1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

The ODI series starts now. West Indies had a good start to the test series, but a terrible finish. Will they put up a fight today, or will it be another blowout?


edit: okay, maybe it won't start just yet, it's raining, but not heavily

Finally underway!

West Indies Devon Smith, Brenton Parchment, Marlon Samuels, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Runako Morton, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Dwayne Bravo (capt), Darren Sammy, Ravi Rampaul, Daren Powell, Fidel Edwards.

Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

West Indies 46-2 after 11 overs, both openers gone.

Not exactly a stellar scoring rate considering it's only 36 overs today, but maybe Samuels and Chanderpaul can get something going.
 
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

West Indies 71-4 after 18 overs, which is the half-way point in this match.

Bravo and Morton are in there now. Somebody needs to start scoring some runs if they're going to put up a competitive score.
 
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

Morton and Sammy are trying to put together a late partnership here.
They're 116-6 after 28.4 overs. Morton is the top scorer so far with 30.
 
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

135-6 after 32 overs.

West Indies best partnership of the day, good for 54 so far.
Morton up to 39, Sammy at 19.

Sadly, it looks like they're not heading for a competitive score.
 
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

Morton run out for 41.

West Indies 150-7 with 15 deliveries to go.
 
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

Sammy!!!

He hit a 6, and then on the next ball he hit another 6, but it was also a no ball, so it's listed as a 7 on cricinfo!

22 runs from that over

West Indies 173-7 after 35, and Sammy has his half century!
 
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

Three straight wickets in the last over! But 2 of them were run-outs, so no hat trick.

West Indies all out for 174.



Nice partnership from Sammy and Morton, but it's going to be pretty tough to stop South Africa from reaching 175.
 
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v West Indies at Centurion

It was a far closer match than I thought it would be.
South Africa won with 12 balls to spare, 176-4 after 34 overs.
Thanks mostly to the star of the match, Jean-Paul Duminy, who finished on 79 not out.
