CRICKET: SA v India

wow Derek,nice..streaming to the PC. nice arrangement, and its not even an IT company :D. Surely its disruptive.I mean how can you work when you're watching tv.... I thought msn was disruptive but this will stop every1 from working. If they have soccer, cricket, and rugby..

Daryl Cullinan commentating just before the ball that got smith out - "Graham Smith has never been out in the nineties."

The absolute worst case of commentator getting a wicket I have ever heard & seen!

Yeah Cullinan has gotten a few out already :) *most notably himself against Shane Warne* :D
 
hehe jonty..
did u see warne this morning? wow.... hes one the ausies will miss. Maybe sa can finally compete against them when mcgrath and warne have retired..

Gibbs and kallis, the most experienced batsmen in the team need to show how its done now....
 
That dismissal didn't have much to do with the pitch. Amla played a bad shot and actually played and missed Sreesanth a lot of times already.

I was thinking about it last night - Warne is definitely one of the most masterful cricketers of all time. Sadly, yet another Aussie :( . I don't see McGill filling the void entirely.

In terms of McGrath - I think Polly and McGrath are the last of a line of legendary "line and length" bowlers we will see. I don't see anyone stepping up to the plate and filling those shoes in a hurry, and I think when Polly retires that chapter in Cricket history may well finally be written and closed. Sad really. McGrath is a wonderful sportsman - but still a damn Aussie :D

Let's hope Gibbs stays calm for the first 10 or so overs. Kallis can do with his first double.

Edit: So much for Gibbs then :(
 
gibbs at no.6.. not such a bad idea i guess... prince has been playing well.
I just hope kallis and prince both dont get boobed down. That will play into the indian hands. Need to be positive to make a victory out of this. And both prince and kallis are relatively slow.. Esp prince. Sometimes he gets himself into a run drought and cant seem to get the ball off the square... but hes probably in much better form now after the wonderful series he has had so far

My first batting coach was adamant about always batting your best 3 batsmen at 4,5 and 6

// me thinks its goin to be a very very slow partnership.. around 2 runs an over...

hmm theyre turning on the screws. 600 prediction for the end of the day is not possible. Think we should be happy if they get to 400 today. Then maybe get to 600 jst before tea tomorrow and let the indians bat on this pitch on the last day... We cant afford to get less than 500...

yeah, we needed Gibbs to stay in and move the pace up a notch.
