Re: NZ v SA - First Test match

Interesting contest, Saffies will win it i guess.
Bond could have been the difference but Kiwis may lose an evenly fought TEST.

Never thought Kyle Mills is good enough for ODI's let alone TESTS.

Re: NZ v SA - First Test match

South Africa 276 & 277/9 (91.0 ov)
New Zealand 327

DeVilliers and Kallis were the only 2 SAffie batsmen to cross 50s, rest were all out cheaply. Mark Boucher is the worst of top-league-teams keepers or is it someone else? Kiwis can take this game :k:

Re: NZ v SA - First Test match

Ntini definitive South Africa's best bowler nowadays.

Think the young Dale Steyn might be a good prospect for the future. Bowling at 150km/hr although a bit wild, but Donald was the same when he was young.

The problem for the South African selectors will be who to pick soon. Ntini and a spinner must be in. Then they have to choose 2 from Steyn, Andre Nel and Pollock. Will they throw Pollock aside? I hope not. He is just going through a bad spell lately.
