200 has to be the min. taget

 

[Oxy]

Dot ball. 5 to go

 

[Oxy]

Another dot. 4 to go

 

[Rob H]

[Oxy]

One handed SIX by Sarwan!!! 204-5

 

[Oxy]

OUT! Sarwan caught on the boundary

204-6

1 ball remains

 

[RumiNYC]

i hate to say that and even hate to utter his name but i think abdul razzaq shud have been retain his place for this 20/20..what a shame

 

[Oxy]

West Indies finish on 205-6

SA need 206 to win off 20 overs.

I back them to do it

 

[Rob H]

205/6 off 20 overs. That's a huge task for South Africa

 

[161]

saffie quicks got murdered by gayle .. 20/20 really is a spinners game !

 

[Amir]

i hate to say that and even hate to utter his name but i think abdul razzaq shud have been retain his place for this 20/20..what a shame

Give it a rest. Wrong topic.

Anyways, Windies should have got more after Gayles onslaught. Seems some of the players got a bit more complacent once Gayle got going.

Why is Ntini not bowling?

 

[161]

205/6 off 20 overs. That's a huge task for South Africa

if kallis and hall were playing i think they would have chased it down comfortably !

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Great exhibition of raw talent.
Expect G Smith to play a similar innings.

 

[Plasma]

Records being broken already... first century, highest first wicket partnership between Gayle and Smith of 145.

 

[iafzal]

First wkt partnership record of 145 will remain intact for a few 20/20 WC, I think . . .

 

[Easa]

What a beast of an innings by Gayle. I watched it ball by ball and some of the 6's over deep square leg were just dismissive. Really has set the mark..

 

[12thMan]

last 22 balls only 27 runs. disappointing end for WI team.
players coming out

 

[Oxy]

SA Reply

Smith hit on the arm/hand 1st ball - injury concern

 

[darkmoon459]

Here we go ,SA's inning about to start ,a mountian of a task ahead.

 

[Plasma]

it was all Gayle guys, next game if he doesn't fire i can see WI at 150...

 

[Oxy]

That looks painful - doubt if he will be able to carry on.

 

[darkmoon459]

First ball,Powel rattles Smiths helmet.

 

[Oxy]

Is Smith having a pain killing injection on the pitch?

 

[Oxy]

First ball,Powel rattles Smiths helmet.

Thats one bad quality stream you have!!!

 

[Amir]

What a horible start for the hosts! On hoem turf get rattled for over 200 and now their captain and best bats may be injured!

 

[tmac4real]

i think the three key players here are Smith, Gibbs and Boucher.

 

[12thMan]

I hope he continues for the sake of excitment. It is Twenty20. taking pain killers, GEO might say Hamdard ki Karmina

 

[umarbeast]

Yeah he got hit pretty hard on the hand.

 

[Oxy]

Smith stays on the pitch after an injection.

SA 1-0

 

[darkmoon459]

Thats one bad quality stream you have!!!

[darkmoon459]

[Rob H]

Make it 6 over extra cover for Gibbs. Flat 6 that just went over the rope.

 

[iZeeshan]

Been in school..it sux. What stuff from Gayle!

Its a shame I took him out of my fantasy team yesterday

 

[Rob H]

Smith joins in the party with his own 6. He charges Rampaul and it goes to cow corner for the maximum.
