How do you feel if you are Ajaz Patel having Santner and Philips selected ahead of you?

It's not a great incentive to be a specialist spin bowler is it?

Better to be a batsman who can bowl some spin semi adequately.

Especially when he sees one of the rare NZ pitches taking turn....would've been licking his chops.

Australia have named a full strength T20 squad. Will make for a great 3 matches now.

 

[John Nick]

Bat for another hour and put them back in again.
That's my guess.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Don't want to jinx, but Conway spending time with Kane should set him right.

I was just about to say the same he is looking a lot more solid defensively than I have seen him for a while. If he can bat time the runs will come

With twenty seven overs left in the day, will we bat out the whole day or declare with twenty overs to go with a lead of 450 if we accelerate to seven runs per over?

Bat rest of the day I think

I think they could still Bowl tonight.

 

[John Nick]

I think they could still Bowl tonight.

My thoughts also but Southee as a bowler himself will take into account how his other quicks are holding up.
Especially Jameson

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Man today I finally get why my old man Harped on about how great hadlee was!

I will talk about Kane Williamson to my boys the same way!

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

South Africa as it stands will have to break a test record to chase, we should definitely bowl 10 to 15 overs at them tonight.

 

[Inruin]

Put the reverse sweep away Conway!

 

[watcher]

I would put them in for an hour tonight then tomorrow attack them in the morning with a fresh bowling attack and a near new ball.

 

[John Nick]

Williamson might have been told. Get to a hundred and then we declare

 

[Wah's Up]

That was a bit soft

 

[Bay39er]

Not sure @Wrighty rates these centuries by KW

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Just imagine if he played more than 2/3 of the tests that India, Australia and England play. What would he have been capable of?

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

WTF Mitchell! Tonk it bro!!

 

[John Nick]

Not sure @Wrighty rates these centuries by KW

Or Rachin's 2 wickets.
Oops

I liked Rigor's description of him not being a swashbuckler in the Ponting mold, but instead wearing down the opposition by way of a thousand paper cuts.
