***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

[straw man]

 

[_Ed_]

****.

 

[Bahnz]

That dismissal was a carbon copy of the one at Hagley oval.

 

[Mike5181]

The only thing Brownlie's done right in the last five minutes was walk off rather than review his dismissal.

 

[_Ed_]

Double ****.

 

[straw man]

What an absolutely horrible attempt at a shot by Brownlie - he hit one on middle stump earlier to square leg using a very closed face and so it's not surprising he now misses one. Simply can't try to play a ball on the stumps that square.

 

[Mike5181]

Ronchi's not a bad option against Tahir.

 

[Bahnz]

As ever Ronchi's bat looks about as wide as a toothpick when batting against pace.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Why Ronchi ahead of Neesham? Neesham batted pretty well at 4 in Australia

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Missing Latham and Broom now. Time for a Ronchi 170 - he certainly owes the selectors

 

[Chewie]

The fire cannon things went off when ronchi scored that run haha

 

[straw man]

Erk are we really in the 16th over already - run rate is barely 3.

... and that's out. Thanks for the game guys.

 

[straw man]

How come Phehlukwayo is bowling so well today? Don't remember him getting any movement really in the previous matches.

 

[Bahnz]

Oh dear I think that hit him outside the line. Ronchi's eyes truly are ****ed.

Or maybe not

 

[Prince EWS]

Time for Ronchi to ton up and secure his spot for the next five years.

 

[straw man]

Ronchi hit a boundary!

Ronchi is 8*!

It's happening!

and literally as I typed that

 

[straw man]

Would have sent CDG in ahead of Santner - Santner has batting ability (imo) but has some parts of his game that he needs to work on, isn't in good form and is unlikely to score quickly.

29 overs left, though. Don't think it's going to matter which order they come out with so much time left.

 

[straw man]

True, CDG gets his chance now

 

[jcas0167]

Hehe, Ian Smith not happy with the pace in the wicket. CdG looking reasonably comfortable.
