Commentary has been awesome, KW and Steyn in the box.

Should have players in the com box more often.

Agreed. NZ commies have got to be the best. Love having players in the box.

Just now saw this thread , completely forgot today was a game

 

[Justcrazy]

Vettori would make the Kiwi team even more stronger

 

[Justcrazy]

44 from 38 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

Duminy making the chase easy here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Boult back for final over.

can he get one wicket here

 

[Justcrazy]

30 from 30 balls , with six wickets in hand

 

[leatherface58]

Saffers too strong.

 

[KarachiKing]

AB De Villers is a genius. Has an inbuilt calculator

Reminds me of Inzy. Cool as a cucumber in the run chase

 

[Justcrazy]

AB playing like a king again , what a class this guy is.

he is better batter as well as cricketer than Inzamam.

The kind of shots he can play no one else can. He is the best in the world.

completely agree bro, don't think there are many innings if at all that inzi remain not out while chasing and pak didn't won, he was the best Odi chaser for Pak and one of the best in the world alongside kohli, dhoni, and bevan or devilier.

 

[Justcrazy]

AB just toying with the bowling here.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA just one blow away from win now

 

[KarachiKing]

AB didnt break a sweat!

 

[Justcrazy]

scores level

 

[Space Cat]

Had work so missed most of the game. NZ batting looks a bit flimsy without Taylor and Williamson.

 

[Justcrazy]

and that is all over

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Saffers too strong.

Take AB out and that batting lineup is just very very weak.

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa won by 6 wickets

 

[menace2society]

Can't wait for the NZ series to do some minnow bashing.

 

[Zeshan547]

Take AB out and that batting lineup is just very very weak.

well said bro, and if taylor and williamson were also playing south africa would definitely chasing 280 plus, and don't think they would have chased that easily.

 

[menace2society]

De Villiers is beast.

 

[IAJ]

Easy peasy for proteas.

Kiwis missing some key players so the struggle was kind of expected. I feel they have too many bits&pieces players and an completely out of form opener in Guptill.

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] what are your thoughts of Latham?

He's good, but not sure if compatible with Corey.

 

[Aman]

He's good, but not sure if compatible with Corey.

He'll probably take the opening spot if Guptill and Neesham don't seal it.

 

[Saurav]

He'll probably take the opening spot if Guptill and Neesham don't seal it.

What's the scene with Ryder?Neesham is better suited as a finisher imo

He has serious discipline issues, that's the only reason he's out.

Guptills form may force Hessons hand. They're apparently in touch.

Yeah apparently he's in the picture for Pakistan ODIs
