England's dreams of Winning the series are disapppearing fast..

 

[Oxy]

is it that stadium is too small or that batsman hitting really big, just wondering

Its a test match standard ground - boundaries look normal (not the 45 yd IPL ones)

 

[sali]

What's the size of this ground? May be some world record is coming.

 

[JeeraBlade]

Highest innings total --- Sri Lanka 260/6 vs Kenya.

http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/287860.html


I think, we'll see 300 today.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The Captain Alistair "Poor"Cook.

)

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What?

A dot ball?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Whats happening yar..106 after 8 overs!!Saffers butchering 'em..

 

[Shaan]

Its a test match standard ground - boundaries look normal (not the 45 yd IPL ones)

huh.. goodness me

 

[Seen Sheen]

Why did they drop Swanny?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

116/0 in 9 overs.

 

[Shaan]

any prediction guys, what will SA put up the total? my guess around 260 !

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I surely don't want to captain Enggland even in this So Called Fun format.

)

 

[haroonrasheed320]

[Oxy]

6...6...

Smith on fire: 73*

 

[Shaan]

bloody hell ) ) raining SIXES ) )

 

[Oxy]

Collingwood & Strauss smiling on the bench - out ofrelief!

 

[Seen Sheen]

I remember once the same pair of Smith and Bosman hammered Pakistan in the Pro20 two years ago..I think they were chasing around 130 and they cruised home in about 15 ovs..For the first time, Kamran was playing as a specialist batsman in an int'l match..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

have some mercy Smityhy, for God sake they are the Guests. )

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Afridis record still safe fastest century in any format

 

[Oxy]

1st time Ive seen this Bosman fella!

 

[Oxy]

131-0 off 10

13 rpo!

 

[cricketfan121]

afridis record is in danger.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

A total of 11 so far and we are only have reached the half way mark.

 

[JeeraBlade]

world record partnership for 1st wicket is 145 between Gayle and Smith - which happens to be world record for ANY wicket;
http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/287853.html



Smith & Bosman have the new record for SAF for any wicket vs Pak - 132*;

http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/255957.html

 

[Oxy]

afridis record is in danger.

How? Cant compare T20 with any other format....other than with T20

 

[Afridi_Fan]

afridis record is in danger.

Heck No.

75 off 36 balls.

That tells you what that innings might have looked like 100 off 37. Absolute Carnage.

 

[Da Best]

This is just unbelievable from these two. 300 is definitely on for SA. England can just throw on everyone in the bowling at the moment.

 

[Shaan]

Afridis record still safe fastest century in any format

Afridi deserves another record at this format

 

[Oxy]

Who holds the fastest 50 / 100 in international T20

 

[90MPH]

England getting Hammered all over the place.

 

[JeeraBlade]

1st time Ive seen this Bosman fella!

He beat the crap out of our bowling in this match;

[Oxy]

I have loads of painting & decorating to do - but dont want to miss this!

 

[Da Best]

Who holds the fastest 50 / 100 in international T20

Yuvraj. The one against England six 6s. I think 12 balls.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Who holds the fastest 50 / 100 in international T20

Only one man has scored an International T20 Century and that is Chris gayle.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Here they are,mentioning about the same partnership against Pakistan.!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is a very sedate over.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yuvraj. The one against England six 6s. I think 12 balls.

Thats right.
