I assume we will be able to follow the games on Super Sport?

Any team picks for to win the tournament? This is going to be fun to watch ... super clubs side with some huge names in some of the teams banging it out. I am sitting on the edge of seat already.

Need a caffeine fix to calm me down

What an innings from JP Duminy Was a great match except for the Cobras' fielding

 

[sand_man]

Epic knock from JP!!!!

 

[Sting]

Did they show the distance of the JP six he hit off Roelof vd Merwe? It was HUGE!!! Not the 105m one, the BIGGER one!!!!

 

[AirWolf]

Pity he didn't play like that against England.

 

[killadoob]

Made me sick watching him destroy their attack and thinking back to the t20 semi when he plodded around for singles.

WTF duminy!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ebii]

Yes he is actually doing the right thing in all the wrong matches. If you look at the warm-up match that SA played against the WI before the Champions Trophy he also played a wonderful innings...but he really sucked in the Champions Trophy.

To true!

The only downside to the Cobras win is my pick 'em on CricInfo got all messed up

LoL, yah i can't keep track of these games.. so didn't do a fantasy thing but dang.. 99runs in a Twenty20 game is insane. WTF is wrong with him?? seems to me he is only valuable in non-national games Tho, i'm sure the SA national players will now be ready to go after shrugging off their rustyness while collapsing in the Champ trophy

Yea one of the best pro innings i have ever seen jp reserves for his team

The boy/man has talent when not playing for us .

He did well against Aus in Aus, maybe he only plays well overseas?
I underestimated him, he played well, he could have made his 100 though...
Did you see that pull shot??? He hit it like a samurai ninja!!!

Gonna be a good competition!

You missed out dude.

I didnt think the Cobras would make it after Gibbs went for a duck...
I missed the middle innings caught the last 8 overs!!

The best part was the end, 9 runs of 6 balls needed, Kumble takes forever to set the field, bowler bowls, 1st ball, 6!!!!

Yes he did well in aus but then after that what did he do?

How come he could not do it after that, i mean pro 20 semi against the paki's he freakin ran single after single after single, last night he hit 6 after 6 after 6 then smashed fours. I mean WTF JP!!!!!!!!!

We need that during that semi .

Being played in India. Awesome!

I don't get why people are surprise whenever Gibbs goes early... The guy is a hit 'n miss at best not one to be relied upon.

Must say I didn't think they'd make 181 after all that talk of 150 being a par score... I would certainly not have bet on JP being the smacker that he turned out to be after his showing in the IPL here

What a lekker win for the cobras. Now its time for the eagles to show what they can do. 12:00 the build up begins on SS

 

[crazyrocker]

wasnt interested in watching this tournament at all but JP's turned that thought around for me, brilliant batting by him & yes it is a major pitty he didnt play like that for SA when we needed him.
