25th Match - New Zealand v South Africa

[BoyBrumby]

It's not often I root for the Yarps over NZ, but it'd be great for the tournament if they got up here.

Skipping through the fields of the bleedin' obvious here, but Williamson the key. Beautiful straight drive there. Classy in any format.

 

[Borges]

Something so satisfying about the quiet awesomeness of Kane Williamson.

Yes. Quiet awesomeness, indeed!

 

[StephenZA]

I truly love Williamson, but just want to see him walking towards the pavilion now....

I think by this point even Dhawan is better than Ganguly.

Dhawan still has some way to go IMO, but he should get there eventually..

I dont really know why Doull was talking about it in the first place in a NZ vs SA game, but he basically said Rohit was better than Sachin as an ODI opener.

Dude needs a standardized averages crash course smh

Rohit's standardized average is probably better than Sachin, Sachin would leave him in the dust in terms of SR though.

 

[Groundking]

NZ losing here would do wonders for the world cup.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Just a reminder that NZ have lost 3 wickets for 33 runs since this post

Yeah, they're going to cruise home here. SA are done

Yeah I looked at Rohit's stats as opener and they're pretty spectacular (especially at No. 2!).

Gonna take a lot as a Sachin fanboy for me to put anyone above him though. Maybe 10 more years of Rohit maintaining this level and I might consider it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

KW's had a bit of luck today hasnt h? Couldve easily played on a couple of times.

Nah, wouldn't be above Sachin even if he maintained this for 10 more years imo. do it for 40 years and I might start thinking of it.

 

[Meridio]

KW normally so fluent when he gets to 40 odd, and barely faces a dot ball - but he's slowed up quite a lot here, keeps picking out fielders.

 

[Moss]

Good shot Neesham. Just reminding us he can hit down the ground well too.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oooo. Top nut. Think the bounce has done for him.

 

[Tec15]

Atrocious from Andile. Just releasing pressure with absolutely ****** bowling. And he still has four to go...

Wait, Morris has just taken one, so maybe it won't matter.

 

[Moss]

Good shot Neesham. Just reminding us he can hit down the ground well too.

Also reminding us he can get out to a stupid shot every now and then.

Good captaincy Faf to have the slip in, South Africa really want this.

 

[vcs]

Good time to take a wicket. Slip in place as well, nice captaincy and a good catch.

 

[SeamUp]

Morry-boy. Serious impact cricketer when his head is screwed on right.

 

[Howsie]

Just bring Tahir back now, he’ll clean up de Grandhomme in a couple of balls.

I see my prediction of Munro doing **** all came through, modern day Nostradamus I am.....

 

[trundler]

WTF lol

 

[trundler]

I was wrong about SA surrendering. This is intense.
