West Indies tour of South Africa

[jeromedascorp]

304/2!!! Gayle played an excellent innings. But how bout Powell? His S/R was 200+!!! Sadly he didnt get his 50. ran a single instead of waiting for the last ball. But 49 off 24 is magnificent.

B) powell hold the record for the fastest 50

Powell doesn't even feature in the top 15 fastest 50s in ODIs.

What a match 5th ODI was! A real nail bitter! I wish when India play Pakistan, every match ends this way. Anyway it was really a good match. If you're a real cricket fan then you would love it. It was good that Ravi Rampaul eyes was full of tears. He really worked hard for his team : but couldn't won the match for his team :sorry: :bow:

South Africa secured the series in an exciting last ODI.

Result

West Indies: 304/2 (Gayle 152 not out, Chanderpaul 85)
South Africa: 310/6 (Smith 58, Kallis 139)

South Africa win by 4 wickets

Man of the Match and of the series: Jacques Kallis

why did Kallis get MOTM and not Gayle? Did he take a few catches or sumthin?

Ricky, just an advice. Do not post stuff, which you do not know about. You are making yourself look like a joker.

I remember that guy, Sonu Bhavsar, he was just like you.

It should have gone to Gayle. He got a wicket as well.

But, Kallis' innings made his team win. That's the reason.

Oh ok,

Gayle scored more runs and wasted only 1 ball. Kallis scored fewer runs at a ower strike rate and didnt pick up any wickets. But I guess kallis got it cos it was such a high scoring and close match. Anway, good job by bothe teams. I wish every match played anywhere in the world could be like this.

I am not sure that it would have been so nice because then after a few series the captain of both the teams(along with a few supporters) would get high blood pressure (which as u all know may lead to heart attck) :

 

[jeromedascorp]

I agree with u indyan. shoaibaslam said he hoped that the Ind-pak matches were all like this. Can u imagine the number of ppl that would get heart attacks? It hapenned during the Independence Cup match in Dhaka. But for a young cricket fan it would be great.

windies lost the match because of poor fielding.

 

[indyan]

Ya .U can't win a close match if u give away 3 extra runs in the final over by misfielding.

 

[nik]

crap performance by the windies!!! :
