World Cup S/F 1, NZ vs SA, March 24

[GarlicJam]

really disappointing this as it was shaping up to be a cracking game

AND I managed to get off work early......

[rich1uk]

starting again in 5 minutes , reduced to 43 overs per side so expect some fireworks from SA with just 5 overs to bat and 7 wickets left

[GarlicJam]

looks like I came inside at the right time.

Also looks like this rain break works in New Zealand's favour, in every way.

breaking SA's charge, 2nd rate bowler's overs totals, and knowing what they will need to chase with knowing their limited overs

yeah , might make it a better game as SA looked like they might bat NZ out of the game the way it was going

[rich1uk]

that looks out

Anderson gets another wicket with a filthy delivery

[Gingerfinch]

Get Miller off strike, then you have AB to contend with.

it says a lot about what miller has done since he came in that NZ are better off bowling to abdv

[Gingerfinch]

Good over, giving them no width.

[rich1uk]

just brutal hitting from miller here

with the D/L adjustment NZ are going to have to chase ~300 in 38 overs

Anderson gets another wicket with a crap delivery , he must be the luckiest cricketer in world cricket, I cant remember a single wicket he has got this tournament where he actually bowled a good delivery, its all been when the late slog has been on

[rich1uk]

281-5 from the 43 overs , so waiting to hear what the D/L adjustment will be, around 20 runs I think

16 runs added so NZ need 298 to win

[GarlicJam]

6.93 an over.

A lot will depend on MacCullum's lenth of time at the crease

[GarlicJam]

Come on, the Kiwi men!!!!

[Gingerfinch]

6.93 an over.

A lot will depend on MacCullum's lenth of time at the crease

He is a big factor, but they do have Anderson, Ronchi, as well as Guptil, Taylor, and Williamson.

Do you think they might change their order slightly?

drop taylor to about 8 with the way he has batted so far
