***Official***Match #32 - New Zealand vs South Africa - November 1st - Pune (D/N)

[Moss]

That completes an absolutely wretched trio of games for Latham as batsman and captain.

 

[MW1304]

How has Latham played 150 ODIs?

Does his VC status make him a lock in this side, or will he **** off once Kane returns from the dead?

 

[King Kane]

Keep walking Latham and catch the next plane home.

 

[Neil Young]

Time for Phillips to prove why I rate him so highly.

 

[Days of Grace]

I was sad after the Australia match now I am just fuming.

 

[Andyhere]

Tommy leading from the front!

I think we should bin him off after the WC.

 

[Owzat]

kiwis have to be playing for NRR, minimise damage, 8 rpo needed already and only 6 wickets left with a fairly ordinary 7-11 to come

saffers probably won't go all out for wickets, but reckon they should, would all but nail the door shut behind them on top four finish and maybe a wound licking kiwi side work in their favour anyway - keep the others out

 

[Days of Grace]

Latham can walk straight to the airport. Absolute spud. How’s the decision to bat first going, Tom???? Looks like we got the best batting conditions, eh?

 

[Andyhere]

Pak fans will be happy with this

 

[BazBall21]

Rabada v Latham...

 

[King Kane]

The ball still doing heaps under lights but I am sure that dew will make batting easier once we are about 7 wickets down with the tailenders in.

 

[Andyhere]

NZ is found wanting against top sides, lost to India, Aus and now SA.
They won against relatively easier teams.

I really don't think it's just on him. Stead and Williamson would have had a big input. Poor decision and looked it from the start.

SA have struggled against the tail enders... scored tons of runs against us.

 

[centurymaker]

Horrible performance from NZ. Bad all round. Bowling, catching, batting and (worst of all) decision making.

This could derail the whole campaign tbh.

New Zealand must try to minimise the margin of defeat. Aim for 250 as a bare minimum.

 

[Andyhere]

India seems to cause a lot of slides.

Pak was unbeaten until India destroyed them and then they lost 3 in a row (4 including loss to India).

NZ was unbeaten and India beat them, now this will be their 3rd loss in a row.

 

[Neil Young]

SA have struggled against the tail enders... scored tons of runs against us.

Ours will literally need to score tons.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Gerald Coetzee bowls some absolute dross at times , terribly wayward but so much raw potential..

He's gonna be a scary prospect when he marries his speed with consistency.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Flurry of boundaries here. The ball/s is not doing much at the moment. Bring in Keshav.
