This might be the most number of hundreds scored in a 3 day period.

Gumbie blown away again. I don't think he is in a position to play a test match next week.

It is somewhat concerning that, amidst all the runs being scored, 3 of the batting options in the test squad are averaging <30 this year (Gumbie, Campbell and Kaitano).

Another century from Wes as well, clearly he's learning, taken a while, but he's making up for lost time.

A century from Maru as well. I was watching the other game so didn't see them bat.

The white boys vying for spots are putting these guys under pressure and they're responding well.
Touched on a good point. Now he’s had the red carpet pulled from under him, he’s learnt to start working hard. Getting better results.
That’s what ZC have done by mistake. Rolling out the red carpet for talented black kids, removing all incentive to push themselves to their limit, maybe why they have a history of peaking at 20. It’s a disservice to their career.

Wez on fire comparatively this season. Third ton. (Two consecutive tons? Can’t remember what he got last round.) Maybe he has sorted his life out. ZC in their infinite wisdom pick him in the white ball squad when he’s been making runs in the Logan cup :lol: :lol:

Tanu M and WF have pulled an innings defeat out of the fire here. Incredible partnership.

Head an shoulders the best seamer in this game. Looks like he's come of age in the in last couple of LC games. Great to see.

I always rated Falao in that under 19's CWC. Looked like he had a bit about him, but his performances in that emerging series was awful. He looked a world away from being an international cricketer. Looks like he's improved massively over the last 6 months
