So MItchell is out with injury......maybe for the Aussie series.

According to Stead the option is for either Will Young to come in or move Phillips up the order.

Also Boult is available for selection for the T20s against the Aussies......do we pick him?

South Africa 41/2. Will Orourke has his first test wicket and is bowling well. Don't know who the yarpies are getting advice from, won the toss and chose to bst on a greenish wicket. Wagner and Orourke in for Santner and Jamieson. Will Young for Mitchell.

I loved Wagner's first over this morning, such an entertaining player to watch haha, shame about his wicket being taken off him

 

[Possum11]

Should be a easy win for NZ with S.A selection off two spinners.

Great work by Rachin.
Good to have an all-rounder who can turn the ball on the first day

Liking O'Rourke and Ravindra today. The others are bowling accurately, if a bit bland and vanilla. I had a thought that Wagner is the Black Caps Jazz Tevaga, all effort and aggression. Jazz Wagner, has a ring to it I think.

Bro how is this Paterson guy playing international cricket? Surely the worst player in the history of the game to get a test cap.

 

[Inruin]

Would it have been better to open with Young and push Conway down a spot or two?

Hopefully take some pressure off him as opener?

Do you pick for the 20/20 versus Australia or let him go back to domestic cricket and try and regain some sort of form before the test matches?

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Disappointed. Was expecting Williamson to get another hundred. High expectations

A very small test sample, but 557 first class wickets at an average of 23 suggests he's been a decent toiler for some years.

How Southee gets to bat so high is astounding. I'd have him batting at 12

Has a test best of 73 and the others are bunnies.

 

[Inruin]

Wagner showing good fight. Balanced attacking batting and getting valuable runs.

Pretty good shot making doing it. Certainly no bunny. Looks a lot more solid than Southee.
