de Lange to Pongolo, no ball, SIX, oh dear! This is theater! This is insane drama. When one would have thought, Heats has won this match,de Lange slips in a full-toss over the waist. Pongolo gets enough bat on it and it sails over fine leg for a maximum
Well he got hit for 2 sixes off one ball..13 runsWhen your one job is not to let a tailender hit you for two sixes in three balls.
Durban - Two British citizens allegedly linked to illegal sports betting and match-fixing syndicates were arrested at Kingsmead Stadium during the Mzansi Super League (MSL) match on Friday.
The pair, who were in a hospitality suite watching Durban Heat play Jozi Stars, are said to have been banned from Cricket South Africa (CSA) fixtures.
It was the second instance of suspected match-fixers being arrested during an MSL fixture.
MSL head Russell Adams confirmed that two other men were arrested in Paarl when the home team, Paarl Rocks, clashed with Tshwane Spartans on November 18.
He said that CSA always deployed members of its anti-corruption security unit at matches, but he was not prepared to divulge further details about the arrests.
CSA chief executive Thabang Moroe said his organisation was concerned that the integrity of the game was under threat and had upped efforts in the MSL to root out corrupt activities.
The MSL, a CSA premier T-20 cricket competition, began on November 16 and ends on Sunday.

Chris Gayle will play no further part in Jozi Stars' Mzansi Super League campaign as he is leaving South Africa to attend his mother's funeral later this week.
"Although my mom passed away on the sixth of last month she's not been laid to rest as other family members were not able to get home and they're flying in this week," Gayle said. "It's not been easy to play cricket when you've lost your mom, who you've also been close to."
"The game was a nice distraction for me, because had I been home it would have been worse, so meeting new team members helped calm me. It's going to be emotional when I go back."
