S Africa vs Scotland | T20 WC | 7/6/09 | Oval

[On_the_up]

Around half an hour to go.
The S African team shouldn't have any trouble with this potential 'banana skin' (fashionable term at the moment).

Also interesting to note how the pitch plays today.

Weather latest : Predominantly blue sky with fluffy clouds.

 

[Da Best]

This is gonna be intersting, how the pitch and the weather affect the game. Well Scotland might as well think that they've got a fair chance agasint SA.

 

[On_the_up]

my mistake, around 90 mins to go.

 

[On_the_up]

Scotland win toss and put SAfrica into bat.

 

[*sallu*]

Andrew Miller cuts the line: "Clouds? What clouds? It was utterly hosing it down overnight, but the weather has been steamy all morning, and we're all set for a full game."

 

[On_the_up]

[Da Best]

Quite a bit of pressure on Smith now.

 

[Da Best]

Well bowled by the bowler. 7 after 2.

 

[Da Best]

The bower which is bowling chucks.

 

[12thMan]

Kallis with 5 fours in the over
SA 48-0 after 5 overs

 

[Da Best]

All this over has been is short waay outside off stump crap.

 

[12thMan]

Is Pakistan match on the same pitch? It is spinning
I don't see another pitch next to it so must be same

 

[pak4life]

yes same pitch. Ideal pitch for pak! No escuses this time.

 

[hashman]

128/3 off15

 

[On_the_up]

watson, that was elementry

 

[hashman]

slower bowlers applying the brakes here slightly. Good sign for Pakistan if they are going to persist with their spin trick that inti was talking about a couple days back

 

[faisalm]

Anyone know why Haq didn't play in the first game. They might have won if he had bowled instead of Stander, who is getting hammered again today.
