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

[Silver Arrow]

Amla gone, caught by Papps from the bowling of O'Brien

312/5

 

[sportychic33]

papps took a pretty smart catch to dismiss Amla off O'Brien's bowling.

 

[NZTailender]

IOB's average under 100 now. I wonder if he'll sleep easier?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I am struggling to put together a more mediocre combination.

Needless. Papps deserves to be there, O'Brien... maybe - maybe not. I tell you who doesn't deserve to be there - BRACEWELL.

Some great commentary from (I think) Neil Johnson."The Score - 31... sorry 312 for 2... sorry... for five"

 

[sportychic33]

NZ need to swiftly whip through the tail here, and give the bowlers a decent rest with Vettori having a bung knee and Martin with a Virus. Though you have to ask what the heck have they been eating as this must be the 5th person to go down with illness.

Last night IOB's face book said that "Iain O'Brien is arse". At least he knows himself, bracewell probably thinks he is fantastic

Shrimp Curry is the usual culprit for dodgy guts on a cricket tour I believe.

I know Amla has been in good form, but has there been a more worse combination of dismissal in a Test (excluding Zim & Bang) then this one?

HM Amla c Papps b O'Brien 103

Outside of Zim and Bang, I can't be sure.

woot. . boucher gone, lack of feet movement. bowled Gillespie.

 

[NZTailender]

Gillespieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[NZTailender]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad to see Martin back.

 

[sportychic33]

yep. hope he's going to power thru the illness.

 

[sportychic33]

what a catch by mccullum 7 down. wow the SA tail will have to put their pads on for a change.

 

[NZTailender]

Hahaha Gillespie, you beauty! Gets AB.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Seems the NZ bowlers are doing their job again. Can the batting order turn up 2nd time around. Will Cumming bat??

(irony)

I see Danny Vettori has bowled three no balls in this innings. This is TOTALLY unacceptable.

 

[sportychic33]

lets start firing the short stuff in at Nels head.

 

[Fiery]

This turning into a damn good session for NZ

 

[sportychic33]

Gillespie picks up a five-fer on debut. Yipeee.

 

[pasag]

Lol, Gillespie gets 5. If NZ bat well....


Nah.
