SAf vs NZ 2nd Test

[UJ]

New Zealand 535/8 (152.0 ov)

Fleming 262
J Franklin 93*

For the record Smith won the toss and chose to field first

[Amjid Javed]

haha! looks like he did a nasser hussain!

Flemings knock was superb. When in full flow hes very elegant in his stroke play. Franlkin looked pretty good inbetween the time he was being ruffed up by nel and ntini.

[HAFRIDI]

Wow! Amla is playing !!

[Rob H]

Franklin made a brilliant 122* as New Zealand finish on 593/8. Proteas innings just about to start.

[UJ]

What an innings by both Fleming and Franklin!!!

Although Fleming can be inconsistent, when he is on song he is an absolute joy to watch

[Amjid Javed]

It seems like tail enders around the world are enjoying batting these days.

1st dizzy and now franklin...!

[Rob H]

Vettori's first bal around the wicket and it was a ripper. I expect Patel and Vettori to have some success

[Rob H]

Jeetan Patel on now. Will be interesting to see how he bowls on test debut. He can get some real rip and drift on the ball.

[Rob H]

Patel gets Smith c&b first over. Smith isn't going though yet.

[Rob H]

Got him. Beautifully bowled, he did him in the flight.

[Amjid Javed]

haha! bye bye smith!

[Rob H]

Amla will have a horried time before lunch now. The 2 spinners will test him hard.

[James]

Amla is rubbish. Only thing that's good about him is his beard.

[Rob H]

48/1 at lunch. The kiwis spinners bowling really well.

[Rob H]

90/1 currently. Good start after lunch for the proteas.

[Hash]

Quite typically, cricinfo is not working for me.

How much is Hashim Bradman on now?

[Raz]

111-2

Amla is still there!

33* from 98 balls!!

I have seen him in ODIs, hes quite accurate although his bowling in ODIs was nothing spectacular, kind of in the Shaun Udal mould.

[Hash]

So now we have Hash not out 44 from 114 and Kallis not out 9 from 39.

The crowd must be getting very excited.

If it was an Indian crowd, we could expect some fire works but alas it's not

Well Franklin has a first class high score of 208 so he's not quite in the Dizzy class ;)

[Raz]

Hashim Amla gets his maiden half century in Test cricket!

Well played

[Rob H]

Good innings but i'd really like to see the Kiwis bowl some short stuff at him. He hasn't been tested there yet. He's played the spinners pretty well.

[waquas_uk]

bad light stoped play amla gets his 50.

[Easa]

What an innings by Fleming? 262?

Against an attack of Ntini, Nel, Steyn, Boje, and Kallis thats pretty good going.

Also well played, Hashim Amla.

[UJ]

SAF edging closer to that NZ total

South Africa 409/5 (142)

Prince 66*
Boucher 17*
