CWC Game #5 Black Caps v South Africa
-
Well this is a bit weird. Half way through the world cup and I still don't know how good we are at the moment.
Can conceivably see quite a few outcomes from this game. Tournament sort of starts again for us.
Predicting a few scares early on but hopefully we have enough cohesion and confidence to get us over the line. Got a stinky suspicion that Amla is due but otherwise hopefully the Saffas save their top drawer performance for the Aussies, as usual 😉
Go Black!!

Neil Manthorpe (SA commentator) was saying on Radio Sport this AM that he's absolutely pants. Has been in steep decline for 18 months ... which, as you say, means he'll smash 100 off 40 against us

A wet outfield causing delays - annoying!

Yeah, it does kind of feel like a tournament too far for a few of the key South African players, but I'm still feeling really nervous about this game.

Shit shot, fuck off!

Not much to work with is there?
-
@mariner4life Line and length? Fuck.
-
Fucking Amla's day so far, lucky prick is batting like a drunk but surviving
-
This surface looks pretty fucking good and we may have made a tactical error
Wait, fuck off!! Old fashioned one two punch!!

If ever there was a game for Kane's tweakers, today would be the day.
I hope Southee gets a look in again. Milne again returns good figures, but without the early wicket from Boult and Amla's struggles I'm not sure how well he would fare. There is something about him that looks like he will go at 10 an over against the big boys if Boult can be seen off.
