Great to have Mark Nicolas around , what did he just say?

"Need to feel bat on ball cause your a human being"

It's not just us, it's basic biology. Haven't you heard of the five Fs mate?

Feeding
Fighting
Fleeing
Fornicating
Feeling bat on ball early in your innings

You're going to miss Mark Nicholas when Pommie comes on.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

A lot of leaving the ball from these two. A bit of old school batmanship, settling themselves in for the long haul and counting on picking up the run rate at the back end.

 

[Bazal]

You're going to miss Mark Nicholas when Pommie comes on.

Hopefully I'll get lucky and fall asleep, or perhaps have a meteor strike Canberra and wipe us all out, before that happens

There's no Clarke in the lineup so my ears will survive the night.

 

[Bazal]

Lol.

Hit that Faf

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Beautiful setup and then a 150k yorker to send Faf packing.

59-2

 

[Bazal]

And then after that thunderbolt from Ferguson, on comes Colin De BigMan

It just gets tougher for SA!

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

If we had brought Wagner the WC would already be over.

There's no better 1-2 punch than Wagner and GrandPlod.

 

[hineyrulz]

SA playing for stumps.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Colin De GavinLarsen giving nothing away with his military mediums.

6 runs off 4 overs.

 

[Eelectrica]

Amla gone. Too early for the night watchman?

 

[Eelectrica]

Boult trying to get on the highlight reel and succeeds... For all the wrong reasons as he spills a sitter trying to make a routine catch look spectacular.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

South Africa end on 241-6.

Disciplined bowling, only 4 wides and no no balls the whole innings.

Not a great score in the modern era, but the pitch looks very tricky and if there's one area NZ might be suspect against it's quality express bowling that South Africa does have.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Kane Williamson the GOAT

 

[Meth]

Great innings that from Williamson. Proof that there’s still room for patience and class in ODI cricket

 

[JJ]

Yeah don't need 400 for a gripping game

Rest of the top order needs to show up though, I do like batting deep like this

 

[Meth]

Obviously CDG put some pressure on us with his rush of blood to the head. That aside, he bowled and batted well. Credit where it’s due

 

[Mr Spock!]

That must be the end of the saffers.
