    Love Rigor carefully explaining why a poor conversion rate can't be used to criticise a batsmen. Hmm, wonder what his was like!

    192/1.

    Williamson on 75 and still below his average in the last 5 tests against SL.

    Kane averaging (AVERAGING!) 100+ v Sri Lanka!

    Career average currently sitting on 52.26.....

    Simply outstanding. God bless this man.

    So surely the plan is to grind them into the dust today and tomorrow ? Forecast could potentially fuck us on day 5 but...

    Yep. I'm genuinely furious about this with test ton number 20 in his sights.

    That was such an incredible innings. The Sri Lankans were unsure about celebrating and the commentators so lost for words when he out. To score so fast, with so much control and without chances is unreal.

    I shouldn't be pissed off.....but I am.

    The little legend has set the bar so fucken high on himself that he's a victim of his own brilliance in one sense.

    I'm not angry, just disappointed.

    Taylor continuing where the little master left off and looking good. Latham knuckling down as he has all day.

    She's a good day to be a Black Caps fan.

    We seem to have a weird hold on the Lankans, particularly over here. Not sure why, but will take it!

    There has never been a better time to support this Test side - ever. These guys are remarkable and winning serious games all over the place

    Raval and Latham seem to have forgotten they are decent players and reverted to the 'shit opener' Black Cap stereotype. Both owe the team some runs so KW and Rossco can put the feet up for a bit.

    Great work Latham and to a lesser extent Raval.

    Obviously you read my post so I can't help but feel I can share in the glory a little bit ?

    I've got a theory that Tom Latham relaxes a bit when his opening partner gets out before he does - largely based on my own experiences opening the batting.

    Hence, I think he possibly quite liked batting with Guppy and batting with someone like Raval, who makes a lot of middling scores might not get the best out of Tom.

    Is that you Mark Richardson?

    I loved you on CGW

    Hardly surprising really.

    3 x top 10 ever bowlers and 2 x top 5 ever batsmen in the same team, and possibly our best ever keeper batsman.

    It feels awesome to be confident about our ability!

    Massive call.

    The rest sits pretty nicely although are you saying Ross Taylor ( just got a nice fifty ) is only our 5th best ever ? Personally I'd say 3rd....

    So, best case scenario?

    350+ lead by drinks last session tomorrow. 2.5 sessions to roll them? (5th day weather an issue?)
