The collapse and the injury to Smith hasn't helped you at all but you are still in a goood position after bowling NZ out for a decent score. You are still in control of the match, I feel. Good presentation mate

Stephen Fleming,bowled Steyn for 23 runs off 30 deliveries with 4 fours.
Micheal Papps,not out for 14 off 26 deliveries with 3 fours.

Craig McMillian,not out for 6 runs off 17 deliveries with 1 four.
Oram was a important wicket,but lunch snuck up on us and Oram and McMillian stayed there.
The only sign of life on the pitch was a ball that jagged back in to Oram and took the inside edge though past the stumps.

Craig McMillian,caught&bowled Pollock for 17 runs off 33 deliveries with 3 fours.

Jacob Oram,not out for 26 runs off 56 deliveries with 3 fours.

A smashing shot by Oram over Terbrugge's head started an avalanche of runs off Terbrugge,forcing him to be taken off the attack.
Kallis and Klusener were bowling well when Oram knicked one!!!
But it was wide of the solitary slip in.
Oram capitalised and got his first milestone.
Jacob Oram,50* off 93 deliveries.
He then celebrated with a six!!!
Astle started to play shots too and they easily brought NZ to tea.
He then came out after tea and shot his fifty.

Soon after that they brought up the hundred parternership,but the rescue effort was broken soon after at 5-199.
Nathan Astle,caught Gibbs bowled Ntini for 55 runs off 86 deliveries with 8 fours.
Jacob Oram,not out for 74 runs off 130 deliveries with 8 fours and 1 six.

Jacob Oram,not out for 74 runs off 130 deliveries with 8 fours and 1 six.

Nice work.

Great result for you mate, after your great first innings score, you were definitely on top. Hopefully your winning form can be in all the matches you play. 
Good presenation, bladescape. Perhaps try and bold or italic the wickets to give them more of an importance over the events. Just a thought mate, but good work.

First Day:
Despite losing last match,Fleming still went ahead with sending us into field again.
Papps was stodgy and Fleming subdued,but they somehow managed to survive Steyn and Ntini without so much as a chance!
The innings was beginning to take a very useful start when Terbrugge broke the spell with a short of a length ball that Papps chopped back on.1-45.
Micheal Papps,bowled Terbrugge for 8 runs from 48 deliveries.
Stephen Fleming,not out for 27 runs from 41 deliveries with 4 fours.
It suddenly changed the complextion of the game with the New Zealanders suddenly finding themselves unable to play the fluant strokes that Fleming was churning out.
It wasn't long until McMillian decided that this just wasn't working and he tryed to smash one back over Pollocks head.
It only found his hands.2-48.
Craig McMillian,caught & bowled Pollock for 1 run from 10 deliveries.
Stephen Fleming,not out for 29 runs from 50 deliveries with 4 fours.
The strokes suddenly flowed again with Oram striking out.
Fleming suddenly played shots with confidence and quickly reached 50.
Stephen Fleming,50* from 87 deliveries.
They saw NZ through to lunch.
The next target acheived was the 100 mark and a 50 parternership.
Fleming was being a pain again and Oram wasn't being easy to get out.
Finally Kallis was called on and like magic Fleming suddenly played a false stroke and got caught at short leg.3-107.
Stephen Fleming,caught Gibbs bowled Kallis for 64 runs from 106 deliveries with 11 fours.
Jacob Oram,not out for 22 runs from 31 deliveries with 3 fours.
Sinclair came in and runs didn't flow from his bat ala Oram and Fleming.
Kallis didn't waste much time before he removed Sinclair as well.4-125.
Matthew Sinclair,lbw Kallis for 9 runs from 27 deliveries with 1 four.
Jacob Oram,not out for 30 runs from 54 deliveries with 4 fours.
Jacob Oram didn't fuss from there.
He had Astle with him and they both pushed forwards to reach Oram's 50.
Jacob Oram,50* from 90 deliveries.
The next target was a half century parternership.
Astle was steady,but Ntini out foxed him.
Ntini went wider of the crease and zipped a yorker straight through the batsmans defences.5-187.
Nathan Astle,bowled Ntini for 27 runs from 46 deliveries with 3 fours.
Jacob Oram,not out for 65 runs form 105 deliveries with 8 fours.
The next objective for NZ seemed to be getting to the tea break as Oram and the new batsman,Fulton,started slowing down.
Steyn almost got Oram as he was put down on 71 by Kallis,but he motored on as though nothing had happened.
The fifty parternership came up soon after that with Oram yet again in the lead.
Yet again though,SA struck the other end.
Fulton prodding tentatively at one and knicked it to the keeper from Pollock to dissolve yet another promising start.6-245.
Peter Fulton,caught De Villiers bowled Pollock for 28 runs from 65 deliveries with 3 fours.
Jacob Oram,not out for 95 runs from 145 deliveries with 12 fours.
Oram wasn't much bothered as McCullum came in and just kept up his rate.
It wasn't long before he had his helmet off and was saluting the crowd to celebrate a fine 100.
Jacob Oram,100* from 150 deliveries.
But even then,down the other end McCullum struggled with the new ball and Klusener wrapped up his innings.7-281.
Brendan McCullum,bowled Klusener for 18 runs from 45 deliveries with 2 four.
Jacob Oram,not out for 113 runs from 176 deliveries with 14 fours.
Franklin survived with Oram to give New Zealand dominence on day one.
Near the end I actually broke note board in frustration at Oram.
He was getting back at SA for the first test loss.
I'm hoping for a turn around tomorrow.
