South Africa in West Indies

[Maxkarter]

Pollocks' over rate was slow too, I wonder if they'll warn him. de Villiers out.

 

[sohum]

He'll probably just get a warning. Did the Windies get bowled out, because I think then the over rate doesn't matter. A fine/suspension is only made when a team offends a second or third time. Dippenaar just out. I liked the way Nel ran, bowled and then ran back to improve over-rate.

Another interesting, but disappointing, outcome of the fines/suspension is the bowlers appealing for everything, from everything to the most obvious catches. This is a sad thing. Bowlers, while taking their wickets, have at the back of the mind the thought that they cannot celebrate immediately. As a few of the commentators on the game also said, Langeveldt got a hat-trick and the ICC responded by fining him.

excellent win for SA

 

[cheaterr]

For the next match, I bet 100 on WI and 900 on SAF. I think SAF will win, but just incase they dont I wont lose everything you know.

 

[gamerkid22]

hurray SA are on for a 5-0 whitewash.

 

[Maxkarter]

Well if you didn't know rain is delaying play, Umpire Darryl Hair mentioned the a 20 over game might be played. What do you think?

 

[The Champ]

i think we may get some play but if the match is abandoned will we get back the pts we kept on vbookie

 

[sohum]

If the match is abandoned you do get your points back. The marquee on Ten Sports says that:

"South Africa and West Indies will play a 20-over match commencing at 18:15 GMT". That's about 25 minutes away.

'Twenty20 Game' with Windies batting first.

As you all know I never like to be pedantic, but this isn't technically a Twenty20 game, it's a one day game reduced to 20 overs a side.

 

[cheaterr]

Exactly, the stats that come from this match for the players will go under the One Day International section of their profile, not the Twenty20 section.

Correct me if I am wrong but didnt you have to be able to play 25 overs each side for it to be called a full international?

The ICC changed it to 20 just over a year ago.
