Dont bank on it just yet, south africa are known to chase down just about anything. Those two sixes in the last over were rediculous!

SA are riding their luck at the moment. But its pretty typical that whenever we mishit the ball, it goes straight to a fielder. But when the other team miss hit or miss time a shot, it lands safe! Never mind - whatever happens, at least we posted a decent total for a change!!!

Why have they gone back to Mahmood, he was rubbish a few years back and looks the same now!

Did well in the FP and Pro40 this year. Was the form pick.

yeah he was good in the FP and the pro40 , but theres a big difference between county and international level..
Title: Re: 1st T20 v SA
Post by: Marcussjd9 on November 14, 2009, 01:12:06 PM
Yeah but if you don't pick the best bowler at county level, who do you pick instead? the 2nd best?

can i just say - when i was watching morgan yesterday i was thinking how cleanly he hits the ball, for me when he gets going like that, there are few batsmen who time the ball as well as he does......lets just hope he continues to progress!

yeah i see what your saying marcus! and i agree shilly - havent seen anyone hit the ball that cleanly for a while !
Title: Re: 1st T20 v SA
Post by: GJ on November 14, 2009, 01:43:03 PM
He's a huge talent and yeah he was striking the ball so cleanly. Hit Dale Steyn out the ground :o

I had my doubts over him but the last few games he has been amazing! That was just a brilliant knock and those sixes were MASSIVE!! Think the faith shown by selectors has paid off.

well we are getting absolutley murdered right now........smith and bosman are going mental.......210-220 if they keep this up....maybe more!

300?
Title: Re: 1st T20 v SA
Post by: petehosk on November 15, 2009, 01:19:34 PM
250 at least.
Why do England keeep bowling too short at them?
Is it me, or would you think that after almost 10 overs of total f@*&off carnage, that they would realise that they are bowling too short?
Title: Re: 1st T20 v SA
Post by: GJ on November 15, 2009, 01:28:47 PM
To be honest they arent bowling that badly, Smith and Bosman are just seeing it like a beachball.

I feel sorry for Alisair Cook more than anyone, been thrown into this in your first go at captaincy.

bowling isnt anything special, batting is - but i suppose this is a much smaller ground than centurion so inevitably a higher score is on the cards!

My 80 year old granddad from Sussex actually just said "why bowl so short ? 11 overs of the same sh*t ! surely they must of got the point by now ? get jimmy back on and AIM AT SMITH" HAHAH, legend !
