Deja Vu for New Zealand

After South Africa compiled 525/8d, New Zealand stuttered once again crawling to 47/6 by stumps on Day 2 of the second test. Steyn, Kleindvelt and Robin Peterson took 2 wickets each, decimating the New Zealand top order. Brendon McCullum was the only batsman to offer any form of resistance, and lasted 97 minutes for his 13, but got out to the spinner, after surviving the pace battery.

Earlier Faf du Plessis scored 137, while Dean Elgar scored his first test century making 103* before Graeme Smith declared the innings.

I cannot see any way New Zealand can recover in this match as they are still 278 runs behind the follow on target. Honestly there is a good chance that the match could be in fact over today given the kiwi batting line up. It's really disappointing for world cricket to see New Zealand being dominated like this, but  they are simply not even in the same stratosphere as the no.1 ranked South Africans.
