Need Tahir on strike obviously.

Vettori is going to get 2/40 here and make his figures look good.

Please go away Morkel.

Great runs these

Now you're catching on!

 

[Zinzan]

Gifting a big lead after having them 88/6 ffs

I'll take a 60 run deficit any day of the week after NZ was 133/7 yesterday. I was thinking of an innings victory for SA at that point.

The NZ lower order batsmen did a similar thing to a lesser extent yesterday going from 133/7 to 185.

lolo..bingo

Still no excuse for the bowlers though. Too much Arnel and Vettori to release pressure/do nothing.

 

[Mike5181]

Tahir must be livid. Give me the run you tall ****!

 

[Flem274*]

Bowl. Martin. Please.

60 run lead when 133/2 after first innings is definitely something I'd have taken..

Well exactly........two can play at that game.

 

[Flem274*]

This partnership will decide the match imo. It's been pretty even up until this tail wag.

 

[thierry henry]

157+ for the last 4 wickets is pretty criminal in the context of the game tbh

 

[thierry henry]

wtf is this from Gillespie

 

[Flem274*]

Both sides of Gillespie on show today.

 

[Blakey]

So with SA to bat last and the kiwis about to enjoy probably the best of the batting conditions, they must be red hot favouriters. The SA bowlers haven't had much of a rest.

Mega YAWN!!! Spaz.

Saffer bowlers won't be needing a rest, they weren't even in the field a full day.

Doubt it. Think the deciding factor will be losing 5 wickets for ZERO runs. I'd expect to see that in a weird game of college cricket not a professional game.

 

[_Ed_]

More epic partnerships in the tail after we'd done so well against the recognised batsmen. This would be infuriating if it wasn't so typical. Glenn McGrath scored a 50 against us FFS.

Well that as well tbf

Vettori to reinvent himself as an opening batsman/allrounder. So loony it might just work.

 

[Flem274*]

Why is Arnel bowling?
