Group B - Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka

[pasag]

22 runs off the second last over, disappointing after SL top effort all innings. Great hitting from Peterson though.

 

[pasag]

200 up.

Damn Peterson.

 

[TT Boy]

Sri Lanka losing the plot here.

 

[TT Boy]

Damn Peterson.

Damn Maharoof, ****ing awful bowling.

 

[Dravid]

Peterson's out. Bowled, 218-8

 

[Dravid]

Malinga on a hat-trick

 

[pasag]

Damn Peterson.

All the action happening in the last two overs.

 

[Dravid]

Malinga on a hat-trick.

You posted the same exact thing as me at the same time.


Anyway....219-9. Good score after looking at how they started off

 

[pasag]

Damn Maharoof, ****ing awful bowling.

Indeed

 

[Jono]

Malinga's yorkers are damn good at the death. Didn't bowl well early though.

Either way, it was the Vaas show today.

 

[pasag]

Poor start by SL.

21/2 after 9 overs.

 

[Jono]

Yes! Awesome.

Both Tharanga and Jayasuriya going out, and SA being well in this game help some of my CT bets.

There may still be hope for SA topping their group who knows.

 

[Mahindinho]

Bugger. That Pollock's a bit good

 

[Jono]

Vaas and now Pollock showing that pace don't matter when you've got accuracy and class

 

[sideshowtim]

Aww no fair, I got kicked out of cricbuzz for talking up Tharanga.

 

[Poker Boy]

Good fightback by SA so far - but lets see what Nel, Kallis and Peterson can do. Smith to bowl? And I know I'm not the first to say this but SL play one seamer too many - they MUST have another spinner. He would have surely done better than Mahroof....

 

[Mahindinho]

Just had a message from my sister, asking if I knew any websites offering streaming audio coverage - she's trying to get some commentary for our father.

Any ideas? I can't think of any.

 

[Jono]

Andre Nel you gun.

Hopefully Jayawardene can stay there and get runs for himself, but SA get over the line.

Group B will be impossible to predict if SA win this game.

 

[TT Boy]

Haven’t been able to catch all of today’s game but I don’t think South Africa have a pray. Looks a decent batting wicket, hardly any turn for the spinners and the bounce has been pretty consistent. It possibly get slower and lower but South Africa really should have got at least 250.

Maybe they do. All depends on Jayawardene.

 

[Poker Boy]

37-4 - we'll see what the SL lower-order is made of! One thing is certain about this group - if SL lose they'll be in trouble . All four teams would have 2 pts, Pakistan from 1 game, SA and NZ from 2 but SL will have finished their programme. They would need two Pakistan wins to help them and even then it would go to net RR.
