I think what is also important in this innings was the ability to show that India was a once off. I think all the players were really pissed off with their performance in that match and AB in particular.

Our bowlers now need to show some great intensity and not really on the fact that we have 400 plus on the board. I want a demolition to signal that India was a once off and I'm sure that is what AB is telling all the lads in the dressing room.

Tough call but Rossouw has to get a spot in the starting 11. He's forcing his way in with sheer weight of runs...

Keep starting 11 as is with JP coming in for fudge

that would definately work. Though I'd be interested to see how the 5th bowler issue is handled today. I am expecting Roussouw to bowl a few overs. If he can show ability with the ball, then yes him and Duminy can try to see out 10 overs.

Having said that, this seems to be a tournament of bat first, score 300+, win - particularly in Australia. Most of the successful chases were in NZ IIRC...

 

[OMB]

Yes!

 

[CAPS LOCK]

The Gale-force turns out to be no more than a meagre fart.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Gayle castled by Abbott in the second over

We win.

 

[Sinbad]

And gayle is gone... Cheers WI. GG.

 

[Crystal Web]

I just scared everyone in the office with my shouting.

And for once at the screen and not them.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

lol, fail.

 

[Wall]

Abbott!!!

 

[Chris14]

Yay, Gayle is out! We should win it easily now.

 

[Creag]

Abbott takes Gayle and shuts down a lot ZCF scenarios and misplaced statements

 

[Solitude]

Woot! Now with the biggest threat gone I really can't see WI getting anywhere close to the target.

 

[Skimmie]

Great start!!!

 

[Badprop_za]

My call was Phangiso and I'm disappointed the obvious choicr wasn't made. Any way let's hope AB's inspired Steyn&Morkel. Tahir will win us his game, but he's due a bad game so those two need to step up today. I hope people don't blame Farhaan if we lose. Unlikely to lose but remotely possible.

Then Abbott gets Gayle.

You know he is going to get a fiver today....

SA will never go with 5 bowlers though.

 

[Kilgore_Trout_Redux]

Abbott looking good. I do rate him. That was an awesome delivery. Pace swing and movement off the deck.

 

[sand_man]

Gees, we don't use the referral system very well do we?!!

 

[Pitbull]

Yay, Gayle is out! We should win it easily now.

That is what happens if you put the holes of your tournament in one player.
