Credit to the bloke, would've been easy for his LO bowling to fall off a cliff while he was being ridiculed in Tests.

 

[SeamUp]

Been a little champion for us.

Looks like we will get a full game today at Eden Park. Rain has stopped, though it has been raining for last 36 hours, it aint Napier so they will get the outfield ready in time

I think there's more rain to come, but hopefully it will clear again in time for the start:

Rain radar is pretty good

Auckland - Radar Area - Weather Radar Imagery, Rain Forecasts and more from MetService.com

Weather is coming from the north west the front passed over faster than predicted.

I think I'll bring out this old shirt for the game today, so wonderfully modelled by Roger here.

It's seen better days, but I wore it to the World Cup semi-final so it's a special one.

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 had no KW and RT in that ODI series and the hairy javelin hadn't returned to the side. It was a terrible NZ batting lineup

Ronchi actually scored runs at 7!

It was the last ODI series we lost at home

Would you like me to take a photo of the road from my office? I'm only a km or two away from Eden Park.

 

[Chewie]

It is very grey at the moment, looks like it's about to pour down again

 

[Mike5181]

It's pissing down at the moment unfortunately.

Forecast still says clearing by 6. Here's hoping.
