It is not always wickets that win games, so if tahir takes 2 wickets but goes for 4 runs and botha takes no wickets and goes for 3 runs an over who had the better day?

Was it botha keeping it so tight that risks needed to taken on other bowlers than contributed to their demise? Can tahir knock 20 off 15? So many variables but botha can bowl well, field well, batting is decent until tahir shows me something similar i would pick botha plus i don't want to turn into an england type setup relying on people from other countries winning us games :D.

Tahir's had a better day. A new batsman at the crease creates more pressure than the same batsman seeing off 1 bowler at 3 RPO.

As for 20 off 15, Botha can do it, but he doesn't do it consistently. More often than not, it's likely to be 11 off 14 balls, and then out.

My point was that wickets are not the only way you win games, tight bowling and building pressure contributes to that as well. The overs fly by the run rate is low and then you bring in your wicket taker because the opposition are needing big runs. Not sure bringing steyn back is the best idea, bring on tahir for a couple overs we need a wicket. Bowl botha finished he was going along amazingly well.
 
Flood lights are on. Rain was forecasted. looking mighty gloomy :(

let's see what Tahir can do.
 
Good over tahir, fantastic.

108/2 29 so they are on track for around 260 possibly higher if ross explodes.

Rather try different stuff than stick to the guide book i reckon. Smith has done well. RR is below 4.

nz won't get close. They digging themselves into a very deep hole. Pedantic batting. The players coming in are going to be under huge pressure so Jesse and Ross better not go out.

No they are going along perfect, 8 wickets power play to come. Things are looking good for them. Ross is set, ryder is set. They will get a big total here i think.

If we double the score 232 add in around 40 extra for the power play and we are looking at 260-300.
 
Wicket coming up soon guys. They're going to look to attack Tahir and get out :D

300 is excessive. that's 180 in 20 overs :wtf:
 
Great tahir you beauty!!!!!!!

118/2 after 31

Walls dude if ross taylor gets going he can smash 70 easily in 5 overs of a power play.
 
Tahir is not getting those wickets!!!!!!!!! come on we need ross out before the fast bowlers and power play comes into action.
