Target is very low for RSA. Kallis and Gibby are on crease...SL needs these two wickets back to back...otherwise match may slip away very easily.

105/2

20 Overs

Malinga on

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

SL might not be able to pull this one back in. They gave away too many runs already. There needs to be a spectacular display of spin from SL or stupidity from SA for it to go down as a win for SL now.

Runs less than 100.

South Africa batting Malinga out of the attack.

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

$hit...Malinga is back again...Jayawardene is gone Crazy today!! don't know why he took Jayasuriya off when just bowled 2 decent overs...

This Malinga has been hit by Smith earlier... Sri Lanka will loose now.

Here is what Cricinfo wants to advise Sri Lanka Captain --

Srini:"What's with these field placements for Muralitharan? Mahela should set an attacking field - a slip, a forward short leg, pull back a chap from the boundary, force the batsmen to hit over the top. Heck, even throw in a silly point. It's not like SL is going to restrict SA in the 50 overs. SL's total was always 35-45 runs too little."

Match fixing...or SL want to beat SA in the Semis like last time...

South Africa in compelete control and on their way to win this match.

71

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

SL did not plan this reply right...
looks Jayawaredne is not clever enough..

72

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

Doesn't seem logical... This is a World-Cup super-8 match...beside Sri Lankans are NEVER known for match-fixing like their other two senior "South Asian" folks.

73

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

pure stupidity from Sri Lankan captain....Tom Moody must be cursing him today!

74

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

50 for Kallis

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

I think when Murli & Jayasuriya playout their qouta...some part-time spinner + Vaas should try to complete the 50 overs if possible...

76

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

soooooo
SL has been quite admirably outplayed by SA. SL was restricted well to a low total. At one moment they were 188/5 with 5 overs remaining and it seemed they might reach 250.
But SA put the brakes on in the last overs and now will achieve a good comprehensive victory. Lesson to be learned by SL. And I think they will improve from their mistakes today.
The match is not over though till the last ball is bowled.

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

...and at a fair strike rate of 90 as well.

When can we see Malinga and the last power play? South Africa has two batsmen who are batting fairly well and would welcome Malinga.

78

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

Seems like all other teams have decided to dispense with the black armbands.

South Africa decided to go with wide black sweat bands. Suppose they might decide to continue as long as they remain in the tournament in memory of what Bob Woolmer did for them.
