South Africa v Sri Lanka | CT 2009 | Centurion | 22/9/09

[Deewana Mastana]

295 for 3 after 46 overs

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

haaaaaaa afrika cannot even hit the stumps

 

[Cover Drive]

12 from Steyn over

 

[mindless slogging]

Plus SL have Murali and Mendis

4 by Jaya

I don't think Mendis will be much of a threat.

 

[Cover Drive]

In order to get 330 Sl need to score 8.75 runs per over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jeez, How many indian commentators are around?

 

[mindless slogging]

haaaaaaa afrika cannot even hit the stumps

Even the best fielder in the world, AB, is missing. I can just imagine Jayasuriya running someone out for Sri Lanka.

 

[Cover Drive]

Samraweera has to hit few boundaries rather than taking singles

 

[insaftak]

Jeez, How many indian commentators are around?

now i get it why i have been sleepy

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jaya gone and Parnell gets his 1st in the match!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

jaya goes good knock

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jaya made 77 from 61 balls

Good stuff by him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Will it be Kandamby or Mathews? Who do you want to come?

 

[mindless slogging]

Yes...Parnell gets the dangerman Jayawardene

 

[mindless slogging]

It's Sanga's clone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Parnell on a hattrick

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Samaraweera gone

 

[Cover Drive]

Very well played innings comes to an end

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good come back for africa...right on time

 

[mindless slogging]

Samaraweera gone aswell. I'm happy as Parnell is in my fantasy team

 

[Cover Drive]

parnell on hattrick

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kandy and Mathews in the middle

Parnell can he get a hattrick?

 

[Cover Drive]

Now 330 seems a bit diffcult for SL

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Parnell on a hattrick

Lol, PP updates quicker that CricIndia!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

hatricccccccccccccccccc?????

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

awwww hard luck

 

[Cover Drive]

Safe no hatrick for Parnell

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good come back by parnell well done

 

[Cover Drive]

300 up for Sl, 5 runs from parnell over along 2 wickets

 

[Afridi_Fan]

300 up. 3 overs to go.

 

[Cover Drive]

2 overs left of batting PP

 

[Cover Drive]

Sl need 10 per over to get 330

 

[Cover Drive]

Dot ball by Steyn

 

[Cover Drive]

Another dot ball bySteyn

 

[Cover Drive]

I bet third ball would be a slower one

 

[Cover Drive]

I hope Amla scores a century

 

[Cover Drive]

3 runs taken

 

[mindless slogging]

Misfield AGAIN from S.A. and they concede 3 when 1 would have been tight

 

[Afridi_Fan]

South Africans will always remain "Nearly Men".

 

[Da Best]

I've got Duminy, Sanga, De Villiers, Jayawardene and Dilshan. Should be a win for SA this one, maybe a few hick ups, but a win nevertheless.

So far my players have been on fire But as for my prediction, that looks unlikely. Unless they come out all guns blazing

 

[Cover Drive]

7 from Steyn's over

SL 307-5

2 overs to go (1 PP over0

 

[Deewana Mastana]

307 for 5 after 48 overs

 

[Khalil]

This is at a 350+ wicket. I think that Sri lanka will be at leasr 50 runs short of setting a winning target

 

[Cover Drive]

SL should have sent Kulusekara rather than Kandamby. he would have managed to hot few boundaries

 

[Cover Drive]

^^Oopps never mind

4 by Kamdamby

 

[Cover Drive]

Dot ball by Parnell, 1 more ball to go off his last over

 

[Cover Drive]

Out...Kandamby gone

 

[Salman]

This is at a 350+ wicket. I think that Sri lanka will be at leasr 50 runs short of setting a winning target

I don't think chasing under lights will be all that easy.

 

[mindless slogging]

Yesssssssssss...............Parnell gets his 3rd.

 

[Cover Drive]

Parnell finishes with 3 for 79 off 10 overs

 

[Cover Drive]

I don't think chasing under lights will be all that easy.

After all it is SA home round so you never know they might be comfortable to score under light. There domestic team (warrioir) chased down NZ total under lights

 

[Salman]

Parnell gets another one Kandambi

 

[Da Best]

I don't think chasing under lights will be all that easy.

Exactly, especially on a SA pitch Duminy takes his third catch also.

 

[Cover Drive]

In PP
Last 5 ovs 44/3 RR 8.80

 

[Cover Drive]

My guess SL will make 320-7

 

[Cover Drive]

Third umpire

 

[Cover Drive]

Outt.....Kulu goes

 

[Salman]

Kulasekra Run out

 

[Cover Drive]

Here comes Murali.

 

[Cover Drive]

Last ball

 

[Cover Drive]

Bowled...Steyn gets his third

 

[Oxy]

Only 319 from SL?

Should have been 340+ as a minimum

 

[Deewana Mastana]

320 to win for South Africa

 

[Cover Drive]

Mathews goes for 15. Nice yorker by Steyn

 

[Salman]

SA target 320


Mathews bowled!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Awesome yorker by Steyn on the last ball, cleans up Matthews

Sri Lanka end up with 319 in 50 overs. South Africa can chase this if the pitch plays the same in the 2nd innings

 

[mindless slogging]

320 to win for South Africa..........Sri Lanka 319-8 off 50 overs.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Team batting second in a day/night match almost always is on the receiving end. Its hard to chase such a huge total since the ball moves a lot more under the lights. For me its 60-40 in favor or SL.

 

[sehban]

Sri lanka should win this easily, with their spinners it will be almost impossible for the south africans to chase this target down
stupid decision to bowl first

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rameez Raja and Aamir Sohail LIVE on GEO discussing about the match so far with Haroon Rasheed.

 

[Rizwan25]

Even if Sa loses they will still run over Eng and NZ to qualify for semis....if they had aussies, india or Pak in their group, they would be under a lot more pressure right now..

 

[mindless slogging]

Malinga taken off for Mathews after one over for some reason. May be to change ends.

 

[mindless slogging]

Amla bowled after playing a maiden from Mathews. Now it depends on Smith, Kallis and AB- all in my fantasy team.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Kallizz will have to save the day

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Smith finally gets a 444444

 

[mindless slogging]

JustAnotherFan, are you whining?

 

[mindless slogging]

what a cover drive from kallis 4444444444444444

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Nice cover drive by Kallizz ... 444444

 

[JustAnotherFan]

JustAnotherFan, are you whining?

Naah, winning tonight

 

[mindless slogging]

Naah, winning tonight

The pitch seems to have gotten harder to bat on.....Kallis with another 44444444444.
