[MickeyD]

Pretty upsetting that (a) there are no sponsors and (b) the opening match, a local Gauteng Derby, is not being televised.

Poor form, CSA. :mad:

EDIT: time for me to eat humble pie... the opening game in TOMORROW!!! And it is being televised live from 14h45 on SS2 ... :o:o:o

[Devill]

I also can not for the life of me see how Supersport with 7 channels can not find an open one for the local cricket :(

[Garson007]

Time for Majola to go.

[mercurial]

What is this cup about? Is it a 20/40 overs competition?

[MickeyD]

What is this cup about? Is it a 20/40 overs competition?
The 40 over competition has been changed to reflect the international norm of 50 overs. The same rule changes will apply, e.g. using 2 new balls, no runner, etc.

[mercurial]

[schumi]

Hmm SuperBru only 10,529, my best chance of winning Superbru ever :D

Wish Kingsmead could have hosted at least one 10am game

[MickeyD]

Titans won the toss and asked the Lions to bat first.

Lions 257-7 off 50 overs
Cook 44
De Kock 83
Symes 70*

Titans to bat

[McT]

Pretty upsetting that (a) there are no sponsors and (b) the opening match, a local Gauteng Derby, is not being televised.

Poor form, CSA. :mad:

As I understand it, a cut of the revenues (not sure how it all works) from sponsor goes to developing local cricket.

So development is the net loser :(

[bwana]

No sponsors means I'm likely to have a very quiet season. :o

[MickeyD]

No sponsors means I'm likely to have a very quiet season. :o
I'm sure a sponsor will step up once CSA have sorted themselves out.

Happy Birthday, mate!!!

[Devill]

Titans won the toss and asked the Lions to bat first.

Lions 178-5 off 39 overs

[mercurial]

That is a hiding and a half :eek:

[MickeyD]

That is a hiding and a half :eek:
Thanks to some really good batting by the formidable Titans' top order.

[McT]

Yikes! Severe snot-klap dished out there. So at least we have a yardstick for the competition... 300 will not be enough :D

[lilggg]

Superbru needs to exclude results that ur team is involved in, i just can't bet against them even though i'm pretty sure they gonna lose, if i do bet against them i end up supporting the other team because i want my superbru points. Very sad i know.

[Devill]

Haha! Yeah I do the same...

[SinghDude]

Makes me wonder if our domestic players are really stepping up...

Nobody of note has recently stepped up to international level and performed consistently :x

[Devill]

problem is the test/odi team is 95% set. I think in about 2-3 years we wil se major changes.

[SinghDude]

Aussies have changed their policy on selecting 'em young unz.

If you good enough then age don't matter...look at the Indians and Paki's...

I went with the Dolphins too despite knowing deep down inside they're probably going to be nailed like the Lions were last night :(

[McT]

If you good enough then age don't matter...look at the Indians and Paki's...

Indians have pretty much nailed the next WC with their youngsters coming through so nicely for them.
It's a question of looking after them, developing them and trying to manage the number of games they play.
Are any locals taking this line with newbies? They should be scouting the club and varsities for new talent.

[SinghDude]

Dolphins have disappointed.Some youngsters are being sacrificed for big name signings... Isn't Gayle also gonna be playing ?

And Mitchell Johnson?

[schumi]

Shaun Tait and Chris Gayle are only for the Dolphins Pro20.

[SinghDude]

And Mitchell Johnson?

I dont like Mitch. He loves the Saffers and he will torment us with both and ball again:sick:

[McT]

I dont like Mitch. He loves the Saffers and he will torment us with both and ball again:sick:

All psychological. They let him in. We seem to be the only country he has his way with :sick:

[MickeyD]

Dolphins won the toss and elected to bat first against the Cape Cobras in Durban.

Should be a great game with all the internationals playing...

[MickeyD]

Dolphins 19-0 off 5 overs

Looks like the Dolphins might just get a point from this game :p

[schumi]

Dolphins match officially abandoned now.

I assume they share the points? So not the worst result :p

[MickeyD]

They get 2 points each.

4 for a win.
Plus a bonus point for winning by certain margins.

[McT]

Sorry there was a lot of tongue in cheek in my last comment. The Dolphins are my team and I will support them through thick and thin (Lions second, because they're the local team where I now live). However, this team looks lean on potential to finish higher than 5 in the tournament. I hope they do better, but I do not get the feeling they will :(

I definitely picked up your jibe!! But I was also curious as to the points system for this competition...

[schumi]

So with a big test match this week I assume Proteas players will not play

[SinghDude]

I like de kock from the lions.drop boucher there is a new kid on the block

[MickeyD]

So with a big test match this week I assume Proteas players will not play
I think they are playing. I'm sure I heard that AB will be playing for the Titans tomorrow...

Graeme Smith, Dale Steyn, Mark Boucher and Robin Peterson can play for the Cobras against the Lions but Kallis and JP not.

Prince and Tsotsobe will play on Friday in East London before joining the Proteas for their Test Series so will not be available for the match against the Dolphins. Wayne Parnell will join the team in Pietermaritzburg for the fixture against the Dolphins.

Good to know points structure. I like the idea of a bonus point. Gives teams incentive to go excel.

I am a little surprised that the Proteas test players haven't had a chance to play a four day game. That's the timing of the new one day cup, I guess.

[schumi]

MickeyD thanks helps me make my predictions tonight in case I don't wake up in time

[MickeyD]

Three games today...

Looks like the decision to allow the Test players to play today has been reversed.

Only AB is playing for the Titans.

[MickeyD]

Richard Levi 100* off 53 balls - 7 fours and 9 sixes.

Fastest 50 over century in local SA cricket - ever!

[MickeyD]

I see that AB de Villiers has been given out for "obstructing the field" - under the new rules.

I'd like to see a clip of that!

[McT]

Rowan Richards also given out for obstructing the field... two in the same innings and an innings which needed all the help it could get. Will be interesting to see that.

[schumi]

Hope Dolphins get to play Lions without a rain interrupted game, they now really need to start getting some points

[McT]

4 points from 2 games ain't all that bad :p :D

[lilggg]

They doing ok thanks to the rain, 4 points after 2 games,that's like 1 win 1 loss. Doubt they would've chased 290 today.

A sore point with us Warriors' supporters! :(

[McT]

Dolphins definitely saved by rain. Warriors would probably have taken it.

Does mean that Amla did not get practice :(

Maybe I was a tad optimistic

So Dolphins playing in Durban today, maybe I should have not watered my plants early this morning.

You have just jinxed them to another 2 points :mad: :p

[schumi]

You have just jinxed them to another 2 points :mad: :p

I was lamenting the fact that I woke up 2 minutes early, used my water, when The Dolphins will bring rain naturally:twisted:

I missed my SuperBru prediction.

[lilggg]

Everytime there's a durban game just predict a tie, and water your plants just to make sure.

[MickeyD]

Lions won the toss and elected to bat first against the Dolphins at Kingsmead.

Lions 166-4 off 31 overs
(Vandiar 58, Abbott 2/26)

Match abandoned.

[schumi]

Heavy rain here, its going to Kingsmead:mad:

[lilggg]

We've only batted 10 overs in 2 games,might be 10 overs in 3 games.

[MickeyD]

Match delayed - Rain.

[lilggg]

Anybody near the stadium? How's the weather there.

[McT]

Match delayed - Rain.

Worst... 3rd consecutive no result on the cards :(

[schumi]

Anybody near the stadium? How's the weather there.

Thunder storm stopped at 19:20 at my house, every thing is pretty wet, assume it would have stopped at 19:30 at the stadium, depends how good the drainage at Kingsmead is. Still thunder around

[lilggg]

So there could still be a 20 over slog?

[schumi]

So there could still be a 20 over slog?
Heard its officially abandoned due to wet out field

[lilggg]

yip 3/3, we sitting peachy tied for 1st lol. But everyone has a game in hand.

[McT]

Heard its officially abandoned due to wet out field

Huge pity. We would have walked this one! :p

[MickeyD]

3 games today...

1. Warriors v Cape Cobras at Axxess DSL St George`s, Port Elizabeth
Warriors won the toss and are batting.

Warriors 201-9 off 48.3 overs
(JJ Smuts 48, C Langeveldt 4-46)

Cape Cobras 15-1 off 4.2 overs

Target = 205 (D/L method)

2. Knights v Lions at De Beers Diamond Oval, Kimberley
Knights won the toss and elected to bat.

Knights 318-5 off 50 overs
(M Van Wyk 136)

Lions 41-1 off 6.3 overs

3. Titans v Dolphins at SuperSport Park, Centurion
Dolphins won the toss and are fielding first.

Titans 315-6 off 50 overs
(H Davids 55, Faf 120, D Wiese 46*)

Dolphins 72-0 off 9.3 overs
(Bosman 50*)

[schumi]

Finally Dolphins will get to play two full innings, Faf has really accelirated the Titans innings, Dolphins batsmen will be will not be used to batting more than 10 overs. Warriors need to get a decent parnership together for the last 10 overs.

[lilggg]

Dolphins going to be chasing a big one :(
So far my predictions on the other 2 games are looking good,Knights and Cobras win.

[McT]

It would perversely ironic that the first game in 4 that the Dolphins finish would the first the get no points from. I guess there is still hope.

Morne van Wyk proves over and over again how good he'd be opening the batting for the ODI's. And he always scores quickly. I rate him highly.

[lilggg]

300 up and still 2 overs to go *facepalm* Really need some better bowlers.

[McT]

300 up and still 2 overs to go *facepalm* Really need some better bowlers.

like lambs to the slaughter :(

[lilggg]

Every Bloody game on TV gets rained out.

[schumi]

Really poor from Warriors, batsmen all go strats but could not push on mainly due to poor shot selection. No rain to save Dolphins this time.

Correction MickeyD its Warriors 201-9 off 48.3 overs, next time copy/paste from cricinfo instead of typing it :confused:

Good knock by Loots.

Take the miracles whenever they happen.
And I had given up on any prospects of a win.
Great news though.

[Khanya]

Anyone with Bosman innings?

[schumi]

Two shock defeats for Titans , Dolphins game would have been much closer had it not been for Cameron Delport 20 of 5 balls at the ending. Will be interesting to see what the Dolphins batsmen are capable of against the Knights.

[MickeyD]

2 Games today:

Cape Cobras v Knights at Boland Park, Paarl (15:00) (Live on SS2)


Warriors v Dolphins at Buffalo Park, East London (15:00)

[McT]

Ah! The Dolphins in line for another shock win :)

[lilggg]

Doubt it, can't see 2 miracles in a row.I see a 350+ score the will be chasing :(

[lilggg]

Warriors 155/1 (25.3 ov) vs Dolphins

Knights 101/2 (24.3 ov) vs Cobras

[lilggg]

Lol,even bosman is having a bowl. Desperate times.

[McT]

Lol,even bosman is having a bowl. Desperate times.

Oh dear! Unless the Dolphins get a few quick wickets, the Warriors look set to put up a huge chase.
I'd love to see the Dolphins win it, but to chase down two sizeable targets in succession? I just do not see it happening.

[MickeyD]

Warriors 356/5 (50 ov) vs Dolphins
(JT Smuts 132, Ingram 90)

Knights 274/4 (50 ov) vs Cobras
(Elgar 94, Hendricks 116*)

[McT]

Ingram kind of deserved his 100. An excellent all the same.

He's done the damage is done though.

[lilggg]

Match delayed - Rain whahahaa

[McT]

Saved by the rain? :D

[lilggg]

3 more hours of rain and we saved :) again. Warriors will be gutted.

[McT]

Drat! They're playing again! :mad: :p

[lilggg]

Well apparently the dolphins said they can chase down anything after their last game, so we shall see :P

[McT]

Anything? 357, me thinks, is going to be way too much. Bosman will have to go bossies tonight if there is any chance of success.

[Smurfatefrog]

357 against Parnell, Botha, Ntini, Theron.... I hope but can't see it happening, surely this must be the highest score at Buffalo Park?

[McT]

Looks like Imraan Khan is in a rush again tonight :p

[lilggg]

Bosman out, 11-1

[MickeyD]

Warriors vs Dolphins

Warriors 356/5 (50 ov)
(JT Smuts 132, Ingram 90)

Cobras 276-5 (48 ov)
(Levi 83, Ontong 86)

Cape Cobras win by 5 wickets with 1 over to spare.

[lilggg]

Lol, 19-2

[McT]

8.73 runs per over from here... Dolphins are never going to make it :(

[McT]

10.37 runs per over from here ... and they're falling apart.

Remains to be seen whether they'll even get 200 out of this.

I pity the spectators who'll not be entertained by any kind of meaningful chase.

[SinghDude]

Poor Poor show Dolphins....


Guess they getting some practice for the 4 day games :sick:

[McT]

I can't bear to watch any longer :cry:

[MickeyD]

Saved by the rain? :D

NO !! :D

Warriors FTW

[McT]

NO !! :D

Warriors FTW

It was hardly a contest, now was it? I cannot even say it was a lesson in cricket, 'cause the Dolphins ain't got the capacity to learn lessons yet :o

Congratulations to you & your team. ;)

[SinghDude]

Heads need to roll at Kingsmead IMO.....

Nothing is happening in terms of development and performance.

[McT]

Certainly doesn't look like it. They amble along and continue to frustrate their supporters season in and season out.

[Stevie G]

Cobras got a really strong team atm.

[McT]

So what are the chance of a victory for the Dolphins tonight?

And how's the game with Warriors and Parnell. The fella must be caning the ball around. Did he come in as a pinch hitter?

Boje has been opening the batting but is out for this game. So they pushed Parney up the order (another left-hander).
104* off 107 balls (9x4, 2x6)

Their innings is falling apart now. And with the awesome bowling line-up in the arsenal of the Dolphins... NO CHANCE! :(

It worked out well for the Warriors :)

[MickeyD]

Jon-Jon is out with a kidney infection.
Thanks, was wondering why Arno Jacobs opened the batting... did not have time to read newspaper or SS news today!

[Khanya]

He must come do this for the Proteas!

[lilggg]

Kom nou guppies..i mean dolphins. 40-2

[lilggg]

Huge wicket for dolphins.

[McT]

Eina! Huge klap for the Lions tonight courtesy of Parnell and the lads.

[lilggg]

****,dolphins screwing it up.

[lilggg]

DROPPED,omg

[schumi]

Wow seriously poor finishing by Dolphins, should have won this game five overs ago.

[lilggg]

Khan's decision are strange to say the least, bringing on the part timers when the spinners were doing well.

[lilggg]

Intense 11 off 6.If he bowled Zondo instead of delport i think the game would've been over ;/

[lilggg]

LMAO,swak.

[McT]

Yikes! An unlikely win for the Dolphins. I had given that to the Knights at one stage. But we'll take it anyway. :D

[lilggg]

2 Miracles in 3 games,yea i'll take it :D

[McT]

2 Miracles in 3 games,yea i'll take it :D

Right now, me cares not if they're all miracles. It's about the only way they're going to get their wins right now :D

[schumi]

Mixed feelings on the result, how crucial was it for have Dolphins to have missed the bonus point when it was on offer, but bowled pointlessly, on the other hand at the start of the season would have never expected them to beat Knights, at least Dolphins are still in with a chance.

[bwana]

IIRC I picked the Cobra, Dolphins and Warriors for today.

I am not having a good picking season thus far :(

[SinghDude]

Dolphins ?


r u serias ? hahaha

[lilggg]

Dolphins clawed back nicely.

Titans 223/5 (44.2 ov)

[schumi]

Meh rain staying away now, wonder if its a slow pitch at Kingsmead, certainly will be a slow outfield with the recent rains.

[McT]

So can the Dolphins do it again? It looks gettable. And where is Hashim?

[lilggg]

Titans 241/7 (48.0 ov)

[McT]

On the strength of previous games, they could chase this one down.

[MickeyD]

Updated scores for you: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/377798-The-Official-local-1-Day-Cup-2011-thread?p=7275405&viewfull=1#post7275405

[lilggg]

And theres the rain damn,for once when we should win.

[McT]

The other teams will eventually decline to play the Dolphins as there is a greater than even chance of wash out.

[schumi]

The rain wont last long, I vote we change Dolphins home to somewhere in Somalia, will ease the drought there :p

[lilggg]

It hasnt rained here at all yet. How bad is it raining there? Only need to play 1 more over for a result :(

[schumi]

It was dry, went to a funeral for about an hour, when i left it was wet, was not very heavy mostly drizzle. Where do you stay?

[lilggg]

Durban North

[McT]

Any chance of them getting 7 balls in?

[lilggg]

Surely they could've got 1 more over in while it was raining :(

[schumi]

Im sure Kingsmead's drainage will dry the ground up fast, the clouds seem to be moving away from the stadium

[lilggg]

WHat time do they call it off?

[schumi]

WHat time do they call it off?

Cant be too long since"In the new rules, no extra time will be allowed in the event of bad weather and overs will be discounted immediately for playing time lost." The Cobra's match is on 43 overs so they would have to start soon.

[lilggg]

No result ffs. Whats that 4 home games 4 no results. Once it starts raining here they never go on again, is the drainage that bad or did it not stop raining at all?

[schumi]

Since there is no extra time and teams start losing overs the minute they walk off, usually taking off the covers takes about 30 min, plus time for rain to end and drainage, guess time add up.

[lilggg]

Dolphins are cursed.

Match State: Delay - Pitch There appears to be problems with the landing area on the Southern end of the pitch The players have now left the field and the groundstaff is out on the pitch working on the landing area.

[lilggg]

Starting to hate khan as a captain. The slower bowlers are the ones that occasionally pick up wickets and keep the run rate down, yet he's hardly bowled them and the lions are sitting on 193/0 after 37 overs.

[SinghDude]

Khan is a twat.

Dolphins getting culled.:sick:

[SinghDude]

Siboto ?

Next wunderkind....

[lilggg]

On that note,khan out for a duck.Dolphins 6-1 (2 overs)

[lilggg]

Knights looking good for a bonus point,which will push dolphins down to 4th, ill assume 2 points for their last home game and a loss vs. the knights. So bye bye dolphins.

[SinghDude]

bosman........get a 100 pweez

[Devill]

Titans are not playing well at all.

[McT]

bosman........get a 100 pweez

Yeah. Need him to fire and miracle, 'cause the rain ain't going to save us this time.

[McT]

Titans are not playing well at all.

Haven't look good in the last bit. They started the tournament well.

[lilggg]

When they have to get saved by rain Vs. the dolphins u know they not playing well :)

[McT]

Deacon to Bosman, OUT, short and outside off, Bosman smashes the ball off the backfoot, Phangiso dives to his right and takes an excellent flying catch to his right. You have to see it to appreciate it! Wow that was breath-taking!

LE Bosman c Phangiso b Deacon 22 (43m 28b 4x4 0x6) SR: 78.57

I suppose there is still hope? :(

[lilggg]

Bosman gone. 45-2 (10/47 overs)

[SinghDude]

fook

[lilggg]

RETARD,there goes my superbru bonus point.

[schumi]

If Dolphins are going to win nows the time to push on, win or lose the game against the Knights is going to be really important.

2 Games today:

1. Dolphins v Knights at Pietermartizburg Oval (10:00)
A must win game for both teams, but if history repeats itself each team will get 2 points for an abandoned match (rain :p)!!!


2. Lions v Titans at Bidvest Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg (10:00)
Almost impossible for either team to finish in the top 3 so they'll be playing to avoid the wooden spoon.

Yep - game called off.

GUESS WHAT...dolphins losing. 44-4

[schumi]

As expected, Cape Cobras really strong line up, chasing number 1 spot, Dolphins demoralized. Can't really judge Dolphins season with so many rain affected matches.

[lilggg]

Chetty going ok so far.

[schumi]

Pity about Miller not doing well in this tournament

[McT]

Can't really judge Dolphins season with so many rain affected matches.

Would have thought it safe to assume that the points gained are pure luck. Nothing in their performance has inspired me yet in this season. The players who should be their 'stars' have rarely performed. I am not giving up my support for the team, but I am incredibly disappointed with what I have seen so far.

Well Done Chetty.

Well Done Chetty.

Encore! Doing a superb rescuing job for the team tonight. And he's still a youngster (http://www.espncricinfo.com/south-africa-domestic-2011/content/current/player/322815.html).

[McT]

And just as I was singing is praises, he goes :(

[McT]

The rot continues with Zondo's departure. Eish! :(

A good innings from the young man under the circumstances ;)

[McT]

So if the Knights beat the Lions, the Dolphins are into the semis (by default)?

Great innings by the Warriors and look set to cement their home semi.

No. If the Knights win and the Warriors win, then:
1. Cape Cobras are straight through to the final
2. Warriors play Knights in playoff spot for the final (single semi-final).

[lilggg]

Nope,1st goes to final 2nd and 3rd play in playoff. Dolphins can't get to 3rd no matter what.

Thank you, esteemed and more knowledgeable gents :o

I wasn't aware of that rule. Makes sense though that first place gets some privilege for the achievement.

[lilggg]

Quite the hiding.

[McT]

Ouch!!! :eek: Jakes, 5 sixes 5 fours, murders hapless Dolphins!!! :eek:

[McT]

After a really good start, the Knights are meekly handing over the win to the Lions.

For Lions , it's a pity they didn't get it together in the early games.

Could I be swallowing my words? Great fight from the tail and still in with a chance.

[lilggg]

Yip,looking close. Titans also looking good.

[lilggg]

Du Preez wins it, 5 sixes.

[MickeyD]

Means Warriors must travel to Bloem to play the Knights in the eliminator....

[McT]

Yip,looking close. Titans also looking good.

I didn't give them much chance, but they pulled it off in the end. Sawry for the Warriors, though.

Knights vs Warriors....

I went for the Knights on Superbru but hell I could just as well have flipped a coin and called it that way :(

Knights posting a challenging total... although I am backing the Warriors to get there in the end.

Warriors are gonna choke.

Are you a one-eyed Capetonian? :p Doubt they'll choke though. W have a decent line-up, also good balance with plenty of passion.

East Londoner... part of the Border setup. High time the Warriors kicked out the Border lot and went back to being EP, with PE (St Georges) as their sole base.

[Devill]

I went for the Warriors on SuperBru as I am second in my pool and the leader will go for Cobras.

Go Warriors! :p

Ps If I had to put money on the game I would put it on the Cobras winning :)

Loved Ntini's six swatted back over the bowler's head :D

Total should be enough. Cobras have suspect batting line up, especially with Smith opening :p

Seriously though, I am rooting for a Warriors win here. Always a chance. Cricket is a funny old game ;)
