Rickleton channeling his inner G Pollock so far

Rickleton channeling his inner G Pollock so far

Meanwhile Bavuma channeling his inner Paul Adams batting wise. What a scrub ffs

 

[King Kane]

If New Zealand drops a catch or 2 along the way they'll badly miss the wonderful fielding of Ewen Chatfield.

We could do with the economical bowling of Ewen Chatfield right now, our bowers have been a bit too expensive for my liking so far.

LOL 2*(16) chasing 363

 

[Darwin Award]

Hahahahahaha... Bavuma has basically batted 3 overs in deliveries for 3 runs.

He's rapidly bringing up the asking rate to 8.

 

[SkyBlue]

He should be sacked as captain and retire from ODI's

This is pretty disgraceful stuff

 

[Darwin Award]

Once Bavuma goes send in Sunil '39 off 174 deliveries' Gavaskar as Number 3.

 

[James]

Yes! Rickleton was looking super dangerous.

Let's keep Bavuma at the crease for another 20 balls or so

 

[SkyBlue]

Wicket was coming. All the pressure created by Bavuma's tailender level batting.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yo Bavuma bro

 

[Darwin Award]

... And there we go.. poetic justice in a horrible form.

The better batsman & the one immediately showing intent gets out.

Saffers effectively 2 for 20 now.. lol

 

[King Kane]

Never doubted you Henry, great change of pace to get Rickelton.

 

[Moss]

Good bit of field placing, ball held up in the surface it looked like

 

[SteveNZ]

Wicket was coming. All the pressure created by Bavuma's tailender level batting.

The pitch has a two-paced feel about it at times and Rickelton got out in front of himself to one that held. Bavuma is having a 'mare, but that had nothing to do with the dismissal.

 

[Darwin Award]

South Africa need a Botham to walk out to run-out Bavuma Boycott.

 

[Darwin Award]

Van Der Dussen goes past Bavuma's score with his first delivery faced... lol

 

[Moss]

KJ has been picked off each time he's strayed on to the pads. Otherwise looked on the money.

 

[King Kane]

Bavuma cutting loose with a boundary, some people here are being a bit harsh on him, he's a quality batsman.

 

[SteveNZ]

Yep, KJ generally hitting a hard length and looking good.

If O'Rourke goes well, we're a long way to winning this. I like the fact that ball from Rickleton played up a bit, bodes well

 

[Heboric]

That stat given by Simon Doull on Bavuma is quite damning regarding tournament performances. I guess he is next to be blocked by Firdose
