[RehanG]

i hope zimbabwe wins today

 

[Lethalweapon]

Can any SA fan tell me , how can they drop their best T20 bat + top run scorer in T20s Graeme Smith for his ODI failures? Don't see his left arm seam weakness being a major factor here, it never was in T20s.
Not the conditions Levi would enjoy either.
I hate to say but this will lead to their failure in the tourney. Opposition will look to get the top 3-4 out quickly like 2011 WC.

Zimbabwe.. Masakadza should hit a Century..!!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Zimbo have beaten S.A in a recent tri-series in T20 format so they should fancy there chances of an upset here.

[sada90]

Both SL and SA are chokers!

 

[sazz]

[RehanG]

 

[sada90]

boring............

 

[sazz]

I think Zimbabwe will score around 120.

 

[sazz]

very good ball from Morkel

 

[Executioner]

This Sibanda guy is CRAAAP

Why zimbos keep playing him? oh wait they dont have any replacements in the top order

 

[imranq]

who is Farhaan Behardien

 

[sazz]

Lol empty stadium.

 

[sazz]

A very dull t20 match.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Morkel in his last over was actually quicker than steyn!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

A superb start for the proteas...zimbabwe just playing and missing everything

 

[truthseer]

What a beautiful test match with coloured clothing. Great innovation!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

4/1 after 3

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

South africa on paper look the strongest out of all the nations - but of course theres the chokers tag

 

[sazz]

another one bites the dust. Poor shot from Kaptan

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Morkel again....

 

[Executioner]

Zimbos are the worst team in this competition no doubt. Whats their strength? Batting bowling fielding?

And Taylor their best batsman is in horrible form esp. by seeing his performances in SLPL

They need miracle to win from now

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Good leave there by ervine

 

[sazz]

lol run rate below 2

 

[RehanG]

I think Zimbabwe will score around 120.

120 or 20?

 

[sazz]

just like that

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Four

 

[Executioner]

2 boundaries in a space of few del.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

 

[sazz]

Zimbabwe should attack Albie Morkel

 

[Executioner]

3rd wicket gone, piece of cake for SA

 

[sazz]

out kuch karo.

 

[RehanG]

next time bangladesh and zimbabwe also should take party in qualifying round i feel for Netherlands/Scotland

 

[truthseer]

This is too painful to watch. Almost like SA are playing our Gulli ki side

 

[asif9138]

[asif9138]

[sazz]

I can't see not a single person in the stadium.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

[MAJID-SHAH]

The drums and horns are going crazy

Lankan games are pretty dull. Even if India or Bangladesh had hosted it, atmosphere would have been better. Even UAE could have been used

34/3 after 8

 

[leatherface58]

The signs are there. Saffers will destroy every team in group and super eights. They will also choke in the semis vs a far less talented team

This looks like the band we have during marriages

 

[Munna]

This approach from zim batsmen would have been criticized even in tests
