Lol, zero fcks given...

26.4 Hamid to Udana, no run, Udana looks like he is not going to hang around for too long. Lines up for a slog and gets cramped for room. Mistimes it to mid-off

 

[ShloshMalosh]

Lol, zero fcks given...

Its worked for him though. *cough* Durban *cough*

What...The... Heck?! Chris Rock from Fifth Element anyone...?

It was Chris Tucker

Ah yes...

 

[rietrot]

Hahahahahaha! So what should we do now? Pray?

Meh steyn is over rated anyway. He should have retired years ago already.

 

[ShloshMalosh]

Ok. Time for crying over spilt milk is over.

Team for India!

Amla
QDK
Aiden
Faf
Rassie
JP
Miller
Andile
Rabada
Hendricks
Tahir

JP and Aiden MUST give us 10 overs. And we have a shorter tail.

 

[ShloshMalosh]

stefan? Didn't you say that we have plenty of quality players from our domestic scene? This guy is no proper replacement for Dale Steyn.

Check his momentum stats

Him and Junior Dala would have been the options.

SL 178/7

Dawlat Zadran to Udana, OUT, What are you DOING UDANA?! 19 overs left to bat and Udana lifts his head for a wild slog over the River Taff. Full and straight on the stumps from Dawlat and the zing bails go flying as middle stump is knocked back.

The BOLD FONT is the CricInfo writer. From this we deduce:

1. The writer is potentially pro SL.
2. The mindset of Sri Lankan players is still in the doldrums.

Try following the BBC feed, you'd think England are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Same as the sky sport commentary team. It gets rather annoying.

Suprised at SL struggling today though!

Rashid Khan to Kusal Perera, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

There goes the main stay...

 

[ShloshMalosh]

Who's supposed to be his replacement?


Still not worthy of being Dale's replacement. Anyway, this WC campaign is a lost cause.

There arent any players on the planet that can replace dale steyn when hes fit. So ja...

Not a pretty sight.

Now the rain has stopped any play

 

[ShloshMalosh]

World Cup playing regulations state that there's 75 minutes of wiggle room before overs get deducted. So we've got about an hour more to go before we hit that mark.

Radar is showing a cell of rain hovering around the ground for the next hour or so. Sharda Ugra from the ground is reporting that the rain has gotten heavier.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Cape Town and Cardiff must be linked somehow. Chucking it down here too...

JP and Aiden MUST give us 10 overs. And we have a shorter tail.

I don't see why they shouldn't. If they get told to bowl 5/5 or 6/4, then they need to adjust their mindset accordingly. One bad over is not 'get out of jail free' card. Your team composition works for me.
