Day 2 at Wellington: Truncated Again

I came across an apt description of today's play on the CricketWeb Forum:

Everything was just utterly miserable about the day.

Wellington's miserable.

The bowling was miserable.

The batting was miserly.


Vettori and co. were battling the Wellington wind as much as the South Africans, and I couldn't help thinking back to how Iain O'Brien used to do the into-the-wind job so well. In other news, JP Duminy and Alviro Petersen are enjoying a new lease of life in tests, though I feel South Africa could do a lot better than Alviro (never mind that he'd walk into a NZ side).

If weather permits, I'm picking South Africa to give themselves one session to push the score to 350-plus before declaring, and having a go at NZ.
