4th ODI NZ vs SA

[Dr Crane]

I saw the Harris hit as well although I can't remember what game it was. Wasn't it a cover drive?

I don't remember much of it. I'd only arrived in the ground a few minutes before it and i was right down at ground level.

Well done Kiwis on wrapping up the series.

They havent wrapped it up yet...SA could still draw

How stupid is it to play a 6 game series :?

Hurricane style weather in Auckland. The series is wrapped up.

It says tomorrow is a reserve day so how can you be sure?

I heard on the radio this morning that the Kiwis had wrapped up the series.

Must have been a Kiwi radio station.

Match abandoned due to rain

Play abandoned due to rain

The storms that had been scheduled to hit North Island duly did, and the fifth one-day international between New Zealand and South Africa, at Auckland, was rescheduled to be played a day later, on February 29. New Zealand led the series 3-1, and South Africa desperately needed this match to be played if they were to have a chance of drawing level in the six-match series. The rescheduled game was to be a day game, and not a day-nighter.

Because it is bloody obvious this weather isnt going to stop in a hurry. It would have to be a weather turnaround like i have never seen before in Auckland for play tomorrow.

However, i would love to be proven wrong on tomorrows weather...

Well it's absolute torrential rain here in Welly right now too.

Anyway I remember my dad telling me when I was a boy, that Lance Cairns hit one completely out of the ground, and the ball was found in the doorway of a restaurant. Have any of you guys ever heard of that? If so..any idea which ground it was? My dad used to know Lance, cos my uncles went to school with him in Picton. And he used to come over the house and play in the backyard. My nanna knows him well.

My mates dad cleaned bowled Lance Cairns at an Otago trial.
Apparentley at the trials you would run up bowl to Cairns then dive out of your way for your own security.

This morning is rain, wind fog....no game. Safe bet.

 

[ozbash]

looks like we could possibly have a first ever series win over the boks then ?

 

[Twizzle]

DIG, I saw Lance Cairns hit Dennis Lillee over the square leg boundary, with one hand. Lillee was not impressed.

Its been replayed about a thousand times over the years.

He could hit a ball, that lad, much like his son.

hahaha good call

Dunno where you guys are but out here in the west I've been distinctly unimpressed by yesterdays so-called "storm", and it hasn't rained at all today.
