*Official* South Africa in West Indies 2021

[MW1304]

Absolutely vintage West Indies team there, great to see. Would imagine some of those names won't be around too much longer, but I probably said that 5 years ago.

Should be up there with the favourites for the WT20.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So we are gonna be bowling first. No Simmons.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

does look like a very dry wicket?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

unless more weather messes up the WI innings they'd back themselves to chase 180+ never mind what SA will be putting up

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is gonna be finished in 15 overs

 

[slippy888]

is it bad bowling or just to good batting by windies

 

[Beamer]

Well that is the T20 equivalent of winning by an innings..... Comprehensive stuff and on the evidence of today at least, there is a pretty big gap between the 2 sides.

SA need to be way more productive in those middle overs to stand a chance.

 

[Beamer]

is it bad bowling or just to good batting by windies

Usual stuff from us, we simply hit more sixes than any other side and SA had no answers on a very good surface.

I'd also say that our bowlers were superb in the middle overs with their variations, leaving SA defending a total that was well under par.

 

[slippy888]

190 is a must here for South Africa

 

[slippy888]

Can they even scarmble 40 runs off last 4 overs they lack the power hitters

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good showing from my fellow Berbician, Kevin Sinclair

 

[slippy888]

Attocious white ball batting again from south africa

 

[Magrat Garlick]

admittedly only following from scoreboard but this chase feels a little more nervy than yesterday's

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Mind, even 66 off 28 isn't too big of an ask now that these two are settled

 

[Beamer]

So as good as yesterday was, today shows that we have a long way to go when the ball is turning and boundaries are hard to come by.

Fletcher pretty much played a match losing knock as well so surely he'd need to go for Simmons or Hety.

South Africa have been do much better in the field though, fair play.

 

[slippy888]

Why play 2 keepers in fletcher and pooran

 

[slippy888]

Fabian allen should bat in top 6

 

[Beamer]

Why play 2 keepers in fletcher and pooran

Can't help but feel Fletcher played because it's Grenada. It's harsh, but he put lots of pressure on the other batsmen to play shots in the middle overs.

 

[Beamer]

Fabian allen should bat in top 6

He's definitely a real talent.

 

[grecian]

Linde and Shamsi, pretty, pretty good.
