I thought you okes might like a Cricket thread…
Ons wil ‘n krieket thread hê, maar weet nie of ons dit gaan ‘like’ nie.
Quinton de Kock out, nicked, caught behind.
SA 16 / 1 after 3 overs
Here we go, De Kock uit 16/1 na 3 beurte.
Ha……………………………….we got one.
Oke Dokies 16 for 1.
SA should be firm favourites here, but they have a very poor record against NZ in Tournaments. (Very poor is being polite).
Black Craps to take this one.
India laat hul vinnigste kolwer op nr.3 kolf, Kohli
WI laat Gayle op nr.1 kolf
Aus kolf vir Warner op 1
En wat doen SA, hulle laat Miller en Morkel kolf op 6 of 7, wanneer dit te laat is ?
Amla en Faf is goeie toetspelers, sal beter wees om hulle op 5 of 6 te laat inkom.
Ons kolf tans teen 5 ‘n beurt, te stadig.
Faf du Plessis out too.
SA 32 / 2 after 4.5 overs
5 & 6 @ cane:
Hello Cane.
The Proteas have been rather poor of late.
Soek ‘n groot beurt van Amla of AB hier.
@ grootblousmile:
Still a great Team Groot.
Plenty of talent and experience. Also have been playing other Teams of the best quality.
Fark, AB de Villiers also out…
Eishhhh……..
SA 42 / 3
Oh no, two of the guys you would have banked on to get plenty runs gone now
11: like the Sharks of Saturday, great team on paper, not so great on the green grass.
12 @ grootblousmile:
Shaun Pollock, Ex-South Africa captain on BBC Test Match Special –
“That’s a huge blow for South Africa – AB de Villiers gave himself a lot of room, so much that he ended up on his behind after playing the shot. That’s Nathan McCullum’s 50th wicket in T20 international cricket – JP Duminy will now have to resurrect the cause.”
In case anyone was wondering what Polly is doing these days.
Hulle het nou die dag AB se gemiddeld in T20 WC wedstryde gewys, iets soos 17 lopies, nie goed nie.
An ‘interesting’ take from a former England cricketer on a tactic that could have saved England from being beaten in their rain affected match against New Zealand, thankfully England didn’t do what he is suggesting – that just is not cricket.
Vic Marks, Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
“Where Stuart Broad got it wrong against New Zealand was that he could have kept bowling no-balls, so that the fifth over was never completed and so the match wasn’t finished!”
16 @ Ben:
Didn’t realize it was that low Ben, thought AB would be averaging far more than that with a great strike rate too.
Alma doing the job for SA.
I’d like to see him take a walk ………bat under his arm very soon.
SA 67 / 3 after 11 overs
NZ boul goed, niks los balle nie.
Minimum van 140 nodig, anders is dit tickets.
Laat ek my eie speletjie speel hier, ons kort 60 van 45 balle om in hierdie game te wees, vir minimum van 140.
Afternoon Sports fans!
Early exit for the Proteas??
Hope not.
Hoor wat die kommentator daar sê, ons kolforde is totaal verkeerd vir T20. Ons begin met stadige kolwers en wil dan hê die slaners moet ons red op die einde wanneer daar te groot druk is. Moet eers die Millers, Morkels en Duminys instuur, en dan vir Amla Du Plessis en die ander stadiger kolwers.
Mooi Dominee ! hehe
Amla out, caught and bowled.
SA 97 / 4
And another one’s gone
another one’s gone,
Another one bites the dust.
Nee kyk, as dit sleg gaan dan gaan dit hondsleg met die Proteas. Ongelukkig met daardie paaltjie van Amla.
SA look like they will end on about 135.
