*Official* Quarter Final 3 - New Zealand v South Africa

[R_D]

I hope Symcox is commentating when Taylor, Oram and co are smashing it around later on... will be hilarious to see what the **** has to say.

Okay guys, still being under 100 in the 27th over just isn't on.

"They are still not getting the singles"

Hopefully this pitch is as hard to bat on as we're making it look.

Hopefully this pitch gets harder to bat on.

Yeah, we really need to pick it up now because 240 won't even phase the South African batsmen. Australia got 260 and they were 15-20 runs short so we need around 270 to have a competitive total.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

I don't really mind if we are only 150-2 after 35 overs, tbh.

 

[Flem274*]

You show 'em Biffer.

"They are still not getting the singles"

Yeah they need to start getting few more singles.... But its a good strategy to keep wicket in hands until towards the end.

 

[Bahnz]

I normally hate nicklarse, but his gentle needling of Symcox here is great.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Are those flood lights or disco lights?

 

[Flem274*]

I like how we're forcing Smith to go to Steyn, taking away one of his prime bowlers for the powerplay and the end.

 

[Mike5181]

Hit the ****ing ball.

 

[BeeGee]

If rain ruins this game I'll be seriously pissed off.

 

[Flem274*]

I think Ryder wants to go on the attack...

 

[_Ed_]

Lovely shot, Jess.

 

[morgieb]

Can SA choke again?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

That's it. Follow up the boundary with singles.

 

[_Ed_]

Can SA choke again?

They haven't put a foot wrong so far - they've bowled and fielded very well. It's just been good NZ batting.

 

[Xuhaib]

there is no difference in SA intensity when they play a regular game and a knock out one this is one reason I reckon their record is so poor in pressure games.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Do that to Duminy, not Tahir.
