Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread.

Buffon II

We are proper shark these days.

it's been two really shark performances from our 'B' squad. No Conway, no Boult, no Williamson. Have to give someof our back up squad gametime, good to see Sears get a run, just a pity our batters didnt stand up to the test.

That South Africa team that is touring here is a fudgeing disgrace. If we don’t whitewash them we should never play test cricket again.

We can't even dominate Bangladesh

TV Guide incorrectly telling me we are playing Pakistan not Bangladesh.

Holy crap, it's like 1971 never happened 

How bout that Finn Allen eh??? Been loving this series against Pakistan, really good stuff.  

Just been watching the Women's Pacific T20 Cup being broadcast on TVNZ on demand. Samoa just pulled off an epic come-from-behind win against Vanuatu, smashing 16 off the last over

Congrats to the Wellington Blaze!! They beat the Central Hinds in the T20 Super Smash competition this afternoon in Auckland.  Came right down to the wire.

The Blaze looked washed up by only scoring 89 off 17, but managed a literal 1 run win off the last ball. Melie Kerr is a superstar. Sophie Devine bowled 2 wides in the last over and still won it lol

Test cricket is the absolute best. No other format will ever come close.

Absolutely. Australia and India losing home test matches on the same day must be pretty rare! Both matches showing no matter how dominant you are, batting 4th is always the toughest thing to do in a test match.

Thought Ashwin might sneak them home there for a bit. 

Agree Buffy- Test is best!

What an amazing last 6 months for Ravindra

Kane Williamson now has 31 test centuries.

I doubt we will ever see a batsmen like him again for New Zealand.

Williamson has converted 10 of his last 11 fifties in to hundreds.

The one he didn't convert? 52 not out against India in the World Test Championship final to get us over the line along with Ross Taylor.

An all time great of the sport.

Wonderful stat on the TV just now. This is the 8th time that Kane Williamson has brought up his 34th fifty. #NZvSA

Well he is gonna have a 9th chance now. What an innings by Kane.

32 test hundreds.

Our greatest ever sportsman.

Second test is not off to a good start

what is it about play the aussies that we in turn to amatuers?

I'm feeling optimistic with where we are at with the test match.  We can do this!!!
