de Villiers to a well fought 50
AB de Villiers gets his 50…
Between him and Amla we’ve got 2 good captains in the wings, to build the team around.
239@ grootblousmile:With de Villiers at 6 and keeping wicket, you’d have 6 frontline batsmen, with Philander, Botha and Steyn as all rounders And Morkel (can also bat a bit) and DeLange at 10 and 11, It’s a pretty strong batting line-up. All depends who we bring in for the batting.
243 @ Just For Kicks:
Who would you bring in to bat to replace Biff, Rudolph, Kallis, Prince?
244 @ grootblousmile:
David Miller, Heino Kuhn, Loots Bosman & Neil McKenzie maybe???
2nd New ball has been taken… let’s see what happens now.
If only BOTH AB de Villiers & Dale Steyn can bat on well and get another 100 between them, might just throw the cat amongst the pigeons… other than that it will have been a great fight by Steyn & AB… and not much more.
Dale Steyn looking quite comfortable, choosing well so far what to hit and what to leave well alone
First target should be to save the game, the second target to chase the runs down
Partnership between AB & Dale at 99 already….
Can’t see a lot more cricket happening today in Deben, getting quite dark there now
Couple of good leaves by Dale again…. he’s seeing the ball well for a bowler
Dale Steyn looking skywards…. forcing the umpire to take his light meter out.
Back in the pocket, light still OK, apparently.
O fok, there goes AB, trapped LBW.
AB asks for a review
AB is plum out… eishhhh
hmmm, wonder how the lankans will start to react if the deficit go under 200 with 4 wickets still in hand? yes, i know its still a long way even from there, but they would then know that they WILL HAVE TO bowl us out as a draw (should we reach tea or beyond that on day 5) will no longer be on the cards!
SA 232 / 7
AB de Villiers perishes at 69
How long can the SA tail wag for now?
#256
and there i went and jinx them, argh!!
259 @ Ashley:
Ag nee man…. kon jy nie maar jou bek gehou het nie?
Hehehe
Dale Steyn hits Morkel a mooerse shot on the thighpad….
Luckily no damage done
Then Steyn hits a marvelous straight 4… good cricket shot, not just a slog
Steyn run-out??
TV umpire called in.
He’s safe… just
Phweew
O flok, Morkel perishes… LBW
SA 241 / 8
Will we even see a 5th Day?
Damn, would like it if Dale Steyn at least gets his 50. He’s on 43 now.
Tahir now in to bat.
Dale Steyn out… LBW.
All falling to pieces now…
Sri Lanka need just 1 more wicket for the win.
All out… De Lange departs for 0
SA all out for 241.
Sri Lanka wins with comfort, a day early.
So, 1 all in the Series against a team which should not have bothered the Ama-chokers to rights!
Ja swaer…. Biff, you can say what you want…
Who lost it for SA…. the batsmen yes…. but who, Mr Captain?
