This is turning out to be a cracking game. Whatever the conditions, whatever the pitch, shorter boundaries etc let's give it to both teams for the immense professionalism and discipline they have shown today. That's how cricket should be played. I doubt even at their best if India or Pakistan could bat like that against either Australia or SA on the same pitch. Maintaining a RR of 7.5 almost thru their whole innings is just great to see

Smith cramping up. Will have to go off and let Gibbs come on.

Kallis is slow.

145

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

He is still better than Kallis in this situation. Kallis is a great player but he needs to hand over to someone who can play faster than him.

Kallis is making the advantage drift towards AUS..Aussies should try to bowl as many balls at him as they can....
I think Smith needs to leave (retire) a let someone have a go for 4 overs.

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

and as I posted it. He wasted 6 balls. Maiden over. shabash Kallis. Good going :k:

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

Especially when he starts. Once when he is going, he can score freely. Unfortunately the run-rate might be going up placing them under pressure.

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

Smith is going off returned hurt

Thats great luck for Aus.

GO GIBBS!

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

Awsome.......I think its not bad thing for SA....i will take smith over anyone else in SA when 70 is needed from 45 balls at the end

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

south african run rate going down

they need to step up the pace here

154

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

SA will win, even if gibbs gets out trying to hit brad ouutta ground SA will still win.

They have players that are capable of scoring 25 runs of 15 balls and that is good enough for this chase since right now all they need is 180 off 22 overs

Wish I had your confidence!

Protea's lost some ground last 7 overs.

156

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

Gibbs and Prince out. Boucher in to force the run-rate

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

Saffies dun seem to be making it... Good Luck to them

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

yup this looks like that australia is going to win this

159

Re: Game 22, Group A - Australia vs South Africa - Saturday March 24th

Yup the game is drifting away from SA, that's the problem with having to chase 7.5 RPO (or 6+ RPO for that matter) throughout the course of an innings

Kallis is aussie player today. Very orthodox and weird innings.
