South African Tour of the West Indies, May-June 2010

120 from here would be a bare minimum, they need at least 140 to defend comfortably

Good effort by young miller and botha to get us some score. Too little I think but at least they got us something.

I know its only 20/20 but I reckon miller has shown enough to be picked above jp for the odi side. Amla will play instead of bosman so that's an non issue for me.

Because that will get you out for less then 100 on a wicket like this. This is a 120+ wicket so you cant go much faster.

So looking at what you have written wicket will get tougher now in IInd innings.. Making it difficult to bat on..

 

[pcfan123]

Need to get Gayle early and hope Steyn does not go off his rocker again and bowl a crapload of wides

Yea Gayle gone! Woohoo, now get Chanders!

hMarka added 0 Minutes and 36 Seconds later...

This pitch is awful, I want something for the bowlers but not such unplayably uneven bounce either

Like I said 120 is a good score on this wicket. Neither team is in top form, if this was against England or Australia then it would be a different story.

Its a brand new pitch so it will take a bit of time to get it proper. I don't like it much either but hopefully they can turn it into a Barbados like wicket.

Finally Fletchers has scored something in this match...

I just heard 8 ducks in 15 matches :laugh

I can bat better then him for sure...

 

[pcfan123]

No you cant

Damn wish AB had hung onto that, this SA pace attack looks great, even Morkel is coming into his own in limited overs. They are really going to have to go after Botha, those overs will make or break it for the windies

 

[Dare]

One of the big reasons why I dont want Shiv playing 20/20. Losing him to injury before the ODIs and Tests because of a pointless 20/20 is stupid.

 

[pcfan123]

Damn Bravo and Chanders have brought this close in the last 6 overs. 2 overs left of Steyn and Morkel so it should go right down the the wire.

 

[Params7]

2 for tie, final ball

 

[pcfan123]

Wow, South Africa lucky to take that, they were 20 runs short of a safe target and McLaren bowled an awful final over. He bowled 2 really bad full tosses, you dont need to be Mike Hussey to hit that over for 16

 

[Params7]

Sucks for Windies

 

[Dare]

Props to Sammy, dude is a hustler. He should be promoted just for his effort and fight in these last 2 overs. Good bowler, good batsman, great fielder and a hell of a player.

 

[LongLegs?]

Great match. South Africa lucky to get away with that last over from McLaren.

Miller looks a good talent though. Botha's the MotM you'd reckon.

Edit: And, yeah I agree with Dare. Sammy's pretty underrated. Does a good job whenever he plays.

 

[Garson007]

A collapse without Kallis to protect our abysmal top order was inevitable, but it was a good recovery from our lower order.
