[Mike5181]

Mariu looking really good so far. Kelly dropped on 4, Phillips out being a bit reckless.

 

[Skyliner]

Jacobs also trudges back.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Great start by the SA A seamers , got to keep it up cause this lower order can bat

Looked like that LBW on Keene was going down leg. What a shame, he was looking dangerous.

 

[ataraxia]

Great to see Foulkes in the runs. Has the talent but was shy on runs at domestic level for a long time.

A nice change in general for a team representing NZ to grind out lower-order runs tbh.

 

[Skyliner]

Foulkes showing his allrounder credentials today, backing up his performance with the ball in the second test against Zimbabwe. A disappointing return from the top and middle order today.

 

[straw man]

229 is a nice score - I last saw them around 120/7. Very encouraging signs for Foulkes if he can start complementing his bowling with runs.

Hope to catch a replay of Fisher's wickets - he took two with his first two balls.

 

[straw man]

Didn't catch the wickets but did watch an over from Fisher just now. His pace is causing real problems... for our fielders as much as the batters. Two dropped catches in the over, including a sharply rising but still regulation chance for Hay behind the stumps.

Fisher is also generating some outswing, which you love to see. Accuracy a little inconsistent but ehh.. pace.

 

[straw man]

Fisher taken for four consecutive fours and then another two consecutive wickets - he's fun to watch.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

What a knock by Rubin Hermann , Foulkes has come in for a pasting

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Why are we trying to win this game in 30 overs just bat out the game and you win

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Damn scoring 158 out of a total of 229 is insane, I hope this counts in Rubin's stats ..

 

[Skyliner]

Not a great game for Mitch Hay, out for a duck then dropping catches.

 

[GRAB]

Qeshile's catches particularly the first 2, were excellent.
