1st Semi Final - New Zealand v South Africa (24th March)

[Shri]

Well done Grant.

I don't think Tahir knows Elliott can't play spin. Doesn't have the look on his face like when a bowler knows he's bowling to a walking wicket.

 

[harsh.ag]

Duminy and Morkel should bowl now.

 

[Flem274*]

breathe, take your singles, use your 43

 

[vic_orthdox]

Jeeze, enough drama. Injuries, rain, run outs.

 

[Swingpanzee]

steyn off

 

[Flem274*]

such an elliott boundary

we're forcing ABCD to bowl tahir and morkel lots. good.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sami aswell. Basically if you bowl on average one bad ball an over you will struggle in test cricket even if you have skills in odi's there is actually more protection to cover for bad balls.

Not to mention that 1 bad ball an over regularly gets wickets too because batsmen are under pressure to put bad balls away and get too excited and tight trying to smash it away. Happens so often.

 

[viriya]

That shot would've looked so bad if he had missed the ball..

He didn't though.

 

[straw man]

This is a ****ing great match.

 

[Shri]

Steyn though proving once again that he is not as good in ODIs as he is in tests. Not going to be long before SA fans get an angrier face on than him when he comes on to bowl.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is a ****ing great match.

Yeah these little shifts in momentum is what makes for great cricket.

 

[Hurricane]

This pitch is doing just a bit.

 

[Adgey]

Haha, Elliot looking so dodgy

 

[Swingpanzee]

ripper

 

[anil1405]

Enough of Tahir for now. Would like to see him bowl later.

 

[harsh.ag]

Feels weird to say, but Saffers don't have the bowling to win this. Will have to rely on things like the Guppy run-out to win this.

And Morkel bowls a peach.

 

[Flem274*]

This is a ****ing great match.

it would be better if we bowled them out for 150

jesus cut in half

 

[cnerd123]

Well balanced IMO.

NZ can still win this.

 

[otagoman]

178/3 after 28 should be their target...leaving 120 of the final 90 balls

 

[vic_orthdox]

Elliott doesn't look "sustainable". Guess just hope he gets as many as he can before one has his name on it.
