101 @ Just For Kicks:
Hello Mud Island dweller!
@ Just For Kicks:
Exactly, all he had to do was play straight, and he does not have to hit a boundary with every ball
De Kock hits straight over long off and it’s 4
De Kock still looks very young… just off the nappies
And Good evening JFK
Pooms must be grabbing a granny or something 😆
11 off the 7th over
SA 57 / 2 after 7 overs, need only 30 more
SA 65 / 2 after 10 overs, need 22 more runs
4 by Faf off the 1st ball of the 11th over, then a single
Faf is reading the pitch well, thus not silly shots by him
SA 74 / 2 after 11 overs
SA need 4 runs from 50 balls… hehehehe
Almost the end of the 12th over
85 / 2 after 12 overs
