Sri Lanka now 192 / 5 after 38.1 overs
Wicketttt! Chandimal gone caught Smith, bowled Morkel for 36 off 54 balls SL 192/5 after 38.1 overs
30@ grootblousmile:no square box on my ‘Visibility’ edit page, just choice of Public, Password protected, Private
Another throw down of the stumps, home but still, great throw from Steyn
@ grootblousmile:And you called me ugly!!!!!!
35 @ Just For Kicks:
Yeah, yeah… but at least I dress better… hehehe
SL really need to pick up this run rate, Proteas are holding them out nicely at the moment
Another catch goes down, this time Robin Peterson. Thats 4 for the innings so far, I shouldn’t have mentioned the fielding earlier!
As I say that other Peterson takes out Matthews with a good catch down at long on. Matthews caught A peterson, bowled Tsotsobe for 15 off 14. SL 220/6 after 43.3
I see they take their washing to Chevrolet Park and hang it out to dry whilst the cricket is on
C’mon SL get some damn runs!
Much better Kula, big six. Not doing anything for M Morkels bowling figures, but we need a score here, or it will be another boring long drawn out run chase that SA are so good at doing
They’ll set us a good but very makable target.
Wonder what Biff will get? 6, 7, 13?
Bet you he’ll edge it again or cut it onto his own stumps!
Wickett! Morne comes back in his final over to bowl N Kula for 40 off 38. SL 259/7 off 48.8
43@ grootblousmile:you won’t find very good odds at any betting shop with a bet like that!!!
Wicket!!
Dale Steyn gets Slinga’s middle stump
Great wicket. Maliga bowled Steyn for 2 off 4 balls. SL 262/8. SL 20 – 30 runs short, I think
Last ball run-out.
SA need 266 to win.
Thats it, another wicket. Kula run out off the last ball for 18 from 19 balls. SL 265/9 after 50 overs. Proteas need 266 to win. Lets hope they come out and play tonight, not just scratch around like the last match
Dinner break, and time for a swim for me, I think!
Interesting, no one has chased down this total at Chevrolet park. I still say SL were 20-30 runs light. Lets see
Loosehead, where are you, quick, he on
Odds on Biff getting out under 10 must be 20%
Odds on Biff getting 10 – 20 must be 40%
Odds on Biff getting 21 – 30 must be around 20%
Odds on Biff getting 31 – 40 must be 10%
Odds on Biff getting 41 – 49 must be 5%
Odds on Biff getting 50 and better must be 5%
Very fast start by Biff… 0 from 6 balls
Alviro Petersen seems in a hurry… 4 from 2 balls
@ grootblousmile:I’m with the 20% camp
@ Just For Kicks:Having seen some of the locals in the stands, I take back what I said, we’re both bloody good looking!
56 @ Just For Kicks:
His body balance seems to be way out… fark I’m surprised he does’nt fall over
Lovely shot Peterson. The better he plays, the more chance of Biff not making it in the future!
58@ grootblousmile:Seeing that wobble he showed us in the fielding innings when he was running around, lets hope he doesn’t fall over, an earthquake in Bloem tonight would ruin my evening
