Black Caps v South Africa

@Mokey Where the hell was Fergusson?

[Mokey]

68/7. Holy fucking shit.

Saffas owning us completely. Terrible, terrible batting effort.

[westcoastie]

oh FFS. #outclassed

[Mokey]

six, six, out.

Fuck me days.

[Bovidae]

Just was well Hesson isn't taking this T20 thing seriously.

Even Bruce looked lost when the ball was short of a good length.

[Mokey]

82/8.

Would anyone put money on us making it to 100?

[westcoastie]

Should've given George Worker a lash...

[westcoastie]

Southee will get a useful 40 of 18 now. thus justifying his inclusion for the next two years.

[Mokey]

Patriotic seagull answers the call to take out SA cricketers. Lol.

[Mokey]

106/8. Well I never. At least it won't be a 100 run defeat.

Wheeler gone. 9 down.

[Donsteppa]

People (and Hesson) will come up with all the stats and theories that they like, but this spoke volumes

[TeWaio]

All out 107, Tahir 5-for

[westcoastie]

Oh look Southee got 20 off 6, and then out. No surprises there huh?

[Gunner]

If there wasn't a place for Rosco in this team before this game, there certainly is now!

Maybe he'll play in the top six ahead of Taylor now...

[Chris B.]

Rossco wanted to know what he needed to do to make the team.

Turns out, "Sit on your couch with a beer in hand" is enough.

Given Tahir's success, you've got to think that giving Sodhi a run might have been a reasonable idea.

Missed Guppy, Missed Rossco, Missed Ish.

[mimic]

Munro has 3 ducks in his last 4 innings.

[Gunner]

@westcoastie that 20 off 6 is a fuck load better than most of the rest.
What's he supposed to do, block the rest of the overs and get 10* off 30?

[LABCAT]

Yeah Munro is so hit or miss, that's why he can only play 20/20. Even that is seeming a bit borderline at the moment, If I was the selector I would Taylor at 3 over him.

[Chris B.]

We might have missed two-metre Peter.

Watching the Final of the Ford Trophy (50 over format) and it's been reduced to 20 overs per side due to rain.

Pete's just wound back the clock by scoring the fastest ever century in List-A cricket - off 50 balls (going past BMac's 52 ball record) and carried it on to an unbeaten 114 off 57 balls.

Canterbury have capitalized by posting 199/3.

Wellington will have to bat quite well to chase that down.

I guess they can be thankful for the rain. Using the old double it after 30 overs formula it looks like they would have been chasing 600!!!
