SA v NZ (2nd Test)

Can the Kiwi's bounce back ??

Smith electing to bowl ???
First time since 1939 that the toss winning skipper has elected to bowl @ Newlands....

Ntini is The Man - 265 for 6 is pretty decent, as long as they can get Fleming out early and polish off the tail I'd say they would be in for a good shout.

looks like they are going to post 350 odd.

We can't seem wipe out the tail anymore. Dropping catches like it's Monday morning practice doesn't help either - this has been the biggest problem with SA cricket this season. Catches and our top order failing.

Fleming is looking in good nick (haha). The only reason SA can lose to this NZ side if is Fleming posts a massive score, which he is doing now.
The kiwis have a chance, but I think this test might end a draw. Bad light ruins winter month tests all the time in Cape Town...

NZ have a good score now - past 400.
Looks like a poor decision to field first.

Dropped Fleming on 130 odd and Franklin on 28 I think.

Doesn't matter, Fleming has lost this test. He should've declared on 450 or so. There is no way SA is going to lose 20 wickets in the 15 or so hours of play left in this test.

Third Test anyone?
SA win the toss, put NZ in and NZ are now 0/2 😲
Wicket each for Steyn and Ntini - nightmare for NZ.
