Yep. I thought NZ had the game wrapped up when SA needed about 13 an over the last 4...

For the first time in a long time I was thoroughly dissapointed with the way Fleming read this game. He knew what Pollock and Kemp did to them in the first 2 games, but it seemed as if he didn't much care. He brought the wrong bowlers on at the wrong time....

But...I think his bowlers let him down more than anything else. Remember the 5-1 drubbing the Kiwi's gave the Safricans last year? Well, I reckon it's the wickets. The ones over there were slow. South Africa is still struggling to find a decent spin bowler, and because of that, the pitches here are mainly prepared for the quicker bowlers. The safrican batsmen like the ball to come on to the bat. Otherwise they sweep, push and prod....Until they settle in.

I think Fleming missed a trick that quiet little period when Gibbs and Rudolph were struggling. Gibbs is still not back to form, and Rudolph completely out of it. Fleming should have attacked then. A quick wicket there would have put the SA batsmen coming in under a lot of pressure.

Anyway, Bond is a bit dissapointing. I reckon I expected him to come and rip apart the South African batting line up.

And Speartackle...I think some of your top order should leave the fishing outside their off-stump for when they return home later for their holidays....
