funny how ppl forget the years of amazing bowling because he has a few bad games

polly is one the best bowler of my generation and to say that about him is shocking

jk8 u cant be south african because no south african would say that about their best bowler of all time

sis

I defended him!
Lol he is doing very bad atm against better teams, and to the little minnows he will do great as always.

Well I wont deny Polly is a world class bowler, best in the world as far as Im concerned but we need him to show his class NOW against both the smaller teams and the big guns also. He has had a rough few games but give him a break, he'll come right.

He cant. hes become mechanical, to predictable easy to judge, and hes to old to change now, I think its his time, after the Pro20 he'll retire, and not follow what Donald did.

bah.
Rain ftl

this will be typical of our luck both games against bangies and ireland washed out

needing to beat to beat windies to go through and loosing to them once again and loosing out again

typical

 

[feo]

Nah only 3 overs lost so its not so bad. I think its worse for Ireland because if the weather stays good now till the end they got 3 overs less to get the runs. Weather does not look very good though.

There is a rain day allowed for all super eight matches - we're a long way from there yet.

Although it really would shake things up if one of the teams fighting for the remaining semi-final spots (NZ, SA, SL or Eng) missed on banking their points against Bang/Ire.

Edit: And I see we're back on.

dropping like flies now..........nice

 

[krycor]

Ab is starting a trend... 0 or 50+

 

[mccrack]

I am nervous about this.... ball is moving around, kallis played and missed a few. Rain about D/L might come into play ..... not confident at all.

 

[ghalied]

yeah looking cloudy and the wind seems to have picked up

17-1 atm

 

[feo]

After 20 overs if we are still only 1 wicket down then we'll need 74 so we just gotta play sensibly. But net run rate also comes into play so we must win with at least a run rate of 5 or more.

 

[Brawler]

smith out, caught & bowled.

 

[mccrack]

118-3 - 10 overs left .... we are playing this too safe ... need to motor to get the Net Run Rate up.

 

[ghalied]

144 - 3 - 15 to win off 35 balls, we've wrapped this one up, not a good performance but it'll di i should think.

 

[kiepie]

Not a convincing win.

But I'll take it!

 

[ghalied]

nice 6 by prince to end it all off.
