Mills performed fantastically well on the first day of the test, filling in for Bond more than admirably. However, seeing the carnage caused by Ntini on the second day makes me wonder just how dangerous Bond might have been with the variable bounce of this pitch.
Mills has another chance to show his worth in our second innings. The South Africans are confident they are building a defendable total and it will probably take most of our line up to reach the target. I feel that Mills has unrealised potential as a lower order batsman and any contribution he makes may be critical.

It was great to see Jacob Oram fit straight back in and perform the role he, Dan Vettori and Brendon McCullum had established for themselves - saving our top order from embarassing the whole team! I must do some analysis on the partnerships between Oram and Vettori - they seem to have some big ones now.
