South Africa v New Zealand, Centurion, 2nd day

By Will 2 years ago, mid-April, No Comments; be the first!

I had little enthusiasm for this game today. Waking up at 7am on Easter Sunday is hard enough. But as it turned out, it was a bloody excellent day’s cricket - if only to see the boks struggle! I do love seeing them in strife, and I really don’t know why, but partly due to my New Zealand ancestry I guess. Jacob Oram hit a magnificent century - on his comeback Test, too. More thoughts over at Cricinfo.
