I was really hoping that France make it a fairytale comeback from a poor WC, but the whole world agrees that the worlds best team can now use the title World Champions for the next 4 years. I would have loved to see how the Springboks would fare today. The confidence of the All Blacks looked a bit low at stages.

Smith doesn’t realize it is a catch, and wants to throw at the non-striker’s end. He has a surprised look on his face as neither the non-striker wants to run nor the bowler wants the throw ,
Was that ball not to high , no wonder the fielder thought it is a not out coming.
Good score posted, now the bowlers turn to produce
As All Blacks ‘n WB kan wen, kan ons Artichokes dit ook doen!!!! Whoooohooooo! Daar is hoop!
303 Off 50 is not bad.
We must get wickets early, peg them back and make them play conservative cricket
not a great start to the second innings
Steyn just not on the ticky at the moment, lacking some match practice, I fear
Get your runs at the beginning of the over, and the pressure is on the bowler. That is what Warner/Ponting doing very successfully
Brilliant catch at cover by Faf
