Black Caps v South Africa

[Chris B.]

@bayimports Southee doesn't follow my good advice, but Phillips knocks over de Swardt cheaply, anyway.

One more and we've opened up an end.

[bayimports]

hmmm.....perhaps if I keep saying we will be chasing 300+ , we are bowling pies

[Chris B.]

Finally get Bedingham - 110 runs later than I wanted - but, a chance to wrap things up cheaply now.

We fucking need to!

[bayimports]

tail will still push lead over 300 ..we wont take anymore wickets today

[MN5]

Nice wee session, Southee takes a bit of a screamer and SA 8 down now.

[Chris B.]

@bayimports And my job is to keep contradicting you...

300+ still possible, no chance of anymore wickets in this over

...too much?

[bayimports]

I missed by one ball..

[bayimports]

no chance in dismissing all by end of play, we will still chase 300+

[Gunner]

One left.

Hats off, the lads have really pulled this back by taking the last 5 wickets for 30 odd.

Going to be a niggly 30-60 minutes (or how ever long is left) to bat.

We’ll be at least one down at stumps, with walking wicket Conway opening - hopefully no more than that.

[Gunner]

5 for Will’O, 9 for the match.

Well done young fulla!

[Chris B.]

@bayimports Good work.

You should apply to Cricinfo to have several test wickets credited to your account for very few runs!

[Gunner]

South Africa with a Black Caps like collapse, losing their last 6 for 33 runs.

Most for a NZer on debut. Beating Mark Craig ( yes really ) who got eight.

Shot young man !!!!

[Cyclops]

Wow, selectors have a real decision to make about the squad for Australia! Although a bit concerning that injuries might decide it for them.

[NTA]

Von Berg just a local saffer walking past Seddon Park during warm-up?

[Cyclops]

267 feels like a pretty evenly balanced chase. We need a big improvement on our first innings, but it's not so much that the South Africans will feel comfortable going all out attacking and not worrying about runs. Given the way this test has gone they're the favourites, but not overwhelmingly and it's probably 'only' going to need one good session to get us back in front.

[Chris B.]

So basically two scores below 250 by South Africa B - glued together by De Swardt and Von Berg in the first innings and Bedingham in the second.

A shithouse first innings by us, requires that we do significantly better in the second innings - but, this shouldn't be beyond us!!!

[Chris]

We should really get this totally one good partnership will break the back of this total.

I am Hoping Conway gets those feet moving and gets that batting alignment right.
We still need him in form v Australia.
