NZ lose 4 for 0.

6/133 - Philander and Steyn 3 each.

Ed: Philander gets another one. Kiwis have lost 5 for 0. :eek::eek:

7 for you know what.

5 for none, unbelievable collapse even by NZ's standards.

Gone from looking like making 300 plus to struggling to make 150.

And here I was thinking it was a mistake taking Tahir off when McCullum got out and Williamson walked in....

I suppose there hasn't been one of these since the Gabba in December, so it was always a matter of time.

He's a nasty piece of work Steyn, just brutal. Cross seam head hunter.

When he bowls his outtie though, he drops his pace to around 135.

I think NZ might be sending an SOS to Jesse Ryder for the 3rd test, I know he hasn't been in great form but surely he couldn't be much worse than some of their other top order batsmen.

Jesse is on an indefinite break from cricket due to 'stress' I believe

Haha! Gillespie hits a 6 without even being able to see the ball when he hit it. Some lucky and valuable runs being scored here. Both of them going at ever ball now.

Ryder wouldn't solve anything. He's often a major part (read: instigator) of these collapses.

No doubt he is relieving his stress with the help of a few beers. It's a shame he can't get his shit together as he has the talent to be a world class batsman which NZ desperately need.

Good fightback from Van Wyk and Gillespie but NZ are still going to be well short of a competitive total.
