Re: WI V South Africa.
I wanted to see this day Hinds seemed to be at his finest
Re: WI V South Africa.
Double century for Chanderpaul, and declared by Windies. SA ki pitai honey wali hai.
Re: WI V South Africa.
2 double tons, one from W Hinds and one from S Chanderpaul! That is some thrashing!
I wonder what is gonna happen when Pak visits them.... hopefully Shabbir will be back then.
Re: WI V South Africa.
Amazing stuff from WI team. Damn, I was thinking Pakistan will have a nice tour when WI comes to Pakistan in May. Another tough tour for Pakistan ahead. :)
**WI: 543/5 dec.
Hinds: 213 and Chanderpaul: 203
SA: 2/0 at the end of Day 2.**

South Africa vs West Indies - 1st Test
Its a sad state of affairs for South Africa the way the WI’s are butt raping them. I miss the South Africa that was under Hanse Cronje (RIP) and Bob Woolmer. They were no doubt my favourite team in the 90s. Alan Donald’s pace, Lance ‘Zulu’ Klusener’s fiery batting, Jonty Rhodes’ fielding and ofcourse Hanse Cronje’s captaincy. They have been the most unlucky team ever missing out on more than two chances at the WC trophy because of sheer bad luck. And now that their peak has passed they are back to mediocre level cricket.
On the other hand prospects are looking good for the WI’s and Chanderpaul has started off his captaincy with a loud bang of a century. Looking forward to an exciting series between pak and WI.
Re: WI V South Africa.
Well, its the final session on the final day and South Africa are pulling a Kamran Akmal-Abdul Razzak on Windies. They are 217-3 and 26 over to remain. As usual Kallis to the resecue (71* right now). And also as usual, West Indies bowlers let them down again. Man, these Windies scare me... the team is in "rebuilding" for the last 10 years!
Re: WI V South Africa.
At drinks time, South Africa trail by 98 runs with 7 wickets remaining
Minimum overs remaining today: 8.0
I think they have saved the game. Some consolation for SA.
