    59@ grootblousmile: We should bowl them out. Though have not watched a single minute of this game. So not sure of the pitch or the weather in Kimberley?

    Beautiful catch by Alviro Petersen ON the boundary…

    Hell, that was good… looked like it was a 6 all the way, Alviro calmly jumped and grabbed it, kept his balance just inside the rope, MAN OUT!

    Sri Lanka 100 / 2 after 16.2 overs.

    Wicket is a belter… no wonder SA got 299.

    Sri Lanka keeping with the required rate of 6 an over…

  • 67

    grootblousmile on 20 January 2012 at 8:30 pm

    Easy wicket off a slow ball, Thirimane chipped it to mid on – Duminy, bowled Philander for 13 off 15 balls. SL 194/4 after34.4 overs

    Parnell has a LBW decision turned down due to a no ball. You have to get the basics right guys

  • 75

    Just For Kicks on 20 January 2012 at 9:32 pm

    Some big runs coming in the power play with Robbie Peterson bowling, a big 6 and a 4 in that over

  • 76

    grootblousmile on 20 January 2012 at 9:38 pm

    Sri Lanka needs 75 to win off 72 balls…. seems like they’re coasting.

  • 77

    Just For Kicks on 20 January 2012 at 9:46 pm

    Pandemonium, batsmen, Bowler, Wicket keeper, ball and stumps strewn all over the square, but sadly, no run out in all of that

    68 & 69 @ Blue Bird:
    Money is money… if there’s good money in the Undertaker’s business, then so be it.

    I was thinking, I want to get involved in about 15 businesses as Silent partner, protecting myself by handling ALL the finances… but not just ANY business, it has to have extraordinary potential…

    I want to keep an ear out for the best business ideas for which people don’t have the money to go it alone, then invest some money (have to make my investment back in the first year) into those businesses as equal partner, and thus getting it off the ground, the other person doing ALL the work (except the finances).

    If the business lasts a year and my investment is paid back, then everything thereafter is a bonus.

    You know how the saying goes… money makes money…

    Sri Lanka ends their batting PowerPlay and now need less than a run a ball.

    Sri Lanka need 56 from 60 balls, with 6 wickets standing.

  • 81

    grootblousmile on 20 January 2012 at 9:56 pm

    Wickettttttttt!

    Tsotsie gets Chandimal!

    It’s now 54 needed off 54 balls again…

  • 82

    grootblousmile on 20 January 2012 at 9:57 pm

    9 Overs left… the SA bowling must now be ultra tight!

  • 83

    Just For Kicks on 20 January 2012 at 9:58 pm

    Wow, what a strange over, but it ended the right way, with a wicket to Lopsie, so alls well that ends well. Now a few more please

  • 84

    grootblousmile on 20 January 2012 at 10:00 pm

    83 @ Just For Kicks:

  • 87

    grootblousmile on 20 January 2012 at 10:06 pm

    Huge 6 by Sri Lanka, too short by Petersen…. and another 6

    Sri Lanka 266 / 5

    Perera on 50 off only 30 balls.

  • 88

    grootblousmile on 20 January 2012 at 10:07 pm

    Sri Lanka looks hands down favourites now… eishhh

  • 89

    grootblousmile on 20 January 2012 at 10:10 pm

    SA will have to drag it back big time now….

    Come on Tsotsie… nice couple of dot balls.

    But we need more than that.

    Just For Kicks on 20 January 2012 at 10:10 pm

    Unless there is some very special bowling/fielding, which there hasn’t been yet, Sri Lanka are in the pound seat here – 32 off 37, should be a walk in the park. Just shows how poor our second half batting performance was.
