Shebeen Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 ...which takes me back to this game back in 1993. as a 14yo laaitie our first team got to skip school to go see this match... boy there were some names in those 2 sides! I remember walking onto the field at the interval and pacing Patrick Patterson's bowling strides... haha... crazy! https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/total-international-series-1992-93-60936/pakistan-vs-west-indies-9th-match-65959/full-scorecardI remember this one. 9/26, great last wicket partnership! there was lots of kids bunking school and our headmaster (who was also 1st team coach) had a helluva time from his staff as he turned a blind eye. at lunch time assembly i think he was able to announce that it wasn't an issue anymore - game over already gemmerbal 1

gemmerbal Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 He’s aged quite a bit and not as nimble as he used to be, but he’s still funny as hell! ???? but the snakepit was out of bounds - language there not suitable for young ears!! the only thing that hasn't changed at Newlands since that timehttps://ewn.co.za/2020/01/25/more-than-an-ice-cream-man-meet-the-legendry-moegamat-boeta-cassiem
gemmerbal Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Super Rant on: What a load of k@k... so England didn't invest millions in their one day cricket to achieve success, it just happened out of the blue because their captain willed it to happen? wat 'n pot k@k... I don't understand how people think: CSA is in shambles and their finances are non existent, we keep losing our best players to IPL/overseas contracts, we cant employ the best coaches because of their tan but our captain believes we can emulate the English "resurrection"? oh FFS Bill... just f&cking kill me now... https://www.news24.com/sport/cricket/proteas/can-proteas-emulate-englands-post-2015-odi-revolution-20210330 Edited March 30, 2021 by gemmerbal
l4y3rcake Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Incredible mock by De Kock to get Zaman. That game shouldn’t have been so close.

Readsalot Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 If I'm reading that article correctly Q deliberately distracted him, therefore he broke the rule. Am I missing something? Kranswurm 1
babse Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Aussies talking about spirit of cricket Saw it live. Quinny shouts as if bowl is going to the other end. He doesn't tell the batsman to stop running and turn around. Zaman should get into his crease! But yes that game should never have been this close.
l4y3rcake Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 If I'm reading that article correctly Q deliberately distracted him, therefore he broke the rule. Am I missing something?The batsman himself says it wasn’t Quinny’s fault. The Pakistani team didn’t think there was anything wrong. Vetplant 1
Vetplant Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Spirit of cricket ay? So it is in the spirit of the game to taunt/distract guys by telling them all sorts of inappropriate things about sleeping with their wives/mothers. The only taunt that was considered "off-topic" was when McGrath was taunted about his wife who had cancer at the time.... really low bar being set there for sportsmanship... The Aussies can really go jump in a lake on this. Surely deception is an integral part of the game. Being nasty and personal to someone shouldn't be. PS. I am fully aware that had this been Rassie VD Dussen missing out on a double century due to questionable behavior I might have been more on the fence on this. But even in such an instance, the fact remains: the batsman is responsible for his wicket and should have either been aware of where the throw-in was going or have run through the line like a Jonty Rhodes in his prime.

shova1 Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 One wonders where the line will drawn on 'deception' & gamesmanship. Will spin bowlers not be allowed variations and quicks prevented from bowling slow deliveries where they're deemed to deceive! It's good that there has been a clamp down on unnecessary & nasty sledging and blatant cheating, but the nature of the game and as an entertainment spectacle is not just about bowling the ball, hitting the ball & catching the ball.
gemmerbal Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 a keeper shouting "bowler's end" is VERY FAR from deception. a keeper faking the gathering of a throw-in and breaking the stumps, that is deception. ask MS Dhoni... this entire thing is a storm in a teacup, and the aussies should shut up completely when it comes to the topic of "spirit of the game". they have lost all moral high ground in this regard. END OF. Vetplant, l4y3rcake and babse 3

FootballingCyclist Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 So will be interesting to see how deep the squad is and if they can pull off an "upset" in todays 3rd ODI. No De Kock, Radaba, Ngidi, Nortje or Miller. That is 5 players who are experienced and playing well at the moment out of the deciding match. One must feel for Bavuma in his 1st ODI series as Captain to lose 5 crucial players ahead of the deciding match of the series. On another note it's a good chance for the likes of Janneman Malan (who should come in for Quinny) and Kyle Verreynne (For Miller) to show off their International ability again. On the bowling front, we are most likely to see Sipamla in action again and well the other spots are up to the coaching staff I guess with Hendricks, Magala and Dala all possibilities. Vetplant 1

Rassie also out due to an injury.
