Yeah, very entertaining game. Even when batsmen have spent time at the crease they never look fully in control and are one good ball away from giving a chance, yet the wicket is good enough to reward batting when they choose the right shot to a ball with width. 

Could just do with a NZ wicket here to make things really interesting in the final 10 overs

Should have had one with that edge which the umpire missed and SA didn't review.

And a missed run out there

[Guest Pistonbroke]

It's all happening mate, now an edge and they have removed the slip.

South Africa are3-1 with Skybet to win.

I'd have NZ favourites but I'm not sure by that much!?

As long as Williamson stays at the crease NZ will piss this mate. SA will be out of the competition if they lose, no coming back. I'm not sure Steyn being fit would have made a huge difference as it has been their batting which has let them down, they've been utter shit with the bat. Not helped by Amla scratching around for form.

Think they'll attack (can't spell name) next over if they need 6 or over after that it'll be interesting

SA needed another wicket about 25 runs ago mate. With 5 wickets in hand and two set batsmen NZ will just tick along and hit out if needed in last two overs. They only need 30 from 26 balls. This is a great over from Morris tbf. 

[Bjornebye]

Almost a great over. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Yeah, I spoke to soon, that last ball was creamed by Grandhomme (great name) to bring up his half century. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

That sums up SA.

Normally I'd agree but pressure is on and they haven't been scoring of the other bowlers.

That boundary massively changes things mind

[Colt Seavers]

6 or more off the final over would be nice

Yeah, but this is Rhubarb's last over and Morris has bowled out, as has Tahir.

True. Put a fiver on SA at 16s...not gonna happen but better odds than putting it in the fruity 

[Bjornebye]

Huge over coming up. 

[Bjornebye]

wow

Good luck mate, you might have a sniff as Grandhomme just holes out. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Santner is handy with the bat, if they can get him quickly then game on. Last over without one of your best bowlers will be a big ask though. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Fucking hell, that was close. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Colt might be able to go out on the piss yet. 

[Bjornebye]

Oooooo tense this 

 

Hope SA win for Colt 

[Colt Seavers]

Shit thought this guy had bowled out.
