So you can put your money in it? :p
Lol I know there's some of the same guys in the rugby side as the cricket side but there's is a certain common overconfidence among both sets of fans. Sure the WI may well lose this match or collapse, but certainly one should fear that this attack is more than capable of handing the WI a win with more than a couple of overs to spare too.

Just like Gayle's wicket, the only people who will be reponsible for WI failign to chase this one down a re the WI batsmen themselves. I can't see any single one of our bowlers earning their wickets like say Steyn/Philander.

I wonder if AB would've allowed QdK&Parnell to sway him like they did Amla

Doubt it. Amla's too polite to deny the bowler/keeper the review. We wasted plenty in the tests. He needs to be more circumspect with those in the future.

OT that Spar add isn't very PC hey Outkast.

I cringe every time one of our commentators **** themselves silly about Morkel.

Looks like WI is doing same thing they did at Wanderers. Decided to bat the full overs and get to target x. Even if it means losing the game.
I.e. try to gain something positive out of game.
During the 1st 9 over powerplay, why did we not try death bowling? Practice in match situation when batsmen was just swinging as hard as they could.

Even with a boundary every over, they well behind the required run rate. 7 off the last so they 5 short. The pressure builds relentlessly.

Now 2 off this over, leaves them 10 shy of the required rate. Plus 5 from the previous over, 15 runs in 2 overs.

Edit: it's this scoreboard pressure that makes chasing a big total so challenging.
