South Africa vs West Indies | 3rd ODI | Port Elizabeth | 27/1/08

Windies off to a good start 86 for 1 from 21 overs.

 

[Saj]

SA fight back and the Windies are now 114 for 3 from 30 overs.

Hey, Saj, I think you are living in the 80's ... that is a sloooooooooow start.

Currently 116/3 i.e. run rate of 3.74. Even Kallis bats faster than that.

 

[dblock]

114 off 30 is slow on most pitches.

Windies will be under pressure here to move things along without trying to lose more wickets.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Eish, nothing is worse than seeing Bouch standing at the wickets to Polly. No wonder he is retiring.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Bravo run out at non-strikers end by bowler Morne Morkel. Not too shabby reactions.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

WI 179/5 after 42.2

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Samuels really starting to pick things up now. 50 not out.

How quick is Morkel bowling, cricinfo has him down as right arm fast!

How quick is Morkel bowling, cricinfo has him down as right arm fast!

I know he bowls over 140, but Samuels has got hold of him. Hehe.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

211/6 after 45 overs. The game is worth watching now.

 

[dblock]

oops, since I mentioned him, he has been given quite a beating.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Samuels is playing well. He will deserve a ton.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Samuels is stuck on 98 on last ball ... does he get it ...

 

[JustAnotherFan]

caught in the deep ...

Life is a beech.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well, this will be a good game, WI were 252/7 which is a good score at St Georges Park.

 

[Rob H]

South Africa 193/3 at the moment off 39 overs. Kallis playing very well (yet again) on 87* guiding the Proteas to the victory by the looks of it. Samuels with a very good all round game with 1/38 off 10 overs to go along with his 98.

 

[pullshot]

South Africa 216/3 (43.3 ov)
JH Kallis* (rhb) 99 119 9 1 83.19

SAF 3-0 and win the ODI series. I am trying to persuade the handbag to go watch the final game at the Wanderers.

It will be Polly's last, but that is beyond my wife's understanding.
