Was all fun and games. Will actually take the spotlight away from Bouchers even more destructive innings.

Anyway, $1000 000 to charity and a new record

 

[Swervy]

no doubt in my mind SA would have reached 500 if they had the full 50 overs

 

[Richard]

That's still 150 off 10 - not an easy ask at all.

Only part of importance, TBH. Great stuff from JohnnieWalker.

I watched the last 5 or 6 overs, it was a joke, they would have done it.

I think they hit 175 or something like that in the last 11 overs

 

[Richard]

But Kallis and\or Boucher may have got out, and the next men in may have elected to take an over or 3 to get set, thereby taking the rate down to a "mere" 9.2-an-over, for instance.

Well I reckon they would have got 'em. I reckon even Nel might have got a boundary or two

 

[haroon510]

i don't even consider this a record. it is only against a minow team.... if he would have done it against sorta of a stronger team then that is what i call record.

Nel did get a boundary or 5 against Pakistan not so long ago...

Indeed but the charity donation is still nice.

you still have to hit 'em.

well there you go..Nel could have got a 30 ball hundred against Holland then

 

[Richard]

you still have to hit 'em.

You were saying (accurately, IMO) that it was a joke game a minute ago...

 

[haroon510]

yep but hit what type of delievers. it was all lose paceless deliveries.

 

[Swervy]

but still, its an acheivement..and it is in the World cup, and so it does count as a record, not much you can do about it really

 

[Richard]

Well you could strip the game of ODI status... would still be a WC game, obviously, but there's no way such games should be ODIs.

 

[Swervy]

I said that the hitting was a joke (in that it was so unbeleivable it was funny)... Boucher was smashing it big time and he did that against a serviceable county bowler like ten Doeschate.

My point is you still have to be hitting the ball well to be getting 6 6's in an over. I have seen bigger mismatches on the bowling/batting department and not seen 36 in an over before (well not live anyway, having seen footage of the Sobers thing)

well that isnt going to be done retrospectivly so we have to live with it

 

[Richard]

It will be if I get my way... just you wait and see.
