SA vs. India T20 @ Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban

This game is mainly noteworthy because it marks Ntini's farewell international performance and with 50,000 tickets sold will be the biggest attended cricket match ever in Africa. Because it's a soccer stadium the dimensions are unusual with straight boundaries.

Apart from the Aussie grouds and Eden Gardens in Calcutta, will this be the biggest attendance at a cricket match?

They're playing it on a soccer ground? FFS, I didn't think it was possible to cheap a t20, but it seems it is.

You say that like you give a sh!t.

Yeah it's not even big enough to stage a rugby game.

Are the boundaries still worth 4 and 6?

Non it's IPL rules. A 4 and a maximum.

That's DLF Maximum ....

Yeah I knew it was called something or the other. Obviously was a waste of advertising money as I couldn't remember.

What is a Modi maximum? 15 years?

Saffer might make a fist of it. The usual chokers are nursing injuries, bruised ego etc.

Unless you want to buy land in BanIndia then DLF couldnt give a flying farque you forgot who they were

This game reminded one of how costly the decision to go with Ntini in the first two tests against England last summer was. Parnell looked quite sharp. Still think he's a better bet than Tsotsobe as the third seamer who offers something with the bat. Big crowd in.

Predictibly Red is the only forummer who takes a T20 game in a soccer stadium seriously.

You're taking a few observations seriously.

No just pointing out how fatuous your comments are, as per usual.
