[bantu]

Here we go......SA openers in crease

 

[Sohaib-789]

 

[Sledger]

Only 8 an over required!!

 

[saj001]

Goofy boy to start from other end

 

[Sohaib-789]

South Africa have scored 438 in an ODI game before.

 

[Sledger]

btw, where is Ifast Sharma? Is he injured?

 

[Billie Jean]

btw, where is Ifast Sharma? Is he injured?

Dropped.

 

[abdul2009]

Nehra to Amla, 1 run, the ball is swinging and that's a good sign for the Indians, pitched up on off, swings into Amla who glances it to fine leg

Amazing not one of the SA bowlers managed that... how come?

 

[saj001]

4 to amla

 

[saj001]

LOl at kumar fielding

 

[Sohaib-789]

Nehra to Amla, 1 run, the ball is swinging and that's a good sign for the Indians, pitched up on off, swings into Amla who glances it to fine leg

Amazing not one of the SA bowlers managed that... how come?

Dew Factor and lights

 

[Sohaib-789]

2 fours to amla

 

[Sledger]

Amazing not one of the SA bowlers managed that... how come?

Why else do you think Ashish's teeth are bent out of shape?

 

[ShehryarK]

Amazing not one of the SA bowlers managed that... how come?

Different time of day and lighting.

 

[Sohaib-789]

amla on fire

 

[saj001]

gibbs gone

 

[abdul2009]

gibbs gone

 

[Rizie]

Gibbs Gone

 

[Sledger]

Gibbs out, big wicket.

 

[Billie Jean]

Bowled 'em, Herschelle Gibbs.

 

[Sohaib-789]

 

[Sohaib-789]

They should send in Albie morkel

 

[Sledger]

It was a poor shot by Gibbs but when you need so many runs I guess you have to take risks like that. Can't see anyone else winning this game now, Gibbs was SA's wildcard.

 

[saj001]

They should send in Albie morkel

LOL he is not playing. Do you think/read before posting?

 

[abdul2009]

Getting bowled by the bowling of parveen kumar should be a strong indicator that your time is up

 

[bantu]

Danger man Gibbs gone............. inside edge ...........bowled

 

[Rizie]

where is PK's french beard

 

[Billie Jean]

Amla almost gone.

 

[Rizie]

Amla Choka

 

[Uzi]

If Smith was there then SA would have a chance to chase this.

I can't see SA pulling this off without Smith and especially now that Gibbs is gone.

 

[saj001]

four 4's in a over

 

[bantu]

Ashih nehra is ******.......... 4 fours in his 2nd over
Is Amla going to break sachin's record today?

 

[Rizie]

Six van der Merve

 

[abdul2009]

did kallis had a brain fart? why is merve in ?

 

[saj001]

4.2 Kumar to van der Merwe, SIX, 65.0 mph, powered into the stands, full outside off, he takes a couple of steps forward while simultaneously making a bit of room and swings it over deep midwicket

 

[Rizie]

haha sreesanth's first ball gone for four

 

[abdul2009]

namma kerala Express is in to bowl

 

[saj001]

merwe gone

 

[Rizie]

van der merve gone

 

[abdul2009]

mervey out

 

[Billie Jean]

RE van der Merwe c Raina b Sreesanth 12 (11b 1x4 1x6) SR: 109.09

 

[bantu]

Praveen,sreesanth & nehra are our main bowlers............
As I type sreesant gets van der merwe's wicket

 

[Sledger]

So the pinch hitter tactic fails, have to say that its India's day today.

 

[Mohsin]

4.2 Kumar to van der Merwe, SIX, 65.0 mph, powered into the stands, full outside off, he takes a couple of steps forward while simultaneously making a bit of room and swings it over deep midwicket

OMG

Talk about EXTREME! He could give Atul Sharma a run for his money....i'm...i'm dizzy

 

[bantu]

namma kerala Express is in to bowl

) ) )

 

[abdul2009]

Er, Kallis at the crease...

Kallis and Amla , what a rubbish combination especially when you are chasing 400

 

[saj001]

OMG

Talk about EXTREME! He could give Atul Sharma a run for his money....i'm...i'm dizzy

[Rizie]

Praveen,sreesanth & nehra are our main bowlers............
As I type sreesant gets van der merwe's wicket

I dont understand they are not the best of bowlers but they keep taking wickets. It has to do with Dhoni's captaincy i guess.

 

[Sledger]

Kallis getting his eye in as usual.

 

[saj001]

Er, Kallis at the crease...

Kallis and Amla , what a rubbish combination especially when you are chasing 400

If these two stay till 30 overs then SA have chance.

 

[Sledger]

I dont understand they are not the best of bowlers but they keep taking wickets. It has to do with Dhoni's captaincy i guess.

Or maybe the fact that the opposition need more than two boundaries an over?

 

[abdul2009]

If these two stay till 30 overs then SA have chance.

)
if these two are at the crease for 50 overs than game set and match to india...
look at their SR

 

[saj001]

Amla gone

 

[Sledger]

Amla is striking at 162..

edit- was.

 

[abdul2009]

amla gone

 

[Rizie]

amla gone

 

[Billie Jean]

Amla gone.

 

[bantu]

Treesanth gets Amla...................yay

 

[Rizie]

Or maybe the fact that the opposition need more than two boundaries an over?

im not just talking about this match.

 

[Sledger]

That should be the match, needed a partnership.. also SA really miss Smith in this sort of sitauation, they know they don't have the needed firepower.

 

[Sledger]

im not just talking about this match.

They almost always have 300 runs to play with so wickets will come because batsmen are always on the attack - just take a look at the economy rates of Indian bowlers.

 

[abdul2009]

Treesanth gets Amla...................yay

 

[Mohsin]

Dont worry Kallis is just playing himself in...still

 

[abdul2009]

Silly from CSA to appoint kallis as captain...

he is not captaincy material

 

[Sledger]

Kallis looking for that elusive double ton.. unfortunately nobody's told him its not a test match.

 

[bantu]

I dont understand they are not the best of bowlers but they keep taking wickets. It has to do with Dhoni's captaincy i guess.

They do get wickets but at what cost? Usually after giving too many runs..

 

[rhussain33]

Amla was the man to do it, in fantastic form. Just played that wasnt his type n paid d price for it. He was better off leaving it test match style, his wicket was more important

 

[abdul2009]

Kallis looking for that elusive double ton.. unfortunately nobody's told him its not a test match.

 

[abdul2009]

free hit to kallis!!!!!!!!!!! is he gonna defend this as well?

Edit : he gets jus a four

 

[Sledger]

Kallis has decided to only score off free hits, smashes it for 4 and blocks the next 3 balls! What a player!!

 

[Mohsin]

Thats the one Jaques, play yourself in

 

[Sledger]

Nehra to Kallis, should be an interesting battle seeing as Ashish isone of the most difficult bowlers to defend against.

 

[abdul2009]

Kallis gone

 

[pun500]

kallis gone now

 

[Billie Jean]

Nehra to Kallis, should be an interesting battle seeing as Ashish is one of the most difficult bowlers to defend against.

That cracked me up

 

[Sledger]

11 off 13 chasing 400+, what a fine knock. Looks like Tendulkar has been outclassed.

 

[bantu]

Nehra to Kallis, should be an interesting battle seeing as Ashish isone of the most difficult bowlers to defend against.

) )
But nehra has the last laugh............gets Kallis!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sledger]

KP in.

 

[bantu]

If we get ABCDE then we will be safe.............. oh nevermind Steyn & co are there..............
Lets get everybody out.........

 

[Sledger]

76.2mph from Nehra, nearly blew Petersen's head off.
