    Last couple of wickets go down pretty quickly and we don't quite have a 200 lead and don't really get the very quick 50 odd runs I was hoping we might get from Colin, Henry, Patel and Wagner.

    Still - weather permitting, 136 overs left in the game (I think) and should take the Jaapies at least 60 overs to get past our lead. So we've probably got nearly 110 overs to bowl them out.

    Ha - CdGh trundles in at about 123 kmh, but gets an edge from Elgar and we have the first of 10!

    de Bruyn looking pretty nervous, as well. He had a swish at the last ball of Henry's over and could easily have nicked it.

    His test batting and bowling averages are currently pretty close to Sir RJ Hadlee's! 🙂

    Meanwhile poor old de Bruyn gets run out in shambolic circumstances.

    He's watching the ball and runs straight into Amla and they both fall over - leaving Theunis stranded.

    There are very very few situations where it's ok to be run out in a test match.

    This is certainly not one of them. Always going to need a bit of luck today ... any chance of 8 more strokes of them?

    Another DRS debacle but I heard a noise watching it live. Worth taking a punt in that situation because the worst case scenario is that you don't review it and there is a little edge.

    I was probably seeing what I want to see, but I thought I saw a tiny hotspot with a tiny snicko on the review too.

    33/2 and we've wasted both of our reviews.

    @Chris-B. Who needs those distractions? 😃

    Bowled and obvious catches will do.

    Exactly my point. Outstanding for a guy who we all had pegged as the 'classic' bits and pieces NZ 'all rounder'

    @Bovidae It's almost like that's what they're thinking.

    The first one was particularly shit, because Henry, the bowler, didn't even go up for it.

    Ahh - you're actually being serious?

    It was possibly better when I thought you were joking! 🙂

    I'll believe in him more if he's got the same bowling average and lifted the batting into the 30s after 30 tests.

    He creates an interesting selection dilemma for Southee in particular. 🙂

    Not sure how CdG will go offshore in Tests, but he'd be a dangerous bowler on a tour of England.

    Back to the game at hand: now for Jeets and CDG to run through the Saffas.

    JP almost possessed with the spirit of Hansie! Shoulders arms and lets Jeets bowl him!

    Heh. where's all the 'Waaah, NZ should be scoring so much faster than this' comments submitted to CricInfo now 🙂

    If this pitch was so straightforward to get in and accelerate at will on, that SA top order wouldn't be 50/4...

    Yeah - we're being rewarded for some gritty efforts.

    JP completely deceived by Jeetan's guile - he plays for non-existent turn and the ball goes straight ahead and bowls him.

    Faf, Bavuma and de Kock...and then the bowlers. They'll need some good contributions or some shit Tron weather to escape!
