CWC: NZ vs SA

Chris B.

QdK avoid the red card.

Boult hit him in the head earlier, but definitely shoulder first mitigation!

Chris B.

@Bones It was an umpire review.

I don't think they ever give those sort of double hits - you sometimes see people edge onto their pad and back onto the bat and I've never seen anyone appeal or given.

A long way to go, but that run rate would have been great in the 1980s

Bones

@Chris-B oh duh me on both counts, cheers.

As you were, ever reliable black caps.

Bones

Here we go, another Saffa smoko. Bring on the bomb squad.

Bones

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

Chris B.

Fuck it. Now Matt Henry's twinged a hammy.

At least he's bowled 5.3 overs, so Jimmy won't have to bowl too many.

Chris B.

Despite what the comms are saying I don't think this isn't an absolute road to bat on. I think it must be holding a bit. They're not timing it consistently.

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?

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.
