Test 2022 South Africa Tour of New Zealand (2 Tests)

[Stig O'Hara]

Lazy legside swipe from Conway & he’s off to the shed.

3/51....

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Umpires call saves Mitchell.

Terrific cricket this.

Ed: 2nd review in the over, this looks close too.

....missing.

 

[Plugger35]

A second lbw review against Mitchell.

Probably too high again.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Nicholls flays at a Jansen short ball....and off to the shed he goes.

4/83...

 

[Plugger35]

Nicholls falling for the trap.

Not sure he realised they had moved a fielder there, just hit it straight to him.

 

[Plugger35]

Not a good leave from Blundell and he loses his off stump.

NZ in deep trouble now at 91/5.

Looks very gloomy there though so I wouldn't be surprised if play is called off early.

 

[Bluish]

Shaping as another 1-1 series that could have desperately done with a third test to potentially get a clear result. Like NZ/Bangladesh.

 

[The 747]

So NZ beat SA by an innings last Test. SA might beat NZ by an innings here.

 

[Plugger35]

Shaping as another 1-1 series that could have desperately done with a third test to potentially get a clear result. Like NZ/Bangladesh.

I can understand the Bangladesh series only being 2 tests but the SA series should have definitely been 3 tests.

This test is far from over but a 1-1 series result is looking likely at the moment.

 

[Plugger35]

A good counter attack from de Grandhomme

 

[akkaps]

Just reviewed the Nicholls wicket, weird fielding position that somehow worked for Saffers. Maharaj, I think had set that plan

 

[The 747]

Unsure if Sipalma is talent or trash.....

 

[Plugger35]

A good quickfire 50 from de Grandhomme, he's swung some momentum back NZ's way.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

I’d be checking the batteries in the light meter ump.

 

[Cleavy]

burnt all their reviews within 45 overs

 

[Plugger35]

A good partnership to finish the day from de Grandhomme and Mitchell, SA still on top but they have at least kept NZ in the match.

 

[Plugger35]

Maharaj makes the breakthrough getting Mitchell out for 60.

NZ need the tail to wag and support de Grandhomme who is closing in on a ton.

 

[Plugger35]

A ton for de Grandhomme, a great knock that has got NZ back in the match.

 

[corbies]

Jansen to Jamieson has to be the tallest batsman/bowler combo in history.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Pretty good session for NZ there, but SA still well ahead. NZ just need to get as many as possible. Another 50-60 runs and it will put pressure on the SA batting.

Expect Southee to get himself out immediately after lunch and then CdG to start teeing off.

Expect Southee to get himself out immediately after lunch and then CdG to start teeing off.

Henry and Wagner aren't the worse 10-11 so hopefully we can grind out 300 which would be a great effort after being 90-5

southee never seems to do his batting talent justice. Got a great eye but not the bravest guy going round

 

[akkaps]

Jansen to Jamieson has to be the tallest batsman/bowler combo in history.

Check out Binaru Fernando’s catch of Sanju Samson in last nights game. That catch only a 7+ft person can take

 

[Plugger35]

A typical Southee knock, slogs a few runs and then slogs a catch.

Hopefully Wagner and Henry can show some more resistance.

 

[Plugger35]

NZ all out for 293, SA still have the advantage with a lead of 71 but it's not as big as it looked like being when NZ were 5 down for 91.

 

[Plugger35]

The century maker from the first innings Erwee gone cheaply, lbw to Southee.
