As I said earlier, very unlikely there will be enough time for NZ to win.

In fact, I think both sides wouldn't mind the draw, and we are unlikely to a crazy declaration or crazy batting for a result.

Number 5 lets that theory down

I think all of 1-5 are at least a bit tricky. The common thread through 1-4 is that they're unlikely because game though they are and merits though they have, the Kiwis are a long way inferior to this very decent SA side. Point 5 is hard to call but I can't see them getting enough play to win without doing something stupid like bowling SA out 50 overs in overcast conditions, with all the showers just missing the ground.

Yes juce. I just feel the groundsmen were itchy yesterday and they know something about the ground we dont. If 20mm do fall, it will be a wreck.Ive got twice the green on SA than I have on the draw. Just boosted both greens by laying NZ at 9.6 some time ago. Now red but no way SA lose an away test against a lesser quality team. They won't go down easy in the second innings if it comes to that. Draw or SA.

spot on

i have a huge red on NZ now and i am completely comfortable with it.

There's a lot of group think on this thread but while I'd like to believe in my SA green, I don't really and I certainly don't believe in a Kiwi win. I think we're all right.

The Kock is just huge, isn't he?

Not sure he isn't a better keeper either. Great player.

By:

pxb When: 26 Mar 17 00:55

For the record, I'm speaking from an all green for hundreds position. So it's not book talk.

By:

detraveller When: 26 Mar 17 00:55

DeKock way ahead of Gilly imo. Gilly is a legend of the game and DeKock could also be by the time he's done.

he really is a great player, one of the best 5 in the game atm

By:

DAN1974 When: 26 Mar 17 00:57

As a wicketkeeper/batsmen he is nearly as good as Jack Russell

Wagner is bowling some real filth in this game

theres a bit of rain coming in on the radar, its not far away

Should be there as soon as we restart.

By:

detraveller When: 26 Mar 17 01:22

Cant help but notice auckland weather while looking at the radar. Would have been 1.01 draw if the game was there.

By:

jucel69 When: 26 Mar 17 01:23

As previously discussed this is sort of score that makes a result very difficult. No chance of a follow on & thus we will need 4 innings to complete the match. Looking like a 10/1 shot at best

By:

pxb When: 26 Mar 17 01:33

Radar not looking too good.

By:

Paddles When: 26 Mar 17 01:33

Covers are on. I've left ground heading north. DARK

By:

detraveller When: 26 Mar 17 01:38

Again covers are brought on with no rain falling. Is this normal? Or extra ordinary precaution?

By:

jucel69 When: 26 Mar 17 01:38

Sorry it was raining when they brought on the covers.

By:

detraveller When: 26 Mar 17 01:39

Anyhow it will rain soon and that will be it for the day(and the test?).

By:

DAN1974 When: 26 Mar 17 01:48

its going to rain any minute

By:

Paddles When: 26 Mar 17 01:48

I'm 15 mins north of Hamilton now. Full on rain. It's all over for today. Draw price should be sub 1.1

By:

DAN1974 When: 26 Mar 17 01:49

the comms are fecking clueless

By:

DAN1974 When: 26 Mar 17 01:50

N1 paddles, thanks for your input

detraveller When: 26 Mar 17 01:55

Does anyone else notice something fishy here? I think the ground is in a very bad state. Yesterday a slight drizzle caused 'areas of concern' around the square. Now a drizzle 10 min before restart causes a 15 min delay with saw dust being thrown on some areas. How will they manage the overnight rain?

By:

DAN1974 When: 26 Mar 17 01:58

wicket and the draw price doesnt even flinch

By:

DAN1974 When: 26 Mar 17 01:59

I'm expecting the kock to go beserk shortly

yes, and there is a shed load of rain on the way in the next 48 hours, its a draw nailed fecking on.

By:

DAN1974 When: 26 Mar 17 02:02

this is a perfect score for draw backers

Think my work is done here, tick nicking such a low low price could leave you stranded if you go and boil the kettle for a few mins.......think I'll reject an all nighter as Windies v Pak 1 dayer can't be missed, 2 erratic teams, should be fun!
