Black Caps v SA

said in Black Caps v SA:

We were positioned to get 175+, but we're going to be a fair way short of that unless someone unexpected does something unexpected.

And Clarkson does!

Well done that man!

26 off 9 and we end up on 175 exactly!

Clarkson is considered to be one of the biggest hitters in NZ.

I’m a bit late to the party, didn’t watch game 1.

Saw the second half of the innings.

Man did I get a shock when I saw T Latham’s name on the scoresheet. Why the fuck is he in the team? Reminds me of when we picked Mark Richardson in the ODI team.

Anywho… great to see we are back to fielding our 2nd or 3rd XI as soon as the World Cup is over

@Gunner to be fair - the Jaaps are fielding a pretty B team as well.

I reckon we've posted a pretty competitive score. Hopefully be enough!

Pressure building...

Clarkson has looked pretty good domestically this season, nice to see him bringing that up to the next level.

mulder smacks it...

Veritable Who's That of NZ crucket

Nice - keep Esterhuizen quiet and then get him!

29/1 after 5.

That's well behind where they'd want to be!

South Africa batting like they're chasing down 90 again.

Superb first over from Santner

Satnav gets Mulder and we're on top!

Pretty much a Who's That of Seffrican cricket too.

Why are we pretending this is a full on International representative match?

I don't think many people are - you old curmudgeon!

It's a credible NZ team - probably smack the shit out of the Young Guns of the 90s.

Wonderful power from Linde.

Match might come down to how he goes

@KiwiMurph His partners have deserted him!
