Blomme win by 2 runs!
YESSSSSSSSs
Wow, that was too close!
What a finish, wow, that was close, but between Duminee, Steyn and Tahir, SA came home. Well done to both sides for a great game of cricket
Oh my gosh my gollie – my nerves – thank the gods for Steyn…
STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow
I’ve been following the game by your comments, no access to TV
Thanks guys, you got me just as nervous as if I was watching
Guess they must throw m Morkel out very quickly
Wat kan ‘n mens sê !!!
Uiteindelik, die spook van 1999 en al die ander chokes daarna hopelik begrawe.
Skitterende terugveg poging, Steyn vir president !
Kiwis choke!
Phweeeew!!
240: congrats with the big choke, mate. 😉
@ gunther:
😆 For a change…
Congratulations SA.
A fine win.
I don’t like it……………………………..but WTF. We botha live to fight another day.
Dankie Duminy, Amla, Immie and the Stein remover…
@ cane:

Tsotsie needs to go… maybe so too Morkel, they are struggling hugely with form

No maybes about Morkel
Hy is hondkak
At least you fukkers didn’t bowl underarm to us on the last ball.
the two man dale and Duminy show
@ grootblousmile:
We need really good spinners – like India – they go in with two quickies and then the spinners…
Morne’s confidence is so down – I wouldn’t easily play him.
MoM moet vir Steyn gaan, dit was wêreldklas. JP ook goed, maar Steyn het die wedstryd gewen.

Wha ha ha
No Chappels in our side, maybe Morkel should have considered it
I hope your guys give him a black cap, he was your MVP today
@ grootblousmile:
😉
It’s only a game Groot.
Not like Rugby.
🙂
Go Holland…
Morkel was a poor selection these wickets suit him fuckall.
Lopsy too is nowhere.
267 @ cane:
Yip, Rugby is the important one, that’s for sure!
Gooooooo Bulls!
