New Zealand's Morning

Image
By


 After day 3 was washed out by rain both teams looked to make time up on day 4.

Day 4 morning went to New Zealand as they took control of the game and continued to look for a victory. They took 4 wickets this morning to reduce England to 6 down at Lunch. Tim Southee got 3 wickets and Jamieson got one.

The day started with Jamieson getting Root of the first ball of the day for 42 of 113 caught by Taylor. Then we had a bit of a partnership between Burns and Pope before Southee got Pope LBW for 22 of 32 and he had Lawrance caught de Gromme bowled Southee 0 of 2 and Bracey on debut 0 of 6 bowled Southee.

The first session of day 4 saw 53 runs scored for the loss of 4 wickets as England went to Lunch on 164/6 with burns unbeaten on 72 of 203 and Robinson on 16 0f 48. This session was New Zealand's as they took the ascendancy in the test match. From here on two results are possible one a New Zealand victory and two a draw. unless England plays some incredible cricket an England victory is very unlikely.

SA20 review

By
 The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage.  The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.  SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining. The young standout SA batsman were:  Rickelton 530 runs ave 58.88, strike-rate 173.77 Breetzke 416 runs ave 32, strike-rate 135.50  Stubbs 301 runs ave 60.20, strike-rate, 168.15   Mulder 297 runs...

Proteas vs England 3rd ODI

By
  The ODI series between Proteas and England ended with a 2-1 win for the Proteas. The series has been competitive and entertaining.  Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl. They started off well but then Buttler and Malan put together a partnership of 232 off 211. This partnership brought England right back into the match as they recovered from 14 for 3 to post 346-7 in their 50 overs.  In reply, the Proteas were always ahead of the scoring rate, the only problem was they lost wickets at regular intervals, which is why they ended up being bowled out for 287. Archer was the star picking up 6-40 of 9.1 overs. England won the match by 59 runs. The Proteas can take a lot of positives from this series as they have given themselves a good chance to gain the last direct qualification spot.  Writer : Ebrahim Yusuf Omar
