West Indies messed it up on the last ball by bowling wide.
Congartulations to SA.
Tremendous match!:k:
what a match.
It was all in Windies hand and look whats Dillon did.
3 run needed in 1 ball...
48.6 Dillon to Boje, wide: one run, leg side wide and they take a run,
scores tied, Dillon you idiot !!
48.6 Dillon to Dawson, FOUR, outside off, drives, edges, thick edge,
goes to 3rd man for a SOuth African win
...and SA wins...and that tooo on the last ball...a humdinger of a match...
Dillon actually gave away the match by bowling a wide on the last ball
and ppl think PAK is the worst maybe ppl need to think think and think again.
mervan dillon is a dead man when he goes back to west indies. 13 runs in the final over, come on man!!!! he should have been able to defend those runs easily. all he had to do was bowl in the block hole. west indies should have won this game.
