Ingram really does look absolutely village every time I watch him bat.

Spectacular runout of Amla from Guptill - Amla looked in very good touch so thats a huge breakthrough. And as I type, SA 2 down already...if we get AB in the next couple of overs, that'd represent an excellent start for NZ.

This is true.


There's just something I like about Guptill, even when he plays some horrible shot in the first half hour of a test match to be out for 3. Fielding is definitely a major bonus.

Agree, a concept Simon Doull can't seem to grasp. Mills has never been a good T20 bowler as his ER of 8.46 shows.

That's bull****, I understand giving it not out because there isn't enough evidence, but have a look at the 2n d angle ffs. Looked out.

Wow, Southee's looking for enemies. They'll be aiming at his head.

Good pace, timmeh. Really lifted his game of late.

Great over from Southee, Levi gone! Certainly not complaining about a scoreline reading 3/38 after the powerplays against this strong looking SA lineup.

Levi and Ingram have looked dreadful against spin in the world up game and against McCullum.

Champion spell by NcCullum, must be said.

In hindsight NcCullum opening with Williamson or Nicol might have been a better option than Mills.

Indeed, they made NcCullum look like Warne.

Quality spell from NcCullum. Very interested to see how Hira/Botha now perform.

Sheesh, if Mills was on his toes then, that could've been a fourth...
