Lol! I doubt that. This second string South African side is filled with newbies who are getting bullied by the Kiwis on their turf which is what everyone expected. Am expecting a similar result in the second test too.

This is what happens when you don't pay enough attention to your team's outlook in the test format.

Most of the boards doesn't care about test cricket. It is the ICC which forces them to play in this format. This is why I want to cut down the number of test matches. Only the pig-4 can afford to have separate teams for test and limited overs format. Smaller boards doesn't have this luxury and scheduling test matches can be financially draining for them. 3-4 matches per year sounds good for teams like South Africa. Anything more is like an unnecessary burden. Actually I am glad that South Africa sent an amateur squad. At least now the ICC will notice.

There is one more Test match between these two teams which will be played on February 13. Maybe the South African team players are looking forward to this match, they might give their best performance in this match.

New Zealand vs South Africa, 1st Test was finished and New Zealand won. New Zealand played extra ordinary in 1st inning where Rachin Ravindra and qKane Williamson showed their unbelievable performance by collecting 511 runs. That's why they hadn't needed to play more in 2nd innings. They just played 2nd inning till Kane Williamson made his century. Which was help them to won by 281 runs which is too many runs. RSA might be in pressure when they saw hugh boundaries by New Zealand and that's why RSA top batsman lost their wicket early in both innings. Nobody did even half century in first match. David Bedingham did 87 runs alone in 2nd wickets but rest of playes were gone for low run. If they could play with patient then maybe winning run different will be less.

Against South Africa, New Zealand batted a mountain of runs in the first innings and the New Zealand batsmen are proceeding in the same way in the second innings.Rply to New Zealand's 511 in the first innings, South Africa managed to score only 116 in their first innings, 116 runs against 511 runs was nothing for South Africa. After South Africa were all out in the first innings very quickly, New Zealand are batting again in their second innings where they have so far collected 179 runs for 5 wickets. If New Zealand had invited South Africa to bat again in the second innings, New Zealand would have had a great chance of winning this match by an innings gap, but New Zealand did not do that and they went into bat again in the second innings. With the way New Zealand is batting, they can win by 500+ runs against South Africa

Yes New Zealand has been doing really well in the match against South Africa. They scored a lot of runs in their first innings 511 runs which gave them a strong advantage. South Africa on the other hand they didn't played well they only managed 116 runs in their first innings. And at this time South Africa has lost 4 wickets and made only 95 runs. They need 434 runs to win. Which is a quite high target. i don't think so the South Africa will win this match.

The match of New Zealand vs South Africa was finished and of course, the result will come in the favour of New Zealand as they played.

New Zealand won this match by 281 runs and after this victory, the New Zealand team came again to the list of World Test Championship and now I hope that they will maintain it, and th team of New Zealand can only win the Test Championship and once a time champions trophy because on 2000 they won a Champions trophy and on 2021 they won test championship against India but they didn't have any ODI World Cup or any T20 World Cup, and they always come in final or semi-final of T20 and ODI World Cup.

New Zealand declared the innings with 511 runs in the first innings and 179 runs in the second innings, setting a big target for South Africa, but South Africa managed to score only 247 runs in the second innings, which saw South Africa lose to New Zealand by a huge margin of 281 runs. South Africa could not score as many runs as New Zealand's first innings in their 2 innings. New Zealand's performance in this test match was as good as South Africa's performance. The first match of the three-match series was a draw and the second match was won by a big margin as New Zealand now only awaits the result of the third match. The result of the third match will decide which team will win the series or draw the series.

Rachin Ravindra was the best in whole match. Who made 240 runs in the first inning. Kane Williamson is on the second number who made 118 runs. And New Zealand collected 511 runs in the first inning. But here from South Africa Neil Brand collected 6 wickets which I think it is good achievement. After that South Africa made only 162 runs.
In the second inning New Zealand declared at 179 runs. And here Kane Williamson again made century made 109 runs. But in the second inning South Africa made only 247 runs and New Zealand won by 281 runs. Excellent played New Zealand Congratulations on winning.

South Africa team now comes to the field to bat 2nd Innings. 223 runs in 75.3 overs so far. South Africa team still needs 306 runs. But now South Africa team is under pressure with 8 wickets lost. I think in this 1st Test match New New Zealand team will win. Bowling line and batting line of New Zealand team is very strong for which New Zealand team will win this match.

New Zealand team has already won the first test match between South Africa and New Zealand. New Zealand players were very good in this test match and showed best batting and bowling performance as a result of which they defeated South Africa in this test match by huge margin. If you find the reason of South Africa team defeat then you will see all their players are inexperienced maybe because of experience South Africa team lost this match against New Zealand.

New Zealand scored 511 runs in the first innings and they declared for 179 runs in the second innings. As a result the target for the South African team is 528 runs. Batting for a target of 528 in the first Test match South Africa were bowled out for 247 runs in their second innings resulting in South Africa losing the match by 281 runs.

There is one more Test match between these two teams which will be played on February 13. Maybe the South African team players are looking forward to this match, they might give their best performance in this match.

The New Zealand team is going for a very easy win. South Africa lost 9 wickets to collect 223 runs. Now South Africa collect 238 runs, the team needs 291 more runs to win.

Kane Williamson scored centuries in both innings. Although Rachin Ravindra did not play well in the second innings, he scored 240 runs in the first innings. As the pitch was batting friendly, I thought this match would take 5 days to finish. But due to South Africa's bad batting, the match is going to end in four days. Jemieson, Santner and Henry all bowled well enough.

^^ Good for Kiwis and Williamson though.

Kane mama just pounding on this opportunity and minting back to back tons for fun and Rachin also won't mind some inexperience in the opposition's bowling camp as he wants to cement his position in the team so when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Grin

These guys are doing the same.

True. This is just a warm-up match for them which will help them in future tests and they are squeezing the juice out of those lemons aggressively.

After the end of day three, New Zealand has already taken enough lead to win the match. The chance is almost zero for South Africa to win the match now.

I guess they already know that they will win by now though they aren't declaring yet because this is excellent training for many of their players which is why they are taking their sweet time.

And there is a very big chance that they will have to play a follow on innings. And that is definitely going to be a little frustrating for South Africa in my opinion. But of course they have the capability to make a comeback. first thing they will have to do is survive the first session of the next day.

New Zealand has batted their second innings instead of applying the follow on rules on South Africa. I think it would have been better for them to send South Africa to bat their second innings. After the end of day three, New Zealand has already taken enough lead to win the match. The chance is almost zero for South Africa to win the match now.

This is going to be one of the most lop-sided matches in the history of test cricket. I don't understand the point in sending a squad where majority of the players will be making their test debut. Even teams like Ireland or Netherlands would have performed better than this. At this point, New Zealand has a massive lead of 528 runs. I don't know why they are not declaring yet. Perhaps they want the batsmen to improve their career stats. South African bowlers performed slightly better in the second innings, with Neil Brand being once again the best performer.

Agreed. Everyone expected the Kiwis to decimate the South Africans, but it's still disappointing to see such a boring, one-sided match. Ravindra has been phenomenal as usual while Williamson is on a crazy century streak currently.

These kind of matches are making viewers lose interest in tests with time frankly speaking.

The reason for such a miserable condition of the South African team is that they are playing with very inexperienced and new players in this Test series against New Zealand. None of the players in South Africa's squad have played more than 10 Test matches. New Zealand is full of experienced team and best players are playing in New Zealand team against inexperienced South Africa team. For which this match between South Africa and New Zealand has become one-sided. But one thing is surprising that New Zealand is still leading by 528 runs still why they don't declare innings or they give their players an extra chance to score runs.

New Zealand are in mood of improving there batting stats that's why the opted to bat and were still batting on day 3 stumps. Kane Williamson got centuries in both innings and New Zealand now have an extensive lead of 528 runs. Still we have 2 days of play left and there is not much chance of South Africa surviving this game, they already gave New Zealand a lead of 349 runs in first innings.
Poor show of batting from South Africa in first inning. They should have scored 300 runs in first innings to remain in the game. 45 runs from Keegan Petersen was highest innings from South Africa in first innings.

I don't know why the New Zealand captain decided to bat again. They should have given South Africa batting opportunities again. South Africa mustered only 162 runs in their first innings. They were trailing by a huge margin of 349 runs. And I think the South African batsmen would not have scored 349 even if they were given another chance to bat. New Zealand could have won by an innings.

New Zealand is not able to bat as well as the first innings in their second innings. Williamson and Ravindra batted brilliantly in the first innings. Although Williamson scored a century in the second innings, Ravindra was dismissed for just 12 runs.
