Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

Smith fell to Collymore in the 7th over, but Kallis and de Villiers are marching on again.


15 runs from the last over. :(

56-1 after 12
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

Kallis launched 18 runs off of Bravo's first over!

Now Kallis limping a little, so the umpires take a drinks break while he's being attended to.

83-1 after 14.3
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

Bravo leaks 18 from his first over as South Africa start to pick up the pace.

1/83 in the 15th over now.

Kallis up to 39 off just 23 balls!! :eek:

Kallis limping now and they have taken an early drinks break. Still in the 15th over.
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

By the way, really weird team today from the West Indies:

South Africa 1 AB de Villiers, 2 Graeme Smith (capt), 3 Jacques Kallis, 4 Herschelle Gibbs, 5 Ashwell Prince, 6 Loots Bosman, 7 Mark Boucher (wk), 8 Andrew Hall, 9 Shaun Pollock, 10 Andre Nel, 11 Makhaya Ntini.

West Indies 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4, Brian Lara (capt), 5 Devon Smith, 6 Dwayne Bravo, 7 Kieron Pollard, 8 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 9 Ian Bradshaw, 10 Daren Powell, 11 Corey Collymore.


Langeveldt and Kemp are out for South Africa, with Bosman and Hall coming in. Nel and Gibbs are playing today though. If Nel and Hall can team up together, the West Indies batsmen are going to have a tough time batting against them.

Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Smith, and Jerome Taylor are all taking the match off for West Indies, with Collymore, Devon Smith, and Kieron Pollard playing for them today. It's Pollard's ODI debut!

WHOA I stepped away for a meeting and I had some mega support today! Thanks guys! Any word on powerplays left?

West Indies decided against taking the third powerplay.

Just by looking at their side today, I'd say the Windies have almost conceded they won't play in the semi-finals.

West Indies have had a few chances to pick up that second wicket, but they haven't capitalized on any of them. They're going to regret it, because de Villiers and Kallis look like they're in the mood to score runs today.

166-1 after 31 overs

Kallis and de Villiers look unstoppable. Pollard doesn't.
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

32: 170/1
Sky brings up an interesting bit of trivia, Gayle's 133 not out after RSA scored 258 in the ICC Trophy semi-final (the last time they met), but no, i do not think history will be repeating itself the way the Windies have played thus far
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

Bowled him!

Gayle gets Kallis finally. He scored 81 today.

South Africa 191-2 after 35.2
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

de Villiers gets his first ever ODI century!
From only 114 balls too.

South Africa 199-2

204-2 after 39

de Villiers is limping and can't run anymore. Brian Lara really needs to take that final powerplay now. Unless he's planning on witing for the last 5 overs.
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

de Villiers has Smith come in to run for him, and then he decides to hit 2 Sixes in the over. 18 runs from that over.
Who needs a runner when you're hitting sixes?

222-2 after 40
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

de Villiers hits 2 sixes and a four in the next over!!!
The man is just on fire today!!


241-2 after 41
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

de Villiers is doing his best to get out. He wants to go back to the dressing room and sit down, so he's taking a big swing on every delivery, but he keeps hitting boundaries instead!!!


254-2 after 42
 
Re: Super Eights - West Indies vs South Africa

Collymore finally gets de Villiers!
He scored 146 today.

261-3 after 43.1 overs.


Perhaps now Lara will take the powerplay. :p
