman play only about 50% of the time, which is rubbish at his pace.

the other 50% is short and wide outside off, being slapped to the boundary.

 

[straw man]

Serious garbage from CDG that over. Williamson does seem to have a tendency to give a bowler one or two more overs in a spell than he should.

FYI if you haven't followed the match til now, the selection of De Grandhomme as a bowler is an awful joke. Should have picked an actual bowler like Matt Henry.

yeah i've seen a fair bit of new zealands home season and he seems a perfectly fine horses for courses selection. the problem is that your selectors haven't brutally cut him off as required.

lol duminy m8 that is a shocker

 

[straw man]

Thanks JP, almost worth giving him those 4 wickets to keep him in the team

 

[Meridio]

Oh man, that's such a soft wicket. Was just thinking that it's already looking pretty easy to bat out there.

 

[straw man]

Is Wagner falling away a bit in his action? Less upright in his action and pushing the ball across the RH batsman.

Must be just this unfamiliar bowling-full thing that's doing it.

 

[Athlai]

Does Southee bowling well just immediately suck the talent from the rest of our bowlers?

 

[straw man]

Much better over from Wagner

 

[straw man]

Problem is we have the fours wickets but only one of them was one of SA's big guns (Elgar), which still leaves all of Du Plessis, Amla & De Kock to get through.

Ugh why bring back CDG, there's less swing and nibble around now and should try Patel, or even Neesham.

(Edit: And then CDG nibbles the first one, let's see if he can do that and make the batsman play)

lovely timing

lovely timing

hahaha

Just keep standing at midwicket and swallowing these dolly catches Nicholls.

 

[straw man]

Oh I didn't see he almost dropped it. That would have been.... embarrassing.

 

[NZTailender]

CdG almost has as many wickets as Neesham at Test level.

 

[straw man]

We want Jeets, we want Jeets

 

[Bahnz]

Don't think that there's any serious doubt that he's a better bowler than Neesh - at least on New Zealand decks.

 

[straw man]

De ColinHomme!

 

[hendrix]

holy crap...this could actually happen.

Jeets to win us the test on day 4.
