Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

correction: in just 17 overs, they still have 3 overs remaining.

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

so far 15 wides and 1 no ball means more than 2 extra overs. chch.

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

yeah yeah South Africa played well but three dropped catches with 22 wides. absolutely unforgivable.

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

Brilliant innings by Gibbs though. And kudos to Smith. He played his innings even though he suffered a suspected broken bone in his batting hand.

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

If Pakistan played like this, when they came home all of them would be forced to bend over and be spat on...

Or they could just hide away like thye do after every bad tournament

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

I was so tired when I reached home today--having attended five meetings in a row and nothing could have held me back from crashing--till I casually clicked on GEO SPORTS and got glued to the tube when I saw WINDIES making hey against the Zulus.

With ZULUS making a complete cuckoo out of the KANGROOS way back by chasing 440 runs in that memorable ODI...I just thought it could a sort of De'javu today...on this Twenty20 to chase 205 in 20 overs...and what a classic match it was.....totally mesmerizing...ending with 2 overs and two deliveries to spare with SA on 208 fot 2.

I just wondered that had this target been posted by the opponents (be it BD or SCOTLAND even).....what we were bound to see in first five overs was the fall of at least three wickets for 25 to 35 runs...or less and then strategies by the incoming ones...with complete tension.

I saw that SA was as calm as evr having lost two early wickets when the run rate was well over 10.....but SA knew what to do and how to proceed with THEIR game..............

Perhaps someone should tell this to our boys as I fear that SCOTTISH are geared to play their bagpipers rather loudly on our boyz and the most feared guy for us is none the other but LADDOO himself.....whom i called just now and gave him my ten cents worth--as the tie of 1st Ramazan (in pakistan) with INDIA (14 Sept) will yet be a nail biter.........

May the best team win.......

-Raju

LADDOO: is nick name of SHAHID AFRIDI I gave him...corresponding to the name of Rhitik Roshan playing younger brother to SK in the movie KABHI KHUSHI KABHI GHUMM... and when Shahid askedd me why?....I told him your performance for the Nation and Cricket lovers--matches with the name of that blockbuster movie--hence your name after one of the character...:)

^ :rotfl:

I think we shud alter the title a little bit to suit Afridi better.

Kabhi Khushi, Mostly Ghum.

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

Yaar Abb Aisa Bhi Nahin Hai…hamara Shahid???
Mera khayal hai k koi world rercord ban nay wala hai Bagpipers wala match mein…sirf khayal hai…!!! aur LADDOO hee ki taraff se ziyada fikr hai…lekin tum iss ka ZIKR mat karna…

Anyone saying AFRIDI gets hundred in SCOTTISH one say “AYE”..:slight_smile:

JP the only difference is that in 20/20 you have to score Goals as compared to Runs in the normal cricket matches :)

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11

what a boring game, what a boring, monotonous format.

Re: ICC World Twenty20 1st Match: South Africa vs West Indies (Group A) - Tue. 09/11
