The great man at it again!!

:lol:

I don't hate NZ just your trolls. I want you to win against the choking pricks

 

[Hallatia]

Doug Bracewell solid with the bat so far

 

[Hallatia]

This University Oval seems like a suburban ground. It doesn't even have floodlights

 

[Hallatia]

Bracewell on his highest score now - 15* including 3 4s

 

[Hallatia]

Another boundary for Bracewell and New Zealand are closing in on a lead. The good news for South Africa is that the new ball is due soon and Vernon should clean up with it

 

[aussies1st]

Bracewell living up to his batting talent today.

 

[Hallatia]

I think Steyn has been a bit off today. Vernon and Morne to be given the second new ball

 

[Hallatia]

review in progress. New Zealand get luck with umpires call on where it's pitching. Great over from Morne regardless. And South Africa have used up their reviews

 

[Hallatia]

New ball taken, Morne has it as I expected.

 

[Hallatia]

Vernon has the other end. Love it when Smith listens to me. Not that there was any doubt Vernon would have the new ball from one end. And there is his first wicket with the new ball. van Wyk gone for 36. New Zealand 229/7, trail by 9

 

[Hallatia]

Vernon gets his second with the new ball, identical dismissal too. New Zealand 229/8 and this could be another test 5fer for Vernon Philander - he's on 4 now

 

[aussies1st]

Vernon having a fast bowlers dream playing on all these seamer friendly decks. Will help him break some records.

 

[Hallatia]

Steyn has the ball now. I don't really agree, but he needs to redeem some ordinariness in this session. He did start this over well

he didn't get a 5fer in last test, but he got 2 in his previous one, so one here would be 5 test 5fers in his first 5 tests

 

[Earl]

he didn't get a 5fer in last test, but he got 2 in his previous one, so one here would be 5 test 5fers in his first 5 tests

No 5-fer in his last test?

Should have been dropped imo.

 

[Hallatia]

well, he didn't play the next test, the South Africa camp said is was injury related, but he probably was axed for failing to make another 5fer

 

[Hallatia]

New Zealand take the lead, then Steyn takes his first wicket. New Zealand 239/9, lead by 1. Bracewell gone for 25

 

[Hallatia]

New Zealand finish the day ahead by 5 with 1 wicket left in hand

Not that shocking really, Lords and Bellrieve only got floodlights the last 5 years, alot of the English grounds dont have floodlights either.

First innings lead to the Kiwi's, well played.
