South Africa v Sri Lanka | 4th ODI | Kimberley | 20/1/12

[Amjid Javed]

South Africa 172/3 (24.3 ov)

South Africa have lost two quick wickets.

Still heading towards a big total mind you!

 

[Amjid Javed]

AB 60 off 35 ball so far, stunning and brutal knock so far

Dumminy new man in for S.A

 

[ads101]

Guess South Africa will win this now, and we'll be officially the new number four in the ODI rankings.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Dilshan and co have had a nightmare since world cup.

 

[GOAT]

Sri Lanka are the new Pakistan.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Malinga firing yorkers.
177/3

 

[Zeeraq]

South Africa showing who's the boss. Can SL chase 300 + ?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

at the pace de villiers scoring runs, he could break someone's record .

[adnan yasin]

This is horrifying scoring rate by AB Gladiators

and i just love the aggressive approach of AB deviliers by taking batting power play in 22-26

just to take the game away from srilanka rite there ....and he succeeded in his plan

 

[adnan yasin]

8 bowlers already been used .. wont be surprise if sangakara will be bowling now

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Only rain can save Srilanka now.

 

[adnan yasin]

Srilanka bowling is horrible .... even in test matches they are actually equal to indian bowling and in one dayers they are bit ok ...but against SA they are looking amateur ... because of Aggressive approach by SA

and their batting is not on top of their game... Captain is horrible as well

how can you make dilshan the test team captain ( out of my mind)

 

[velu]

199/2 in 30 overs..

 

[adnan yasin]

SA 200-3 in 30.3 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

just milking the bowling here and there with ease

340 on cards minimum at this stage

 

[Justcrazy]

SL bowling is pathetic , these days

 

[Justcrazy]

No respite for SL

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Sachithra Senanayake is pretty experienced player at domestic level.....

 

[velu]

240/3 after 38..

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need to get as bowling coach

 

[Amjid Javed]

Only rain can save Srilanka now.

Weather forecast does mention some rain maybe due! )

 

[Justcrazy]

@velu ....... you changed your avtar

By the way are you from India? If yes which state?

 

[khalil1986]

Noticed they mentioned Parnell as Wayne Parnell I thought he changed his name?

 

[Justcrazy]

SA cruising here.........

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[TheHK16]

adv is class

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need more wickets here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Stats fan Dan: "Here's a stat for AB fans: of batsmen with 4500+ runs, only Viv Richards has an equivalent average AND strikerate, while AB has already caught Viv in terms of hundreds (before this game), in 48 less innings."

( cricinfo )

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa RR 6.20

SL need to get this down ......... the best way is wickets.

 

[Zeeraq]

de Villers on 95.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need to get AB out ......he can be lethal

 

[khalil1986]

Excellent ball to dismiss AB on 96

 

[ninjafirstslip]

o dear poor AB deserved it.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[adnan yasin]

250 !!

40.4 overs

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Akmal should aim to be what AB is in ODIs

 

[adnan yasin]

250 !!

40.4 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

F du Plessis c †Sangakkara b Herath 5 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 41.66

 

[Justcrazy]

SL back..... need to maintain pressure.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

du plessi really is just their for fielding.

 

[AnotherIndian]

South Africa again doing what they know the best.

Losing the plot here and might end up scoring less than 280 here

But they should win this game anyway..

 

[Justcrazy]

RR now 6 ........... SL need to get it less.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL cannot chase anything over 250.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

wayne showed against aus he can hit it.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL selectors need to think hard ......

 

[ethan hunt]

imran nazir should have been for pakistan what abcdefg is for the saffers......when i first saw them play , thought they were similarly gifted , clean strikers of the ball..

 

[Justcrazy]

linga 165 wickets from only 103 matches

 

[Justcrazy]

imran nazir should have been for pakistan what abcdefg is for the saffers......when i first saw them play , thought they were similarly gifted , clean strikers of the ball..

Imran Nazir is an International Faliure, anything pitched up these days , he looks like a tailender. A complete waste.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL should bring back Maharoof, he moved the ball well, and was a good hitter also, an Ideal number 7.

 

[ethan hunt]

Imran Nazir is an International Faliure, anything pitched up these days , he looks like a tailender. A complete waste.

he wasnt when he started ..

 

[Batman]

South Africa | 6/259 | 44 Overs | RR 5.89 | Need 41 runs to reach 300

6 Overs to go!

 

[Justcrazy]

When Tom Moody was the coach, SL were a good ODI unit.

 

[ethan hunt]

dilshan should be fed to the sharks , time to appoint a new captain ..

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A have made a pigs ear out off this inns

172/1 after 23 overs and now 259 for 6 after 45 overs

the lack of quality all-rounders and strength in S.A middle to late order is very apparent now!

 

[Justcrazy]

RR now 5.88 , a wicket here can get it further down.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need to keep things tight.

 

[Justcrazy]

269 /6 after 46 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Last 4 overs SA will get another 35 ......

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[Justcrazy]

What is the requirement for Dilshan to bowl????

 

[Justcrazy]

Dilshan has to be worst captain of this era.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

oh dilshan. Really dont do yourself any favours do you?

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor over from Dilshan

 

[Justcrazy]

SL should get :vicky as coach ( bowling )

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

SL need to chase a big total here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Parnell looking good..... SA have the best tailenders in business.

 

[Justcrazy]

I have jinxed Parnel

 

[Shahzebayub]

What name of parnel after embracing islam

 

[Justcrazy]

SA number 11 can also bat !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

290 /7 after 48.4

 

[ninjafirstslip]

sri lanka have no chance still.

 

[Justcrazy]

Simon doesn't rate Dilshan's bowling: "If ever there was a reason to remove Dilshan from the cpataincy it's his insistence on bowling himself all the time. The guy averages over 40, is normally the most expensive spinner in the side and can't even be called a partnership breaker."

( cricinfo )

 

[Justcrazy]

Peterson 20 from 28

 

[Justcrazy]

It will take SL to Bat out of there skins to win this game...... Sangakara & Dilshan would need to get hundreds.

 

[Justcrazy]

Maharoof is a much better player than Kulasekra, no idea why selectors are ignoring him. He would have been perfect foil for Matthews.

 

[Justcrazy]

Also Mendis been ignored completely ,
