Peterson??? AB must be thinking of the wrong Pieterson..
 
Peterson??? :13:


we are back to the 90s era approach of chasing 280+ targets
 
How is Robi foot now after that yorker by Wahab?
 
" Hands safe as State Bank"

this is not IPL, Sunil Gavaskar.
 
It's not the speedometer! The batsman couldn't get the bat onto it.. Steyn bowls 135-140, but looks pacy.. Langeveldt bowls 145 but never looks pacy. Hope you got the difference
He's fast for todays standards but he'll never be a geniune quick :lee :akhtar :bond
 
Seems like a very long boundary...took 3
 
I think they're shielding the middle order from the new ball
 
But wasn't short ball supposed to pwn us on England wickets?

being a bowler, i didn't see too many bouncers that troubled the batsman. they never adjusted and i can't see the reason why not.

maybe they took the two bouncers per over little too serious lol
 
What was Amla doing? almsot got himself out
 
Ishant Sharma attacking Kumar on purpose as he knows his place might be in danger :butt
 
B.Kumar backing up by putting his foot in the path of throw :D
 
I dont know why we refused to respect this INdian bolwing line up.

Kumar is great with the new ball.
Yadav good pace
Ashwin a smart spinner
Jadeja does a decent job as well.
they're not as bad as people say they are.

Which is why India has been a better team than us over lately (and for some time). Their bowling might not be as strong but the gap between batting is bigger than ours is between bowling. Plus 7 people bat, 4 specialist bowlers. Hence you'd expect the worth of 7 people to be more than 4. And everyone bats too potentially, but everyone doesn't bowl.
 
Amla on fire. He is the key for SA to chase this total. As I was typing, Yadav got him.

It's always a pleasure to watch Amla batting in ODI's and Tests!
 
As I was fearing, Umesh is back to his Spray-gun Mode.

Bowling in all kinds of lengths n line
 
oh this is brilliant batting...

Amla's class is unique in world cricket today!
 
poor Yadav...Gotta a feel for this guy he think he is again bowling against aussies
 
Costed 14 runs in this over but turned the match!
 
They need to just stabilize and then go ballistic in the last 15. Wickets are they key, 150 runs in the last 15 is very possible. This is why Kallis and Smith are such massive losses.

Despite those 2 early wickets, SA is still very much ahead in this chase.

Faf, Miller, and most importantly ABD are capable of finishing this chase within 44 overs.
 

I just dont know why it's happening like this to me yesterday just when i said something about Guptill and Bell batting they got out and now Amla...seems like i shouldn't praise anyone
 
nothing less than a 100 needed from ABD here... plus big contributions from Du plesis and miller
 
Robin has just played one of the most exquisite cover drives of today's game.

I see what you're trying to do lol :))
 
Nice cover drive by Sir Peterson! Guess who turned him into a batsman?
 
That's what Yadav does, goes for runs but picks crucial wickets.
 
SA needs to have one big partnership. There is no need to play like T-20 here.
