Don't worry, just do your usual thing: wait until the innings break, declare NZ well behind, and we'll be 2-0 up and ready to wrap up the series by the time he comes back.
Interesting footage of Milne and Ferguson there. Ferguson looking a shade quicker to my eye, but Milne still bowling with some good heat.

Slightly surprised at the Phillips pick given his age and the opposition, but it was always a question of when not if with him, and his domestic T20 form was exceptional. Relatively unusual for NZ to pick a batsman at 20. Latham was 19, but that was against Zimbabwe, and Kane was 20 against Bangladesh then India. Before that I think McCullum debuted as an opener in the World Series aged 20.

Is it true that in NZ Saffas are called boat people, because the first thing we do when we get there is buy a boat?

This makes it look like most of the rain will blow through before game time tomorrow: 3 day Rain Forecast - Weather Radar Imagery, Rain Forecasts and more from MetService.com

If I remember right from a couple of posts (from Steve, I think?), very much a work in progress.

keen for this to see how nz perform against some solidness opposition at home
if they can draw or even win it'll put world cricket in an interesting state

I think SA fans also want a few players to convince more and a NZL tour is good test.
There is also the fact that we beat NZL to zip in the ODI's last tour and beat them in the tests so the Kiwi's will want to put that right and get a first test series win against SA.

We still have issues to iron out in the test team to. Cook/Duminy still looking over shoudlers ? Bavuma and 3rd seamer etc

There is still question marks... particularly Bavuma and probably Duminy. But man for man with QDK coming in at 7, think our batting should be alright and I think our bowling is still strong even with the loss of Abbott, think Olivier deserves a shot, or even Morris. Better not play Parnell in the Tests team, gives me no confidence. Would love to see Morkel back....

I'm with you.
Pitches used to be much tougher in New Zealand to bat on and score. If anything our last few tours have been tough to try and get 20 wickets with some tough conditions for bowling ie we seem to get Dunedin every tour now and it is just too damn cold to get seam or swing and the rain of course. Thought Hamilton at least brought reverse swing but the Basin was flat as well last tour.

Double No. 1 'special' for Imran Tahir | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo
Nice article on Tahir... has such pride playing for SA, regardless of where he was born. Would never have picked him as a no1 LO bowler... he has done fantastic for us.
