Not necessarily, if Franklin plays a solid 30-40 and Mills gets a quick 20 near the end Flem would only need to make another 50 or so....... not that I'd complain if Flems got his double tho.

There's no way Mills will score 20.

 

[thedarkmullet]

There's no way Mills will score 20.

Even with his top order batting skills?

 

[Right arm fast]

how much does franklin have to average to"step up" he averages 17 in test cricket

 

[_Ed_]

Even with his top order batting skills?

It's just a bit hard to score 20 when you're carrying the drinks.

 

[thedarkmullet]

Really? We're in the poo then arn't we.

 

[_Ed_]

Yes, yes we are.

 

[thedarkmullet]

Oh well i guess it is time for Franklin to step up then.

 

[Loony BoB]

Fleming passes 150 now... and wow, Cricinfo got to it faster than Cricbuzz. First time for everything!

 

[_Ed_]

Franklin's playing some good shots too, good to see.

But don't forget that we've been assured that SA are infintiely better than NZ, so even if NZ make 450, SA will make 800!

 

[thedarkmullet]

But don't forget that we've been assured that SA are infintiely better than NZ, so even if NZ make 450, SA will make 800!

And still have time to skittle NZ for 30 in the second innings

 

[marc71178]

25 surely, got to get the world record!

 

[thedarkmullet]

You're right, damn my inexcusable NZ bias.

 

[Blaze]

Just switched on the cricket. We are doing well. Ntini went nuts over the Franklin decision. I thought he clipped his pad?

Lol at the commentator 'there was a clear edge there'

After the third replay I still couldn't work out if he hit it...

 

[_Ed_]

Looked like he hit his pad to me. But of course I'm hardly objective.

Nasty ball there from Ntini. That wasn't a very nice thing to do.

 

[Loony BoB]

36 more runs and Fleming's average gets back to 40.

 

[NZTailender]

That's if he's not out. He needs to get to 6440 to get it to 40 if he gets out. He's currently on 6369.

 

[Loony BoB]

Aye, but here's hoping he doesn't get out.

 

[_Ed_]

Wouldn't mind if he got to 6440!

 

[NZTailender]

Aye, but here's hoping he doesn't get out.

Franklin with a 100 and Fleming with a 300 would be very nice







But it won't happen.
