Early Blows for the Hosts

Nuwan Kulasekara celebrates the wicket of AB de Villiers​

South Africa 0/0, 1 over(0,0,0,0,0,0)
Nuwam Kulasekera given the new ball by skipper Kumar Sangakkara, starts of very well with a maiden. Kulasekera pitched all his balls on the off stump and two of six actually troubled Graeme Smith as both of them just went passed the outside edge to keeper. The rest four were left by the South African skipper, showing no urgency what-so-ever.

South Africa 12/1, 2 overs(4,4,W,0,4,0)
Wicket: Herchelle Gibbs c Jayawardene b Malinga 8(3)
A huge over for South Africa but they lose the first wicket of Herschelle Gibbs. Out of form Herschelle Gibbs started of with a bang by smashing Lasith Malinga for two consecutive fours, but the next gave simple catch to Mahela Jayawardene at slips of a length ball. New man Jacques Kallis got of the mark with a four towards fine leg.

South Africa 19/2, 3 overs(x,1,W,0,0,4,1)
Wicket: Jacques Kallis b Kulasekera 4(4)
Another successful over for the Sri Lankans. Graeme Smith who was on strike for the first ball gave the strike back to Kallis with a single, but next ball a brilliant late inswinger from Kulasekera went through the small gab between bat and pad of Kallis to hit the top of off stump. New man in Ab de Villiers took two balls to get of the mark with a textbook cover drive for four and ended the over with a single.

South Africa 20/2, 4 overs(0,!,1,0,0,0)
Another brilliant over for Sri Lanka by Lasith Malinga. A huge appeal by the Sri Lankan on the second ball for a leg before decision against AB de Villiers but the umpire said no. The hawkeye showed the ball could have just hit the bails but in the end was a good decision as the element of doubt was given to the batsman. De Villiers rotated the strike the next ball and Smith defended the remaining three balls.

South Africa 26/3, 5 overs(0,4,W,1,0,1)
Wicket: AB de Villiers c Kandamby b Kulasekara 10(10)
Yet another successful over for the Lankans as they get the import wicket of the inform AB de Villiers. AB de Villiers smashed the second ball - a short pitched delivery towards the deep square leg boundary but failed to get middle of the bat on the next short pitched ball and this time gave a simple catch to square leg fielder Thilina Kandamby. JP Duminy the new man in got of the strike straightaway with a single and skipper Graeme Smith kept the strike for the next over with another single.

No ICC 2009. Why?

Because you have made a very brave decision of over by over update which hasn't been proved easy for any writers to complete the series. Well, good luck

Yeah, I wanted to do different as I dont have Cricket 2005, 2007, or AC 2009, so it was either cricsim or ICC 2009 and ICC was better.
