Black Caps v South Africa

@Chris-B. said in Black Caps v South Africa:

Rossco wanted to know what he needed to do to make the team.

Turns out, "Sit on your couch with a beer in hand" is enough.

Given Tahir's success, you've got to think that giving Sodhi a run might have been a reasonable idea.

Missed Guppy, Missed Rossco, Missed Ish.

Sounds about right...

Glorious sunny day here, but wouldn't you know it....it's raining in fucking Hamilton.

Is this the game that was shifted from Napier?

Richmond - highest sunshine hours in NZ last year...and the location of Saxton Field.

NZ Cricket needs to "drain the swamps".

Send the games to where the sun shines brightly!

@Chris-B. hot and humid here!!

[Donsteppa]

Sods law. Get them to drive over here for a game!

Think they moved game 4 or 5 from Napier?

[Mokey]

Rain must be centered directly on Hamilton, cos we havent had a drop in the sticks.

Cricinfo says 5.15pm start, 34 overs per side.

[Virgil]

34 overs and we are batting first.
Dean Brownlie and Tom Latham to open, has their ever been such a lackluster opening pair before?
They dont exactly make you rush to grab a seat incase you miss any 'fireworks'.

[Virgil]

Latham 0 off 9..looking to take the shine off the new ball and bat into day 2..

[Virgil]

Latham gone for...0 off...11 Balls.

The Black Caps only get to score off 32 overs, SA will have 34..

[Virgil]

70/2 if anyone is interested..
Roscoe just joining Williamson

[Mokey]

Gah. Fucking soft dismissals.

No pressure, Obi Wan Kaneobi, but you're our only hope.

[Virgil]

@Mokey what are you doing posting in my private thread..
Yeah pretty shit from Roscoe, someone check to see if Hesson was smiling when he was dismissed

Tom is going to give Hesson a headache. When Guppy comes back, one of the openers is going to have to drop out. If it's Tom, we've got to bring in someone to keep - and that means losing a bowling option somewhere. Probably Ronchi in for Neesham or de Grandhomme?

Yeah I think he will give him a few more games but at some point he will have to go.
Gah 4 down all to Morris, how many overs has he left to bowl?

[Mokey]

Ah shit. Kane gone. 108/5.

Santner in.

[nzzp]

@Mokey our run rate is low and we're losing wickets. The worst of both worlds

[Mokey]

10 overs to go. 121/5.

Santner and Neesham both on 10. Would be great to see a counter offensive, but the Saffas are bowling and fielding very, very well.

[hydro11]

Disappointing performance so far to say the least. Really missing Guptill today.

[Damo]

Going to take a top bowling performance to get out of this one.
Boult and co are capable of defending anything if they bowl well.

[Mokey]

156/7.

Just seriously shit batting.
