New Zealand v S Africa

Hopefully NZ will win and make SA really sweat to get into the semis.
 
SA will win this one but really SRL looks like the only team capable of beating Aussies at the moment.

Don't think that would happen, Aussie batting order is too strong and our batting order could easily collapse. We need to get over 300 if we are to have any sort of chance.
 
in the words of the lady sitting in front of me during the ENG/NZ game...

LET'S GO PEEWEES! LET'S GO! LET'S GO...what?...oh...LET'S GO KIWIS! LET'S GO!

I'd say NZ knows how to beat Aussie better than SL do; you only have to cast your mind back to the chappell hadlee series earlier this year, where we twice chased scores over 300.

You've got a couple of fairly crucial injuries.

Yup we do, however Gillespie is back, Taylor is back, and Tuffey was not bowling well anyway. The main loss is Vincent and it is a big loss, however Fulton is a good batsman and I followed him for a long time and have a lot of faith in him.
 
If Gibbs sticks around, and Kallis departs, they could still make 250.

i wish he wouldn't do that.
 
He does it due to his migraines.
NZ doing very well 138-4.

The cricket has been going well so far and Fleming is a captaining genius. Hope the football goes well too.
 
The batting for SA was nothing short of atrocious

And their bowling wasn't any better

Andre Nel was a fecking cock, and Ntini was totally off
I won't even talk about Mr. Gingerhair Pillock
 
To be fair, didnt the pitch have a lot to do with these last two results. New Zealand come off looking great here but didnt they lose in exactly simlar fashion against lanka because theconditions early on were bloody difficult?
 
Yeah, with these conditions, winning the toss becomes a bit too important for my liking.
