South Africa vs Zimbabwe - What's the Point?

Boucher gets 2nd fastest ODI 100, of 44 balls. Beating Lara's and Afridi's (at Kanpur). Now the Beast has the fastest ODI 100 as well as the 3rd Joint ODI 100.
 
He takes a single so he can't break the record unless there's a no-ball
 
49.4 Rainsford to Boucher, 1 run, Dropped again, looks to go over the midwicket, gets a leading edge and goes miles in the air, Taylor calls for it, waits for the ball a long time and then drops the catch
 
50 overs are up and South Africa have made 418\5. Boucher 148*
 
I was hoping he would break some of Afridis records - next time perhpas.

In a way i was hoping he would break the record too which would entice Afridi to just go ahead and break it again.
 
he didnt deserve this11

he was dropped like 5-6 times

it isnt a beastly innings

it is the fluky innings

N OOOOOOOOOOO 6 record lost!!!! a 4 to get 150!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 record lost? i don't think so, muqta. Boucher hit 10, the Beats has 11.
 
why did u want him to beat the Beasts record anyway?

i reckon boucher was drunk on pepsi, like razzler in nottingham.
 
the reason uzzy has that would make sahid afridi crazy........ but in a way i didnt really want him to get it

drunk on pepsi!!!!!!!!! well ok......... but thats sooo funny! :)))
 
He was given way too many lifes. Even club 2nd x1 won't drop catches they way these guys did. Oh well, it was bouchers day.
 
Quite an amazing innings.

*Raises his bat to the crowd, it is his 12,000th run. :p

South Africa will have tough time during the Champions Trophy if they rejoice in these sort of big run making against sub standard teams .
 
:14: :14: well done Mark Boucher! though when Pakistan tour he will be back to consistently throwing his wicket away, and it was only against Zimbabwe...we should still enjoy this for what it is! Scoring a big hundred with an SR of 200 is good against anyone.

What are the chances we get a pedantic post from Marooned? :p
 
For some reason pakistan are very good at bringing emerging players down, pieterson was on a outburst untill he toured pakistan where he met the might of Akhtar and Co.!

even hussey i think will feel the might!
 
RANA!!!! YOU HAVE A POINT BUT PAKISTAN ARE!!!! GOOD AT LOOSING THERE OWN YOUNG PLAYERS WHERES YASIR HAMMED??

Yaisr is pants, he's a fish and chips player, fishes at everything. ok fine we have an opener problem, but yasir is not the answer. I reckon its out of these four: Malik, Farhat, Salu, Hafeez.

yeah but theres a reason for that, for some reason the pakistan team likes to always go for the safe option, not demolishing teams, just make sure they win.

an example for this is the 2006 scotland ODI, why didnt they bat first and go for some record breaking chances like RSA and sri lanka have done recently??

btw 7-0
 
The point of this series? To expose Zim to top-class cricket. And exposed they have!
 
ok, after 20 overs i think zimbabwe want to go for complete attack!
 
the point of this series was for players like kallis to improve their strike rates so upon expiration of their shelf life, players like him can have a solid claim in the hall of fame.

He was still the only batsman to have a strike rate of less than 100 :p
 
Duffin needs 32 to make a century, he has a posible 60 balls!
 
Zimbabwe 201/2 (43.0 ov)

Pretty decent reply by zimbo standards!
 
oh well Duffin goes for 87.

no welcome back century for zimbabwe!
 
221/4

Duffin was LBW for 87, pretty decent total put up by the Zimbabweans.
 
Pitch must be as flat as Kiera Knightly's chest!
 
the match is still going on!!!!!!!!!!! 87 zimbabwe player 201/2 43 ov not bad for zimbabwe but i suppose SA dont care how good they bowl they know they've won
