Black Caps v South Africa
-
Early wickets will be important as Miller is playing so SA bats much deeper than in game 1.
I'm sure the pitch will quicken up as well under the sun. Sodhi and Santner will be the keys during those middle overs as Tahir was expensive by his standards. Hopefully CdG and Neesham can bowl tightly as well.

On the plus side, we've got the 5th bowler out the way early today - 20 overs bowled and Neesh/Kane/CdGh have bowled 10 for 46.
We're going to need the specialist spinners to take control - otherwise CdGh is going to have to bowl more.
So far, Ish is not looking unplayable and is getting knocked around pretty easily. 14 off his first two overs.

Massive wicket. I thought the Saffas were in cruise mode with 2 down and the scoreboard clicking over nicely at above 4.5 an over. But two quick wickets and a couple of fresh batsmen has us back in it. Two dangerous batsmen in here though!

Love the dartboard design with the mowing.

Probably is when the opposition have ABdV at the wicket. You've got to get him out or you're going to lose. But this isn't a complete road.
Paying the price a bit for Broom's cheap dismissal - held off our charge for a few more overs and then we didn't get any massive overs to get us over 310.
