Semi-Final #2- New Zealand v South Africa- Wednesday, March 5th- Lahore

[Moss]

NZ's weakness in the batting approach is not in going big early on, but strike rotation. Too many dot balls especially after a wicket falls, the one thing probably that separates Kohli and Kane as ODI batters.

 

[SeamUp]

Why does Rabada not open?

It feels relatively new tactic that he isn't opening in ODI cricket.

Remember Allan Donald not liking to take the new nut for a little while.

Ngidi can hit the seam and maybe it's a look see.

 

[Burgey]

Ngidi looks a good 5 or 6kgs down on when he toured here last.

 

[Bahseph]

Yeah he looked really off it for a while but there seems to have been some work done to get back into shape. Wonderfully skilled bowler but his fitness has always been an issue.

 

[King Kane]

Runs are harder to come by off Rabada, he is bowling a better length than Jansen who was bowling too short.

 

[Stefan9]

Why does Rabada not open?

Of the the three fast bowlers, the most suited to first change.

 

[Heboric]

Does his voice change?

It does rise a few notches and gets out of breath

 

[King Kane]

Smithy would get out of breath just walking up the steps to get into the commentary box.

 

[SeamUp]

Bavuma has been off the field a while now.

No idea why Corbinator is on before Stubbs.

 

[Moss]

Of the the three fast bowlers, the most suited to first change.

Not a bad guy at all to have in the middle overs .

 

[King Kane]

A maiden for Rabada, Williamson struggling to get him away and was lucky not to be caught at mid on.

 

[Sunil1z]

Travis Head and Rachin Ravindra are the 2 most important clutch batsmen at the moment.

 

[Moss]

Very Dravid-esque from Kane, so far in these last 2 games. Up for the challenge in tougher batting conditions, but otherwise getting tied down.

 

[King Kane]

I like Dale Steyn as a commentator, he's different to his on field persona where he seemed like a raging psycho, he's quite chilled as a commentator.

I've seen him get tied down early on his innings plenty of times before but he can up the run rate once he is in for a while, not too worried just yet.

Very different off the field loves his surfing and fishing

[anonymouskefe]

Oh geez he’s good

 

[Moss]

Played Rachin. Thankfully that injury at the start of the Pakistan tour seems to be banished.

 

[Stefan9]

Need to get Ravindra. This is becoming dangerous.

Keep it up Wonderkid
