25th Match - New Zealand v South Africa

[trundler]

Inside edge galore

 

[Burgey]

Remember how NZs 5th bowler being CDG and Neesham was this huge problem?

It's not a problem here, it is at Lord's or the Oval on a sunny day (lol, I know, a sunny day)

NZ been clever using the deck. Subtle variations doing enough that you can't hit through the line easily on it.

The flip side of that would be that those blokes with the bat should be able to smash some unlucky bugger on the other side out of the park in that scenario.

 

[trundler]

Batsmen having a hard timing it

 

[trundler]

CdG ends up with 1-33. Remarkable.

Yeah it's the same risk/ reward strategy Australia is using with Maxwell-Stoinis/ whoever.

I knew NZ @ 1.75 was being too generous to SA. Bookies can't accept that they're genuinely minnow tier at the moment

 

[trundler]

Ferguson has bowled some very well directed yorkers here

 

[aussie tragic]

So this is the ground Lara scored 501* SA need 300 at least

 

[StephenZA]

So ten overs left... time for Miller to go ballistic and SA can get to the 300+...

 

[Moss]

On to the last ten. KW holding back Henry quite a bit here. Will be a challenge for him to bowl to a set David Miller to say the least.

 

[MrPrez]

With Rabada, Tahir, and Ngidi in this match, we can possibly defend 270 here. Would be a tough one, but doable.

First you have to get there...

 

[StephenZA]

Dussen is really starting to worm his way into my heart....

 

[trundler]

That was a clean strike

 

[MrPrez]

First you have to get there...

That's my point. I think 270 should be our target because we could defend it.

Or perhaps 265 considering there will only be 49 overs.

 

[aussie tragic]

10 an over for last 7 will give SA 253

 

[srbhkshk]

If SA can get 70 of the last 7 they will still have a decent chance, we saw in the BD match that NZ batting can crumble under pressure.

 

[Athlai]

Saffa ain't even looking like they'll get 230
