Petersen 9 runs, Biff still on 0
Clap-clap, Biff off the mark with a single
Biff departs for 2
Hahahaha
He’s gone, Biff bowled Malinga for 2 off 13. SA 14/1
64 @ Just For Kicks:
MASSIVE 2 from Biff, hey!
He got 2 off 13 balls….
Hey, Biff, when you get to the change rooms, just keep on walking, your taxi’s waiting
@ grootblousmile:I should have taken those odds!!!
67 @ Just For Kicks:
Eishhh, I wonder when the powers that be are going to get gatvol of his kak form… or lack thereof.
Ingram’s hitting them nicely in the screws
Eish, as I say that Slinga bowls a yorker and beats Ingram… wicket gone
Wickettt! Ingram bowled off a slow yorker by Malinga for 13 off 8. SA 39/2
At least Ingram got over 10!
13 off 8 balls
Thought this may be a problem, maybe sending Kallis home was one match too early. With Biffs form, we are very light on experience at the top, and perhaps Kallis would have seen that slow ball coming
So Malinga’s off, time to score some runs
Dropped to 4/over, need to pick it up a bit, boys
Faf needs to cement his place here, needs some runs, would be good to get the against Herath and Malinga
As I say that, Faf opens up with 2 fours
Howzit Timothy
Review for Peterson LBW
OUT Peterson LBW Dilshan for 17off 27. SA 52/3 after 12.1 overs
GBS’s adopted son strides to the crease, good luck boyo!
O donner, Alviro out and the dufus, which is Duminy comes to the crease.
Now we can watch paint dry as the runs dry up on his end…. as he just tickles it for silly little ones all over.
@ grootblousmile:Knew that would wake you up!
Fark, let me go chow.
…. and I really don’t know why I should go and entertain BonzaiHandbriekie’s dad (Handbriekie’s ex) who’s been invited for dinner because it’s his birthday. He could have taken BonzaiHandbriekie and Os out for freegin dinner…
Eishhhhhhhhh
@ grootblousmile:Enjoy
Bowling power play taken, Proteas gone into their shells a bit
Faf up to 30 off 38, a couple of 4’s in the power play just what we needed
Thats mis field no.3 for Malinga
Faf not looking happy, me thinks cramp has him a bit
Faf on 47, can he get his 50?
