IM A PROTEAAndre Nel seems to be in good spirits ahead of the clash against the Dutch tomorrow. However the slanging match between the Ozzies and the South Africans brewed up again with Mcgrath saying that the South Africans are chokers and cant handle pressure. Ntini will miss the first game but South Africa should progress easily tomorrow and its about winning the group at this stage and beating the Ozzies for that mental satisfaction
AUSTRAILIA VS SCOTLAND
Not that we expected anything different but the Ozzies were their rutless usual self. People probably percieve these games as a waste but its good for players scoring and getting fine tuned for the World Cup. Like Ponting now for instance. He is on his bicycle and starting to ride.
KENYA VS CANADA
Was Seth playing for Canada. Azee sms'd me last night and asked me if I picked Steve Tikolo in my fantasy team. I told him Watch Kenya. They are going to spring some surprises
West Indies vs PakistanI knew it, The Pakis have shed their thumbprint on the World Cup. I sms'sd Mombhai last night and lambasted him. I watched a bit of the game at Swaar and we had supper with Hash, Hoosain Mayet,Ebie J and a few lads. Hash of course in town for the Pro 20. But the opening game is down and I dont know what to make of it. Il await the response from the Cricketing owes. But Never Underestimate a host Nation. I thought the Pakis fielded terribly and I was expecting West Indies to make about 220.
Lara, Watch him. This will be his swansong. But a match the Paki's should have won. Mombhai your owes will not go far. Theres something lacking in the Paki Outfit. Lets see what happens tonight
why is Hash not playing the fantasy cricket? We need some competition from professionals
ReplyDeletepakistan missed afridi yesterday.their tail was way too long and that explains why inzi and yousuf batted so cautiously. those two realise that they and malik are the only consistent batsmen in this team.good to see the home team win. world cups are always better when the home team does well.long way to go in this tournament though
ReplyDeleteAs I told you yesterday Swoosh, it is still early days...
ReplyDeleteAs an omen... pak had turmoil leading up to WC in 1992, with waqar being a late pullout due to injury and we lost our first game against the Windies by 10 wickets... went on to lift the cup !!
As mentioned, WC is all about peaking at the right time... Pak still need to find the right 11... but there is enough in the squad for them to win it if they play well enough... INZI needs to lead from the front...
Still think Pakis will surpirse you guys.... wealth of experience in the middle order, young talented openers with the oppurtunity to stamp their authority on the tournament, lots of quality spinning all-rounders, and a bowling attack with a point to prove in the absence of the big guns.... if INZI is able to lift the boys spirits and attitudes, all the ingredients are there for a winning combination... winning the WC is all about raising your game at the right time !!
Excuses all the time! pak are shite, without mohamed asif they pathetic!
ReplyDeleteWindies to win the CUP!
LARA IS CLASS! WHAT ABOUT SMITH AND bRAVO SUBLIME!
Noel Kirsten
