    Disappointing performance so far to say the least. Really missing Guptill today.

      Going to take a top bowling performance to get out of this one.
      Boult and co are capable of defending anything if they bowl well.

          LOL. NZ remember how to bat in the last over and get 25 runs. Southee and CDG put on a show. Too bad no one else did apart from Kane.

          Saffas will chase 208, which is at least something to bowl at.

            Best 4 balls Southee has batted since his debut.

              A bit of joy at the end as Morris last over gets smashed and we get to 207.

              Only thing I hope is that that isn't indicative that the pitch suddenly started to play nicely. If it stays tacky and holding, maybe that will be more foreign to the SA batsmen than us.

              Southee giving a bit of credence to my theory that we possibly should promote him to have a hit when we're a wicket or two more down than we want and should be starting the charge, but can't. He apparently plays exactly the same regardless of the position of the game, so he either comes off or he doesn't.

                What am I missing? The commentators are talking like we're in front? Surely in the T20 age that's like 60 too short?

                  Yeah it's only de kock, Amla and AB chasing our score. No doubt we will roll them within 20 overs for an easy win

                    If we don't get both these guys out inside of 5-10 overs, we are so fucked. They are making it look super easy.

                          Our bowling seems to lack both penetration and economy. Bit concerning for the rest of the tour.

                            It's a good SA side. No shame in losing. Shame in getting rogered.

                            Having said that, how the hell did Santner not get an edge the way he is bowling. He's unplayable at the moment

                                From four down to five down.

                                    Good batting by Phelekweyo - those two sixes he hit were stone cold killers.

                                    Interesting questions for Hesson about how to select the team for the next game.

                                    We do miss Guptill!

                                        Instead of bowling or trying to bowl six yorkers at the end, I really have no idea what Kane and Southee were trying to do. A major fuck up.

                                          He was trying to bowl slower balls which are quite effective. Boult bowled some nice yorkers but he also got hit for six and Southee doesn't have Boult's control.
