[Afridi_Fan]

5.6
Bresnan to Smith, OUT, there's the breakthrough, good line outside off, Smith pushes with a half-open face and sends a comfortable edge to first slip...he was trying to steer that to third man

8.3
Anderson to de Villiers, OUT, that's a Collingwood special...he marks becoming England's most capped ODI player by pulling off a blinder at backward point as de Villiers cuts in the air. It came out of the middle, but Collingwood dived to his left and got both hands to the catch...that's a wicket for the field

AB de Villiers c Collingwood b Anderson 2 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00

[cricket_fever]

Nice partnership developing here for Saffies.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

77/2 after 18.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Had it been Pak batting in this situation , I would have predicted a total of not above then 200 . SA still give that Aura that they can cross 300 .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Dumminy's gonna make them regret the dropped catch .

 

[Afridi_Fan]

83/2 in 19.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

A Good 50 partnership , just what Saffies needed .

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hashim Amla 50

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100 up in 22.4 overs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Duminy isplaying Rashid here very well.

Reverse swept for

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Duminy followed that with a off Rashid.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Amla has an ODI average of 49 and still he is not a tregular in the side.

May be most of his games are against Zimbabwe thats why

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Duminy

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Luke Wright strikes, Duminy gone at 111.

The nelson strikes.

111/3.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Argh .... This Sub-continental bond is making me curse Dumminy .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Amla has an ODI average of 49 and still he is not a tregular in the side.

May be most of his games are against Zimbabwe thats why

And also that because there wasn't any space for him , Gibbs/Smith/Kallis . With openers like these who needs Amla ;/ .

 

[Afridi_Fan]

120/3 in 25 overs.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I thought Kevin Pietersen came in to bat .

KP isnt a couloured, alviro peterson is....great diffference

 

[Wassixpakistani]

KP isnt a couloured, alviro peterson is....great diffference

Cricinfo scorecards don't show colour difference .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Sa Titanic seems to be sinking at the moment . Only Morkel the lifeboat can get them home from here .

 

[Khalil]

Amla has an ODI average of 49 and still he is not a tregular in the side.

May be most of his games are against Zimbabwe thats why

No most of his games are against australia

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Trott bowling well . All-rounder status nearing .

 

[Khalil]

Trott bowling well . All-rounder status nearing .

He seems to be bowling like Kallis

 

[Wassixpakistani]

He seems to be bowling like Kallis

Really . He seems to be bowling well , also considering he's bowling first time at Int . Level , right ?

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Good Bowling Combo , Colly bowling with Trott .

 

[Khalil]

Rubbish Morkel out again with the slog sweep shot. How long are the Proteas going to persist with this incomptent nicompoop

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Amla has an ODI average of 49 and still he is not a tregular in the side.

May be most of his games are against Zimbabwe thats why

Huh, he's played ONE odi against Zimbabwe.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

England are really up for this game it seems. Saffers look a batsman short.

 

[cricket_fever]

Cricinfo scorecards don't show colour difference .

then click on the name and check out the profile......im lucky i am in sa

 

[Khalil]

England dropping catches like Paksistanis

 

[Easa]

Had it been Pak batting in this situation , I would have predicted a total of not above then 200 . SA still give that Aura that they can cross 300 .

Thats quite a stupid thing to say, considering Pakistan are pretty much the kings of wrestling themselves out of the mire and coming back to win from the most unlikely of positions.

But then again, continue on with the inferiority complex.

 

[Lethal]

South Africa finish with 250-9 after 50 overs.

 

[Khalil]

Proteas 250. I think thats about 100 short on a 350+ wicket.

England should win this with ease

 

[cricket_fever]

England dropping catches like Paksistanis

eng are the new pak

 

[Lethal]

Proteas 250. I think thats about 100 short on a 350+ wicket.

England should win this with ease

Competitve score considering the position they were in.

if amla too had to flop today it would have been very embarassing for our saffers...but i am looking forward to KP's and Trottys performance 2day

thanks to alviro

 

[Khalil]

I feel so for Amla. They are going to drop him the moment Kallis is fit again. He seems to be the yoyo player in the Protea squad.

 

[Khalil]

Competitve score considering the position they were in.

Proteas have only two good bowlers in Steyn and Langerveldt. I cannot see the Proteas winning

 

[Da Best]

England should disappointed with themselves to an extent that they could have bowled SA out for under 200 or around about that total. SA have the firepower in their bowling line up and it's a decent total for them let's see what happens now.
