Reckon Gayle can get a century?

No

 

[satanboy]

How much did the Lankans receive to throw this one?

 

[AirWolf]

Vandersay: 2 overs, 1 maiden, 1 run, 1 wicket .

 

[sand_man]

Vandersay is going to be a handful in Nagpur.

The same could have been said about South Africa vs England.

 

[sand_man]

You know what, I'm no longer confident we can beat Sri Lanka.

 

[Neoprod]

Yeah, their attack has all the things we hate...spin and accurate medium pace. Not what you want on a slow pitch.

And we playing in Nagpur, a spinners wet dream. Where the likes of Santner and Sodhi are more threatening than Boult and Southee.

Edit: oh wait I'm taking s hit. We play WI next in Nagpur...

Yeah, Lankans in Delhi, Kotla stadium.

 

[lilggg]

Gayle has had enough lol

 

[Sinbad]

Haha yeah.

 

[Sinbad]

Looks like the bookies don't want him out there

 

[Kr1mZoN]

Clearly bounced especially from the side angle. Crowd and commentators just want Gayle.

 

[Sinbad]

Sri Lanka fielding looks to be corrupted

I take my words back. That dropped catch was ridiculous.

 

[Dan C]

Well done WI

Perera to Russell, SIX, what a way to finish it! Latches onto a delivery wide outside off and sends a skimming drive over the cover boundary

However, when asked if he would have liked to have tested his methods against Steyn, arguably the finest fast bowler of his generation, Shahzad was as dismissive of his merits as he had been of South Africa's opening bowlers.

"It doesn't matter which bowler is playing because the wicket is very good, you see," he said "I love playing Dale Steyn because Dale Steyn is not dangerous. Morris is very dangerous because he has height and swings the ball. Dale Steyn [has] only pace, so this wicket is good to face a pacer, the ball is coming onto the bat. So no, I am not happy that Dale Steyn is not playing."

His answer was greeted with incredulity and a smattering of applause in the press room, where one journalist was so taken aback by his answer, he asked him to repeat the punchline.

"I said Dale Steyn is not playing and I am not happy," Shahzad responded. His confidence was especially telling, seeing as Steyn dismissed him for 2 in their only previous match-up at a world event, at Bridgetown during Afghanistan's World T20 debut in 2010.

Pretty accurate.

 

[Arthur]

Not too shabby, Bangladesh. Hoping their demon spinners produce an upset win.

 

[Sinbad]

Fielding letting them down a tad

Yeah, SA cricketers would never get involved in this type of thing.

:erm:
