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

[Bahnz]

Cracking shot from Arnel.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Shot of the day from Arnel the previous four.

Lead of 100. Doubt it'll be much more.

 

[Bahnz]

10 for Philander. Brilliant.

 

[_Ed_]

And that's it. Hope we can take three or four wickets and at least make it respectable.

 

[kingkallis]

5 5fers and 2 Tenfer in 6 test games for Philander. 45 wickets @ 13.60

Now I believe Lohmann did exist!

 

[Briony]

Kiwis did well in some ways to get a lead of 100.

Martin is great for taking wickets but NZ is batting one short every innings.

Philander is good.

 

[Polo23]

Can Martin swing the bat?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Has Philander been reversing the ball? Can he reverse the ball?

 

[Bahnz]

Martin is great for taking wickets but NZ is batting one short every innings.

Philander is good.

Number 8 averages 6, and our number 10 averages 5.5. Chuck Nicol into the mix and I'd say we're batting a few more than one short every innings.

 

[Bahnz]

Has Philander been reversing the ball? Can he reverse the ball?

Yep, both ways.

Did well? You're a joker Briony - sometimes I take you seriously

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Bloody hell!!

Takes most bowlers at least some time before they learn how to reverse but he's already doing it. Plus with amazing new ball skills he is a dream swing bowler.

Load up the rotten tomatoes for when the batsmen leave the ground at tea.

 

[Spark]

One day Philander will stop taking wickets for fun.

One day.

 

[Flem274*]

SA to win by eight wickets.

 

[Zinzan]

It wasn't that all that long ago that NZ actually had a good lower order. Look at this one for example... 1st Test: Bangladesh v New Zealand at Dhaka, Oct 19-22, 2004 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[Bahnz]

Load up the rotten tomatoes for when the batsmen leave the ground at tea.

Well, there are only three of them, so you won't need that many.

 

[Zinzan]

Does Smith ever miss when he plays across the line to ever ball he faces?

 

[Flem274*]

Well, there are only three of them, so you won't need that many.

Good point.

We'll target the fill ins as well then.

 

[Bahnz]

That was a cracker. Well done dougeh.
