Nathan Astle's expected to be back for that too -- he's playing first-class cricket this weekend.

 

[jonah]

Sadistic, when's Bond due back? In time for the England tour?

 

[Rangeela]

Astle unlikely to play ODIs against South Africa

 

[Sadistic_Shyte]

Yeah, unfortunately Astle's knee swelled up over night before the state cricket final today, and he missed the match. He had to get a cortizone injection, but it's another setback and he'll probably miss out on selection now for the squad to play South Africa.

No word on Bond yet -- he has said he's aiming for the England tour though, yeah.

Result: South Africa won by 5 wickets

[jonah]

Looks like either SA cut that fine or timed it to perfection with 2 balls to spare!

2nd ODI

Toss: South Africa

South Africa 253/8 (50 ov) (Smith 80, Rudolph 42, Boucher 40) (Tuffey 2/47, Mills 2/37, Cairns 2/35)
New Zealand 255/5 (45.1ov) (Fleming 108, McMillan 71*) (Ntini 3/45)

Result: New Zealand won by 5 wickets

Man of the Match: SP Fleming

Series: 6-ODI series level 1-1

 

[madmattg]

New Zealand are so inconstistant.

They kick then fail time after time.

Sounds like the All Blacks

 

[Sadistic_Shyte]

Nah, it's more to do with Fleming. If he fires, we always get home. He's scored six hundreds now, all chasing, and we've got home every time. The problem is, if he goes early, the rest of them fold as well.

3rd ODI

Shaun Pollock hit three sixes in the last over against New Zealand at Wellington, but it wasn't enough

Toss: South Africa

New Zealand innings (38 overs maximum) 254/5 (Papps 67, Styris 45*)
South Africa innings 249/7 (38 overs) (Gibbs 69, Prince 45*) Vettori 2/41)

Result: New Zealand won by 5 runs

Man of the Match: SB Styris

Series: New Zealand leads the 6-ODI series 2-1

 

[Sadistic_Shyte]

Hell of a match, great win for New Zealand. McCullum and Styris put on 80 in the last 4 overs in 28 minutes.
