South Africa v West Indies | WC'11 | Group B | Delhi | 23/02/11

[grunge]

stupidity of the highest order

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Ben comes in

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Should aim for at least 240

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

220?

Sammy gone, LBW to Steyn

 

[Jo_Don]

Pollards gone,just proves how inaccurate hawkeye is as Pollards a very tall man

How does his height change the trajectory of the ball?

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Sammy goes for a duck

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[cricketindiafan]

They have crumbled again. what a wasted effort. They could be short by 35-40 runs. 250+ here would have been wonderful.

 

[SAPakFan]

Thomas gone,Tahir gets 4 for 41 from 10. Sammy's also gone

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

213 | 9 | 45.1

The wicket of both Bravo's led to a downward slide

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Roach hits straight back to the bowler

 

[style_guru]

Too much expectations have taken the toll on Pollard. WI as a whole has been disappointing. I can't see their bowlers making early inroads which means that this game is gone for them.

 

[hazen_batti]

I hate Windies. Worst collapse even worst than Kenyans issed:

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Another Dot

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Go Go South Africa

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Play and a miss outside off

 

[cricketindiafan]

WI also wasted their batting power play. 9 down and the PP3 is on

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Single, to third man

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Ben mistimes the cut to short cover

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

214 | 9 | 46

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

windies crumble once again..

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

WI are going to need the ball to swing around alot when they bowl

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Morkel comes on

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Leaves the ball, but they run through for a bye

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

230 is the most they can make now.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Ben plays it straight back to the bowler

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Cut Past Point for 4 by Ben

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

4t444.

 

[SAPakFan]

How does his height change the trajectory of the ball?

Being a South African myself i wouldn't want to explain it to you as i know it would result in an argument or debate. If it wasn't SA playing or if it was SA batting you would've deff understood. I don't know if you heard what Nasser Husain said when hawkeye showed it hittig the stumps

 

[arsalan660]

to Benn

 

[thecricket]

44

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Goes for the cut again but gets cut in half

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I playing good cricket followed by shambolic cricket! Typical stuff from them.

I can see S.A chasing this with ease later on!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

235 would be good.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tahir will be over the moon with debut hes had!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Hits down the ground, dot

 

[Markhor]

Bravo run out the turning point.Windies had a platform there for Pollard to attack in the last 6 overs.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Hits the inside half of the bat, single

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

220 | 9 | 47

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I 220/9 - 3 overs left.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

If they can somehow go 10 till the end, they'll have a fighting chance

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Driven straight, single

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Come on SA

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Roach on strike

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Roach flicks through square leg but doesnt time it, single

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

West Indies 222/9 (47.2 ov)

South Africa

South Africa won the toss and elected to field

* West Indies RR 4.69
* Batting PP 9/1 (2.2) RR 3.85
* Last 5 ovs 13/3 RR 2.60

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Ben goes for a big one, and is caught by Morkel

 

[Rizie]

All out

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

222 | All Out | 47.3

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

there you go.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

222 shouldnt be enough for WI, but you never know with the chockers...

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Ben out

Game over

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

wasted 15 balls.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Aamla will be looking to west Indies bowlers

 

[grunge]

the Windies resemble our team in a lot of respects

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

I missed Gayle's

 

[hazen_batti]

So this was the match i was looking forward to since the start of the tournament.
What a waste. issed:


So Africans are always start good to be choked

Windies look so like us

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A need 223 to win.

I recon they will win by 7 wickets.

 

[Amjid Javed]

the Windies resemble our team in a lot of respects

We aint as bad as the W.I yet

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

So this was the match i was looking forward to since the start of the tournament.

But this time Tahir won't allow them to get chocked

I can assure you that my allegiance has nothing to do with the question, so please go ahead and explain it

No matter how tall or short a batsman is, the ball would have pitched in the same spot, hit in the batsman in the same spot and therefore follow the same trajectory since the two initial points of reference are the same.

 

[No_Username]

Windies has shown some fight.

Whenever a ball hits a player,even as short as Tendulkar above knee roll,it's said that 'it would've gone above the stumps' & usually given not out. If you look at where it hit Pollard and he's very tall,with the naked eye you would think it's going over. Also hawkeye isn't always able to determine the amount of bounce every pitch has & would sometimes show the ball going over when it isn't + vice versa. If you watch cricket alot,many times commentators are 'shocked' at what hawkeye shows & many have said hawkeye isn't accurate. This particular one wasn't a shocker but also wasn't accurate

Commentators should stick to cricket and leave the science to the scientists.

With two points of reference (i.e. where the ball pitches and where it hits the batsman), the bounce factor is eliminated. With these two points you can also determine how much movement there would be.

On the point of hitting a batsman on the knee role, using your logic, we could have a 2 foot tall batsman coming in, and if the ball hits him above the knee role then he can't be out. The rules say nothing about hitting above or below the knee role for a reason - that's just something that commentators use as a rough estimate for an average size batsman.

 

[grunge]

We aint as bad as the W.I yet

we are perhaps a wee bit better,but not by much i reckon.

the big collapses,moronic runouts,batting order blunders(Pollard coming in so late)....its all the same isnt it

 

[Jo_Don]

lol now it seems like every team is going to open with a spinner

 

[grunge]

here we go,Benn opening the bowling

 

[grunge]

why cant we see the speeds...this is rubbish

 

[SAPakFan]

Did you see JoDon a thread has been created on how wrong hawkeye is,i'm sure you'd want to have a say there lol

 

[AZ]

Roach struggling with his lines, Amla getting freebies in the legside.

 

[AZ]

SA 8/0 after 2 overs.

 

[AZ]

sliiightly short, and a wonderful late cut

 

[Markhor]

Amla hits a boundary

Shickelgruber )

 

[Jo_Don]

Did you see JoDon a thread has been created on how wrong hawkeye is,i'm sure you'd want to have a say there lol

Nah it's cool, let's just agree to disagree and enjoy the cricket

 

[AZ]

decent comeback from Benn, only 7 off it in the end.

 

[AZ]

ahhhh, mistimed pull from Amla, just short of square leg in the circle!

and he's

inside edge and a stunning catch from the keeper!

 

[thecricket]
