Strange review process against Faf.
Third umpire finds no evidence, but there's a small spike as the ball goes past the bat. No hotspot.
I think he might have got a tiny nick and the commentators think Faf thinks he did as well.
Making our way through the Jaapies. AB makes a rare mistake and runs out Pretorius.
159/6
Get AB now and we've got the game by the throat!
Guptill doesn't look 100% with the hamstrings as he's fielding at 3rd man.
This little spell is costing us the game. Some pretty average bowling and fielding on display.
@Damo Yeah - the wheels came off badly.
100 off the last 8 overs and what was looking like 240 becomes 280.
That looks a fair way above par to me.
We'll know after 10 overs if this will be another early finish.
@Bovidae said in Black Caps v South Africa:
optimistic ... whe we are 3/2 after 10 balls maybe better.
Our top order batting doesn't look ominous at all for the Test series...
Guptil 50 off 38. Reasonable...
Martin Guptill great to see you again son, you have been missed.
Let's please try Guppy at 5 in the tests. He can't open but he's clearly too good to be discarded from tests entirely.
Guppy, "My hamstring's sore, I'm rusty and the pitch is tricky...ah fuck it, I'll smack a quick 50".
goddamit. Do you remember when Tahir was a joke?
Thank goodness for drs. Pretty average decision from umpire considering it was both too high and missing leg.
Guppy's 73* off 60 has covered AB's 72 off 59. Bonus territory now.
Just need a few others to come to the party and cover especially Faf and Amla.
Guppy's getting bored so he engages in a quick game of skittles with Morris and Parnell!
I know Guptil's test record isn't world beating... but if he misses out to Henry Fucking Nicholls the selectors should be shot.
Guppy probably hasn't scored enough runs to get back into the team. I wonder if the coaches have told him what he needs to do?
congrats Guppy.. 12th ton..
Superb hundred, while the others have scored 50 between them.
Ian Smith's on the pick Guppy down the order team and I'm on the bandwagon too. Surely a fucking hypnotist can convince him to see red as white?
