[AirWolf]

92/1 after 14 overs.

Gibbs made a half-century so far .

 

[JohanG]

Tait is getting cained (sp) by Gibbs. He must be peeved with the two drops in the 1st over

 

[DJ...]

WOW! Watching Gibbs bat like this is an absolute treat! Back to his best...

Same, checking cricinfo, but will catch the highlight this afternoon... Damn looks llike gibbs is back

 

[JohanG]

He was due for a while now. Keeps on getting a start and then goes out. I think this pitch suits him though. Go Gibbs

 

[JohanG]

18.6 Johnson to Gibbs, OUT, finally Ponting holds one, its just catching practice from Gibbs, not moving as he reaches out and plays it off the face of the bat smack to first slip, who cups it in front of his face
HH Gibbs c MEK Hussey b Johnson 64 (52b 10x4 1x6) SR: 123.07

Argh, the curse

 

[sand_man]

Gibbs out 64 off 53, good knock...

 

[sand_man]

oooh... bowling power play being taken... good time for OZ to take it but Kallis must cash in..

 

[sand_man]

Ab out... 3 soft dismissals and we keeping OZ in the game...

Lets hope Duminy is on form today

Lets hope yes, not sure my nerves can handle another tight game...

 

[Fiekus]

commentators are mentioning the strike rates of Kallis and Duminy. They say Ponting questioned Duminy's SR and said it was on the slow side.... oooooh mind games

Strike rate of 76.8 is slow? It's perfect for the type of role he plays in the middle order, and he can step it up if he needs to. The Aussies can suck on it, they're just jealous

edit: just cursed it, he's out now

 

[Devill]

27.6 Hauritz to Duminy, OUT
JP Duminy b Hauritz 9 (23b 1x4 0x6) SR: 39.13

Damnit!

 

[sand_man]

game over..

 

[Smooth Criminal]

WTF Kallis???

 

[jvk]

we need a 100 or so with 5 wickets in hand and a good few overs left.....the game isn't over ...

 

[Devill]

game over..

Shurrrrup!

Lol, wasnt this what you said last time? Then we won.

 

[jvk]

South Africa require another 105 runs with 5 wickets and 21.0 overs remaining

with a bit of luck we can still pull this off
