19th Match - South Africa v West Indies

[Zinzan]

He didn't say it. Ever.

Lol Nice try OS. There was nothing in Adders' post relating to the question of whether Johnston actually said it.


Meanwhile... the Windies NRR is at risk of going deep underground here.

 

[Zinzan]

If SA bowl out WI for <118 it will be the biggest win in history.

Good man, was wondering about that.

 

[OverratedSanity]

whats the record vitcory margin in ODIs?

 

[viriya]

WI have never chased 300+ in ODIs.. I dunno why AB bothered.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So WI have messed up their net run rate and put themselves under pressure for qualification now. Gives Ireland a better chance anyway which is good.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Possibly another record? Most economical 5 wicket haul?

New Zealand beating Ireland by 290 runs.

and another, worst bowler to get one.

 

[Spikey]

Really wish SA pushing on with this team structure was possible, but that lack of a 6th bowler means it probably won't happen and JPD will come back in at 6

Pssst, Imran is a real good OD bowler.

 

[Flem274*]

So when I left South Africa were 1 down for 30 odd after 11 or 12.

Um?

 

[SkyBlue]

WI to get crushed by India too

Gayle scores triple hundred in the subsequent match against UAE crushing them by a huge margin and boosting their NRR in a process

West Indies go through,Ireland go out by virtue of NRR

Dont be surprised to see this happen

By 'this team structure' you mean Duminy and Philander in for Behardien and Abbott right; not this exact eleven?

 

[Howsie]

Damn, this team is just complete garbage.

Pakistan will lose to Zimbabwe and/or Ireland to make NNR unimportant obviously.

Yeah. So Riley stays at 4, Miller 6. Just looks stronger to me. But dat 6th bowler

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah I agree.

Behardien is terrible but exactly the type of player South Africa need in his position (lower middle order batsman who can fill in some seam-up overs) so he'll probably retain his spot.

 

[Zinzan]

Hard to know whether SA's poor batting display against India was just an anomaly or whether they are susceptible vs. decent-to-good attacks.

India really did bowl above themselves that evening, must be said.

 

[Spikey]

It was weird that when JPD returned from injury, they switched from a batting all-rounder (I guess that's what Behardien is supposed to be) to a bowling all-rounder (...I guess that's what Parnell is supposed to be). Seemed backward

 

[Niall]

Yeah I agree.

Behardien is terrible but exactly the type of player South Africa need in his position (lower middle order batsman who can fill in some seam-up overs) so he'll probably retain his spot.

He doesn't score runs though, the last time he done anything with the bat was ages ago and meaningless as Watson also went big in that match.


Its gun from Tahir to slice through them, but really after they went 3 down or so they should have been bowling Behardien andd even Faf and see what they are made off. Worst case scenario they get smashed, you then bring the main bowlers back on.
