Aussie vs Proteas basically. Let's see who wins, Tanvir playing as well.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Supporting Lions and have done throughout the tournament.

What I really like is the way Gulam Bodi constructs his innings. When you see him early on against the new ball you think how the hell is this guy playing cricket but he sticks there and he makes up for his poor strike rate(initially) and then cashes in once he's set. He's a mainly on side player but once he's set he's brilliant to watch through the off side. He's a very very good player of spin.

Lions are a very very strong side. They prefer chasing it seems and they've done well through chasing. Neil Mckenzie is their star batsman and he's another wonderful batsman to watch. Has chased down many many totals in the past and he's very experienced.

this phangiso guy has the making of a good SLA. He could be the future vettori!

 

[Asif321]

[MRSN]

Henriques is such a good all rounder..soon we'll see him in international team in T20s at least.

 

[MRSN]

Lions batting first

 

[MRSN]

Ghulam Bodi is leading run scorer so far

 

[MRSN]

beautiful straight shottt

 

[MRSN]

the gamble of opening with spin pays off

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Forgot about the game. Live a few kms away from Wanderers. Had some rain about 2 hours ago, but it is a nice evening. Rain should stay away.

Money is on the Highveld Lions in this game.

 

[Executioner]

looks an interesting match, gonna watch it !

 

[MRSN]

opening with two spinners..working so far

 

[Executioner]

i thought it was a sellout, there still seems to be plenty of empty seats in the background

 

[MRSN]

[Executioner]

[leatherface58]

Jeez choking is extending to domestic teams

 

[MRSN]

[MRSN]

[MRSN]

Slapped through offside

 

[Justcrazy]

17 / 4

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[MRSN]

They have so many bowling options Sixers..now Cummins comes to bowl.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lions are bogged down

 

[MRSN]

a little flick for 2 runs by Tanvir

 

[Justcrazy]

Lions need a partnership here

 

[MRSN]

flicked for this time

 

[Saurav]

4 by Tanvir

 

[Justcrazy]

Lions need these two to stay there till 15th over

 

[Executioner]

tanvir played a shot afridi can only dream of playing

brilliant shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Lions need to give there bowlers something

 

[MRSN]

poor line by Cummins

 

[Justcrazy]

2 more to tanvir

 

[Justcrazy]

29 / 4 after 6 overs

 

[MRSN]

pitch has a lot spin ..130 ish can be defendable on this wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to make sure they use every ball .........

 

[MRSN]

Tanvir out LBW

 

[Justcrazy]

Lions need to get a fighting total here.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Saurav]

Kukri gone

 

[Executioner]

from what ive seen Starc has the potential to be classed along the likes of lilee's and walsh the way he has been going. He has been the highest run scorer in both t20WC and CLT20. and think about he is just 22 yrs old

 

[Justcrazy]

Looks like Lions would fold for something like 80 here

 

[shakil]

ST, the leg side tulla, gone trying to swipe the ball towards leg

 

[Justcrazy]

Starc is a bowler

 

[Justcrazy]

SS have three quality pace bowlers.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australians have real quality in Pace department.

 

[MRSN]

they need to play out 20 overs now..

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Saffers choking.... Nothing new there

 

[Executioner]

the sydney sixers looks unbeatable, esp. with watto on the side.

can beat almost any t20 team in the world

 

[Justcrazy]

33 / 5 after 8 overs

 

[MRSN]

SS have three quality pace bowlers.

Henriques is pretty good too


smashed through offside by Symes

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[MRSN]

the sydney sixers looks unbeatable, esp. with watto on the side.

can beat almost any t20 team in the world

that shows the quality of Big Bash.

 

[Justcrazy]

Not looking likely that SS would be chasing anything more than 80 - 90 here

 

[MRSN]

Symes playing a good knock here..can be dangerous for SS if he stays there..

 

[Justcrazy]

42 / 5 after 9 overs

 

[MRSN]

SS have been unbeatable in this tournament so far.

 

[MRSN]

through the offside again

 

[MRSN]

pulled through midwicket,,looking dangerous now.

 

[Justcrazy]

50 up

 

[Justcrazy]

partnership is the key

 

[MRSN]

missed on that one..was a poor ball

 

[Justcrazy]

50 / 5 after 10 overs.

60 more balls left

 

[MRSN]

just a top edge,lucky

 

[Justcrazy]
