3rd Match: South Africa vs. New Zealand (Group B)

[Ari]

Tuffey again gets a wicket in his first over. Seems to happen more often than not.

 

[Howsie]

:laugh Tuffey strikes in his first over again. The man is a freak. We really needed that though.

 

[Raj_Aryan]

SA in 29/1 in 8 overs,NZ wont give easily they are fighting,and lets see,if they could manage to get 2-3 quick wickets here...

 

[Howsie]

Would of been nice to have Nathan McCullum in this playing XI.

Howsie added 17 Minutes and 44 Seconds later...

Vettori is bowling really well here, he's getting some sharp turn.

 

[King Pietersen]

Glad Mills didn't get a wicket, don't like him, hate his action. Glad Bond's looking good in this 2nd spell, good pace and some very good bouncers. Nice to watch.

Has to be said though. Ryder's tache is the worst facial hair in cricket. I thought Husseys was bad but Ryder's takes the biscuit. Get it shaved Jesse.

 

[nikhil_99]

SA building well, 74/1 in 16 overs,specially kallis, he is looking very good,if NZ have to win the two key bowlers are Bond and Vettori, they need to sttike it as early as possible....or else SA win easily will win it from here....

 

[Howsie]

Bond strikes. Massive wicket, hopefully Vettori can pick up a few after the drinks break.

 

[nz0003]

Dead ████ing set, we have conceded way too many easy runs. We don't deserve to win this at all.

 

[Howsie]

We needed that. If we can get Ab or Duminy in the next 3-4 overs the game is on again.

 

[Brook]

Oh watch out, it's Guptill onto bowl.

 

[Howsie]

Oh watch out, it's Guptill onto bowl.

Failure. The games probably over now. We were probably never in it after making 214. We should of played Patel instead of Hopkins who ended up playing as a pure batsmen, joke selectors.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

why is david boon playing for new zealand?

 

[iridescentt]

Oh watch out, it's Guptill onto bowl.

... and what a fail that turned out to be.

 

[khalek]

NZ can blame the batting PP for the loss.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

another weird MOM.

imo parnell was expensive and getting people caught out late on isn't that great. fair enough if you're bowling yorkers than no one can score off but he's going for over 7 an over and players are getting the ball away, just not quite far enough.

van der mewe or abdv for me.
