Black Caps v South Africa
-
Best 4 balls Southee has batted since his debut.
-
A bit of joy at the end as Morris last over gets smashed and we get to 207.
Only thing I hope is that that isn't indicative that the pitch suddenly started to play nicely. If it stays tacky and holding, maybe that will be more foreign to the SA batsmen than us.
Southee giving a bit of credence to my theory that we possibly should promote him to have a hit when we're a wicket or two more down than we want and should be starting the charge, but can't. He apparently plays exactly the same regardless of the position of the game, so he either comes off or he doesn't.

What am I missing? The commentators are talking like we're in front? Surely in the T20 age that's like 60 too short?

Yeah it's only de kock, Amla and AB chasing our score. No doubt we will roll them within 20 overs for an easy win

Staring down the barrel of our 2nd rogering in 3 days here. Not good.
It's a good SA side. No shame in losing. Shame in getting rogered.
Having said that, how the hell did Santner not get an edge the way he is bowling. He's unplayable at the moment

Instead of bowling or trying to bowl six yorkers at the end, I really have no idea what Kane and Southee were trying to do. A major fuck up.
He was trying to bowl slower balls which are quite effective. Boult bowled some nice yorkers but he also got hit for six and Southee doesn't have Boult's control.
