Smashed. To be fair, when Gayle gets going he's bloody hard to stop!
 
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.
 
NZ should walk this from here....
45 needed from 5 overs with only 5 wickets left.
 
50-0 off 4 overs with 1 dropped catch...

guess whether we are bowling or batting first <doh>
 
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.....
 
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!
 
Bring fine leg up... Next ball bowl a full toss on guys hip to tuck away for 4 <doh>
 
Well time for England to show what they're made of.

229-4. Gonna be one hell of a run chase.
 
They were 3-0 from the first over.... We are 13-0 from first 3 balls!

Game is ours
