you would think they'll need 180 to have a chance?

by JKLever Sat 05 Jan 2008, 12:53

lead now 150

by doctorspin Sat 05 Jan 2008, 12:58

157 now.

Gayle seems to have settled down now so this is now a potentially proper partnership between proper batsmen.

by doremi Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:06

Go above 200 and we have a game on our hands.

by JGK Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:07

The Saffies are getting pissed off. How funny was Nel having a go at Gayle to "hit the farking ball" after leaving one even though he had just hit him for 14 runs off 3 balls.

Now 4 byes after some sloppy keeping.

166 the lead.

by doctorspin Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:11

6 from Chanders now takes him to 70

by JKLever Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:14

Good comeback in that over

Lead 172 now....

Pair of 6s from Gayle.

While I am a cricket purist, I have to say that I do enjoy it when Gayle is at the crease.

by JGK Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:16

Now Gayle is out caught on the boundary.

Target is 185.

by JKLever Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:16

Boyks laying into the saffies

by doctorspin Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:16

Gayle send 2 successive Steyn deliveries into orbit!!!!

But now he is GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!

185 to win I think

by JKLever Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:18

Not enough but something to bowl at I guess.

Shouldn't everyone? I thought it was the rule.

Probably not enough at all, but a couple of early ones and the CH*K* spectre begins to loom.

I wish Gayle had just held back a little bit more and nudged it over 200.

by Chivalry Augustus Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:20

Be interesting to see if Steyn bats with a runner, should the Windies get that far. I thought it was disgustingly bad sportsmanship, tbh.

by chris j. Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:20

Foul-mouth Steyn is at it now, or was.

Steyn, Nel, Smith, Kallis at times not very likeable at all. Ntini, Pollock are likeable though.

Gutted when Gayle got out, 250 would have been a real tough ask.

Legend.

DAYYAAMM Gayle can hit the ball!

WIndies have a great chance to win the series if they can bowl well, even if they'd have liked a few runs more ideally. Any of the bowlers injured?

by JKLever Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:27

yeah, Edwards is crocked.

Meaning they don't have enough power in the attack

by doremi Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:29

They should bowl Samuels a bit more in the 5th day pitch.

by JGK Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:50

Good start from the Saffies - that should settle the nerves.

by JGK Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:51

I don't suppose there is any chance that Rawl Lewis could bowl them to victory.

Agreed, similar to what I said earlier in the thread. ICC should look into it.

by Geoffrey Trueman Sat 05 Jan 2008, 13:58

'what an extraordinarily stupid shot'

Boycs at his best.

by doctorspin Sat 05 Jan 2008, 14:04

FARK!!! Samuels drops Captain Fantastic at point.
