Smudge confirmed as captain for the 3rd Test

Let's see if they can salvage some dignity and not bat like a complete bag of spuds for a change

 

[Herbie66]

Harry Brook now averaging more than The Don

807 runs & 100.87

Most runs ever in their first 9 innings (beating Kambli's 798)

4 x 100's , 3 x 50's

May still be waiting his opportunity if Bairstow didn't get injured.

Remarkable

Only Gavaskar (912) & Bradman (862) have scored more runs in their first 6 Tests

SA needed 4 runs off the final over to win the match with 5 wickets in hand and ended up all out and losing by 1 run.

Beth Mooney is such a gun.

All the other stars came and went, but she's the one there at the end. Again.

AUS 6/156, Mooney 74* (53)

Even money from here!

That was a win, and loss for the ages, not one S.A will remember too fondly, some very undisciplined batting there, don't think the coach would be too happy lol

Whaaaat? 10 runs off 8 overs? It's not blind cricket is it?

I find it more amusing that it was chased down in 2 balls.

Back down to earth , run out for a 🦆 without facing a ball in the second Innings.

Now averaging 89.89

Classic unfolding at the Basin!

England 7/211, 47 to win

Foakes and the bowlers left

If NZ get it done, it'll be the fourth win after being forced to follow on in history, and the first one not to involve Australia getting rolled!

 

[Woosie]

... boom!

 

[mike89]

England all out 256

NZ win by one run!

Fourth ever win after following on
Second time a Test has been decided by one run (Aus v WI, Adelaide, 1993)

What a finish!

Forgot about this

 

[Raaraab]

What a finish!

And the genuine joy from both teams after the win, to have been part of such a classic Test was great to behold.

And Brendon McCullum was particularly exuberant , as the commentator said “he knows how important this is for New Zealand cricket “

India 5/45 in the first hour

Kuhnemann 3/7
