Windies v SA score thread

[Rob H]

2 early losses for the windies in the same over. Nel took the wickets of Smith and Ganga
51-2 the current score

 

[tahaqureshi]

they shouldn't lose another wicket until the score is atleast 225.

 

[Amjid Javed]

latest --> west indies 68/2

wicket is bone dry and 400 is a minimum here i think. ball will reverse sometime in afternoon.

wavell hinds has looked good thus far and donavan pagon has looked very neat player...

 

[Amjid Javed]

pagon getting better and better, so much time to play the ball. very straight in defence. only his 1st game but guy looks alot better than a few others tried recently..

latest 82/2

 

[Amjid Javed]

wavell hinds continues to trash the loose ball around.. hes onto 46

score 86/2

 

[Uzi]

Anyone watching it on skysports?

 

[Rob H]

yeh, i was until my sis decided to watch a music channel

 

[Amjid Javed]

Anyone watching it on skysports?

yeah i am +

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for wavell hinds... good inns thus far

gets there with leg glanced 4

w.i 93/2

 

[Rob H]

Good to see the Windies doin well without all the big names.

 

[Amjid Javed]

west indies 96/2 - good batting from hinds and pagon

crowds been awesome, lots off noise and atmosphere.

 

[Oxy]

Shocking over rate. Only 26 overs. Maybe Nel should more time bowling and less time sledging.

 

[Oxy]

Whats the latest on Sarwan/Gayle...didnt they canacel their agreement with C&W and make themselves available for the 1st test?

WICB is worse than PCB & BCCI combined!

 

[Rob H]

They cancelled contract but they weren't ready in time for the 1st test

 

[Amjid Javed]

gayle and sarwan delibrately cancelled 1day b4 test to make a point...! i hope all the new comers do well and the oldies shudnt be allowed back!

 

[Rob H]

I'm also glad Kallis went for 14 off 2 overs. Serves the selfish git right.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I'm also glad Kallis went for 14 off 2 overs. Serves the selfish git right.

dont worry when lara and co are back... kallis wont bowl due to tight hamstring

 

[Rob H]

lol

 

[Amjid Javed]

pagon goes to a loose shot for 35... a sad end to what was some promise...

skipper chnaderpaul in now...

west indies 106/3

nel has 3 wkts today...

 

[pakdesi]

is it on sky sports extra

 

[Hussain]

I do get a feeling tht this thread shud better be titled as
South Africa VS West Indies A

As all the main players of the WI are out due to some contract problems

 

[Amjid Javed]

No, sky sports 3

 

[Amjid Javed]

latest --> w.i 120/3 rain stopped play

 

[Amjid Javed]

chanderpaul must have the worst stance in world cricket today... but some how it works for him..!

lastest 133/3

 

[Amjid Javed]

Boje into attack and straight away hinds goes after him..!

latest 150/3

pitch already starting 2 keep low on day 1!

 

[Amjid Javed]

what a shot... hinds smashes boje out off the stadium...! its on the main road!

 

[Oxy]

13 off that over. Boje falling apart!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Boje is only bowler who shows variety in s.african attack.. rest off it is medium fast seam up.

hinds ahs done right thing here going after him.

hinds is a good batsmen, who shud be doing better average wise.. i remember his debut series v pakistan where he scored 160+ in 1 tests.

 

[Amjid Javed]

shockingly Boje has been taken off and skipper graham smith on now!

 

[Rob H]

Amazing stuff from Hinds. In that over

 

[Amjid Javed]

100 for hinds.... very well played.

great responsability shown!

[Amjid Javed]

The crabs batting very well.. hes onto 47 with a leg glanced for 4

w.i 219/3

 

[Amjid Javed]

[Oxy]

Fantastic atmosphere-great crowd;calypso cricket; fans up trees; runs galore!

Just like old times.

 

[Oxy]

Hinds doing a 'Greenige'...injured and scoring at twice the speed'

I dont ever recall a side looking so ragged and lost so early on in a test match.

Smith doesnt have a clue what to do...and people criticise Inzi.

 

[Amjid Javed]

west indies 275/3

hinds 161 not out... dropped on 12 by herschelle gibbs! ouch!

i bet gibbs feels like an idiot!

Oxy, smith is a poor captain. even worse than inzi!

 

[Amjid Javed]

West Indies 283/3 off just 64 overs...

[GamBiTT]

West Indies 347/3 (80.5 ov)

Issay ketay hein PHAINTAA !!

WI scoring at above 4 an over for the loss of only 3 wickets in 80 overs. Must be an absolutely DEAD track or really bad bowling by SA.

 

[Khalil]

South African bowling is usually mediocre with the absence of Pollock

 

[Oxy]

Gambitt...both. Flat track, but really bad bowling also.

 

[Amjid Javed]

347/3 off just 80 overs

captains inns by chanderpaul very good ton

i also hope wavell hinds gets a triple ton.. hes currently 188*

 

[pakistani pride]
