CWC Game #5 Black Caps v South Africa

[nzzp]

@LABCAT Phew! You got that right.

Williamson starts swinging, gets put down in the outfield ... and it's a noball.

SA have missed a couple fo hard chances, but the commentators are climbing into them about missing a thin thin thin edge to the wicket keeper. FFS, if you're not sure you heard a nick, you don't throw a review at it.

Free hit now for Kane, smashes it powerfully to fine leg for a single. What a player

[booboo]

Always a no ball

[nzzp]

South africa mentally shot. Just coughed up a horror show in the outfield... dropped catch, person behind doesn't even bother stopping the ball goign for 4

Game's over

[Victor Meldrew]

Sth Africa's fielding has been worse than a nightmare - it's been comedy.

[booboo]

Colin you eeediiot

Looks like Santner might need to hit this home. The dot balls and singles from Williamson aren’t quite going to make it at this run rate required.

[Donsteppa]

Excellent, set it up for a Kane boundary

His wee nurdles through the slips is very very effective though... been doing it consisently for the last hour or so

Kane hits a six and goes to his hundred, locks up the scores. Fark me, what timing. Outstanding

[LABCAT]

Kane is the man!!!

He’s the fucking man!!

[nzzp]

Ha ha ha, and just goes full 80s all blacks try scorer - just stone cold raising his bat

[rotated]

Kane sees and plays this game on another level - just outstanding.

[Donsteppa]

Excellent, a great win, and once again we’ve confirmed the the departure of South Africa from the tournament!

I believe that’s 5 CWC wins in a row against South Africa to us

[booboo]

WILLIAMSON HITS IT INTO THE GRANDSTAND!

AND NEW ZEALAND (SHOULD BE*) IN THE WORLD CUP SEMI FINAL!

KANE WILLIAMSON! SUPERMAN!

(please please please)

[Donsteppa]

I’d forgotten that Phehlukwayo still had to bowl the final over. Very handy!

Edge of the seat stuff. Amazing Kane.

And with the exception of 2007, South Africa were comfortably ahead at some point after the change of innings in all of them.

What a thrilling game. I don't think I've ever actually seen Kane hit a six. That was ace!
