South Africa v New Zealand | 3rd ODI | Cape Town | 2/12/07

[Rajan]

Gibbs is currently on 110 off 84 balls, in the 26th over. Smith is on 50 off 70 balls, 171-0 off 27 overs. smith has so far hit 7 sixers. even Vettori is not able to make any impression!

Gibbs is an entertaining batsmen, who can forget his counterattacking 170 odd against Australia which gave a world record winning score for SA-434 .

will he score a double hundred? will there be any record today? NZ will be batted out by SA today. I dont see NZ scoring 330 in SA with their current squad, though they have successfully done that and won against Australia in NZ some time back.

[dinakar]

what was the record again? and who by?

I think it is 11 by Afridi and Jayasurya

 

[Rajan]

yes, i am sorry, it was a mistake, Gibbs has hit 7 sixers.

 

[Rajan]

the way Smith and Gibbs were going, i thought they may score all runs themselves and rather quickly.

 

[Saj]

SA well on course for victory. 8 runs needed from 7 overs, with 6 wickets in hand.

 

[12thMan]

SA win the series 2-1. Only 3 people in presentation party And they dare to call it a party.
