I don't think I've heard more openly frustrated commentary. Holding sounds like he's gonna storm out of the box anytime now.

Wouldn't say this game is over yet. Pretty flat pitch and despite Windies batsmen not batting well over all in the world cup till now, they have some pretty good players including one Brian Lara. Still, South Africa big favourites.

Well, Smith won't hand Lara a powerplay in the last 6 overs, so that may hurt WI a bit.

South Africa seem like they're waiting for the last PowerPlay to be taken here - it'd be interesting if Lara played on that fact and did something really brave like saving it for overs 45-50...
Well, it actually happened. It didn't work at all, but it certainly did make it "interesting." :p

Jimmy Adams is now trying to defend Lara deferring the Powerplay, claiming that he was waiting for someone to break the de Villiers/Kallis partnership. Why did he not use it once Kallis went? Why did he not take it while Sarwan and Gayle had put the brakes on (slightly) on the run rate?

Yeah, I was actually in favour of delaying it at the time, because SA had several wickets in hand and seemed to be waiting for it before the launch. Once Kallis got out though, I definitely would have taken it.

Poor AB. Some of the most hilarious batting I've ever seen. Every time he hit the ball he fell on his backside!:laugh: :laugh: But excellent knock. Showed a lot of courage.
Now let's hope our bowlers can back the batsmen up.
