I agree that they weren't great. 160 seemed like a fair target at the halfway mark, I actually don't care whether we win or lose, I just want everyone to have a go and not get injured. I also think that the wicket has a lot to offer our bowlers, who also haven't been great so far. Don't understand why my man Morne hasn't been used it

Wow.

How the f**k has this happened?

Franklin needs 6 off the last ball after the Kiwis needed 7 runs off 100,000 odd balls at one point.

That was choketastic.

It's harsh given he was top scorer, but that loss is Jesse Ryder's fault. He got the yips massively when he was on 49 and wasted an over's worth of deliveries.

perfect last over, it was almost an anti-choke, but I wanted the ball after the last wicket to be a no ball just to add to the story of it, then it was perfect, New Zealand went from needing a six off the last ball to needing a four and still denied.

Whilst T20 don't matter, I am very pleased with how that was handled in the end

Ryder's dream comeback turned abruptly to a nightmare...

Not sure why Franklin didn't go back for a second on the last ball... Southee gets run out but Franklin was timing it sweetly...

What the f**k is up with Botha - that is a diabolical action, surely???

The wicket will have been removed now as there's a rah rah game on between now and the ODI
