49 for Faf now, and 100 up
Thats 50 for Faf off 55 balls
run out review for Duminy
Thats wrong, he wasn’t out
What is happening here.
Hallo all
Hi Supers, could be in for a very exciting finish here, couple of dodgy decisions, but on the whole good cricket. We put down a few chances, and SL struggling in the field a bit
I reckon Duminy is going to get a hefty fine for not walking , and having to have to be told to go by the umpires. Sad end to a wrong decision
@ Just For Kicks:
Hey there my winemaker friend. Sa have a mountain to climb, i hope that ABs winning form lasts a bit longer.
Fafs gone here, run out for 72 off 74 balls
Morkel needs to bat well here, last recognised batsmen
98@ superBul:Nice to see though, after the last two walk-overs. Hows work?
Brilliant batting from AB, 3 X 4’s in the last over, all well worked
@ Just For Kicks:
101
Good game this, work? what work?
No it is OK, but not much done today we have rain here since early, not sure how much , but it is still pouring down.
With rain on the way, Proteas needed to be 173 at the end of that last over, so need to pick it up a bit, end of this over need to be 176
103@ superBul:could do with a bit of rain down here, unbearable heat at the moment
Rain starting to come down at Chevrolet Park, covers coming on. ahead of the D/L at the moment, so all ok at the moment
they have decided to come off. South Africa are ahead on the D/L score at the moment
Hey, not too bad so far by the Blomme.
I’m off to bed now… sleep well, keep well…
Gooooooooooooi Mieliesssssssss!
If that rain is like the one we have it is curtains for the game.
Me off to bed too.
Cheers
And on that note, so am I
