South Africa definitely favourites from here but hopefully the NZ bats can chase it down. Doable.

 

[Axver]

If any team can chase this it's NZ. BMac needs to play a classic explosive innings while Guppy and Kane anchor things and the likes of Anderson make useful cameos. As long as we can avoid early wickets, I think we are in with a chance.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Well this is definitely a very good start. McCullum's looking better here than he did against the Windies.

 

[Axver]

Go BMac go!

 

[Axver]

What a six off Steyn! That fifty came up fast.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

He's really on. The longer this goes on the better.

Am I watching a T20 game?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

4th bowler on in 5 overs.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Guptill is so lucky. Can't get a hold on Tahir at all.

 

[Axver]

Cheers for wasting your review guys. Great over from Tahir though.

 

[youarenotimmune]

This guy really can bowl. What an over.

 

[Axver]

Oh FUCK. Game on.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Of course that was going to fucking happen. I just knew it. For fuck's sake.

I know it's only 1/71 but this has absolutely screwed NZ's run chase.

 

[youarenotimmune]

Fuck!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Now for 3+ overs of mainly dot balls.

 

[cobl04]

Very poor shot from McCullum. They'd have won at a canter if he stayed in.

But worse was that DRS had that ball bouncing over the stumps. That was smashing into off stump. Ridiculous.

I have two things to say:

Great umpiring from Tucker

And FUCK!!!!

[cobl04]

That was plumb.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

lol NZ are finished. Kane has really sucked this tournament after the Australia win. Almost completely lost his good form.

 

[Axver]

Kaaaane.

 

[Axver]

Ok Taylor time to find some bloody form.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

If there's a positive Taylor knows he can't just make 40 off 70 or whatever.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Taylor you fucking wanker. You FUCKING WANKER. Is there anything this guy does not sabotage?

 

[Axver]

Ross fucking Taylor if you don't now win this single fucking handedly...!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

He has to be the matchwinner to make up for it.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

You might want to start hitting some runs, Ross.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Thanks for absolutely nothing, Taylor. Fucking useless.

 

[Axver]

Taylor you spud.

 

[Axver]

My nerves are through the roof.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Holy shit that was close.
