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

[Moss]

Also Inzi averaged 23 in ICC tournaments what the hell

He had an absolute shocker in 2003 and 2007 IIRC (as did most of Pakistan's senior players). The 2003 run led to him being axed in both formats. A century later in the year on being recalled, to save Pakistan's blushes in a one-wicket win in a test against Bangladesh rescued his career.

Rachin is my favourite batsmen to watch. Haven’t felt things like this since my first date.

 

[SeamUp]

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.

That's him. The surfer, skateboarder, fisherman from Phalaborwa. Which is such an oxymoron when you look where and what Phalaborwa is about. Crazy he even played cricket.

 

[SeamUp]

Was going to call for Markram. Might have to bowl a few.

 

[Athlai]

This looks like a good day to have a lot of quality spin overs in the bank

 

[Qlder]

122-1 @Qlder

And why is 122-1 a special number? Are we now going to see 133-1, 144-1 as some other special numbers...boring as

 

[King Kane]

Rachin taking down Maharaj now, Markram looking tougher to get away.

 

[Moss]

Lol Kane really battling to keep his ego in check against the spinners.

Markram in a nice tight spell so far.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

144-1 @Qlder

 

[anonymouskefe]

Finally Kane

 

[Daemon]

Very brave tactic taking on Maharaj. Paying off so far.

 

[Blakey]

Did I just see Williamson do Martin Crowe's '92 back foot out to leg as the bowler came in?

 

[Burgey]

This is really ominous for SA

 

[Darwin Award]

Partnership finally at exactly a run a ball.

Williamson starting to wake himself out of his slumber.

 

[Moss]

Far from the best we've seen KW play, but he's made things count so far. Credit for putting NZ in this position, for sure.

 

[King Kane]

Williamson bringing up his fifty with a lovely chip for two, I think he might have been trying to hit a four but he picked the wrong golf club.

 

[SeamUp]

We look so unthreatening it hurts

Thought Kesh was on to something but even if he slightly beats these 2 in the flight he went for 4, 6 and , a 6 in his last 2 overs.

Less brave at 170 for 1.

This is one of the very few times I've seen NZ show genuine intent against Maharaj. Pretty important subplot in this game.

Wait until SA are chasing it down and the rain comes...
