[The Slogger]

Bravo and Simmons need to repeat last night, but at a fater rate !

 

[Sparhawk]

Botha's very difficult to get away. Bravo in his form might be able to get him away.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

50 up

 

[Lethal]

Good reverse sweep by Simmons.

2 to Simmons.

Good sweep shot for 4 by Simmons.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Surprisingly the SA fielders dont stop that - goes for 4

 

[Lethal]

55-2 after 7 overs.

 

[Lethal]

Morkel to continue.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

up in the air BUT drops safely - WI pick up a single

WI 57-2

 

[tauseefm]

what an idiots are commentating.. they are saying why Aleem Dar didn't give the wide.. they didn't even know that simmons was playing reverse sweep thats why.. he was actually playing as a left handed batsman.

 

[Lethal]

Bravo lucky there. Played it uppishly.

2 more to him

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

OUT - Caught by Smith

BUT its a no ball

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

The ball by Morkel was a little high - good decision by the umpires

 

[Sparhawk]

Fair call!

Finally they give a no ball

 

[Lethal]

Out - but the ball was too high.

Above the waist.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Bravo tries to scoop the shot BUT doesnt connect properly

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

wideeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Lethal]

Fair call - that was a wide. Batsman was backing away though.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

4444444444444444444444444444444444 nicely doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

and another 4444444444444

Simmons batting very well here with Bravo

 

[Lethal]

What a shot by Simmons.

Improvisation at its best.

Gone for 4.

 

[Sparhawk]

Good fight from WI, if it was YK and Misbah out there they would be taking singles until the 12th over

 

[Lethal]

Thought that was a wide!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

should have been a wideeeeeeeeee

 

[Lethal]

66-2 after 8 overs.

 

[Lethal]

Van der Merve coming to bowl now.

 

[Lethal]

What fielding by AB De Villiers.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

bravo goesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[Lethal]

Bravo gone. van der Merve strikes.

Tried to play inside out but hits it straight to the mid off fielder

 

[Sparhawk]

Thats a huge blow! Without bravo WI dont have a prayer of getting close to this total

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good wicket for africa

 

[Lethal]

70-3 after 9 overs.

Shiv Chanderpaul is the new batsman.

 

[Lethal]

114 needed off 66 balls for the Windies.

 

[Lethal]

Simmons is the man for the Windies.

 

[Mefeo]

So they obviously watched him play yesterday and kept a fielder at deep extra cover.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

44444444444444444444444444444 by simmondssssssss

 

[Lethal]

Straight hit by Simmons.

Gone for 4. Good shot.

 

[MIG]

Can someone pls explain why Gibbs licks his hands after picking up the ball - disgusting ! or does it make the ball stick ?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good 2

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

shottttttttttttttttttttt for 444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444

 

[Lethal]

Inside out this time from Simmons.

Another 4.

Simmons on fire.

 

[Lethal]

82-3 after 10 overs.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

ohhh wasted 2 balls

 

[Mefeo]

I have been highly impressed by Simmons in this tournament. He's turning out to be a slick player for WI.

 

[Lethal]

Too dot balls from Shiv.

Come on. Rotate the strike.

 

[Imran_m]

Can someone pls explain why Gibbs licks his hands after picking up the ball - disgusting ! or does it make the ball stick ?

Whatever the advantages but you gotta accept that it works.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

50 up well done

 

[Lethal]

50 for Simmons.

Good innings. 31 balls faced. 9 fours.

 

[Sparhawk]

Good knock from simmons but it will be in vain

Or as Ramiz would say it will be in vainly

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

4444444444444444444444444444 by chanders

 

[MIG]

Whatever the advantages but you gotta accept that it works.

I wont pick up that ball if you paid me money for that !

 

[Sparhawk]

Chanderpaul gets way too many runs off the edge, keep 3rd man back to him and see how he gets his strike rate above 100

 

[Lethal]

This time Chanderpaul is successful with the reverse sweep.

Over Smith's head for 4

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

dummy to bowl

 

[Lethal]

90-3 after 11 overs.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Gone!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

chanders goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Sparhawk]

Chanderpaul gone trying to take a... single? Safe to say T20 is not his forte

 

[Lethal]

Duminy coming on now.

Chanderpaul gone. Leading edge. Caught and bowled Duminy.

 

[Mefeo]

oops ..Tiger out.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

sarwan in

 

[Lethal]

Sarwan the new batsman.

Windies need a good innings from him.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

ohhh lucky for sarwan

 

[Lethal]

Windies losing the plot here.

Too many aerial shots.

They could have been 3 wickets in this over easily.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good over by dummi

 

[Lethal]

Good over from Duminy.

95-4 after 12 overs.

 

[Lethal]

Van der Merve on now.

Simmons hits it hard down the ground for 2.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[JustAnotherFan]

KAllis has still got PACE!
