Cricket Banter

^^ When you consider Southee & Henry took 9-144 at 2.7 & the rest managed 1-205 at 5.1 there's a big drop-off. Boult & Jamieson would walk into any side. Wagner will be 37 soon & maybe past his best, I know that as Yorkshire have a history of signing overseas bowlers of this ilk.

Tim Southee is a very skillful bowler.
Has served his country extremely well down the years in varying conditions around the world. He seems consistently able to generate control where other bowlers often struggle so to do.

South Africa collapsed from 21-0 to 34-6, losing 6-13 in 8.1 overs. Da Silva & Holder added 48, & Joseph had some fun before he was the last wicket to fall.
Another heavy defeat.
