Nice finish by Behardien. Good total. NZ will be under the kosh when they come in
91 @ Just For Kicks:
Massive total to get in 19 overs…
OK, let me go dish up, crumbed calamary rings and some prawns, I believe… njammie!
71 @ Bullscot:
Yip the weather is wild up there. Far too windy for me though. Enjoy the cold air just don’t like such strong winds especially icy winds.
93 @ grootblousmile:
You eat late boet. Sounds good what you gonna have though.
Guptil not being allowed to settle in. Morkel with a snorter.
See Rudi I told you 160 plus and that was off only 19 0vers 😉
Prtoeas bowling well so far, come boys get these okes out for around 80 and make it a thrashing
So, the total New Zealand is chasing is 169, with the one reduced over the total has been revised to a little more.
97 @ Sharks_forever:
I was closer with my 170 prediction….
95 @ Puma:
Yip, we often eat late, but today was special because all of us were working on the house stuff
NZ 22 / 0 after 4 overs
NZ need to up their run rate a bit, they’re already falling behind heavily
Nicol looks a bit like Levi. It’s all or nothing.
Better over for NZ as Kleinveldt has a brainfart!
Well, we’ve given them a fast’ish start… now we must pull it all back with wickets
39 / 0 after 6 overs
100 @ grootblousmile:
Would never do me boet. I like to eat early around 6pm or latest 7pm. Sometimes we braai later, but only sometimes.
107 @ Puma:
Arghhh, it’s just the way life is for us… Handbriekie often comes home late from work… I work late almost every night.
And I don’t sleep till after midnight, that’s just how my body clock works, so it does’nt bother me.
Last I looked, it was 48/0 after 7.1 overs. Just seems to tough I think.
Nz 56 / 0 after 8 overs
6 By Guptil
108 @ grootblousmile:
If I went to bed after midnight it would not bother me either. I am normally in bed by 10pm. Then of course if I am working later and I do from time to time, then I do eat a bit later those nights. When I am on holiday we eat later. Like you say it is how we live our lifes.
110 @ grootblousmile:
Could be game on, though we get one I think the rest could fall quickly.
We need a wicket or 2 just to keep them well in check…. they are making a fist of it
Guptill with a 4 and a massive 6
Nicol OUT!
NZ 76 / 1 after 9.5 overs
Good wicket. Peterson stayed calm after that 6 and induced the shot. Well done.
114 @ grootblousmile:
Think they want to make up for a very poor start in Durbs. We just need one wicket here and think the rest will fall quickly. Well for now think that. We don’t take a wicket soon then they could win it.
Okay we got one. Let us see how it goes from here.
