    Dale Steyn out off the 2nd last ball

  • 62

    Surely thats game lost now

  • 63

    SA Win with a 6

    Whoop, whoop!

  • 64

    Chew thank god we won. I think I can’t take another choking article by the online community.

  • 65

    Well done SA especially McClaren for hitting that 6 off the last ball to win when we needed 3 runs off that one to win, thought with Steyn’s wicket that was th game gone and maybe at best we could have tied it, but…McClaren had other ideas.

    What I noted last night was that in two of the last four overs bowled by the Kiwis there was a wide, the extra ball in one of the overs went for 2 and extra ball in the other went for 4, just shows you have to be more disciplined even more so in tight games.

  • 67

    Just for the record SA ended on 264/9 with Graeme Smith getting 116 and man of the match

    67 @ Bullscot:

    Morning bud, how you doing? Hope well.

    How is your weather right now in Scotland? Have you had any more snow?

    We have had blistering heat this week, think Thursday was probably one of the hottest days here in Durbs. temp at 37 with almost 100% humidity was a killer of note.

    Well done Proteas. Excellent game from both sides, have to say that is the sort of games I enjoy the most where we battle it out for a win. Though that was a wee to close for comfort last night. The last ball could hardly look, thought where will McLaren get it through for a 4, then whoosh….. he gets a 6 … 🙂 awesome finish to a great contest yesterday.

    Well done to the Black Caps on a excellent one day series. They struggled in the Tests, but were up for it in the ODIs.

    Now for Pakistan can’t wait for the tests.
