Group A - Australia, South Africa, Scotland, Holland

[TT Boy]

'Smart thinking' by Gibbs, Clarke his only going at a run a ball…

 

[TT Boy]

300 up, Aus will be looking to add at least another 100. Anything under 400 is a bonus for South Africa.

 

[TT Boy]

Good over by Hall and as long as Ntini does not comeback South Africa still have a decent chance of restricting Australia to only 8 runs an over.

 

[TT Boy]

Tasty shot there from Clarke.

 

[Goughy]

More rubbish from Pollock. Two full tosses outside leg in the over.

Can't remember him bowling that badly in an ODI. 0/83 off his 10.

He may have got hit, but he didnt bowl badly at all in his first spell. Aus just made a concerted effort to hit him off his line.

He may have got hit, but he didnt bowl badly at all in his first spell. Aus just made a concerted effort to hit him off his line.

Gave a fair bit of width on a few occasions and got smashed away when he did in his first couple of overs. Rest of his spell was on a dime as always, though. Can't say that about the end of his 10.

 

[PhoenixFire]

**** me, isn't Ponting just something else?...............

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Ponting gone just short of his century. No WC record yet, and no three centuries in the innings either. Probably means the end of 400 too, if it was still possible.

Wonder if it will be Symonds or Hussey?

 

[TT Boy]

Captain gone.

 

[TT Boy]

Clarke motoring now.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Hussey can go crazy at the end of an innings, I'd have him in before Symonds.

 

[GIMH]

I hope Hussey comes in, he's my captain in fantasy Cricket and he's done **** all thus far

edit - I see Symonds is in. Hope he gets out tbh

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah Hussey needs less time to play himself in normally. Guess it's not a huge loss either way, though.

edit: Symonds smacks a low full toss for 4.

 

[TT Boy]

Clarke run out.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Clarke out for 92. Deserved 100. I put a bit on him getting man of the match earlier too, as he was paying $17. Won't get it over Hayden now, unless he takes a few wickets too.

Hussey in.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Symonds out according to Cricinfo live scores.

Edit, it's a run out, thought not.

 

[TT Boy]

No dicking around from Hussey...

Four and out.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Reminds me of when Clarke got himself out for 90 odd in the 2005 Ashes.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Another cheap dismissal for Hussey. Average taking a pounding.

 

[TT Boy]

Hussey needs to bat at four, his average is almost becoming 'normal'.
