[Springbokfly]

A kiwi fightback on the cards? nah won't happen

 

[Hallatia]

Watling's gone, I can't see New Zealand making many more runs from here. But they did pass 74, so power to them

 

[Patorick]

Neesham's out.

:lol::lol: shut up with your patronizing bullshit. If there is one thing you can count on in world sport, it is a South African ODI side choking at any opportunity.

[attila_the_gorilla]

I've seen a few match winning knocks from Franklin, in short-version cricket.

Halla doing her best BunniesTard Impersonation :lol:

 

[IanG]

Sounds like a miracle. When I went to bed last night I thought they were just going to disintegrate

Good win, well bowled McClenaghan and about time Franklin showed his abilities. One thing, Martin Guptill should behead Rob Nichol in the dressing room, running him out for a diamond duck by 2 metres - woeful and selfish call for a single. Brendan McCullum from all reports was genuinely cheesed off that he couldn't review his leg before decision, although obviouls he is a bloke who has no regard for his team and uses it recklessly for his own benefit, its extremely annoying that a key wicket could not be reviewed due to poor South African infrastructure. South African Cricket need to do a full review of its outpost grounds - all good and well to take international cricket to the smaller cities, but unless they can be sure they have the facilities then they should not be getting the games. The ICC also need to look at what contingencies are put in place in a situation like that. All of a sudden run outs, stumpings, and DRS 3rd umpire reviews were all futile. A tough decision either way could have cost a team that game.

that 74 comment was making fun of Australia, not patronising New Zealand. I thought 208 was a poor showing, but after the early wickets I really didn't think New Zealand would make the runs, I'm not upset that they won though. I want New Zealand to be better and they should be capitalising when the opportunity is presented. Tremendous effort from Franklin to hang in there and prove me wrong

to be fair, when the power outage happened, New Zealand and South Africa were informed that DRS technology was not available for that time. I didn't see the McCullum wicket, but from what I've read, it might have been a wasted review. From what I've read it does seem like that ground is inadequate for this type of event

SuperSport to investigate cause for blackout
Firdose Moonda
January 19, 2013

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has apologised for the worldwide break in transmission during the ODI between South Africa and New Zealand in Paarl but does not have an explanation for the blackout. Instead, host broadcaster SuperSport International will investigate the reasons and report back to CSA as soon as possible.

"The loss of transmission was due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of CSA," the organisation said in a statement. "The matter is currently being addressed by our host broadcaster to avoid a repetition of what transpired. SuperSport International will investigate the matter and furnish CSA with a detailed report."

Television coverage was first interrupted after 7.1 overs and repeated breaks accompanied by a power cut punctuated the first 25 overs of New Zealand's innings. A source at the ground told ESPNCricinfo that the initial problem was caused by the broadcaster's generator malfunctioning.

The subsequent electricity outage occurred because when the broadcaster allegedly attempted to use stadium power whose capacity was quickly exhausted, according to the source. The entire media centre operated in the dark for a period of time. SuperSport told ESPNcrinfo that while they are waiting for a detailed report from people in the outside broadcast facilities they understand the power cut at the stadium came first and then a technical problem in the van. They also apologised for the interruption.

It was during the power cut that Brendon McCullum was given out lbw off Rory Kleinveldt's bowling. The delivery struck him on the back foot, after angling in. McCullum spoke to the on-field umpire about referring the decision as New Zealand still had their review in hand.

McCullum was then informed DRS could not be called upon because there was no electricity. CSA said all relevant parties were informed that the technology could not be used until the problem had been rectified. "During the break in transmission no DRS was available to be utilised by the match officials and the umpires did inform the players on field as such," their statement read.

Repeated cuts followed before the situation stabilised in the second half of New Zealand's innings. Paarl is not the only ground to have been affected by power cuts this summer. The Twenty20 against New Zealand on December 23 in East London was interrupted when one of the floodlight pylons stopped working.

Both venues are regarded as "smaller grounds," a definition imposed on them because they are unlikely to host Test matches (although Buffalo Park has done so in the past against Bangladesh) and they are on a rotation system to host other internationals. With CSA's aim to spread the game throughout the country, both have hosted matches for a second successive summer but problems like these may put that status at risk.

Now South Africa are only one game away from losing a series at home to the 9th ranked ODI side in the world missing 4 out of their 5 best ODI players, so effectively a B 9th ranked side. Now that would be something to made fun of about I reckon ;-)

 

[Hallatia]

New Zealand shouldn't be 9th ranked in ODIs, they are better than that in that format and deserve to be higher up in the rankings for it

 

[Horrie Is God]

I went to bed after N McCullum got out but taped the finish..

Just finished watching it..

Franklin was a great knock,but lucky with the catch referral..

Kyle Mills knock was as impressive as Franklin's considering he is a 10..

Sets up the series nicely..

I'm sure many here will laugh, but this is pretty ridiculous, every player fined 100% of their match fee for this. I agree with severe sanctions for overrates, but this is over the top

de Villiers suspended for two ODIs for slow over-rate in Paarl
Sun, Jan 20, 2013

outh Africa captain AB de Villiers has been suspended for two ODIs while his players have been fined 100-per-cent of their match fees for maintaining a slow over-rate during their one-wicket defeat against New Zealand in the first ODI in Paarl on Saturday.

David Boon of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the suspension after the Proteas were ruled to be six overs short of their target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration.

De Villiers pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction so there was no need for a formal hearing.

In accordance with Article 2.5.2 and Appendix 2 of the ICC Code of Conduct (the "Code"), which deals with serious over-rate offences, the captain receives two suspension points while the players are fined 10-per-cent of their match fees for each of the first two overs short and 20-per-cent for every additional over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.

Two suspension points in the Code equates to a suspension from one Test or two ODIs, to be applied to the subsequent International Matches in which the player sanctioned is most likely to participate in.

As such, de Villiers has been suspended for the next two ODIs to be played in Kimberley and Potchefstroom on Tuesday 22 January and Friday 25 January, respectively, while his players have been fined 100-per-cent of their match fees.

If de Villiers is found guilty of a second serious over-rate offence in an ODI over the next 12 months, he will receive a sanction of between two and eight suspension points as per the provisions of the Code.

The charge was laid by on-field umpires Enamul Haque-Moni and Shaun George, third umpire Aleem Dar and fourth official Johan Cloete.
