What's par on this deck? 320?

That would be a good score to defend.

Just mentioned 286 as the par score.

 

[sand_man]

Fair enough.

NZ a bit thin in the batting lineup. No Taylor, Anderson, Brendan...

 

[Beavis]

Excellent platform, can we expect AB to play one of his carnage innings? Me hope so

Hopefully!! Yeah! RR needs to go some now too. Hash to bat through.

This is actually a very under strength NZ team. Bit of a insult to send such an under strength team to SA isn't it?!

Players not present:
Ross Taylor
Tim Southee
Trent Boult
Brendan McCullum
Daniel Vetorri
Corey Anderson

Have I left anyone out?

Both of them must go balls to the ball right NOW!

Need at least 8 per over from here on in.

Well played #!! Excellent knock!! Farhaan could have brushed his hair for team profile pic?

 

[sand_man]

This innings is going to Peter out now. Must get to at least 300.

 

[AirWolf]

258/4 after 45 overs.

Well done Amla.

Hope the "tail" can get us past 300.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Rossouw scored 89, but faced 63 dot balls.

Yoh, this oke has to learn to knock off the singles in between the boundaries!

I think we are about 20 runs short. But let's see.

Poor Steyn....how many must he bowl to get one out?

 

[Vrotappel]

Creating 3 chances in the 1st over, great bowling. Pity about the fielding.

We finally got one on the last ball of the first over .

 

[Dan C]

Seems like batting will become a bit harder as the day progresses.

 

[Dan C]

Good idea to stick with the slip for Philander.

..and another, 2 for Philander now

New Zealand 158/5 (29.5 ov)

 

[Creag]

Fortuitous wicket... but we'll have it

 

[Creag]

New Zealand 243/6 (62 runs required from 42 balls, RR: 5.65, RRR: 8.85)
