*Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

[straw man]

Classic Southee review

 

[ashley bach]

Selfish ****

Can't take a wicket and also wastes a review.

 

[Flem274*]

This is a terrible review

 

[Mike5181]

That's shockingly bad from Southee

 

[ataraxia]

Really jagged that one back ey Tim

 

[Gnske]

Tim was prepared to lose to win

 

[straw man]

Is Southee the worst bowling reviewer in world cricket since DRS was introduced? I can't think of anyone else that has excelled to such a degree for so long.

 

[Gnske]

Southee 0-54 (20)

 

[James]

Yet another reminder why I need to use Cricbuzz or whatever Pakpassion endorses

They do:

 

[Flem274*]

Strong "hagley second test and we forgot to play a full time spinner" vibes.

Was pointless bringing Young in considering moving everyone up one would still have meant a strong enough middle /lower order with Phillips at 5, Blundell 6 & Santa@ 7

 

[Flem274*]

Ooh no

Nah happy to bring in batsman for a batsman. Cannot take SA C lightly given a random C team put us in the WTC final.

I don't think Wagner needed a farewell test though tbf he has bowled respectably.

Lol just saw the Hamza wicket.

 

[ashley bach]

Ooh no

 

[Gnske]

Southee's weak captaincy costs another opportunity. SAD

 

[Athlai]

New Zealand bowlers series to date wickets & SRs leading in to the much tougher Australian series....

Such a shame Stead & the selectors won't have the kahunas to name Latham skipper & drop Southee.

This analysis implies Rachin is our best bowler

 

[straw man]

De Swardt was good, big opportunity for him tomorrow.

Agree with the comms that 21 overs for Rachin was huge for day 1. And odd they didn't give Phillips 5 or so of those, as well as Rachin bowled.

 

[Nintendo]

You really could have given phillips some overs at the back end to de swardt, given he's a left hander.

Yeah not sure why phillips doesnt get to bowl ahead of Ravindra seeing as he was chosen over him in Bangladesh bowled well comes back to nz and suddenly is playing as more of a batsman than an all rounder

 

[StephenZA]

De Swardt was good, big opportunity for him tomorrow.

De Swart is the only player so far that has really shown something this tour. And that is good for SA who have been looking for an allrounder. And importantly he is also a good age. So that's something.
