3rd ODI: South Africa v West Indies Jan 21st

Hey Ketch ...... Lawd another beat dung !!!

Deo and Carlos for  Leon and Scammy ! 

Who manages this XI ???  :-\

43 - 4

12.3  Steyn to Ramdin, OUT, full length just outside off, Ramdin pokes at it and drags it on!

D Ramdin  b Steyn 2

Darn ... :-[ embarrassed to be a WI supporter these days ... so I'm long done wid dis !! ..... Got a new team  ;D

Comm said Marlon doesn't want to be 'becalmed'

becalmed = sailing ship unable to move because of no wind in the sails

LOL .... heard this yesterday on a TV quiz show

59 - 5 after 20 overs

19.6
Duminy to Russell, 1 run, dropped, but it would have been a wonderful catch.

It was full outside leg, he played a paddle sweep and got a top edge towards short fine leg.

Steyn is quite wide in that position but flung himself full stretch to his right

and nearly held a blinder !!
 

Total Incompetence....


1. Gayle's ODI average over the past three years is below 20 and worse than Sammy's.

2. Dwayne Smith cant bat in WI colors. He averages in the teens and is our frontline opener.

3. Why put Deo on the team suddenly when he's not on the WC squad?

4. Why drop Leon but not Smith?

5. Is Carlos Brathwaite on the WC squad? Why's he suddenly on this ODI team?

6. This ODI squad has 2 proper bowlers, the rest are all rounders. South Africa have 4 dedicated bowlers.

  83 - 5 after 24


23.5
Imran Tahir to Carter, SIX, good connection! Onto the grass bank at deep midwicket. Full outside off, it was actually a googly so was hitting against the spin but he was fully committed and comfortably cleared the boundary

22.4
Steyn to Russell, FOUR, good response from Steyn, but it costs him another boundary.

  22.3 Steyn to Russell, FOUR, that's dispatched, dragged down short by Steyn, but not a bouncer,

83 - 6

24.2
Morkel to Russell, OUT  heave and a miss! Another West Indies let down by a horrid shot.

Decides to swipe across the line of a length ball which takes the top of leg stump.

Where do these shots come from? What is thought process? 

Russell  b Morkel 16 (25b 2x4 0x6) SR: 64.00
 

86 - 6 at the Half Way mark !
