Australia v Sth Africa - Grp A match, Baselterre

JustAnotherFan, still a huge ask I think. 8.5 RPO will be tough. South Africa is giving them punch for punch, that's for sure though.
 
six and Barry Richards says game on and next ball Gibbs stumped
220-2 after 31.3
 
cricinfo: Jay is also upset at Kallis. "This is so typical of South Africa's batting line up. Kallis comes in and thinks he is playing a 5 day test. Then he wakes up when the run rate is 12 an over and he tries one big shot and he is gone. Then Prince comes in and bats at his speed of 3 runs per over. Then he bites the dust and its all up to Boucher, Kemp, Pollock and Hall to do the usual lifesavers job. Even Ntini bats faster than Kallis. And yes i am a South African supporter."

:)))

It is called politics ... let me just leave it at that. (Prince is a test player, but not attacking enough for ODI situations like this).

Which is kind of sad. Was Dippenar excluded because you had to accomodate Prince? Prince out, by the way.
 
Wow what a display of cricket from both ends, this is how it's done. The other teams should pick up some tips from this match, wow.
 
khh khh khhh khhh


what's the sounds? Looks like saffies bit off more than they can chew. They had it, they were well on there way....

man since kallis came in the rr has just continued to climb. Its a shame smith had to leave like that. Moments like the are the reason why kallis is not mentioned in the same breath as lara, tende, and even ponting despite having a similar if not better rec. damnit
 
Boucher is probably our most aggresive batsmen these days i.e. to get a quick 50. Fastest to get a WC 50 and I think 4th overall in in ODI 50s (but against minnows though). He has helped SA get out of the S**T a few times.
 
Kallis 32 off 46 balls. In the context of the match, he is doing everything he can for South Africa to lose the match.

Maybe he is hiding it away for the last 10 overs? :15:
 
This is a fantastic innings by Kallis today. I'm sure the Aussies will be thanking him later....
 
Kemp can perform (hits the biggest sixes in the team), but probably hasn't had a good game in a while. Bit too inconsistient as other batsmen before him do things.
