Hopefully there will be a result in this match.
 
If the pitch at Kensington oval is anything like it was at the World 20/20 then we can expect a result. Hopefully in favor of West Indies.
 
I checked it out. In the previous Test that played on Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados England scored 600-6 and 279-2 and West Indies 749-9. But before this Test there were 7 Tests played at this ground where there was a result. So I am expecting a result now also.

Yeah that test match was way too horrible for the bowlers.:(

So the likes of Steyn and Morkel would be vary of that pitch and prepare accordingly :)
 
This is a big surprise. Harris isn't playing. Instead of him Botha is playing and he immediately took 4 wickets. If I knew Botha would play he would have been in my team.

Hashim Amla didn't do much again. And it looks it's now there a bowling pitch. This time I chose a captain, because I was thinking he would gain many runs.

Wait, now I see that Harris is actually playing, but South Africa is playing with two spinners and two bowlers.

I see also that Steyn suddenly got three wickets, where in the previous match, when I had him as captain, only took one wicket.
 
Pascal is out injured, with Bess replacing him. I wouldn't think many people would have Pascal in their team though.
 
Whatever happens, there will be a result from this match.

The captains are divided like this:

Jacques Kallis: 10
Graeme Smith: 1
Shivnarine Chanderpaul: 1
AB de Villiers: 4
Hashim Amla: 1
Chris Gayle: 1

I've got Kallis as captain, so it's important that he performs, but also my other players, which not many people have. That means also the other players, who have been assigned as captain, have to fail.
 
There are only 3 West Indian wickets left.

I am hoping that Kallis will grab some wickets before the end of West Indian innings. Then I would like to see a duck for Smith and Petersen, so Kallis can get the remaining runs. Or Amla could do, because I got him in my team as well.
 
This pretty annoying. South Africa won the Test match, but Roach got in the end three wickets, while the target was only 47 runs.

Kallis didn't score any run from the 15 balls he faced.
 
Only if I had Botha and Benn instead of Parnell and McLaren, I could've been on the top easily.:facepalm
 
This is Infuriating !!!! :mad:
i trusted this CRICINFO site that it would be belter of a pitch so i placed my bets on a draw and also did not have steyn as captain......:facepalm
But look now the match is over after 4 days and steyn takes 6 wickets.....:eek:
 
Your trusted cricinfo even after all the stuff that me and ZZ said and all the info he posted about the pitch and results.
This was a perfect test wicket except West Indies couldn't offer any resistance.
 
If someone could score this...........
 
Hey whats that mate ???? The points table yet to be done and the status has been given as completed. Please score our teams mate :(
