Scintallating knock by the one and only Brian Charles Lara!
:D>
 
Brilliant batting by Lara, really pummeling them now!


And i'm sorry to dash your hopes RH, but i'm not gay at the moment. But who knows, maybe down the line my mum'll suddenly start wanting me to draw her naked or i'll have some other experience strong enough to rewire my orientation. Never lose hope :**
 
Chanderpaul gone! And he was looking so good! Lets see what Pagon can do. Hes got a good reputation so hopefully he can stick around with Lara.
 
pagon gone for a duck

clean bowled by ntini

w.i 204/5

s.africa on top
 
And just i was talking about Pagon he goes! Bravo really needs to prove himself here. I feel he hasnt done complete justice with the bat either at ODI or Test level.
 
The pitch isnt flat, there is some bounce and grass aids swing and seam early on. every dismissal has been self-induced.
 
Yeah i agree. Gayle and Sarwans was very disappointing!
 
Bravo gone now! Wickets are falling like leaves here!
 
w.i 225/6

browne almost goes aswell... looked plumb

not given

i agree after seeing replays... looked plumb on 1st impression, watching replays can change ur view thou.
 
yeah imagine how tuf it is for the umpires...they get one shot and if theyr wrong as u wud have been there, had u been the umpire..theyr dead meat.
its just so tuf for them to compete with the high tech gadgets out there
 
if i was the bowler i wud have been screaming LBW.

yes umpires get things wrong but thats made worse beacuse off 10,000 diff replays...!

i think players shud be made to umpire at some point to see how hard it is
 
ALEEM DAR IS ACTUALLY WAQAR YOUNIS!!
 
where are tino best, fidel edwards and jeramine lawson??
these 3 were until recently regarded by WI experts as the future of WI bowling..... :|
 
lara doint it once again.
he score like 60%+ of the total runs.
truly amazing
 
97.4 Ntini to Powell, OUT: Gone! good come back delivery from Ntini!
from wide of the crease, angling in and keeps low, Powell unable
to digs it out, ball hits the middle stump
 
100.4 Nel to Collins, OUT: pitches outside off and swings in, Collins
goes back and tries to play across the line, ball hits on pad
plumb infront of middle stump, shout for lbw, finger goes up in
flash
 
104.4 Nel to Lara, OUT: Gone! from round the wicket, slower ball, pitches
on middle stump and shapes away, Lara tries to defend it on the
frotn foot, gets beaten, ball clips the bail on the top of off
stump on the way to keeper, a great innings comes to an end


Lara just missed put on double century. 196
 
WOWWWWW!!! DID ANYONE SEE THAT DELIVERY!!!

I was watching the match hoping to see 200 from Lara then OUT OF NOWHERE WOW!!

ABSOLUTELY UNPLAYABLE FROM NEL!! FREAK DELIVERY!
 
Current score 113-2 with Smith on 50 and Kallis on 15.

CH Gayle (OB) 9 6 7 0 0.78 (0nb, 0w) Pavilion End

Gayles current figures! Hes so underrated as an off spinner and underused at Test level.
 
Hasan316:

Welcome to PP!

hope to see some good posts on other topics as well.

Do you think Lara will be the only big threat for Pak in their tour ?
 
well Lara, Gayle, Powell and Sarwan will take care of batting. there bowling is weak. with only Collins and Dillion. Lara can do anything in test Cricket. I hope we can spot a 500 by LARA VS PAK when we visit WI.
 
If we want to win in WI we need an opening partnership of 100 runs at least. what do u think? Lara can make 60% of what WI scores.
 
did you see at what rate SA is playing its around 2.75
Smith is really master in kiling the time
atleast they should play faster so that a result can be had
 
Zondeki still battling it out (nightwatchman)
5 off 15 so far
 
Zondeki still in there on 11. He is doing what he did at Headingly 2 years ago. just sticking around frustrating the bowlers
 
West Indies 347

South Africa 238/4 (92.0 ov) South Africa trail by 109 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

South Africa RR: 2.59


Minimum overs
remaining today: 65.0
 
Sa are playing so slow...apparently they either want a draw or dont wanna bat in the 2nd innings..its slow and boring stuff
 
Latest score 286-5 South Africa with Gibbs and Prince batting.
 
Collins to Gibbs, OUT: round the wicket, shortish, stays low, can
not get the bat down in time, off stump is knocked back
 
serves Gibbs right. He was batting as if his life depending on him breaking the record for slowest ever innings.

This SA team seems very negative, boring and defensive to me. I suppose it is all Woolmer's fault.
 
zzz

It's the same old Saffie mentality.

Play for a draw. Let the opposition play for a draw. A draw away from home is as good as a win.

zzzzzzz . Yawwwwwwwwwwwwn. Those guys are boring
 
I am currently unsubscribed from Sky Sports so I am somewhat deprived from watching this " entertainment".

By the looks of it, Saffies seem to want to " bore" the other team into defeat - quite like the tactics England used to win that Karachi 2000 test.
 
GAYLE GOBBLES UP THE TAIL

SA 398 all out

WI 14/1 Gayle out for 1

wi trail by 37 runs

We were as much at fault as were the English in that particular series.
 
Gayle looked like a crap batsman in this game but he bowled like a specialist bowler

Windies now 47 for 1 and this game seems to be heading towards a very dull draw
 
this sucks now. But still Lara is the best. next inning inshallah we will see him hitting 500.
 
SA still using the woolmer way. when will they ever learn?

WI look to have improved, cricket needs a good WI team.

how are u miss karim?
 
This sort of run rate and send anybody to sle zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
Windies now 86 for 4 with a lead of only 35 runs.

The Carribean boys have a long tail and so I cannot see them setting S.A a big target.

I predict 1-0 series lead to S.A
 
sajjad, it will take u so far but teams like Aus willing to take risks will always win out.

funny how the team that played attacking cricket in the bangalore test was the one who got the result!
 
Bob is doing what he did with SA with Pak.
Maybe Sachin could learn from this approach!! then we wouldnt have had to yearn for the times he took bowlers apart at will!
 
Bob has turned the pakistani team around.
we're almost EVEN with india in India....wow....even aus wud be proud of that

woolmer zindabad!!!
 
great point amjad. Pak now need to carry on their form to the Windies
 
inzi did admit that india going into their shell handed it to Pakistan however they deserve a lot of credit for how they hung on in there.

turned the team around? well........u should wake up and smell the coffee. not even winning satisfies Aus, they are always looking to better themselves!
