South Africa vs New Zealand Cricket World Cup 2007 Super 8

SA 193 off their 50 overs.A fair effort seeing the ball was fizzing
around a bit on a damp pitch and overcast conditions prevalent.Shane
Bond was outstanding and was basically unplayable.The way Graeme Smith
got out was poor,playing away from his body and spooning an easy catch
to cover going for 1.AB still way to inconsistent going for a
duck.Franklin trapping him with excellent swing bowling.The tactics
were outstanding from Fleming and SA would be so much better if they
had an innovative captain like him who thinks outside the box not
afraid to take risks.Case in point Gibbs and Kallis were beginning to
gain the upperhand over the seamers and he brings on the spinners who
immediately tied SA down.Jeetan Patels first 8 overs going for only
16.SA showing him way to much respect.Also the introduction of
Mcmillan was genius as he took 3 vital wickets.It could be interesting
match if the new ball does as much as for SA like it did for NZ.
