Black Caps v South Africa

[MajorRage]

Never too late for a collapse in Black Caps land ...

[Gunner]

Oh Rosco, soft!

There was absolutely no need to play that shot.

3 will quickly become 4 no doubt with Fern favourite Ronchi out there now.

[westcoastie]

Ronchi batting...hope he gets out for nil. and we can finally get rid of him

Always a massive chance of that

[westcoastie]

@MN5 Fuckin' aye... or call Guptill through for a totally unnecessary run whereby he does his hammy again...

[Gunner]

Guppy struggling to run now.
Two 3rd umpire run out referrals on consecutive balls.....
No more quick singles please!

[Mokey]

LOL, Guppy doesn't want to run, six, six, two. Game over. 180. Take a bow, son.

[westcoastie]

ironically, if Guptill was out again, its likely Ronchi would go to such is the balance of the side.

meanwhile Guptill says fuck you Ronchi, and smacks a bunch of sixes...

[Gunner]

Guppy rode a bit of luck late in that innings, but that's one hell of a knock. Well done young fulla.

[Rembrandt]

Amazing innings

[Donsteppa]

All hail Lord Sir Martin Guptill.

180* in a chase of 280.

[No Quarter]

In a chase of 280 Guppy goes and scores 64% if our runs. That's gotta be a record of some description. What an incredible innings after an injury break, some of the cleanest hitting you'll ever see.

[westcoastie]

@No-Quarter From what I can tell, he just replaced one A.Jones as 4th on the all time list...

[Chris B.]

Fantastic innings by Guppy. He's now got the three highest ODI scores by a New Zealander and Rossco's short-lived status as NZ's best ODI batsman is under severe threat.

Great innings by Luke Ronchi at five, as well. Summed up the situation perfectly and did exactly what was required. Cemented his spot in my mind.

[mimic]

Thank goodness Kane didn't review his lbw, otherwise Guppy would've been out a lot earlier.

[SynicBast]

This little graphic says it all really

[Chris B.]

Today's innings take Guppy's ODI average marginally ahead of Rossco's as well.

[Bovidae]

Told ya it would be an early finish!

Guptill must be knackered.

Can someone design some glasses that make red balls look white?

[westcoastie]

@SynicBast In that innings v Sri Lanka, Hesson must've said to Ronchi, if you get one-fiddy today, you're in for life... #regrets
