[DRAGONZ]

South Africa going at over 8 runs an over in reply.

1/129 after 16 .. Gibbs 59* (53) and Smith 55* (38) playing well.

Gilchrist dropped Gibbs off Lewis's bowling about fifteen minutes back. How much will it cost us?

I hear the atmosphere is crazy over there .. wish I had Foxtel

And by the way, CONGRATULATIONS TO AUSTRALIA FOR THE WORLD RECORD. It was simply awesome. If this game comes out on DVD or something, I am SO buying it!

What a great match to watch.

Yeah...wish I had Fox too..

omg, if Gibbs stays in, SA will win..

 

[DRAGONZ]

South Africa require another 80 runs with 5 wickets and 48 balls remaining


South Africa 355/5 (42.0 ov)

MV Boucher 23* (26)
JM Kemp 13* (16)



Gibbs scored 175 (111). So Ponting played the best ever ODI innings, and I reckon he was usurped by Gibbs' gem of an innings.

Smith 90 (55) didn't play poorly either.

 

[DRAGONZ]

Bracken just got Kemp out.

Why the fuck isn't he on the Test team?!

In this match, he has 3/36 (6.1) .. the only bowler in the match with an economy below a run a ball!

The current selectors are the worst probably ever assigned the job in Australian cricketing history.

 

[BumJockey Bill]

Fuck this shit
Their playing on concrete
Pitches like this fuck up the game and stats.

 

[Minai]

Why the hell is Mick Lewis playing ODI's....

 

[BumJockey Bill]

Need to keep the victorians happy.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

ytf lewis... give clark a go... guess it could b worse, like dorey or johnson


redit:
BRACKEN!!!!!!!

 

[Phanatical]

Both teams over 400 now. If only it weren't on pay TV...

 

[BumJockey Bill]

Doesn't matter who's bowling any bowler will get spanked on this pitch.

 

[Minai]

mmm..worst selector's decision..drop Bracken for Clark in the tests, good job

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

WHY IS LEWIS STILL BOWLING? WHY IS PONTING THE CAPTAIN? (legend of a batsman tho)

 

[Minai]

from cricinfo.com:

47.2 Lewis to Boucher, 2 runs, full delivery, Boucher driving back to the bowler, hard chance, rebounds for two, repeat why is Lewis bowling
47.1 Lewis to Boucher, FOUR, full delivery, Boucher lofting over mid wicket, why is Lewis bowling????

 

[BumJockey Bill]

RECORD


Congratulations Lewis you fucking champion

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

god bracken the 1 man bowling attack.

[Minai]

Bracken gets 5 wickets under ENOURMOUS pressure

[BumJockey Bill]

Who will bowl the final over?

 

[Minai]

After getting 434, Australia have to defend 7 off 6..
