Guys like Smith and Ingram should not be trying for a third on a ground like this.
Made the game interesting again though.

No, that is not an unbelievably good decision! That is a wild guess which turns out be just correct!

NZ's new strategy with Mills is to pick three bowlers (and three is being generous) so that they go at such a rate that it means there's no death overs for him to get hammered in.

NZ really need to be attacking right now. Don't think McCullum fits that role - he's a much more effective T20 bowler so keep him for the situation that most resembles that format.

Yep, and once again the bloke who goes for 1/11 off 6 overs at the start of the innings is being saved so he can be slaughtered at the death. Beyond ludicrous.

This is becoming a bit of a choke by SA.

Really only have themselves to blame with two stupid run outs.

At the end of the 30th NZ were at 13s. Thought it was overs seeing as the batting to come for SA was far from brilliant and chasing 5.5 an over meant it wasn't just a case of batting 50 and winning. NZ don't need to bowl SA out here.
If Miller walked out in the last 8 you'd think they might be able to chase anything but he's gotta do some of the hard work here first.

That was pretty atrocious from Ingram. He needed to stay in. Last over before the power play too. Just completely moronic.

Could not blame smith, perfect throw from Franklin. But Faf, wtf was that.

Still Behardien and Miller can stll win for us. They are good at finishing games for there franchises.

"Kyle Mills has 4 overs left. He is their senior bowler, and trusted to bowl at the end."

It's like Mills has one of those memory wipe things from Men in Black.

Miller has a chance here to get into the champions trophy squad, gosh this is frustrating. NZ looking good, building pressure, expecting a few chirps too.

Heh, this is setting up to be a car crash one way or another.

Either Mills getting spanked after some dobbers have choked SA, or SA choke themselves.

Heh another run out.

If you forget one over, Nathan Mc has had a great game, 19 (23) but more importantly batted from 42nd to 48th over, 2 run outs, spell of 9-0-39-1.

Bloody brilliant bowling and fielding by the NZ guys tonight. I just hope they'll not screw up everything in the last 5 overs.
