CWC: NZ vs SA

[Bones]

He's hit it again after the bounce, what happens then?

[OomPB]

QdK avoid the red card.

[Bones]

If the fact he's hit it again means that's a wicket, then poor of NZ not to point it out. If not, it's a poor review, that seemed obvious.

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.

[canefan]

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.

[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.

[akan004]

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?
