***Official*** New Zealand in South Africa

Martin takes Smith. Every one has been talking about this being a flat track but given the swing on offer right now, conditions aren't exactly easy for batting.

Shane Bond is so good to watch. A spot on bouncer hitting Gibbs straight on the helmet. Next ball, yorker. Brilliant bowling so far from him.

"His economy rate is impressive though. 3.5 is good in Test cricket" FFS Danny Morrison, **** off and die.

Good start for New Zealand, Smith should never have played at that.

Good start for NZ, bowling too wide though and not really keeping the pressure on. We should be aiming for off-stump with Gibbs, who seems to get bowled quite a bit.

Poor Martin...he bowled really beautifully and deserved Kallis' wicket. M'thinks we'll regret those misses by the end of the day.

Oh and O'Brien is village. Franklin's absence already starting to tell.

Kallis dropped twice, to drop him once is a sin, but twice! NZ will be very fortunate if he doesn't make them seriously pay for those indiscretions. Papps should have held onto his chance at third slip, he'd done the hard bit by diving and getting both hands to the ball. O'Brien make a complete mess of his opportunity, the ball was in the air long enough for him to get a decent solid position, and he ended up falling back, consequently the ball bouncing out of his grasp!

Not Terrible
O'Brien looked like he was about to throw up after he dropped that, yet as he is sporting a mo, all is forgiven.

A promising start TBH, hopefully Kallis won't punish us, but we were the underdogs going into this so all's well so far.

Pommie is so gun.

Looking at hawk eye,

"And it goes on to hit... but thats inconsequential"

Telling it like it is.

It looked like Kallis was trying to get into the 20/20 team:laugh:

Well done to O'Brian who makes up for that terrible drop before lunch.

Bond is such a gun, gets Prince and SA are in a heap of trouble. Almost want NZ to win this as much as i want Australia to beat Sri Lanka.
