Very ambitious NZ team. Bond said they were still hoping to win the game. I would be all about the draw at this stage.
there more chance of winning than drawing this match

cant see how either side can draw this match with so much time left hurricane

well hey theres one. we wont get 20 because SA will only need to bat once even if 260 is their final score but we might get 10.

Am getting really sick and tired of all this checking for no balls. Has happened 5 or 6 times in the last couple of days, most of which for cases where the bowlers foot was no where near being over. Just make it the duty of the 3rd umpire ffs.

Either the speed guns in SL or India were smoking something or these two have lost 5-10kph overnight.

What speeds is Eranga clocking in Ostraya?

edit: i guess Steyn and Philander were down on pace on the gun yesterday so maybe there is another explanation.

Pretty much what he was in sl: mid 130's to low 140's.

This looks pretty accurate, very gentle looking bowling from Braces and Boult.

Boult's better off looking for a little swing, which he's getting, than trying to bowl fast with a 68 over old ball. Bond probably asked for more accuracy and consistency today too.

There's a bit of movement and variable bounce even with the old ball this morning. Wish Bracewell would bowl a few in the same spot to take advantage of it

*** off Franklin, you bowl 100 kms and hour and still can't be accurate. Softest test cricketer ever. Mental strength of a ******** hedgehog.
