**Official** New Zealand in South Africa

Guess it's part of the grooming process for ABCDeV to take over the test captaincy when the tubby lardster finally succumbs to that fatal diarrhea blow-back.

Yeah assumed that would be the case, but succession plans are for pussies.

Btw, what's with the sig? Quoting parody twitter accounts now? Is there a level you won't stoop to? Expecting a Dickinson quote next.

Really loving being able to watch this with sound effects but no commentary. Wish there was an option to switch the commentary off all the time.

Yes! Was just going to post the same.

It's a lot more peaceful. There's no Mike Haysman in your ear constantly pissing you off.

Ha, was quoted in yesterday's Independent as being from the great man himself. Thought it was definitely in his idiom too.

Don't even have a Twatter account, ftr.

Yeah it was quoted in a paper here too, it's a parody account though.

SA seems to be a bit all over the place in ODIs. Nowhere near as convincing as in tests.

Poor batting display despite being sent in on a pitch which offered assistance to the bowlers.

 

[Prensel]

Loving the reception.

I blame the reselection of failures time and again.

Smith should not play this form while Ingram has never been up to it.

 

[Jono]

Wtf is the score? Can't follow with all these power failures

 

[Prensel]

Poor BcCullum couldn't review due to lack of power at the ground

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Haha. McCullum out LBW. Wanted to review, but no power at the stadium.

 

[Zinzan]

17.1


Kleinveldt to BB McCullum, OUT, McCullum is gone lbw, Kleinveldt strikes, that was a good length delivery that swerved back in, struck on the back foot, McCullum spoke to the umpire about a review, but it seems that the lack of power at the ground means all the tools of the referral system can't be used, McCullum will have to walk off, this is bizarre scenes from Boland Park, doesn't reflect too well on the organisation

Feck knows. We're getting highlights of the SA innings here.

Kiwis cruising along 3/73. Should be no problems in getting this modest total. Embarrassing performance by SA with the bat on a smallish ground. Amazed that Miller doesn't get a go. Morkel doesn't get a go. Weird team. Then again NZ's team on paper looks very poor as well.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

They should have got another power point installed at the ground, instead of just the one with 27 multi-plugs on it.

 

[Jono]

That is a disgrace!

No that's not the score apparently

Paarl should never get an international game again after that. SA cricket should also cop a massive fine for that and the East London blackout. It might be a struggling third world country but it has to have contingency plans in place.
