Re: Ban v WI, T20 WC, Johannesburg, 13th September

What's the point in having your fast man targeting the ribs of the batsman without a fielder within 70 yards square or behind on the leg side?

When we go to pieces we really go the whole hog. This is unbeleivable.

T20 is a raffle . . . anyone can have a few good overs and win . . . maybe even the poms

by Henry Nolonga Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:30

Sounds like a really good knock from Ashraful. Hopefully, they'll show highlights of this when i get home.

by tac Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:34

The Banagrs have been very clever . . .just milking Gayle for singles and having a dash at the quicks, knowing that an edge is pretty much four runs

by Invader Zim Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:36

Looks like the Bangers have this one in the bag...could be a Zimmer/Banger final.

by Gary 111 Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:37

This is when Edwards should be bowling yorkers.

But now he's started bowling length balls.

Lack of discipline and planning in the bowling, and shoddy fielding. If they'd taken catches (which wouldn't be classed as difficult at club level) they'd have won on Tuesday and probably be winning today.

Man, this has been some knock by Ashraful. He is one clean little striker.

At this rate Aus and WI will be gone, leaving Zim and Bangers in their place. Who'da thunk it?

by WIFAN Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:39

Where are the spinners? Gayle is going at 5 runs per over.

Everyone else is getting smacked.

Sarwan appears to have left his brains in Guyana.

Still, fair play to Ashraful he is kicking arse.

I don't think anyone really cared that much to consider the possibility . . .

Aye. Bennett King must be tearing his hair out with the fact that he cannot get the swaggerers to get the basics of the game right.

by Gary 111 Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:40

Commentator saying there's something of Gavaskar in Aftad Ahmed's batting. Must be something to do with the 20 dot balls in his innings so far because Gavaskar never batted anything like this...

Nice woof. He's out.

by skully Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:41

Hehehe. Gary's fine form continues.

by Invader Zim Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:43

24 from 30...should be a pissa with 7 wickets in hand.

by Gary 111 Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:44

I called for Ronny a bit earlier, but its probably a bit late now. Too many mediocre medium pacers being bowled by WI, when they've got plenty of pace and spin options.

Bravo: 1-0-18-0 today and 2.4-0-39-0 vs SA
Dwayne Smith: 2-0-37-0 vs SA

Meh, other Aussies have noted their indifference, but not me. I don't care if it's french cricket, I still look for Aus to do their best (which, clearly, earlier this morning was not).

6 runs to win...4 overs to go.

by doctorspin Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:50

Nothing wrong with the WI catching when the game is all but lost.

by Gary 111 Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:51

And Bravo goes for another 16.

Its a crime bowling him when Powell, Edwards and Rampaul have overs left unbowled.

Now Ronny takes another wicket, but because of all the runs Bravo has leaked its far too late to make a dfference...

by WIFAN Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:52

tbf we have bowled and fielded with no common sense, we deserve to lose.

Im a bit miffed that the pitch suited the bangle bowlers so much, but thats life, we didnt adapt.

Good luck to the bangles in the next round.

I'm now definitely in the 20-20 is rubbish camp. Who needs it? Smile

by Invader Zim Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:52

3 to win off 3 overs..

by skully Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:54

Top little knock from Aftab as well. If nothing else, the success of the minnows in theis tournament has to (as Ian Bishop says) add momentum to their development.

[Awaits Bangers next woeful Test performance (sigh)]

by doctorspin Thu 13 Sep 2007, 12:54

WI now turn to blinding fielders mode...with 3 runs off 18 required....FFS

That's because they play Test cricket in exactly the same fashion.
