This is why I love cricket. What a game. Congrats to South Africa but I will never understand going into a cricket match with only 4 bowlers. I don't even know when this trend started but SA's part-timers went for 64 runs in 8 overs. But When Dale Steyn goes for nearly 9 and over and can't defend 12 runs in the last over you know it's not your day. Good luck next time South Africa.
Huge congrats to New Zealand, just one more game now. Come big in that and make you nation proud. Elliot (born South African) came up huge, Vettori what a player. Anderson and obviously McCullum's initial burst (if they win the game it's great but if you lose then the fault will fall on McCullum). The bowlers controlled the game early on but you knew AB/Miller/Faf were going to put up a decent total.
On to the two bullies of the cricket world.
