| South Africa innings (50 overs maximum) | R | B | 4s | 6s | SR | |||
 |
HM Amla | c Strauss b Collingwood | 57 | 72 | 6 | 0 | 79.16 | |
| 26.6 this time he’s gone! The ball after being given a life and it’s almost an action replay…Amla plays early and is done by a lack of pace and a touch of tennis-ball bounce, this time the chance goes to short cover where Strauss holds on 131/4 | ||||||||
|
GC Smith* | c Strauss b Bresnan | 12 | 21 | 2 | 0 | 57.14 | |
| 5.6 there’s the breakthrough, good line outside off, Smith pushes with a half-open face and sends a comfortable edge to first slip…he was trying to steer that to third man, but the ball was too close to him 27/1 | ||||||||
|
AB de Villiers | c Collingwood b Anderson | 2 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 20.00 | |
| 8.3 that’s a Collingwood special…he marks becoming England’s most capped ODI player by pulling off a blinder at backward point as de Villiers cuts in the air. It came out of the middle, but Collingwood dived to his left and got both hands to the catch…that’s a wicket for the fielder 38/2 | ||||||||
|
JP Duminy | c †Prior b Wright | 41 | 47 | 5 | 1 | 87.23 | |
| 23.2 big breakthrough for England…Wright rewarded for a probing spell as Duminy pushes outside off and gets a thin, low edge through to Matt Prior. Like Smith, he was trying to find third man and pays the price 111/3 | ||||||||
|
AN Petersen | b Bresnan | 64 | 65 | 5 | 1 | 98.46 | |
| 43.4 gone! Timely breakthrough from Bresnan, a good delivery beats Petersen as he looks to guide the ball away and clips the top of the stumps 205/7 | ||||||||
|
R McLaren | c †Prior b Anderson | 5 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 38.46 | |
| 32.4 the bowling change works, as McLaren goes for a flashy drive well outside off stump but can only feather one through to Prior 155/5 | ||||||||
|
JA Morkel | c Morgan b Collingwood | 6 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 50.00 | |
| 36.2 great catch! dragged down from Collingwod and Morkel’s swipe to deep square-leg is slightly mistimed. Morgan timed his jump perfectly to hold an excellent catch. 165/6 | ||||||||
| MV Boucher† | not out | 30 | 37 | 2 | 0 | 81.08 | ||
|
RE van der Merwe | c Bresnan b Anderson | 5 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 55.55 | |
| 46.3 gone…England continue to chip away and Anderson collects his third, although it wasn’t a great ball as van der Merwe clips a leg-stump delivery straight into the hands of midwicket on the edge of the ring 222/8 | ||||||||
|
DW Steyn | c Trott b Mahmood | 12 | 11 | 0 | 1 | 109.09 | |
| 48.6 well, the extra ball allows him to end with a wicket as Steyn tries to heave over midwicket and doesn’t get any real distance on the shot 242/9 | ||||||||

Proteas 205 / 7 after 44 overs
Thanks GBS for the crici thread.
Not sure if we will have enough. Hope we can get to 240 at least.
225/8 after 47 overs. Hope our bowling is better than our batting. We need to bowl really well to win this one.
Yip, the wickets have just fallen too ofter since wicket No 4
3@ Puma – What did you think about my match summary for the Bokke / Italy game?
Looks like the Proteas will get close to 250
Proteas 250 after 50 overs
I think they’re 25 runs light
250/9 after 50 overs. We may still win this one. Maybe 20 runs short but think that pitch is a bit slow there today.
Go Proteas.
5 – GBS I think your summary was very good and spot on boet.
GBS how good was it to see Scotland win last night? Felt good for them.
Who is Bullsbabe? She was the only one to choose Scotland to win. Also supports the ABs :(sad
Going to get lunch. Back when the crici starts.
England batting now
Fark, I’m babysitting a doggy…. Bonzihandbriekie’s new stoepkakkertjie… 7 weeks old, the little shit.
Handbriekie & Bonzaihandbriekie gone to the freegin shops.
It wants constant attention, otherwise it goes and howls at the steps going into the house… I’m not built for this shit!!!
Eng 19 / 0 after 5 overs
GBS – I can’t do babies but puppies…….gimmie, gimmie, gimmie… 😆
What is a steopkakkerjie?
Hey, how are you today? Bit of a manic day for you on RT yesterday!
Oh no not the name for one who poops on the step?
Hi Puma, see you are here and ‘there’ this morning….keeping busy!! 😆

Just back from lunch missed the wickets that went. See England have 2 wickets gone.
Game on it looks like.
18 – Carol,
Hope you enjoy your lunch out Carol, England now 56/2 after 15 overs.
24@ Puma – Fark, it was a long lunch… did you have to grow the calf, corn feed it, watch it grow, slaughter it, hang the meat to age, marinate it, braai it and then eat?
… or maybe you had to walk to the restaurant and back with those wonky knees, with your zimmerframe?
Eng 56 / 2 after 15 overs
26 – GBS…….. 😆 Nah, boet it was a quick lunch had to go out though. Now back and relaxing watching the cricket.
We need another wicket soon. We could be 20 runs short here. Just need to keep bowling well.
26 – GBS…….hehehehe Zimmerframe? NEVER 😆 Still manage fine slow but fine. Will rather get the replacements before I have to use anything like that 😀
75/2 after 20 overs. Need to take a wicket soon. Otherwise no pressure on them.
