India v South Africa in Ireland

[sohum]

India on fire. it would be hard to lose from here.

@ Sohums last point: I think the conditions will change and become more batter friendly.
We need to get rid of gibbs and kemp. both are great finishers. Cmon india.

Would be quite easy for India to lose from here. The conditions may change but the pitch has been covered a while. Not to mention Ntini and Nel at their speed will only need a little bit of movement. I think this match could get very close. Gibbs, Kemp, Boucher and Hall should ensure that South Africa get to a defendable target.

Ah shucks, Karthik dropped what would have been a great catch.

South africa are playing slow

karthik drops kemp, we could rue that...

No you won't, Kemp is a poor player

 

[Cricketman]

Well i guess this could be considered the 'death' of the innings (20th over btw). Piyush yet to get the ball.
But these two are bowling well.
Kemp picking it up now, pulls Ganguly to the fence.
Drat.

Well, I think we're beginning to rue it. Kemp with back to back boundaries and we've got Chawla still to bowl.

 

[Cricketman]

No you won't, Kemp is a poor player

You sure?
:
consecutive boundaries.

His statistics are actually pretty solid. I was actually surprised when I saw them. Averages a few runs above 30. I would have thought he would be in the 20's since he's been far from consistent.

I doubt he'll even finish his 6, i got a feeling he'll bowl 2 or 3 and let Yuvraj or Sachin bowl the rest...depends how he bowls
Attempted slog sweep and body language looking bad now. Pick it up India!

 

[sohum]

consecutive boundaries.

Even Balaji has done that.

 

[Cricketman]

Even Balaji has done that.

But Balaji owns!!:cool:

Chawla in now.

 

[sohum]

Already dispatched for a boundary. As long as he doesn't bowl to Kemp, I think we should be fine. Although Gibbs hits them big as well.

I think we need to bring in Zak or Ajit to get some quick wickets.
Oh noes...runrate above 3!! Yuvraj in now what did i say? Rahul Dravid and I share a brain

Run rate above 3 is not much of a problem... as long as it stays under 4. And glad to hear Dravid has multiple brains. I had quite suspected it.

 

[Cricketman]

He's bowling well. Going through his over quickly. Getting kemp under pressure. Good bowling Yuvraj!
What India need is a specialist death innings bowler and lately thats been Yuvraj sing.
You'd think that a part time off spinner would get killed in the last 10 but Yuvi has done well!
