South Africa vs West Indies | 5th ODI | Centurion | 28th January

[bill_123]

I know its a dead rubber but the pitch seems to be doing a fair bit

Amla doing well

 

[Jabo]

Rossouw doing well... no duck today

 

[adnan yasin]

This track has lot to offer for bowlers but West indies didnt utilize it propely

 

[Mr Consistent]

good hitting by Rossouw

 

[adnan yasin]

Really Really like this talent ... Riselle rossow .......... he is simply amazing

 

[Firebreaker]

Really Really like this talent ... Riselle rossow .......... he is simply amazing

But he hasnt fulfilled his talent till now

 

[adnan yasin]

But he hasnt fulfilled his talent till now

he will surely .... he is on his way for his 2nd ton

 

[Ottoman]

Another ton for Amla

 

[Firebreaker]

he will surely .... he is on his way for his 2nd ton

He is too inconsistent He is much better than 30 avg player

 

[soso_killer]

Rossouw looks much better @4 which is where he bats for his franchise.
Perhaps in the absence of QDK SA should consider opening with Faf who opens in t20 anyhow and let AB come in at 3 and let Rossouw bat @4, he can also at @3 as well.

 

[soso_killer]

Amla can't hit a 6?

 

[Mr Consistent]

big six by amla bahi

 

[Strike Rate]

He is too inconsistent He is much better than 30 avg player

De Kock was inconsistent too in start of his career and Miller is still inconsistent. Russow is going to score his second ODI in hundred 14 odi matches not bad got a fifty too

 

[Mr Consistent]

another big hit by bahi

 

[Strike Rate]

Amla can't hit a 6?

Let me call [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] Amla just hit his 4th six in the innings lol btw i remember watching Amla hitting many sixes in Ram Slam T20

 

[adnan yasin]

He is too inconsistent He is much better than 30 avg player

he is just a year old in this level....lots of superstars of today didnt even score this much when they started

 

[JustAnotherFan]

When #Amla hits more than 1 six in a game you know the bowling is bad

 

[Firebreaker]

De Kock was inconsistent too in start of his career and Miller is still inconsistent. Russow is going to score his second ODI in hundred 14 odi matches not bad got a fifty too

Hes more like Colin Ingram

 

[soso_killer]

SA's top order when they click are very scary, our middle order I chicken soup though.

 

[Mr Consistent]

hundred for Rossouw

 

[Firebreaker]

Why is Russouw wasting balls?

 

[soso_killer]

100 by Riille

 

[Strike Rate]

Hes more like Colin Ingram

yea i remember Ingram habit of scoring hundred and fifties

 

[Justcrazy]

Amla is a ODI beast

averaging 56.61

 

[Firebreaker]

yea i remember Ingram habit of scoring hundred and fifties

But now he is nowhere near SA team

 

[adnan yasin]

rillee just started his career ... he should be permanent top order batsman for SA

 

[Justcrazy]

240 / 2

15 overs to go.

This will be another massive total

 

[Strike Rate]

But now he is nowhere near SA team

because theyb have talent like Kock and Russow i will happily accept Ingram in current Pak team though

 

[soso_killer]

De Kock was inconsistent too in start of his career and Miller is still inconsistent. Rossouw is going to score his second ODI in hundred 14 odi matches not bad got a fifty too

Miller has been miss used, and the management have addressed this by having him bat at 5. Duminny is very good at 6 and does not take long to accelerate when the platform is set.

Miller has been very decent when given overs to settle.

You are right i think SA can have a very good to perfect batting line if they drop Behardeen but i think he is in the team because of his handy bowling.

 

[Ottoman]

100 for Amla

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well done #Amla!

 

[soso_killer]

19th hundred by Amla

 

[Mamoon]

Amla bhai is in sizzling form, watching the innings. Splendid batting, that six to Cottrell.

 

[Strike Rate]

Well done Amla my fav bat!

 

[Justcrazy]

the run machine

 

[Strike Rate]

Amla bhai is in sizzling form, watching the innings. Splendid batting, that six to Cottrell.

you missed the other 3 sixes i guess he can hit sixes but he don't do it often i have seen him hitting many in T20 tournament of SA

 

[soso_killer]

380 runs in this series for Amla, 2 50's and 2 100's at an average of 380 only dismissed once in the series.
And some of the pitches have been tough we should add.

 

[Mamoon]

I did, but this six wasn't typical Amla bhai which is why it was my favorite of the lot.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rilee is turning it on here

 

[Mamoon]

Should look for a 150 here, it will be amazing if he can eventually end up with an ODI average of 60.

 

[Justcrazy]

36.4
Holder to Rossouw, FOUR, goes down on a knee on off and paddles it fine down leg to just beat short fine leg for four. It was a catch for the fielder but he couldn't get there
Over the wicket now
36.3
Holder to Rossouw, SIX, middles it this time and gets six more, on the other side this time - over long on! Came down the track to take it on the full and smashed it down the ground
36.2
Holder to Rossouw, SIX, that's a full toss, don't think he has middled that but it goes all the way over long off! He wanted to smash it to leg and a top edge went straight down the ground all the way
36.1
Holder to Rossouw, FOUR, it's full and wide and Rossouw hammers it just wide of deep cover through the aerial route for a one-bounce four

 

[soso_killer]

you missed the other 3 sixes i guess he can hit sixes but he don't do it often i have seen him hitting many in T20 tournament of SA

Is our T20 competition broadcast overseas?

 

[Justcrazy]

This is pure carnage here

 

[Strike Rate]

Is our T20 competition broadcast overseas?

Yes Ten Sports and Super Sports are partners in broadcasting so they broadcast all cricket related stuff from each other.

 

[Strike Rate]

oh boy amla can play these type shots too lol

 

[Bilal7]

The fact that Irfan nearly made Amla his bunny shows the quality of the big man.

South Africa might just pip Australia for WC favourites in my opinion, depending on how the bowling does today.

 

[Panic_attack]

Glad to see South Africa in red hot form going into the wrod cup....all indications pointing to a unavoidable choke in the knock outs

 

[Justcrazy]

Amla now

 

[soso_killer]

Amla is a beat today, 6 4 4 so far of Cottrell

 

[Strike Rate]

5 Sixes and 8 fours for Amla so far

 

[Panic_attack]

Bishop is holding back his tears...feel sorry for him...this is very poor bowling

 

[Strike Rate]

Now this is some epic phainta!

 

[Panic_attack]

Has Amla cut his beard a bit...I kind of remember it being a bit longer

 

[Firebreaker]

Whatt an inning by Amla bhai here

 

[Abdullah]

I was impressed with how Rossouw picked up the length- really very good.
That is one of the things I look for in a batsman.
Russel bowled 1 at 147 back of a length and he deposited it into the stands.
You need talent to do that

 

[Panic_attack]

This Roussow is a dangerous cowlasher lol

 

[Strike Rate]

Has Amla cut his beard a bit...I kind of remember it being a bit longer

I think Moeen beard is coming your mind his is a bit longer

 

[Bilal7]

Poor guys deserve atleast a semi-final spot this time around.

 

[adnan yasin]

Another humiliation for West Indies

 

[Firebreaker]

Not underestimating Russouw innings here

 

[Mamoon]

du Plessis has lost form at the wrong time, still backing him to come good at the World Cup.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is insane hitting.

 

[Strike Rate]

Amla bhai showing these bit and pieces players their worth lol

 

[Anfield]

Amla with 5 sixes, wow!

 

[Bilal7]

Highest first and third wicket partnership for both these batsmen in this series alone. They make for a good partnership.

 

[Justcrazy]

300 up

 

[Panic_attack]

I think they will make it to semis this time...3 knock outs....have to choke sometime

 

[adnan yasin]

West Indies cant bowl yorkers or slower ones ??

 

[Panic_attack]

I think he is the only out and out non-choker in this side...really a clutch player

 

[Justcrazy]

SA in red hot form before WC. Looking like a serious challenger

 

[Strike Rate]

I think they scored same runs in this partnership like what happened in Wanderer 247?

 

[adnan yasin]

it would have been another six .. Rillee just stopped his shot .. didnt complete the full swing .......

Rillee gone

 

[Bilal7]

And this isn't a flat track either. These two have just batted beautifully and have been helped by some ordinary bowling.

 

[Justcrazy]

But damage already done

 

[soso_killer]

Glad to see South Africa in red hot form going into the wrod cup....all indications pointing to a unavoidable choke in the knock outs

Maybe you should concentrate on your own team.
How are the preparations going?
I hope you're not losing to "presidential XI's" of this world.

 

[Panic_attack]

I think Aus,Nz,WI(even though they are poor) and SA all have some dangerous cowlashers/hacks in the team....SC teams on the other hand depend on 1 or 2 or at the max 3 good players to deliver

 

[Justcrazy]

Miller walks in

308 / 3

39 overs

 

[Bilal7]

Maybe you should concentrate on your own team.

I hope you're not losing to "presidential XI's" of this world.

We have a WC and were the semi-finalists of the last WC. Stop being butthurt.

 

[adnan yasin]

length ball ... at this pace... dispatched for six ... by miller
