New Zealand v/s South Africa - First Test - Match Thread

[apocalypse]

Shane Bond picks up De Villiers...

[Cricketics]

6h down too.. lovin it... this series is one to watch out for

[Donny]

All out 226. Bond 4/73 Martin 3/67 Vettori 2/26 (18 overs)

[Gambit]

Good effort from NZ. I think after NZ complete their first innings, it will only be a slender lead for either side. It's going to be a one inning showdown.

[Gambit]

41/2 End of day. Fleming and Bond(NW) batting. Tomorrow is going to be mighty interesting.

love test matches in SA because of how much fun the quicks have .... 300 is a fantastic score there

[Donny]

NZ 4/82. Fleming out to Ntini for 40.

[Mr. Wicket]

Styris fell to a loose waft v. Kallis, and now Oram goes to a snorter from Steyn, fending to second slip. Beautiful bowling from Steyn, 84/6

[Donny]

7/88. Kallis has 2/6. Steyn 3/28.

[sm332]

118 AO .... the game is good as over unless Bondy rolls these chaps over for less than 125

[Dirty_South]

Sa 20/2

[apocalypse]

9.4 Martin to Kallis, no run, ouch.... Martin digs in the bouncer, Kallis takes his eyes off the ball and doesnt time his duck well. The ball hits him flush on the helmet and lobs towards forward short-leg Kallis is changing his helmet. The first one could well be damaged... Will Kallis send Martin a bill for that? That was a very nasty delivery

[Dravid]

guess who leading the ss

[guju24]

NZ got raped in first innigs...i think NZ only good at home side by making unsporting wickets which lead the game to end in 3.5 days...:)

[Dravid]

loooool... i checked the teams of top 15 ppl... none have amla :hahaha: i do :P

[Donny]

Amla takes SA to a 300 lead. 2/195. Amla 95* Kallis 82*

[apocalypse]

Good for you Amla scores a ton

[Donny]

JK going off. :regular_smile: 2/257. Kallis 151* Amla 108*

[Mr. Wicket]

Kallis is a relentless run machine.

[Donny]

300 partnership. 429 lead.
