CWC: NZ vs SA

OomPB

Proteas need to push now. We need Klaasen and Miller to take us close to 400

Chris

With the power from th e middle order to come SA will still make 320 plus on the back of this base already set

Bones

Saffa smoko again. Unbelievable

OomPB

Proteas are 50 runs short.

Bones

So another history making score if we achieve it. 350+ never been chased down.

OomPB

Black Caps should have bat first. Proteas dont chase well.

OomPB

Jansen again in the wickets. His dad played for the Cheetahs. He was a more then useful flyhalf on his day. Marcus Labuschagnes mum was his teacher in Klerksdorp.

Yep, Latham's captaincy struck again on that one.

Looks like the BCs are as dumb as the ABs. SA have an insane recent record of massive wins when they bat first. Their record batting 2nd is nowhere near as good so why put them in?

Boult has had enough of Henry giving away too many runs and no wickets. Tells him to fuck off

Sounds like he opened his pie shop again

By crikey that’s a hiding and a half.

Neesham having a match he’d rather forget as quick as possible. Just awful

nzzp

ehh, we're in the semis unless we drop both games to Pakistan and SL. Then it's a one off day, who executes. I'd still see SA in the semi over Aus or India.

I think the final is going to be between India and SA. Tipping India go win it at home.

100%

India red hot favourites. SA will choke, Aus can't play spin, and we're a starters chance of another mental game against them. But it's theirs to lose.

Damn!

Greedy Jaapies!

@MN5 - Neesh used to be a halfway decent death bowler, though he could never bowl 6 good balls - he's cannon fodder these days.

I hope the news that Kane and Ferg are close to fit - and Henry's departure was precautionary - is right, because we're very short on players - and seam options - and a quick turnaround with Pakistan on Saturday.

Bloody Neesh.

I still hold out vain hope that he’ll become our version of Ben Stokes in the longer version of the game. That would be nice.

Chris B.

@MN5 Bloody Ben Stokes is our version of Ben Stokes.

Cant believe we opted to bowl against a team that struggles when bowling first and the conditions at that ground dont always favour batting second.
To make matters worse we just had injuries upon injuries, will be interesting if we field a full team next match

Chris B.

@bayimports Whatever the thinking was on that - it appears to have backfired pretty spectacularly.
