OK fellas… I’m out for a while on business, chat later
You have to say well done to New Zealand for standing up to our bowlers here after a horrendous start for them in the first innings. Also here we thought it would be all over today and not to be. Think we could now see day 4.
I heard on TV the catering company opted out of today’s lunch thinking all would be over – facepalm for someone
Test over as Steyn gets stuck in and folds the Kiwi’s
Go out and come back and see NZ 279/9
So there will be no day 4
Well done Proteas quite a comprehensive win by an innings and 27 runs. Only time I managed a peek at score earlier must have been just after New Zealand lost their 5th wicket, so quite a surprise to look again now and see it all over with New Zealand all out for 275.
Well done Proteas another big win.
Well done to Big Vern on getting mom. Well deserved.
337 @ Puma:
Hi Puma yip you beat me to it no surprise to see Philander get man of the match for his 7 wickets, it was really his 5 wicket haul in 1st innings that broke the back of New Zeland.
Wow… done and dusted, 6 wickets falling while I was out….
The arsehole ripped right of New Zealand…. hehehe
lekkkkkkkkker manne
338 @ Bullscot:
Big Vern sure deserved it. Was outstanding in the first innings and again today. He has been in brilliant form since last year.
