4th ODI: New Zealand v South Africa at Hamilton on Mar 1, 2017 - NZ WON BY 7 WICKETS

Is AB De Villiers even real?

Freak

Nice 50 from Guptill.

NZ looking good at the moment. A collapse is always on the cards and South Africa are favourites, but pretty happy at the moment.

And then, that...

f**k Nossy!?!?

Awful shot from Kane. I still maintain his batting is well short of a gallop since being captain.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Just saw that shot from AB.

What a genius.

Maybe the greatest ODI batsman ever. His record even stacks up against Kohli's.

I don't think Williamson is anywhere near as reliable as he was in 2014/15- high bar, but yeah...

What a genius.

I think, purely on ability, AB is in a class of his own. Maybe he's not as consistent over his whole career as Kohli has been pretty much since he came in, but I'd wager he's the first man picked in anyone's best ODI side outside India. And probably quite a few in India.

He was always a very good player but he's turned into a man who is almost impossible to bowl to. Some of the shots he plays you just sit there and wonder what the bowlers can actually do....

Him or Richards, AB is just insane though, so was Viv back then in a relative way

Nossy is just making up ways to get out ATM
To be fair to Smithy, Guptill is looking pretty good today

This looks like a deadset Watto review on first look

 

[Bazal]

Oooo good review! I thought he was dead

 

[Meth]

Reifell is a dogshit umpire

 

[Iafeta]

Wayne that is an appalling decision. That was missing every day and twice on Sunday. Disgraceful. Saved by the DRS.

thought it was going down leg clearly on first look

 

[Tommy Smith]

ABs the only player I can think of that can score a 33 off 220 balls to save a test and a 31 ball ODI century and a 66 ball 162* (no I didn't make that second one up lol).

He is just ridiculously gifted at every form of the game, in both attack and defence.

I watched that 162....he was completely and utterly unstoppable. He played shots that quite honestly shouldn't be physically possible

Yeah once they showed how far outside his crease he's batting it looked a lot less out lol

 

[Meth]

geez, that's ugly on the boundary rope

 

[Meth]

awesomely timed shot though.

Smith: 'he may have copped that in the face' he says about a man holding his face.
