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

[Fiery]

I'm glad Vettori has put Mills in ahead of himself. He's a far better hitter

 

[Fiery]

Good over. Need to get to 240 somehow

 

[Prince EWS]

Sincas in. So excited for him. 80* IMO.

64 not out as we speak with just over 2 overs to go. Prediction looking good.

Yep. 68 though

73 run out in the last over. Close enough.

Why didn't they cross though? They had plenty of time in the end.

 

[Fiery]

238. Not too bad. Should be close. Better hit the scratcher

Sinclair has just cemented the number 6 spot. Could well be the next Bevan.

Bloody top order didn't fire apart from Styris. Back to normal I guess.

Wonder how slow the pitch will be? The spin twins will be crucial. Hoping for a shower of rain to juice up the pitch for Mills and Gillespie. They're a good new ball partnership but I'm hoping they won't have to bowl at the death.

Yeah, and maybe Jamie How will be the next Ricky Ponting.

Looks like this one'll be over pretty shortly. Only Smith is keeping us in the contest at the moment. Not sure whether it's brilliant batting or dreadful bowling, but either way, its a suitably miserable way to end the tour.

 

[Laurrz]

Gibbs ****ting on NZ's bowlers

theirs to lose now

 

[pasag]

Lol at Gibbs.

 

[Prince EWS]

Lol at Styris's figures in comparison to everyone else.

 

[pasag]

Has been World XI at one end, and Ilford seconds at the other for SA here for a lot of this partnership.

 

[Nate]

C'mon Kiwis!

 

[Corli]

Choke time?

 

[pasag]

Kallis almost run out there, this side has made choking into an art form

 

[pasag]

Vincent, lol!

2 runs to win for SA, Vettori gives Vincent a bowl and he gets Kallis first ball!

 

[Nate]

Haha Vincent. Good times.

Competitive cricket by New Zealand, but South Africa are the better side really.

 

[Jono]

Gibbs is so gun when he's on. Love him.

 

[Protean]

Yay! Today was an awesome day to be at Newlands.

Maybe not Bevan, but Sinclair has alot of talent and experience and there is no reason why he couldn't become a quality finisher.

Time for you to practice some optimism methinks.
