[velu]

:4 ..from tahir

:4 Tahir

@ Velu - ^ Offtopic but the new South Park episode with Cartman's momma jokes was hilarious.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Someone here predicted a Steyn 100, who was he

 

[velu]

@A_R
^ haha .. "The poor kid" right
it was one of the best episode for me.. but jinn disagrees

 

[velu]

steyn closing his eye and trying to slog

 

[velu]

driven straight like

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

@ Velu - ^ Haha yeah, one of the best South Park episodes, probably the best so far in this season.

 

[Jo_Don]

Great debut by Cummins. That should be a challenging score to chase.

 

[velu]

Meanwhile Saffers 339 all out ..
I still think SA will win

@A_R. Southpark extended for another 3 years in addition to previous 2. We can expect them for another 5 years.

 

[Bhaijaan]

6fer for Cummins

 

[Bhaijaan]

Aussies set 310 to win. Tough task, expecting an RSA win.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I have a feeling Australia will chase this score, Ponting to score a ton

 

[velu]

P Cummins 6 for 79..

I guess Random Aussie was not happy with his inclusion )

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

^ He wanted Copeland haha lol.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

But Copeland and Cummins should share the new ball and Mitch should be given a break. Aussie youngsta beauties looking good

 

[Jo_Don]

I have a feeling Australia will chase this score, Ponting to score a ton

I'm not going to call a winner, you never know with these two teams. Aus will need to chase down the highest score at this ground, but they might just do it.

 

[velu]

Cummins full ball to get Morkel was like

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

@Jo _Don ^ Highest score at this ground, then I guess South Africa will win it. With Steyn's current form and Phillander backing him and not to mention Australia collapsing. But have to say Australia vs South Africa matches are pretty competitive, it should have been a 4 match series instead of 2. It's just sad.

 

[velu]

Cummins in for Harris #%* me

I hope i am wrong but this is possibly the stupidest decision i have seen us make in past few years.
They had to had to pick Copeland to get some control.

He has played three games. The bowling conference will be funny, "so who wants the new ball? MJ? No? Siddle? No? Pat here you go! Watto you take the other end!"

One of the best anti-jinxes i had seen ).

 

[Bhaijaan]

Well RR shouldn't be a proble, if Aussies bat enough overs they will win. Still it's gonna be a tough task.

 

[Jo_Don]

Philander gets Watson 2nd ball.

 

[velu]

watto


I thought Philander is a trundler.
Nice way to get watto, outswinger followed by inswinger.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sir Punter to score a ton. you heard it from me first.

 

[velu]

First ball :4 for Khawaja

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Khawaja in? He'll score a century for sure

 

[velu]

:4 more for khawaja

 

[Jo_Don]

I thought Philander is a trundler.
Nice way to get watto, outswinger followed by inswinger.

He was when he first started. Like Steyn, he was sent back to domestic cricket and has improved a lot. He's now developed into a proper (bowling) all-rounder, similar to Shaun Pollock.

 

[Jo_Don]

2 wickets for Steyn to equal Lillee's record. and he almost gets Hughes first ball.

 

[velu]

Hughes is playing like he will get out anytime.
The way he defends is Dhoni like. )

 

[velu]

Now :4 for Hughes

 

[Poison]

SA have about 60 runs too many imo.

 

[Poison]

Sorry but Hughes is a terrible player. I don't care if he scores runs he's still terrible.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hughes is the key, the guy has a good record against South Africa.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Watson gone

 

[Bhaijaan]

Impressive run rate from Aussies

 

[Romali_rotti]

A stable 100 run partnership from here and Aus should win provided they dont do anything silly..

 

[velu]

Another :4 for Hughes

 

[velu]

Hughes

 

[Jo_Don]

Philander gets his second. Gets Hughes out 3/4 times in this series.

 

[Poison]

Hughes you are AWFUL GET OUT OF THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM.

 

[Romali_rotti]

**** Hughes out ..

 

[Romali_rotti]

AHHHh stuff if Oz is not gonna win...

 

[Poison]

If SA win this game (which I'm praying they do), I pick up a nice 7 bet multi return of $600 on $15 at 1/40

 

[Strike!]

If SA win this game (which I'm praying they do), I pick up a nice 7 bet multi return of $600 on $15 at 1/40

Betting is haram.

 

[Poison]

Here we go ... Steyn v Ponting.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ponting under some pressure

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Khawaja needs to prove his worth, Marsh scored a ton, Lyon took a 5fer, Cummins took a 5fer, Khawaja seems like the only non performing youngsta.

 

[velu]

If SA win this game (which I'm praying they do), I pick up a nice 7 bet multi return of $600 on $15 at 1/40

Its 1.5/7.2 in favor of saffers.

 

[Poison]

Ponting is looking worse than Tendulkar did when he had his slump.

 

[Poison]

Its 1.5/7.2 in favor of saffers.

No there are 6 other matches I bet on in a combined multi, which all came through. This is the last one, the decisive one.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

It's sad to see everyone talking about a legend's retirement

 

[velu]

No there are 6 other matches I bet on in a combined multi, which all came through. This is the last one, the decisive one.

okies.. All the best.
But can you close ur position now for 550 or something ??

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Punter off the mark. Whippy

 

[Bhaijaan]

Balls keeping low

Ten Sports switched from SA vs Aus to "Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal" , Live

Edit:
Now i m forced to watch Pak vs SL

 

[velu]

12 and a half bro.

these commentators

 

[Romali_rotti]

Solid partnership needed here, this partnership will be the defining moment I feel..

 

[velu]

Off-topic:

Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal match in Salt Lake Stadium.
Stadium is hugeeeee, and almost full. Like 1L+ people i guess

 

[Romali_rotti]

haha Steyn not looking so crash hot all of a suddenn

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Khawaja looks set for a big hundred. Can feel it

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ponting's batting here or Afridi's batting i the other match, what to watch i am confused :Afridi

 

[velu]

Watch

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ponting in 20s playing for his life.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Tea

Ponting's got a good start. Needs to build on it.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Khawaja finally showing his talent. Class

 

[Bhaijaan]

Khawaja's batting doesn't look SC type at all. Aussie product he is

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Come on!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ravi: "Lifeless roads, 100 means 100, etc. Are these comments subtly indicating that Sachin's centuries are not worthy? Be warned that Sachin fans will rise and clog cricinfo servers." Eh, why so defensive, mate? Hasn't he scored all across the world? from cricinfo

Sachin fanatics

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

simon: "Ravi, this is Aus v South Africa, it's not all about Sachin. Nobody is ridiculing the guy, he's the greatest cricketer of the last 50 years. It's all about Punter at the moment, and even as a Kiwi living in the UK, for some reason i'd love him to do the business today." from cricinfo

Good reply by Simon

Khawaja's highest score is agianst South Africa now 39*. Keep up the good work boy.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

79 run partnership, good fightback by Aussies.

 

[khalil1986]

Hope Ponting can do a Ponting here, It really is fitting fo a player of his caliber to win this match and than he should retire on a high.
