Yeah, the risk of backing an overrated South African outfit as well.

Nearly all the odds in one of the betting threads suggest you're not the only one overrating them.

NZ were like 2.10 for this match with SA like 1.70 on a couple that were posted, I'm no fan of NZ but this was a 50-50 game at best for SA because they're as crap as England on slow wickets. As it turns out this wicket seems to be lot more difficult than expected.

Same here :ph34r:

Speaking of 'the fiery one', hasnt his 7-dayer finished already?

It was a 14 dayer, so I don't think he's finished up yet.

Looking good for New Zealand at the death here, we've set ourselves up well so we'd better not let all our good work go to waste by bowling poorly in these last 4 overs. Expect Bond and Patel to get a wicket or two.

This game reminds me a lot of the 1st C-H Trophy game that we had recently, where the Aussie innings never took off, the same has happened with SA (so far).

I would have said 60-40 in favour of RSA. So I dont think the bookys had it too far off for mine

Ahhh, that explains it. A good ole Kiwi-Aussie rivalry is always good but Fiery takes it a bit far some times.

Yes, Bond to bowl 2 of the last 4 so I don't see 200 being reached. Hopefully he can pick up 2-3 wickets to improve that impressive average.

Patel into the attack as you picked it. Should be interesting.

Just being a **** basically. I always remember that argument he had with Gelman in the commentators thread, if I can be bothered I'll dig it out, it always makes funny reading.
