[shahidrazzaq]

Huge Bounce From Nel!
Hit A Six On Him Gayle!

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Playing better WI.

 

[Straight Bat]

gayle pulls a probable four, needs to be checked

 

[infamous9383]

4 runs brings up wi 50

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bosman gives away 4 with slide onto rope

50 up for W.I

 

[saffer]

shot by gayle....

 

[shahidrazzaq]

[Rob H]

short and Gayle hammers Ntini for another 4

 

[infamous9383]

another four for gayle

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bang cowlashed thru covers for 4 by Gayle!

 

[Straight Bat]

smashed by gayle four

 

[saffer]

Gayle looking himself for the first time this world cup...where was his form when they needed it ?

 

[shahidrazzaq]

good shot but straight to the fielder.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully Gayle can stick around for another 30 overs..

 

[Straight Bat]

gayle 27*
smith 25*

 

[Straight Bat]

pulled by smith for four!!!!

 

[infamous9383]

good pull shot for 4 by smith. crowd getting into it.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Fking hell... what a shot!

boom swatted away for 4 by D smith!

 

[shahidrazzaq]

gayle playing powerfully.

 

[infamous9383]

61/1 after 10 overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I 61/1

and S.A one dimensional, one paced attack looking average here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

2nd powerplay been used now..

 

[infamous9383]

PP 2 has been taken.

 

[Phuzz]

woh this is better than cricinfo here with commentary, and far more up2date.

 

[MCMLXXXII]

Who is the 5th bowler for SA?

Also, I think SA will greatly miss Langveldt in this match.

 

[Rob H]

OUT! Smith you fool, he smacks it straight to the man at cover who takes a good catch.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Smith gone, catch looks abit dodgy!

Nel strikes.

 

[infamous9383]

Devon smith is gone

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wicket falls at wrong time for W.I

 

[MCMLXXXII]

He was the one setting the pace of the innings too. The runrate will drop now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

BC lara new man in...

 

[MCMLXXXII]

I am following this on cricinfo and I have no idea how far behind they are. If its not too much to ask, could posters here also write the ball number here like 12.2 or something, will makes things much easier, especially when there are consecutive fours or sixes which you can't really tell here.

 

[saffer]

gayle out...run out prince...


sorry west indies.....i really feel for you...

 

[infamous9383]

drama here as they decide to go for 3rd umpire. Gayle is gone

 

[infamous9383]

the hopes of west indies are gone

69/3 after 11.3

 

[Easa]

Gayle gone!

 

[Easa]

Lara special needed here!

 

[MCMLXXXII]

Thats another difference between the two teams. The WIndies were never able to get direct hits which cost them the game on several occasions.

 

[MCMLXXXII]

the hopes of west indies are gone

69/3 after 11.3

The hope has just arrived for WI and he is at the crease now. He was the only hope. He should change his name to Obi-Wan Kenobi.

 

[MCMLXXXII]

After 15 overs, WI is 87/3

Where did everyone else go?

 

[saffer]

99/3,,,,sarwan looking good....


no one doubt the west indies ability....just seems a huge ask from here....

 

[12thMan]

match is at a vaeeeery crictical stage and everyone is glued to the TV in anticipation

And a chokkkaaaa
Wii 99-3

 

[saffer]

117/3 ...

 

[usman_ash14]

lara gone, match over.............

 

[aliff]

Lara gone and so is WI's hope

 

[saffer]

119/4

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lara gone drags on from an inocious kallis delivery!

 

[161]

Lara gone ...

and the west indies going home as well ...


wait a second ...


they already are home

 

[shahidrazzaq]

better playing by WI. Now Bravo needs to stay there.

 

[12thMan]

Wii 126-4 after 21 overs. need 231 from 29 overs @ 7.97

 

[MCMLXXXII]

I have heard this Pollard guy is a good 20/20 player? What is known about him? He has only played 4 List A matches and doesn't average too well in the team. Must have been selected on some basis, what is it?

 

[usman_ash14]

he has scored two first class centuries in 70 odd balls and hitting six sixes in both the centuries in 6 matches

 

[shahidrazzaq]

dangit. they need a miracle to win. COMN RAMDIN AND SARWAN!

 

[shahidrazzaq]

I mean Polard.

 

[Daoud]

I have heard this Pollard guy is a good 20/20 player? What is known about him? He has only played 4 List A matches and doesn't average too well in the team. Must have been selected on some basis, what is it?

Potential?

Would be the opposite of our WC selections

 

[shahidrazzaq]

he has scored two first class centuries in 70 odd balls and hitting six sixes in both the centuries in 6 matches

he probly can help right now in this match. WI need to smack SA outta the PARK! LETS GIVE THEM SOME ENCOURAGEMENT GUYS!

 

[Straight Bat]

pollard gets a 4

 

[12thMan]

Wii 151-5 after 26 need 206 to win from 24 overs @ 8.6
SA was 135-1 but WI has lost too many wickets

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Yeah!
Go Pollard! Six Sixes!

 

[Straight Bat]

LBW appeal turned down..

 

[MCMLXXXII]

How does Pollard look out there? Fluent strokes? flashy? edgy? confident? some insight would be helpful.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

It was going onto Middle and off.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

I might've gaven it out.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

They missed a runout just now.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

I wonder if WI have a miracle.
