S Africa v West Indies | World T20 Super 8 | Oval | 13/6/09

[Inswinging Yorker]

2 for gayle

 

[Sparhawk]

probably but its a perfect batting strip full of runs and lightning fast outfield

Then maybe WI have a shot.. i didn't follow the match so far. But they need Gayle to go crazy in the powerplay and put on at least 50-60 runs.

 

[Lethal]

Gayle and the exciting Fletcher batting.

Gayle off the mark with a couple.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

single 3

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good over by styne only 3

 

[Lethal]

Good start for Steyn.

3-0 after 1 over.

 

[Lethal]

Parnell to bowl.

Another quick single taken.

 

[Sparhawk]

Slow start from WI giving respect to Steyn

Cant afford to delay the acceleration too long

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

gppd bowlin

 

[JustAnotherFan]

1 down ... 9 to go.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

bowledd failure of fletcher again

 

[Sparhawk]

Nothing shot from Fletcher. Horror start for WI

 

[pak4life]

fletcher looks half asleep

 

[Lethal]

Fletcher gone.

Clean bowled for a duck.

2 ducks in a row for Fletcher.

 

[Sparhawk]

fletcher looks half asleep

Hes trying to emulate Gayle

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

windies under pressure here

 

[Lethal]

Simmons the new batsman.

5-1 after 2 overs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I hope Windies dont play safe, their only chance is if the have a crack at this total.

And they lost fletcher.

 

[Lethal]

Shot by Simmons.

2 to Simmons.

 

[Mansoor_Ahmed]

If fletcher was playing for pakistan....fans would have been baying for his blood right now and the management would sent him back home

 

[Lethal]

That was close to a wide.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

windies on a strangle hold here

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[Lethal]

Cracking shot by Simmons. This time gone for 4.

Too short and wide by Steyn.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

13/1 8 off that over

 

[Lethal]

13-1 after 3 overs.

Gayle yet to hit a boundary.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I wonder if Gayle is trying to get a 50 in singles

 

[Lethal]

Parnell to continue.

 

[Sparhawk]

If fletcher was playing for pakistan....fans would have been baying for his blood right now and the management would sent him back home

And WI fans would be doing the same to Fletcher.. Indians fans were even doing it to their captain... we aren't the only ones

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

gayle outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[JustAnotherFan]

[Inswinging Yorker]

[Lethal]

Gayle chips to mid wicket.

Gayle gone.

 

[Sparhawk]

Game over!

 

[Lethal]

The in-form Bravo comes to bat.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Hopefully Bravo can do something and we can see some action here

 

[Mansoor_Ahmed]

And WI fans would be doing the same to Fletcher.. Indians fans were even doing it to their captain... we aren't the only ones

I dont think WI fans would react the way some of us have reacted to Salman Butt or Afridi after yesterdays game

 

[Lethal]

Gayle led to his own downfall.

This match and the last - Gayle has looked too conservative - he normaly plays his shots but he hasn't.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

16 for 2 off 4

 

[Lethal]

I dont think WI fans would react the way some of us have reacted to Salman Butt or Afridi after yesterdays game

Butt is one of the worst players to play 20-20 cricket.

He should be no where near the team.

 

[12thMan]

oh man. Gayle gone. I guess only thing left is for WI to score as much as they can - atleast 160 which will be very difficult

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Gayle led to his own downfall.

This match and the last - Gayle has looked too conservative - he normaly plays his shots but he hasn't.

[Lethal]

Albie Morkel coming on now.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Albie Morkel on to bowl now

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Luckily Kallis and Morkel share the 5th spot as bowlers

 

[Sparhawk]

I dont think WI fans would react the way some of us have reacted to Salman Butt or Afridi after yesterdays game

Let me check...

Just like i thought. Theres a thread called Fletcher can't bat on the WI cricket forum where posters are asking for him to be sent home

 

[Lethal]

Anil Kumble sounds exactly like Aamir Sohail.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]
