***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

[Neil Young]

Welcome back Guppy. You've veen missed.

The truth.

Poor from SA. Should have bowled Rabada and Parnell until 10th over to try to put more pressure.

Its unfortunately become a norm these days to give bowlers short bursts instead of a good 5 or 6 over spell. And to give Duminy the ball before Pretorius and Tahir is definitely not the right way to go about it.

 

[BeeGee]

Why isn't de kock standing up to the stumps to Pretorius with Guptill so far out of his crease?

Edit: finally.

Pretorius is bowling heat, obvs.

 

[BeeGee]

Pretorius is bowling heat, obvs.

Yes, you can actually hear the air being torn when he howitzers one down.

It's kind of crazy how bad Southee's been post the England game in the World Cup. You'd think he'd be able to fluke a few wickets here and there.

[wellAlbidarned]

fmd guptill is looking good

It's freaky that he can look this good after coming in cold from an injury break.

 

[veganbob]

Guptill is Quite easily the best one day player we have ever produced

 

[BeeGee]

Top knock. Good to have him back.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

he's like that ex who you you shag at a party and have a great time with but you just know if you get back together it's gonna turn bad quickly

 

[straw man]

Guptill has been so good since he was permanently dropped from the test side.

 

[hendrix]

Not really Guptill's sorta pitch. We're ****ed.

Cheers Bahnzy

Well yeah, shagging for five days is a bit excessive.

 

[Moss]

Well that is a scarily good innings. Pretty much carried NZ so far.

Injury time off clearly does wonders, he's been on a totally different plane from his teammates. Almost makes me want him back in the tes...nah lets not go there.

 

[Athlai]

Guptill back in the Test team before this summer ends

We should give him a go at 5 in the test team. Discuss.

This is why we can't have nice things

 

[StephenZA]

Excellent from Guptill... has probably won this ODI for NZ.

Agree. He did ok at 5 when he played there against Australia in 2010. Rather than trying to get him to be like Warner, it might be better to see him as an Astle type player who can open in ODI's, but not tests.
