Black Caps v South Africa
-
Massive wicket. I thought the Saffas were in cruise mode with 2 down and the scoreboard clicking over nicely at above 4.5 an over. But two quick wickets and a couple of fresh batsmen has us back in it. Two dangerous batsmen in here though!

Love the dartboard design with the mowing.

Probably is when the opposition have ABdV at the wicket. You've got to get him out or you're going to lose. But this isn't a complete road.
Paying the price a bit for Broom's cheap dismissal - held off our charge for a few more overs and then we didn't get any massive overs to get us over 310.
-
And Timmy is good enough!!! Or more to the point - Phehlekwayo isn't. Decides to take it all on his own shoulders and can't get more than a single of any of the first four, so declines them all and "concedes" the match.
We get there, but it should have been more comfortable after AB and Morris went.

So stoked with that win but I had a sour taste in my mouth around Sodhi. He just cannot field.
His bowling was shot for the most and when I was complaining the loudest he took that game turning wicket.
I don't know. Fuck I love when we win but that was full of a lot of stupid
-
@Hooroo Yeah - I thought Santner showed why he's been preferred to Sodhi for the most part. Just able to exert more control at crucial times. You can't really rely on Ish to dry up an end if you need it.
A bit of a lack of composure over those closing overs - a couple of misfields by Kane and Brownlie, CdGh a bit slow with a narrow runout opportunity, some poor bowling by all of Sodhi, Boult and Southee opening the door for Pretorius and Phehlekwayo.
The best thing was it put Kepler Wessels back in his box. He was starting to annoy me with his cocky, "you boys have blown this". What have we got an Australian commentator for this series for anyway?
(Pretty sure it's Kepler isn't it?).
