***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2012

Disagree, we're going to collapse like this whether we've got the extra batsman or not. Rather take the bowling firepower.

I think the whole 6 batsman vs 5 batsman thing - only matters if we have 6 test standard batsman in the country.

Exactly.

 

[Briony]

Taylor's still searching for his first half ton against SA.

 

[sunilreddy]

New Zealand are the only team to lose five wickets for no runs in Test cricket, and they've done it three times!!!

 

[Blakey]

Here's a top idea. Our top sorry, 'top' order batsman get out for **** all and let Steyn beat the **** out of our new fast bowler.

Will Gillespie come out to bowl? May have just broken his forearm. NZ you are so ****.

 

[kingkallis]

Steyn clocked 152...

 

[Zinzan]

lol, Steyn didn't show any interest whether Gillespie was okay there.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeah, not totally seeing proof of this "Steyn is one of the nicest guys in the SA team" thing. I've got no problem with bowlers being angry ****s (or "competitors" as commentators love to say), but you still check if they're alright when you hit someone.

 

[Zinzan]

A team losing 5 wickets for none must be some sort of record.

Very confident Philander will be classified an ATG by the time his career is done.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Uh, just realised Gillespie is back at Seddon Park!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Very confident Philander will be classified an ATG by the time his career is done.

By which authority?

Your mums

 

[Flametree]

May need to improve his bowling to slogging tailenders though...

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Gillespie loves Seddon Park. A debut hundred on the cards here.

 

[BeeGee]

I think the whole 6 batsman vs 5 batsman thing - only matters if we have 6 test standard batsman in the country.

We don't even have 5, so it really is a case of shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Your mums

My mum thinks Murphy Su'a is an ATG, tbh.

 

[Zinzan]

lol @ Barry saying the Gillespie cut was taken from leg stump when the replay showed it about a foot outside off.

 

[Spikey]

this was all just a plan to get Gillespie in




why they didn't just move him up the order is unclear

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Look-away hook for SIX!
