***Official*** New Zealand in South Africa

[Blaze]

I agree with you entirely. In fact I said it a while ago, Kiwi commentators are the worst. When you watch NZ play it's boring and a big part of that has to do with bad commentators.

You hate everything NZ though... so your opinion on NZ hardly means much.

I agree with Zinzan and I was fearful of it - South Africa are showing us just how good this pitch is for bowling, especially with the new ball.

 

[Blaze]

What a catch!!!!

This really is our own fault. Pick openers to open, it's simple.

 

[oz_fan]

Styris out.
Ntini is the most lethal bowler in world cricket at the moment.

 

[oz_fan]

Pollock strikes straight away. His going to do well on this pitch. NZ 38/4

 

[Grubb]

Bad luck Fleming, but what else would you expect? Sawn off in his 100th! Typical Kiwi result, dammit. Remember in Australia '00-'01. He'll have to rise again on the third day at the rate we're losing wickets.

 

[Zinzan]

I predict 149 all out

 

[Blaze]

So that's the Test match ladies and gentlemen. This has been ordinary batting and great bowling. The result is therefore predictable.

 

[Francis]

C'Mon Saffies, get 'em out so you can make them follow on!

 

[Blaze]

I predict 149 all out

I hope we can get that many

He'll have to rise again this afternoon, at the rate we're losing wickets.

Only 22 to go for follow on

Make that 18 as McCullum plays a beautiful french cut for four.

 

[Francis]

Shush it you! It can still happen.

 

[Blaze]

Shush it you! It can still happen.

6 to go

Edit 2 to go

 

[JASON]

By the way Who was the Umpire involved in the C&b decision of Fleming ? (Am at work ATM and not seeing it live )

If it was Harper , I am not surprised !!

 

[Zinzan]

I hope we can get that many

I still think my 149 prediction is lookin good ...Obviously I hope for more

Mistaken identity, surely?

You usually accuse me of 'hating everything New Zealandese'.

Incidentally, on an entirely unrelated subject, the Cricinfo headline when the Kiwis were 49-5 or so was 'New Zealand crumble'.

I was disappointed when I discovered that it wasn't a recipe of an innovative way of baking sheep to serve with custard.

actually credit where due, thats not a bad one Eddie

 

[Francis]

Yeah nobody "gets" the whole "Francis hates Kiwis" except the Kiwis.

I just like SA is all.

I don't know why they have a vendetta against me Eddie... I just don't.

I'm taking the family out for lunch today and I'm going to have roast lamb.

In some eyes, that makes me a child-killer.
