**Official** West Indies in South Africa Thread

I guess that was aimed at me

Don't think it was...

Im sure he is good enough to change his game when the runs stop coming...

Except what effect on his current style would a change have - some say it would restrict that part considerably.

Why didnt Kallis comeout before Pollock, his arm was broken so I cant see what the problem would be.

When something swells up, it generally means it isnt broken.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Speaking of McKenzie, i think he has the nicest technique in cricket ...

It's a shame that he was out in that ridiculously idiotic fashion then.

Why would Kallis return in the last 30 mins of play after South Africa lose 3 wickets for 1 run? Best he come out the next day, fresh. I think Pollock acted like a nigh****chman in that way.

it wasn't ridiculously idiotic fashion, just bloody unlucky!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

it wasn't ridiculously idiotic fashion, just bloody unlucky!

In what way? Why would he possibly have to play at that ball? He went onto the back foot and played a backward defensive shot to drag on a 50mph delivery which was a about a foot and a half wide of the stumps. Very unlucky...

Nope - idiotic does it for me

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Not much to be said. Boucher bowled off a noball on 15 and never looked back.

What I can say is that it could be worse.

*glances at Australia/India 'card*

 

[Adamc]

SA all out ... for 532 . Oh well, lowest first-inns score of the series for SA, WI bowlers can claim to have made some progress.

 

[Tom Halsey]

SA 532 all out. But the big plus for the Windies is Mohammad. He looks a real find and will be one for the future.

Well he outbowled Warne.

Edwards was very good too IMO.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Yep, he was. Costly no-ball, though. Well, I guess he will learn from mistakes like that.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Most amusing censorship :P

Gayle started to smack runs already - 12* off 10 balls with 1 four and 1 six over point. Apparently a bit hurt though...

 

[PY]

35/0

Gayle 30*
Ganga 2*

Anyone get the feeling Gayle is battering the ball around as much as possible before he has to go off because of his injury?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Yup.

 

[PY]

BANG BANG 3 more fours.

52/0 (8.2 overs)

Gayle 38* (29 balls)
Ganga 9* (24)

Rather rare occasion that Pollock has been hit for more runs than Ntini in the same length spells.

 

[Tom Halsey]

:O :O

I am not wtching it, watching Watford V Chelsea instead.

 

[Mister Wright]

BANG BANG 3 more fours.

52/0 (8.2 overs)

Gayle 38* (29 balls)
Ganga 9* (24)

Rather rare occasion that Pollock has been hit for more runs than Ntini in the same length spells.

And another three...

Gayle 52* (37)
Ganga 15 (41)

All three fours off Nel - can't help but have Sympathy for poor Nel....NOT!

 

[PY]

2 more 4's from Ntini to Gayle

85/0

63* (44) Gayle
15* (43) Ganga

Schoolboy stuff from South Africa.

Has anyone noticed on CricInfo the guy doing 'LIVE' coverage can't stop saying 'me thinks'.

 

[PY]

Here comes another, just like the others......5 fours in 12 balls.

113/0 (17 overs)

Gayle 90* (60) 18 fours, 1 six :O
Ganga 16* (45) 2 fours.

This is amazing......
