Nobody except maybe Shezi came close. Pity.

Is a bit of a surprise given their form in the recent tournament.

What's this game all about? One T20?
Now a team of mediocre all rounders?

Not a serious match I guess?

It is a tribute to Kallis, not really a series or anything. Seems like we have a good thing going on with India in terms of tributes.

True that. SA and India share quite a unique cricketing relationship. Very nice to see... Remember they were also our 1st opposition coming out of isolation.

SA will win the T20 match tonight for sure

Awesome batting by Proteas, especially Ingram. Great to see him come good tonight.

 

[Creag]

Lightning outside now

 

[AirWolf]

Good batting performance from our guys .

Should have been a close game with the start that India got.

 

[chris54]

Pity about the way it ended Would have been a good game.

 

[Creag]

Would love to have seen the game to its end. Pity.

Parnell, Ingram and Lopsy all looking good.

Kallis continues to show his world class ability to adapt to the game he's playing.

They should make this a best of 3 series.
Play all 3 on consecutive days from Friday to Sunday.
First 1 in Centurion and the last 2 at Wanderes.
Make tickets for the first 2 dirt cheap so you'll have packed houses.
