the pitches in NZ are going to do the Proteas any favours. Forget bounce and the ball coming onto the bat. It's like Blikkies intimated, the wickets are sticky and two paced and until it flattens out our top order must show patience and grind for at least the first hour.
Kiwi grounds all seem small and easy to clear, trouble is the top order must still be there to do the business as big scores seem to be the order of the day.
I think big scores more than bowling is going to win games,unless of course a different type of strip is prepared.
