Sri Lanka wins, with 1 ball spare
Thats how every ODI should be, loved it. Ups and downs, to’s and fro’s, makes for a great spectacle.
Balls-hair width game…
To my mind, SA’s slow batting start could have been quite a bit better… and they could have bowled less on leg stump
@ Just For Kicks:
Was good, i shouted like i do with ever Bulls try, neighbors must think i am mad. OK they know it>
AB for MOM, MOS, and then lets stop stuffing around, bring on the real stuff – with the odd NH match in-between, some English rubbish from Dubai, and the odd Varsity match as well.
So, SA win the Series, 3 / 2 after leading 3 / 0.
GBS and then again you can say that Sri Lankas last 3 over could have been better….. That is the game of cricket, you never know until it is over.
@ grootblousmile:
306
that hurts me too, i hate it. We should have smashed them. Maybe Kirsten is building up to a point where the most serious games are taken seriously, the rest are just there for preparation.
The serious ones is of course the knockout games in the WC
Right outta here, ball and chain demanding to watch Strictly come Dancing, I am off to do some gardening. Cheers guys, thanks for the company
308 @ superBul:
Don’t take a Jake the Snake or Divvy stance…. a Test or ODI is a Test (or ODI)… winning at all times is important!
No lesser games, no compromise!
Who is the happier team here, read this statements
That’s the first time a team since New Zealand in 2007 to have chased 300 or more in successive ODIs.
Sri Lanka may have lost the series, but they will be thrilled with the performance of several of their young batsmen. Chandimal has made big strides this series, and Thiriamanne showed off his cool temperament today, with a maiden half-century when the pressure was on.
South Africa, on the other hand, haven’t learnt much about their next generation of batsmen. Again it was the big boys who scored most of the runs – Ingram didn’t get too much of a chance, du Plessis shone in one game, Petersen didn’t make the most of two games at the top. South Africa also need to sort out who their death bowlers are – they lost their head in Kimberley, and today it wasn’t exactly top bowling which got the wickets.
309 @ Just For Kicks:
Fark, you have the same problems I have… why do the women enjoy that kak on TV?
@ grootblousmile:
like i said i hate it, and i wont ever support it. I just wondered if PK did read Jakes biography.
My MOM sou AB wees, seker maar net n nice gebaar deur SA.
Man of the Match is Kumar Sangakkara.
313 @ superBul:
Jeeez, I hope PK (Gazza) did not read Jake’s book…. if he did he needs a PK… hahaha
Wonder what type of book Snor will bring out… maybe an illustrated comic book, or a coffee table book of jokes.
Title: Snor – Ek’s poer in my moer
312@ grootblousmile:Who knows, it’s in their genes, I think
317 @ Just For Kicks:
Maybe it’s in their Jeans… hehehe
Must be a hormonal imbalance…
318@ grootblousmile:originally wrote jeans and then changed it! But what a dreadful program, I don’t know why it is so popular
319 @ Just For Kicks:
I think I hate Simply Come Dancing more than Egoli, Binnelanders, Sewendelaan and all Chick Flieks!
OK, I’m going to make like Donald now… and duck.
Quack-quack!
Gooooooooi Mieliessssssssssss!
320@ grootblousmile:I only watch Sports Channels, News and discovery, all the rest is rubbish. The worst of all, is a have to pay a full dstv subscription for the channels I want!
Man of the Series is AB de Villiers. “things have been going my way, delighted with my form at the moment. I thought the boys did really well. Biff did extremely well, I told the press that he was going to come through, and I’m very happy for my man. There’s a lot to work on for us, but an happy with the way the boys fought till the end. Every ground supported us really well this series.”
AB gets the series trophy and pops the champagne with the rest of the team.
322 @ Just For Kicks:
Same here… Sports Channels, Discovery, History… maybe Travel Channel… and a GOOOOD Movie every now and again.
