Two heavyweights going at it.

I don't know why this is a fourth game. 'Cause there's a potential

But it ruins the series.

So if New Zealand win, it's a drawn series.

Unless they're saying, Well, actually it was only the three matches in South Africa that matter and they're the ones so they win two one and this one doesn't really matter, or if South Africa win it's three one, it's like, Really?

But something along those lines.
