I just wish schools could close early when cricket was on. Then all my problems would be solved.

[MIG]

If you have anything to do with Pak cricket - why not call in a general strike ?

[Amjid Javed]

West Indies 2/0 (0.4 ov)

single for gayle and hinds..

[Rob H]

[Rob H]

4,000 ODI runs for Chris Gayle. Congrats to him

[Rob H]

Gayle Out Yorked by Ntini

[MIG]

Lara will score a hundred, thus pushing my position in the league to atleast past Marooned - oh God pls - let Lara score a big hundred !!! ( then flop against Pakistsan too :) )

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 16/1(4)

[Rob H]

[Amjid Javed]

[MIG]

Gadha Lara Ka Bacha !!!!!

[AT1]

[161]

WI's getting :/|

[AT1]

loll

[Amjid Javed]

Beautiful delivery from Langeveldt... 40/4 now.

sarwan gone

[Rob H]

Windies wickets falling like flies :(
Lara my skipper going for a duck X)

[Raz]

41-4 at the moment. The WI batting machine hasnt fired at all. Credit to the SA bowlers though. That delivery to get Sarwan was very very impressive. Remember Sarwan has a 48 average in ODIs. Thats better than anyone in world cricket!

[Hash]

west indies doing an England impression here

[Rob H]

west indies doing an England impression here
:)) Though i support England that is funny :))

[pakistani pride]

[adi 101]

lolz

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 62/4 now...

still struggling!

[Raz]

Ive still got faith! Bravo and Chanderpaul keep batting until the 35-40th over. Enter Dwayne Smith and get a quickfire 100 and there we go a competitive total!

[Naz]

Bowling has not been that amazing, yet west indies manaed to somehow get themselves to 66-5

[Naz]

69-6!!!!

This reminds me of indias batting at last day bangalore, over cautious and losing wickets.

[Amjid Javed]

Ive still got faith! Bravo and Chanderpaul keep batting until the 35-40th over. Enter Dwayne Smith and get a quickfire 100 and there we go a competitive total!

w.i 71/6 (31)

[z10]

71/6

theyre being demolished by the 76mph of pollock

i cant wait to see wat rana does

:D :D :D

[Rob H]

It is boring stuff out there now. SA will take about 8 overs to chase this score

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 87/6 of 35 ovrs

[Rob H]

91/6

[MIG]

And people are afraid that West Indies might give us a hard time ? huh !

[Rob H]

w.i dont know how to bat forget slogging

[sy]

damn, nel has got some good figures. 8 overs 8 runs with 4 maidens. Somebody needs to go shahid afrdi on him.

[Rob H]

I realised this run rate is slower than Bangladesh's test rate

[Amjid Javed]

w.i 152/7(50)

no where near enuf.... needed double that!

[161]

And people are afraid that West Indies might give us a hard time ? huh !


imagine what will happen if we lose to this team :( ....

[sy]

if a team has lost only 7 wkts and has a run rate of 3 runs after 50 overs... they have only themselves to blame.

[waheed]

The thing with the WI is there batsmen are more unpredictable than Pakistan and that takes some doing.

They can be absoluately superb one day and fold to 54 allout the next. The no. of times they have been bowled out for less than 150 is amazing in the last couple of years, but you get batmen like Gayle getting 300+, W.Hinds getting 200+, not to mention Lara, Sarwan, and Chanderpaul.

There bowling is there weakness but there batsmen let them down, time and time again, by just being lazy and not applying themselves.

They lose so many wickets to the new ball it is amazing, probably stats will show that Chanderpaul finds himself at 30-3 more often than Inzy does for Pakistan.

It just depends on the day which batting line up turns up on the day. Pakistan should not be over confident, but bowling a good containing line and length backed up by good fielding and good field placements, will put the west indies batsmen under severe pressure, and they are more likely than not likely to self capitulate.

[Rob H]

South Africa will chase down this total in about 15 overs if they bat like yesterday

[Amjid Javed]

west indies always struggle batting 1st! if i was inzi and win the toss... always put them in!

[Amjid Javed]

s.a 8/1

smith goes to bradshaw for 6

[Rob H]

s.a 8/1

smith goes to bradshaw for 6

[Rob H]

18/1

[Toony™®]

18/2

[Rob H]

Glad to see the back of the selfish Kallis

[Toony™®]

Glad to see the back of the selfish Kallis

he will be devastated as his low score will affect his average!

Seriously, I will have him in my team any day of the week!

[ZM]

rain stops play

[sy]

how come colins inst playing?

[Amjid Javed]

26/2 of 8 overs rain stopped play

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

play due to restart in 20 mins


am glad collins isnt playing as he isnt in my fantasy side

[sy]

to think i wasted a "b" spot on him.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

that is funny!!!!! - he will be back though - i am a little annoyed to - i picked Ab de villiers over dwayne smith in end!

[Rob H]

to think i wasted a "b" spot on him.
me too X)

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

aahahahahahahahaha


sorry guys - i picked bradshaw!

[Rob H]

covers are off

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

the game is nicely poised - if windies get a few quick wickets - who knows - kemp/ontong next - gayl should be considered - would be good against likes of gibbs and kemp

[Rob H]

I wanna see Kemp have a bat. A few overs of his Mayhem would be great

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

LOL- PLAY delayed as LAPTOP CRASHES - the umpires have to boot up another to work out how many overs left - more overs lost now


AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

[Rob H]

about 10-13 overs have been lost by this delay

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

plus add the fact the official lap top crashed as well!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

revised total of 124 off 25

[Amjid Javed]

target 124 runs off 25 overs

S.A 26/2(8)

[Amjid Javed]

98 needed of 25 overs....

[pakistani pride]

So WI got a chance here !

[Amjid Javed]

s.a 29/2(9)

95 needed of 24 ovrs

[Rob H]

34/2

[waheed]

What's the max no of overs each bowler can now bowl?

Bradshaw already bowled 5 overs..

[w4s1m786]

i thinks its 7 overs

[pakistani pride]

yep 7

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

huge straight 6 by gibbs off collymore - classy shot!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

17 from 52 to win


and still no sign of gayle!!!!!!1

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

bradshaw back on - he best keep it tight

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

nooooo - gibbs slaps bradshaw for a straight six

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

nooooo - 4 more - gibbs plays fine just past gayle who shoudl have taken it 0 went for 4

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

sa close in on victory - this is emphatic - but tht lower middle order of their has not been tested yet - windies must try harder next time

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

SA have won now - by 8 wkts

they go 2-0 up with 3 to play, good professional performance by SA, their bowlers delievered while the windies top order didnt fire, this was a goo dpitch to bat on as well!

[Amjid Javed]

congrats s.africa on another 8wkt win...
