Conway can look ropey early in an innings. But he's absolutely loving it out there right now
Hard to see this being much other than a draw, unless Ajaz can get it turning square somehow.
Only the third time in history the openers have both scored a ton and a fifty in a match ( with Latham bringing up his 50 )
That's a cool stat considering this is test number 2614.
But yeah, tough to see NZs attack knocking these guys over with enough time to force a win.
time to start going for records if you cant win, they have one now, if they both get a ton, i suspect thats another
Apparently this is the record for most runs scored by the opening partnership in any test.

Yep it would be.
No disrespect to any number of past NZ gutsy openers but its not an area of the game littered with kiwi greats. I think it's outstanding that the Black Caps have this record.
Devon Conway!
Just the 10th batsman to score a double hundred and hundred in the same test

His resurgence of form is quite frankly outstanding.
Thrilled for him, I thought his career was all but over this time last year.
The boys should race towards a 400 lead as soon as possible and if they lose a wicket we should declare if the lead is over 350

18 off the over before tea.
Latham has quietly snuck to 80.
@canefan yeah they should get Philips to pad up to come in next for a swing.
Don't want to waste any time getting out there. I want to see us heaps the pressure on. 4 men at least in the slip cordon and a man close in front of the bat. Pour it on

Watching the comms, Bish is huge!
Him, Courtney and ( especially ) Curtley were a menacing bunch for sure.

Ask Ken Rutherford and Mike Gatting. They know 
. The golden era of WI quicks was a sight to see. Menacing is right
The top 4 averaging batsmen in tests so far in 2025… obviously if Latham and Conway are dismissed it will change
Henry Nicholls - 188.00
Rachin Ravindra - 105.75
Devon Conway - 99.57
Tom Latham - 81.20

Bishop had lots of injury issues but still had a brilliant career.
@MN5 said in West Indies tour of NZ:
Shit from Conway getting out right after the break and exposing KW late in the day.
They shouldn't be out there much longer. Should have sent a pinch hitter
