***Official*** South Africa v West Indies

[aussie]

an interesting ODI series in prospect, i reckon someone will win 3-2

 

[shaka]

South Africa narrowly beat the Jamaica XI by 29 runs.
Scores:
SA- 245 all out (50 ov)
-Dippenaar 64, Boucher 59, Prince 32, Lawson 4-39, B Brown 4-41

JA- 216 all out (46.1 ov)
-Gordon 70, B Brown 37*, Clarke 23, Pollock 4-18 (8ov), Nel 2-36 (7ov)

Notables: SA- de Villiers 0, Kemp 21, Ontong 0-53 (7ov), Langeveldt 1-32 (9ov)
JA- Marshall 11, Samuels 6, Baugh 13, Washington 0-20 (4ov)

I know you mean the jamaican team, but it looks as if its says JA Marshall, ie James Marshall of NZ. Although his initial are JAH.

 

[andyc]

anyone know how long till it starts?

 

[superkingdave]

Nice catch by Gibbs to remove Gayle

 

[Pratters]

Average score in Sabina Park in the first inning is only 226

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's yer lot: 253 off 48.4 overs. Great yorker from Langeveldt to dismiss Collymore for a first-baller.

Mental aberration from Pedro Collins just before that, a strong LBW appeal & he wanders out of his crease for Boucher to throw down the stumps from behind.

 

[Pratters]

One good LBW shout by Collins and one good shot by Dippenaar

 

[Pratters]

Edges going for runs. Good bowling, specially from Collins not rewarded.. should have placed atleast a second slip from Collins

 

[roseboy64]

Well this sucks.

 

[Don]

its my fault if i stayed home and watched we would have been ontop

 

[Pratters]

Okay is it just me or have the Windies pitches seemed flatter than ever before this season.

Can anyone explain the logic in moving Gibbs to the middle order and replacing him with Dippenaar?

Long term it doesnt make much logical sense according to me.

Versus Windies on a flat track like this one it wouldnt and didnt make much difference. Dippenaar infact hit a massive six and played a good inning. I doubt if Gibbs couldnt do better providing his form is okay.

The only logical reason which South Africa might give is loss of form for Gibbs

HH Gibbs 4 5 0 119 49 23.80 29.38

 

[marc71178]

The only thing I can think of is that the long term view is de Villiers to open, so Gibbs won't (unless Smith encounters another bowler that's too good for him and decides he has to hide in the middle order) - therefore they want to get him used to batting in the middle order.

 

[aussie]

why didn't AB devilliers play was he injured or something

 

[shaka]

they probably want to give him some rest time.

 

[marc71178]

It must be being rested - obviously tired out from his marathon bowling stint then having to take the gloves!

 

[shaka]

oops, i meant it to go in black caps thread, sorry!

Live Cricket

Can anyone tell me where I can get live video for SA vs WI ODIs coming up? I am in USA. Thanks in advance.

 

[Pratters]

Good over by Pollock. The pitch showed it has some thing for the faster bowlers too..
