I was watching the Inter Milan v Liverpool match in my bed with full intentions of watching some of the cricket which started at 10 but then fell asleep at half time. :dry:

SA 95 and 34/3
NZ 482

Are NZ that good or are SA just having their worst game in over 100 years?

NZ bowlers Wagner and Henry scored 107 between them while SA have lost 13 wickets for 129.

NZealand did get the best of the bowling conditions in the 1st innings but no obvious excuses for 2nd innings batting...maybe unfamiliarity of some of the players with conditions in NZealand...don't think too many of the current batsmen were in team when SA last toured NZealand..

Proteas have plenty of excuses - and they could be forgiven had they been beaten by 50 runs or 1 or 2 wickets - however the fact remains they were soundly thrashed. It seems that for some reason the batsmen are unable to defend a deviating ball, but yet in SA, they were able to do so - yes different pitches, but surely not that different ?

Not sure that they can find the answers in a week - so would seem that the best they can hope for, is to at least not lose by an innings :unsure:

Looks like the Proteas have made a very nice turn round. Well done now make sure you get past 400.

Fighting come back by the Proteas to be hammered in the first test then to hammer the World Test Champions in the 2nd test is some fight back. Pity there is not a 3rd test. Jansen appears to be a first choice bowler now and when Nortje is fit SA will have a very potent attack.

Brilliant to see test cricket in Pakistan, the home team going great against the Aussies 175/1 atm

India 270/5 v Sri Lanka in their test

Both matches live on TV

Only negative is that motor mouth Haysman is commentating on the Pakistan match.

The current series on the go is so predictable. India thrashing a weak Sri Lanka and Pakistan v Australia is set up to improve batting averages as the pitches will all turn out to be motor ways

West Indies and England series starts tomorrow, hopefully that will provide more entertainment
