2nd ODI | New Zealand vs South Africa | October 24, 2014 | Mount Maunganui (NZ)

[hussain.r97]

Miller gone. [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] is it a choke now?

 

[Aman]

Another one.

Anderson on a hattrick lol

Epic fail from SA in finishing

 

[Aman]

It's somewhat of a Choke. I like calling it that

No it isn't.

Just poor batting and smart bowling.

 

[Aman]

Should have gone full

 

[Suleiman]

Pakistan ka bhoot South Africa pay char gaya

 

[Fastandfurious]

Is it always windy in NZ?

 

[Aman]

Is it always windy in NZ?

Nope.

 

[hussain.r97]

NZ have done well to restrict them to 282 after they looked like 320+

 

[hussain.r97]

Is it always windy in NZ?

It's spring right now, so it's generally more windy than usual. It's only always windy in Wellington

 

[Buffet]

Pathetic batting by SA in death overs.

230 for 2 with 7-8 overs to go, 310-320 was pretty much on without any out of the world knock.

 

[Ahson8]

NZ have restricted SA well, but SA should still win.

 

[hussain.r97]

NZ have fought back well...

 

[SwingNSeam]

Great bowling at the end there by the kiwis.

SA needs to get rid of bits and pieces players. Keep Rossouw at 4-5 and get 2 genuine all rounders who can hit big at 6-7. Miller isn't the answer because he can't bowl. Mclaren isn't a good enough bat. Duminy can be kept until a better replacement.

Just needed to play sensibly, shot selection was awful you looked to slog everything for 4 or 6.

Batting order is one thing but shot selection was really poor by pretty much everyone. All of them were batting as if they were on mission to get out as quickly as possible. I feel Miller is kind of wasted by rigid batting order most of the time.

I agree. With 8 wickets in hands, you can easily get 9-10 runs an over without doing anything great. One big shot and singles will take you there. Actually, we need one good finisher coming after AB. Today, it's fine but lack of a good finisher makes it difficult in big games where you get only one chance.

 

[KarachiKing]

Some shockign fielding by the Saffers

their standards have dropped

 

[KarachiKing]

Its such a pleasure to watch the Saffers pace attack

 

[Aman]

Two tuk tuks...

Hope this is the last we see of Guptill and Neesham opening together.

Might be tough, but if Guptill doesn't find form back quick, he'll probably find himself on the sidelines for the WC.

 

[KarachiKing]

Guptill is one of the most talented NZ bats at the moment i think.

who do you think is gonna make way for Taylor and Kane. Brownlie seems a waste of space. Hows Latham been dowing?

 

[f.b.m]

Giving AB his first international wicket would inspire a lot of confidence for NZ in the world cup.

 

[f.b.m]

I can see why WA discarded Brownlie.

 

[hussain.r97]

Wow! we need Williamson and Taylor back asap!

 

[Justcrazy]

Tough chase for Kiwis here.

 

[Swanny]

Kiwis cant bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cannot believe AB got a wicket also .

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis cant bat.

They are not consistent , but when they bat , they bat oppositions out of game

 

[Justcrazy]

five down already

 

[Convict]

I can see why WA discarded Brownlie.

We didn't discard Brownlie.

He was never considered good enough to ever play for us

 

[Justcrazy]

71.5

20 overs

We didn't discard Brownlie.

Southee gone

 

[Convict]

Western Australia's Luke Ronchi getting let down again

 

[desi_launda]

NZ bashed India for fun but struggling against the big teams

 

[Justcrazy]

This is heading towards a huge loss for kiwis.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ronchi on .

 

[Justcrazy]

[Nikhil_cric]

SA is quite overrated in LOI's these days. Far cry from 90's, early 2000's ODI team who used to dominate others.

 

[Justcrazy]

200 up for Kiwis

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership worth 75 runs here

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander gets the final wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa won by 72 runs

 

[Swanny]

Aussie reject saves nz another embaressement

 

[mastermind_quad]

ABD got two wickets WoW

 

[Aman]

Aussie reject saves nz another embaressement

Should have had tailunt there, I'm sure he would have done well to replace Taylor

 

[Aman]

Western Australia's Luke Ronchi getting let down again

WA Ronchi was mud for the first half of his international career, a season or two in the NZ circuit has turned his career around.

 

[Aman]

NZ bashed India for fun but struggling against the big teams

Take 3 of your best players out of the side and see how they perform.

NZ don't have the depth to replace them easily either.

 

[IAJ]

This must be boring for SA, no fight from kiwis whatsoever.
