South Africa v England | 2nd ODI | Centurion | 22/11/09

[asifp]

wait there is another ODI already???

this is way too much cricket

 

[Khalil]

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.

The only firepower South Africa have is Steyn and Langerveldt. After that it's the bits and pieces rubbish of Mclaren, Morkel and VD Merwe

 

[Seen Sheen]

Big wkt. AJ Gone.He was moving too much on the crease and hence paid the price..

 

[LionHeart]

Pietersen may have given useless Morkel a couple more games with that shot.

 

[cricket_fever]

KP.....i didnt expect that from him

 

[Lethal]

Boundary to Trott.

Too short from McLaren. Pulled away for 4.

 

[Lethal]

67-2 after 18 overs.

The game is in the balance at the moment.

Morkel to continue.

 

[Lethal]

4 more to Trott.

Good shot.

84-2 after 21 overs.

 

[Lethal]

Steyn back into the attack.

Englands game to lose.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Should be pretty simple for England!

 

[Robert]

60 to win off 66 balls, should be easy.

 

[Robert]

Hoping for tons for both these lads.

 

[Lethal]

Trott goes after making a wonderful 87.

Good catch from Amla.

 

[*sallu*]

That was a very sensible innings from Trott.

well Played. Will not be surprised if England mess up from here.

 

[Lethal]

Should be easy. A couple of wickets and who knows.

 

[Lethal]

Good over from McLaren. Just 1 run off it.

42 needed off 42 balls.

Powerplay taken.

 

[*sallu*]

43 needed off 48 balls.

Should be easy. A couple of wickets and who knows.

With England
you never know

They can lose matches from positions that are very tough to lose a game

 

[Da Best]

Only a classic collapse can win it for SA now. 42 off 42. England within reach. Anything is still possible, PowerPlay taken by England.

 

[*sallu*]

That over from Steyn almost seals it now for the English

 

[Lethal]

Is that out.

Morgan is caught but umpires are checking if the ball was above was waist height.

Its been given NO BALL. Morgan not out

 

[Lethal]

With England
you never know

They can lose matches from positions that are very tough to lose a game

A bit like Pakistan then.

 

[Lethal]

Wow. What a shot from Morgan.

Pure timing. Big 6

 

[Lethal]

Morgan follows the 6 with a 4 down the ground.

 

[Lethal]

10 needed off 30 balls.

 

[Lethal]

Collingwood gets 5th hundred.

Well played. Match winning innings.

 

[*sallu*]

A bit like Pakistan then.

Difference is

Pakistan can win it from impossible positions as well

 

[Lethal]

England win by 7 wickets.

Well played by England. Deserved to win.

 

[Lethal]

Difference is

Pakistan can win it from impossible positions as well

True. I know what your saying. Pakistan can also lose the game when they are on the way to victory.

 

[Robert]

Good effort England, that's six ODI wins on the bounce against SA.

 

[AZ]

Colly has been in some seriously good touch recently

 

[Robert]

Colly has been in some seriously good touch recently

Yeah, it's feast or famine with him. He's bowling well too.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

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.
.

That is true but how often has that happened ? I'm sure the No.of.Self-destructions had increased a good deal under YK and don't seem to be decreasing . It has increased so much that with every fall of wicket , you can expect the whole batting line-up going down .


Seriously these comebacks seem like Hailey's comet .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

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

Or I could just check his first name which spells Alviro instead of Kevin . Im lucky , I am in Pakistan

 

[Apnacricket]

England seem to topple saffers with ease.

 

[Khalil]

England seem to topple saffers with ease.

Poor team selection.

Ntini is bowling brilliantly in the domestic league and gets replaced by a below average relative of Mickey Arthur - McLaren.

Lets make you the selector.
