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

[Flametree]

Yeah he'll definitely be playing, the batting lineup isn't that far from full strength (just Markram, de Zorzi and Verreyne as keeper to come back in) and he debuted with everyone available right before this series anyway.

er, Bavuma?

 

[Prince EWS]

er, Bavuma?

Haha yes also Bavuma.

Did you forget to @SillyCowCorner1 for numberwang?

Good wang

 

[King Kane]

This is shaping up to be a cracking test of NZ's ability to hold it's nerve. If NZ can keep the target to circa 300, that notionally shouldn't be that difficult against this SA attack on what still looks a fairly placid wicket. Having said that, the same was true in the first innings and look how that turned out.

Full props to Bedingham. The guy's been head and shoulders above the rest of the side all series. Any chance he gets a regular gig following this series?

If he can't get a regular gig in SA's full strength test side I wouldn't mind him moving to NZ and playing for us but he will surely be picked for them now

HUGE!

O'Rourke 3/33 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Great knock Bedingham, has given SA a chance.

 

[Skyliner]

Surely the BC’s won’t take on Aus with a couple of toothless aging bowlers and leave O’Rourke out.

 

[King Kane]

O'Rourke getting the big wicket of Bedingham, he is having a great test debut.

 

[Meridio]

Great stuff O'Rourke, has looked our most dangerous bowler this test. Don't know why it's taken so long to bring him back for a spell. Game right back in the balance now.

Superb knock from Bedingham, looks a good player and will surely keep his place in the team for SA's next test.

Screaming for Will to get five

I'll take this opportunity to introduce you to Gary Stead and his merry band of selection men.

 

[SeamUp]

**** sakes. Needed another 50 more to feel we can get away with some poor bowling in-between a decent bowling performance.

Windies tour batting for me. 1 of Hermann/Breetzke could go or both next in line after Stubbs.

De Zorzi/Hermann
Markram
Bavuma/Breetzke
Bedingham
Rickelton
Verreynne/Stubbs
Jansen/Mulder

 

[SeamUp]

SvB thinks he can run after after every good shot he hits

+1 chicken

 

[Neil Young]

+1 chicken

Yeah, that one from Moana. Most sensible voice on the selection panel.

Phillips turning the match NZ's way here.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

This is some really averaging batting, hopefully it's the last we've seen of a lot of them.

Phillips turning the match NZ's way here.

Yeah he's bowled superbly all day

 

[Meridio]

Von Berg really is the guy in every club 3s team who opens the batting and looks horrendous but has a good eye and somehow makes runs every week
