South Africa in West Indies

[squiz]

truly astonishing, everyone was riding them off in this series without lara, gayle, bravo etc.

True, although the pitch seems to have nothing in it for the faster bowlers. And South Africa have no spinners in their team. I do not count Nicky Boje and Graeme Smith as quality spinners. It'll probably end a draw.

well done Hinds and the ever reliable Chanderpaul!

briilant start by west indes they should make 600 but i dont think they have quality bowlers to get out the south africans

unless they chuck a few surprises in bowling as they did nt batting

 

[Dhoni]

Yeah mate! West Indies done well in batting and now they're gonna have to bowl well to get SA all out. Great batting by S. Chanderpaul and WW Hinds.

It wasn't a very good declaration. They should of batted on till lunch to try to reach 650 or so.

 

[sohum]

I think not because the pitch is too good to really try and force a follow-on. 5 wickets fell in almost 2 complete days of cricket. If West Indies batted any longer then they would be giving themselves less than 3 days to bowl South Africa out on a good pitch. I think the rain is also playing a major role in this game. Pretty good declaration I feel. If the pitch has any surprises, South Africa may still have to follow on.

Blimey! I thought this was their weaker side!

 

[T20]

Blimey! I thought this was their weaker side!

LOL! playing far better than the regular side..

 

[jdbais]

Their bowling side is pretty much the same as their full strength side. Their batting side didn't do all that well. Hinds and Chanderpaul are part of their full strength side anyway.

 

[sohum]

That's cause no one else really got a chance to bat!
