If only. It's almost halfway through the game, if the Windians can keep this up for another two days and a bit . . .

60.3 Bravo to Nel, OUT, quick strike after lunch, as Nel shimmies across the stumps and clips a fullish ball from middle and off straight to Ganga at mid-on, who takes a simple catch

195/9 Styen and Ntini trying to hang on . . . .

by Invader Zim Fri 28 Dec 2007, 11:25

All out for 195...

by lardbucket Fri 28 Dec 2007, 11:26

excellent

by freddled gruntbuggly Fri 28 Dec 2007, 11:26

. . . with Encore finishing it off.

62.1 Bravo to Steyn, OUT, but not today! Steyn comes dancing down, Bravo sees him and pitches short, Steyn gets under it and gets a top-edge down to fine leg, Ramdin runs after it but its that man Powell who calls for it and takes another well-judged catch to bring out the end of South Africa's innings

So now the West Indies need to make 150-200 ...

by Invader Zim Fri 28 Dec 2007, 11:42

Has been an awesome effort for the windies to be this competitive...

by JGK Fri 28 Dec 2007, 11:49

Wonderful stuff by the Windies and shows up the lack of depth in the Saffie batting when Jackie fails.

by DJ_Smerk Fri 28 Dec 2007, 11:51

I'm actually ecstatic that the Windies are doing well finally.

After this Test Series, they deserve to be higher in the Test Rankings than those Kiwi fellows.

SUPER SIX from Gayle there Bang! Steyn having a mare at the moment!

by Invader Zim Fri 28 Dec 2007, 11:58

6 4 4 0 4 for the first five balls of Skid Mark's over...

by DJ_Smerk Fri 28 Dec 2007, 11:59

4.3 Steyn to Gayle, FOUR, short and wide, rising very tall and Gayle gets airborne, flashing an uppercut safely over the fielders that lands just inside the boundary

4.2 Steyn to Gayle, FOUR, poor ball, a rank full toss outside off stump and Gayle slashes through backward point for four more

4.1 Steyn to Gayle, SIX, good grief, a top-edge goes for six! Steyn steams in and bounces Gayle into a loose shot, the ball following him and flying up off the edge of an angled bat, and Ntini can only go back and back and look on as the ball goes over his head

NINETEEN off that over from Steyn. SAF's new "Hero" going at 9.33 an over. Smith missed a trick by dropping Pollock.

by JGK Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:02

Gayle obviously took a puff of the good stuff before he went out.

by doremi Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:05

Lead by 245.

Gayle needs to calm down. Plenty of time and the WIndies need to set a big target.

by Invader Zim Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:07

Skid Mark bowling rubbish atm...all over the park...

by Invader Zim Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:10

Gayle out...here comes the collapse.

by doremi Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:10

Gayle out.

by DJ_Smerk Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:15

Morton and Ganga need runs. Here we go.

by doremi Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:48

Morton out. Horrid tecjnique.

by Gary 111 Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:51

A Windies wobble - 400 would be an interesting run chase, WI would be favourites but if Kallis makes a score you could see SA getting there.

by JKLever Fri 28 Dec 2007, 12:57

Dujon & Jackman trying to convince the listeners that the likes of Bowden are all part of the game.

BS, give me an official that you dont notice please!

by Red Fri 28 Dec 2007, 13:05

Why is SA so weak these days? Why can't they produce world class batsmen anymore?

by Gary 111 Fri 28 Dec 2007, 13:07

Jacques Kallis: Not only a fecking boring batsman, but a fecking boring bowler as well.

Bowden made the most extraordinary sign for stumps today. Freaky.

He makes fewer mistakes than some on the test panel, but I agree - he is irritating.
