World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

We'll let Kallis start as opening batsman to let the innings last langer than 25 overs. The sponsors do have to get their paid time. (Just watch me disappearing if SL pull this one off :) )

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

AUSSIES have won their match already

SL CAN make a match out of it - if they can get close to 225 or so

Murli the man :jhanda:

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

^ yep. SL could still put the choke back on SA if SA become too defensive against Murli.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

Lucky for South Africa he only can bowl 10 overs! All will depend what start South Africa get in their first 15 overs.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

Interesting stats on Pollock. Seems like on these slow-low wickets as if he is targeted in the last two games. First AUS climbed into him and then SL. During the Sl game Smith pulled him off after 4 overs. He came back for 4 overs in middle term.

32 runs from first 4 overs (8.0 runs per over)
14 runs from second 4 overs (3.5 runs per over)

Maybe Smith should use Pollock during the middle stages when the field can be set more to his bowling. I would like to see Kallis with the new ball...

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

SL has become a very dependable team man...even if they lose initial wickets they still recover...thts the way quality teams play....unlike Ind-Pak :D

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

Good fight back from SL definitely.
And they should be able to get 250 from here. That will be a good defendable total with Murli in the attack for SL.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

202/6 off 47 overs.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

SL throwing the game away

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

209/9

Langa whatever his name is has taken 3 wickets in one over.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

South Africa only needs 210 runs. They can tremendously improve their net run rate as well.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

49 th over a maiden

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

SL lost 4 wickets for one run to be 209 all out. :nook:

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

This seems to be RSA's game.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

Well..With So many bunnies in the group I dont think it will come down to run rate for SA.
I mean how hard could it be to be top 4 in a a Super 6 league.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

What beauty by Vas

SAF Already one down

*5/1 *

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka

Yeah I don't think RSA and AUS needs to worry about run rate.

Re: World Cup 2007 Super 8, Guyana: South Africa v Sri Lanka
