DJ84 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 And Maxwell gone.I think its safe to say its ours.
DJ84 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 speaking of bowlers, what has actually happened to lopsy?He hasn't played an ODI for almost a year now - yet he's still #14 in the rankings, was #1 in 2012....I don't see a way back in for him for this world cup at this late stage.Playing for the lions,think he has been struggling with injuries but not certain. Think he is finding it difficult to make the lions team at the moment in any case.
Shebeen Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 100/5, steyntjie gets in on the act with 2 big wickets...ok if they can win from here they deserve the series.
Shebeen Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 now onto 174/5. 98 required from the last 12 overs. last time out they got 104 off the last 12. Smith at the crease again, can our frontline bowlers stop him this time?
Shebeen Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Australia require another 58 runs with 5 wickets and 41 balls remaining
Shebeen Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Australia require another 40 runs with 4 wickets and 30 balls remaining 2 overs from steyntjie and abbot each, 1 from parnell. smith on 95* to go with his 75* from the other day, and he's supposed to be a test player only? damn well paced innings today.
Shebeen Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 so proteas have won the last 15 games that they've batted first. think they will regret the 30 or odd runs left out the last 10 overs now. And Maxwell gone.I think its safe to say its ours.spoke to soon.... Australia require another 21 runs with 4 wickets and 18 balls remaining
mon-goose Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 eish, how can we loose this.... we were in such a strong position.....poor bowling
Shebeen Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 think the problem was getting that wicket of Wade. Faulkner has come in and obliterated us on 29 off 16. not for the first time: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/270484.html?batting_fielding_first=2;class=2;filter=advanced;orderby=default;template=results;type=allround average when chasing 125
Shebeen Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 so I hope we can take some BIG lessons off this one. final 10 overs - SA 51/4final 9 overs Aus 86/2
hboli4 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 We are really struggling to close out an innings, whether batting or bowling.
