well with SA already having a weak 5th bowler they really cant afford one of their main bowlers to be having a bad day

that shot from McCullum just highlights what I have been saying about bat sizes

it was a thick bottom edge, nowhere near the middle of that bat but it still went for four in front of square

McCullum gone , SA needed that as well, another few overs of how he had started and it was almost game over

I thought that was a good review - until I saw how much it was clearing the stumps by. Maybe not so good a review.

BMac goooorrn. Still even, I would say.

Big bats can work against the batsmen though. Quite a few top edges are carrying to the fielders at fine leg/third man now.

I think the benefits are far outweighing the drawbacks

I think that run out may cost NZ this game.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
