***Official*** New Zealand in South Africa

[Zinzan]

I'll watch it for you then, Zinzan.

As you say, a horrible (but funny) way to get out.

I wouldn't imagine Fleming saw the humour in it

 

[Pratters]

Good partnership going on.

I reckon if the kiwis manage around 230, it will be competitive.

 

[NZTailender]

What radio stations are broadcasting the game in NZ and in SA? Trying to get a feed without much luck

 

[Jono]

Oh McMillan you dope.

 

[MoxPearl]

243... nice

 

[_Ed_]

Good score after being on 206 after 47 overs. Certainly defendable, need to hold our catches this time though!

 

[andyc]

Wow, I have no idea how the Kiwis got to 243, but good on them. I think it could be 30-40 runs too low, though.

 

[luckyeddie]

Slow wicket, on the other hand short boundaries and a fast outfield.

Not par, but not far short.

 

[Pratters]

The kiwis favourites to win this match imo. South Africa face a challenge and it wont be easy making the required runs.

 

[MoxPearl]

Slow wicket, on the other hand short boundaries and a fast outfield.

Not par, but not far short.

I would put it par/just above par

Remember the average score at that ground is around 230

 

[Neil Pickup]

And also remember that SA chased down 270 against us in February there.

 

[Pratters]

What a super 6 by AB! what a player!!!

Really confused whom to support. I am a South African fan but have bet $200 on New Zealand on CW money makers.

 

[Pratters]

With AB gone off Mills the match continues to remain what New Zealand-South Africa encounters usually are - fascinating to watch.

 

[Jono]

AB was looking really good, he'll be kicking himself because he knows today was a good opportunity to cement himself in the SA team had he gone on.

 

[Pratters]

Surprisingly poor start for AB in one day cricket in sharp contrast to his test match start.

 

[MoxPearl]

umm why the hell is oram the extra player ??


He didnt bat and he wont bowl..

Am i missing something ? or did we just waste a entire player

 

[_Ed_]

You have to name the sub before the toss, I guess NZ were hoping to bowl first and bring Oram in to bat.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Jacques Rudolph doing his best to lose it for SA here - 10*(42). Nice.

 

[Pratters]

Rudoph has looked really scratchy. But the more these two continue, the better the chance of South Africa winning gets.

 

[Pratters]

Vettori has an economy rate of 4.8. 145 required off 150 balls. Vettori has 10 overs to go. South Africa has 8 wickets in hand.

This is a very interesting match!
