**Official** New Zealand in South Africa

Dougeh really can't bat time all that well. Felt pretty bad for him to be in that situation.

Congratulations Steyn.

Seems the only possible way to play Philander is to wildly throw the bat. Such a class act.

 

[Bahnz]

That was awesome to watch, even as a kiwi fan.

Neither, but I thought even without Taylor, Southee, Ryder and the other injured who may or may not have played, that we'd still show something better than this.

Still, it's not over. I mean, we're not going to win, but back in the day the bulk of our runs came from 6 and below, so some semblance of dignity may get reclaimed.

We have **** all batting ability in the tail these days tbh.

300! Congrats to Steyn, genuine modern great.

 

[Burgey]

I genuinely didn't and have found it damn hard to get motivated for this series. When an average to poor side like NZ loses arguably their 4 best Test players in Taylor, Ryder, Southee & Vettori against a rampaging no 1 side in the world in their own backyard, it was always going to be a non-contest.

Not sure why you had high hopes tbh, did you not see the side?

No I didn't, because the build up didn't really interest me, just when i saw it was on i hoped for some good cricket. My earlier question about Ross Taylor was a genuine one. I'd heard he had the captaincy drama, but I wasn't aware he was not playing at all.

Likewise, I knew Dan Vettori was out but wasn't aware about Ryder and Southee either.

And as I type Steyn brings up 300 with a pearler. Fine bowler.

I don't think they'll get 47, sadly.

 

[straw man]

Reckon you've been waiting to post that for days

Steyn WAG.

 

[Pothas]

Haha yes Dale.

 

[Daemon]

Steyn you legend. Phliander got 5 but Steyn's looked the most aesthetically pleasing.

 

[ajdude]

wellalbidarned

 

[Hurricane]

Well with PAtel at the other end - Flynn has now earned the right to be aggressive.

Hesson won't have a job at 9am tomorrow NZDT.

Glad I decided to wake up for this.

I know this was supposed to happen but didn't think it woul quite this dramatically.

I'm glad someone is enjoying this

 

[stumpski]

Will Steyn get the 300th wicket in this game?

There's your answer ... chances of the innings lasting until lunch seem pretty slim now.

 

[morgieb]

300 for Steyn, WAFG.

 

[NZTailender]

We have **** all batting ability these days tbh.

Indeed.

 

[NZTailender]

Flynn to finish 1*?

 

[Athlai]

Jeets! Positive intent!

 

[Flem274*]

Steyn is the second best fast bowler I've seen in my life after Glenn McGrath.

 

[Ghost]

Perhaps we should declare to avoid the ignominy on one of the lowest all out scores of all time

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Reckon you've been waiting to post that for days

Steyn WAG.

Nah, if that was the case I would have photoshopped Steyns face on.


Damn, I wish I had.
