Jeez Morne is absolutely rock bottom…
Game over, bespreek die vlug na SA toe.
NZ kan die game hier wen met enkel lopies.
NZ bat down 9, with some degree of proficiency.
SA neeed wickets.
@ Ben:
They will try and finish it off quickly and get a good net run rate to end top of the log…
@ cane:
SA need a miracle and Morlel aint that…
bring steyn back, throw a dice
…and the dice has worked… seven to go…
Hi all, just popped in to see the score – wish I hadn’t now!……but theres a top catch from AB. Hope yet?
Wat soek Morkel daar?
Goeie vangskoot, nou kort ons nog net 7 van hulle.
Wickettttt!
AB de Villiers takes a great catch.
NZ 117 / 3 after 13.3 overs
…the question is? Who will back Steyn up?
Nog 2 paaltjies, dan is ons eers terug in die game.
He must bowl Steyn out now
No use he has 2 overs left by the time they get the winning runs
And pos M Morkel
133: yip, dit is die probleem, Steyn kan nie al die balle boul nie. Hierna boul Tsotsobe of Morkel, dan is die game heeltemal verby.
NZ blok net vir Steyn en slaan die res.
We are bowling half trackers… so easy
Well at least we chocked early… LOL
Morkel just can’t find a hole deep enough right now!
The Black CraPS NEED 8.13 PER OVER ………… OFF THE LAST 5 OVERS.
aNYTHING CAN HAPPEN HERE OKES.
@ cane:
Of course – it could come off two overs if Morkel bowls again…
Soos ek gesê het in die begin, het die game klaar verloor in eerste 5 beurte toe ons geen paaltjies gekry het nie en hul 40 op die bord gesit het.
NZ 140 / 3 after 16 overs.
They need 31 off 24 balls
Moet Steyn nou boul.
@ Ben:
We lost the game in our first half of the batting. We tend to bat conservatively and then launch at the end… We should be launching from earlier… The other teams play that way…
NZ require 7.7 per over from the last 4 overs.
Well Immie has kept the pressure up…
Wicketttt
Tahir strikes, caught by Amla.
NZ 140 / 4
Die Tier slaan toe !
