New Zealand v South Africa, 3xODIs, 21-27 October, 2014

I can't find any more detailed an itinerary on the InterWeb than this at the moment. Anyone know if there's additional clown cricket and Tests on this SAffie tour?

Snoozies going like a bag of poo in this first JAMODI v SAf in Mt Mongo.

wrongkey out for 99 ...wozzie crab

He really stepped it up. With no. 11 Boult hanging around handily at the other end, Raunchy went from 61 to 99 in just 12 balls before Stain got him with his first ball back.

Faf finally fails!!

ABdV taking SAf to a comfortable win.

There are a couple more matches before they come here for some more cricket.

So 3 ODIs (as I had pointed out in the thread heading) but no Tests? How ferkin pointless.

It's a buildup to the Gilly , ya SGDT

It is part of the WC preparation.

South Africa are coming here after this "tour"

SAffers are going well at 2-184 off 35. One imagines the Sheep could be chasing close to 300.

Lordy, the Yarps were cruising at 3-257 with 5 overs to go but lost 6-22 to wobble to 9-282. Perhaps if Mucka goes off, the Snoozies can give this a rattle?

getting in some early choking practice

sheep 3/63

137/9 and two wickets for de Villiers and Tahir....

a pretty dire effort from the sheep

LOL @ Snoozies.

And Hesson reckons they're doing OK without Jesse Ryder, who got a 39-ball ton the other day...

At least Raunchy is in good form for the Sheep. Another good rear-guard effort yesty.

NZ's batting lineup looks line a band-aid job at the moment, with no Taylor and no Ryder. Guptill is a perennial disappointment, Anderson seems to have lost his way, McCullum looks out of nick, and when you promote Jimmy Neesham to open the batting against Steyn, Morkel, and Philander, you're asking for trouble.

Aye Trev, on current form you'd think the Snoozies will finish amongst the minnows in the Gilly.

Good to see you doing your best to help them, anyway.

Yet another duck for Rilee Rossouw. That's something like five in his first seven international innings. Horror start.
