Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
Is anyone watching the match? I think New Zealand will lose again. If they make 200 South Africa will make 500.

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
Steyn is ripping through them again, looks like they'll struggle to make the 200 at this rate.
I think that NZ may be in for a prolonged spell in the doldrums when it comes to test cricket. They've always been a team which could be said to be more than the sum of their parts but the wheels are starting to come off.

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
South Africa going great guns and Kallis continues his purple patch with yet another century. He's scoring at a very quick pace when compared to his career norm.
Amla seems to be giving some halfway decent support and will be looking to pick up his 3rd ton, and he if gets it, in all likelihood his 1000th test run.
Another one sided game, not really what test cricket needs.

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
Must be annoying for South Africa as bad light has taken them off again, in a very stong position (again).
I rate Kallis very highly but he needs to get that double century, then he belongs in the same sentance as Sobers, in respect to the best ever all rounder. His stats speak for themselves but he needs that big 200!
Still not a fan of Amla and think he will struggle against the better teams but time will tell.
Is Cummings out of the rest of the game? Got a nasty blow from Steyn - nice photo montage of it on cricinfo.

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
Seems a nasty injury, metal plates in the cheek and jaw areas, as well as a night in intensive care.
You always wonder how the player will react mentally to this sort of injury - will it play on his mind the next time he has to face fast bowling? Or will he just cut out the hook and pull?

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
ouch thats got to hurt. how long he'll be out of action? new zealand have a poor side and now they are losing whatever good players they had. they'll only have 10 men in the second innings and by the looks of things they wont be able to make south africa bat again.

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
I am shocked that Kallis hasnt made a double century till now. He is a great batsman and must be very unlucky because he deserves to get a 200.

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
Bit of a comeback by New Zealand there, reducing South Africa to 7 down.
Still, will they even be able to set South Africa a target of more than 100 or 150? Especially as they only have 10 batsmen, with Cummings absent.

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
Yeah, they are hanging around a bit too much for the liking of New Zealand. Should take South Africa over the 200 runs in front mark though.
Gillespie with a 5fer, although too little, too late?

Re: South Africa vs New Zealand
SA all out for 383, so a lead of 195. Can't see NZ getting much more than 300 (if that).
Best they can hope for is a draw but they need to bat out for 6 of the 8 sessions left at least.
