Jaiswal looks very classy. England collapse makes the BCs look good.

Losing by 434 runs and batting for a total of 111 overs while conceding nearly 900 runs. Not one of our better Test Match efforts

220 would be a good score here
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages, What feats he did that day
Loftie-Eaton scored his ton in 33 balls, so it’s the fastest hundred in T20 internationals.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

He was in Paul Roos Gymnasium in Stellenbosch. The school that produced the most Springboks.
Riley Norton, current headboy is a double SA player - cricket and rugby.

Well done Kiwis. Great day of Test Cricket I hear.
Very happy for Green. Could be the innings that Kickstarts a special career.
Would say it's evenly poised.....

Pretty sure a test match is played over five days, not one.
Australia's a very fine side, and I fully expect them to win the series. They have a better attack than ours, and I expect them to use the conditions tomorrow morning better than we did today. Conceding 30 extras in a day is unacceptable. Should've had 'em all out for under 250 imo. Damn fine innings by Green, mind.
Yes I do realise that a Test match is played over 5 days. Considering the 3-0 result in the T20s to start the tour and the 31 years since you have won a test match against us in NZ I naturally thought congratulations may be in order for a competitive first day.
Sorry, will retreat back to antagonistic ways

I was replying to Oom's post, though.
Cricinfo doesn't agree with you:
Gumboot knows more than Cricinfo.But the pitch has looked better for batting today, so New Zealand will take some hope from that.
