I think it's just class from gayle. If a guys gonna go do that no a lot can stop it. Their rate would have put on a massive score if over full 20.
NZ v Aus The way the NZ spinners are performing makes me worry for England as we lack a true quality spinner at the moment. Play the Jaffas at 2pm, need a win or will be extremely difficult to qualify.
it is interesting. bowling at 20/20 level has to be precise to deny easy 4s and 6s. guys actually have to go hard at spin to whack it for 6 so it does make it a bit of a risk.
yup.. totally classic. always set the score unless you know something. we've just handed the game to them South Africa captain Faf du Plessis: "To be honest I wasn't sure [what to do at the toss]. There are benefits to both - the ball swings a little bit later at night but there's dew as well. The IPL experience helps a lot - Indian conditions aren't foreign to us any more. It's a nice-paced wicket so we're playing the extra pace bowler." England captain Eoin Morgan: "We're going to bowl first. It's been evident the two games we've played here that in the evening the dew kicks in and the ball slides onto the bat a bit better, hopefully it will do the same tonight. "In the game against West Indies we did things right but we caught Chris Gayle on a night when he was outstanding, and that's hard to stop." so bascially england surrendered the initivative to get a dewy ball that apparantly is harder to catch and come so nto the ball. But they then bowl and give SA a potentially world record score to have to chase... nice. couple of wickets just now though and de villier and de kock are gone. 114/2 off 9 chasing 210-250 here.....
is this possible? Sri Lanka 260/6 20.0 v Kenya 14 Sep 2007 Certainly seems 200+ 215 is top 10 scores of all time world 20-20
This will be one hell of a run chase if we do it. If not, we're out after only 2 games I feel. SA could be on for about 220 here
Dropped catch.. Hales missing a dolly stop and letting it go for 4.... BUTLER NOW JUAT LER 2 soft byes go through.... Fielding has been just as bad as the bowling!
