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

[Francis]

Bwahahahahaha! Your right, they are soo lame!

Tell me another!

McCullum will get a 100. It's going to happen. Just wait and see. Franklin will finally fulfill his potential with the bat at Test level and play more attacking shots.

Nice little innings from McCullum developing here

 

[Blaze]

Were you two trying to jinx him...

 

[Smudge]

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.

And what this comment has to do with the point raised, I have no idea.

The game is in South Africa and is (mainly) being commentated by South Africans (aside from Rigor and maybe one other?).

Try reading the post properly.

 

[Francis]

Try calming down - I meant the few Kiwi commentators, not the Saffie commentators...

 

[Smudge]

Try something other than your rent-a-quote Kiwi-bashing.

 

[Ming]

Why they hire Richardson? He ranks along with Adam P and Danny Morrison as one of the worst ever NZ commentators. Jeez, should have gone with Smith or Coney even...

My work here is done.

I think the difference between eddie and Francis is that eddie is actually entertaining / amusing. Francis is just same-old-same-old. Personally, I don't really mind either, though. People lambast people/teams all the time, and there are far worse than Francis out there.

 

[Francis]

Thanks Loony Bob. Your an example for Voltman.

 

[aussie]

watching this game for the last 15-20 minutes and Steyn has gotten pretty wild of late, he mixes some top deliveries at pace with some real crap.

Careful...

You'll have the My Little Pony wing of the New Zealand Popular Front after you

In other news, great to see the Kiwis taking the game to the opposition. First innings lead, anyone?

Wouldn't say for sure yet, but great fight shown by Vettori and Oram

 

[shaka]

nice 10th international test 50 for Vettori, too bad cricinfo havent acknowledged it yet.

 

[Blaze]

I can't believe how long it has taken SA to bowl round the wicket to Vettori.

 

[jot1]

South Africa can't bowl out tailenders!

I don't think Oram and Vettori are quite tailenders.

 

[Loony BoB]

Neither are, not by a long way. Vettori is as much a tailender as Pollock is. Oram (obviously) even better.

The South African commentators on Sky Sports for the UK have quoted so many incorrect stats. It's kind of sad. Speaking of centuries "Oram has one - er, two - and Vettori has one." ...Vettori has two too, mate.
