WI tour of South Africa

[yuppie]

Effectively 90/4 now.


They need rain.

Is any forecast?

None from the forecasts I've seen.

Windies are going to have to do it the old fashioned way

[yuppie]

SA chasing 150 might get a wobble as well

[Aidan11]

Five down now but if the tail can hang around with Chanderpaul it might get interesting.

[Aidan11]

..or maybe not.

[mikesiva]

It's the same old story...Shiv is left batting with the tail.

[yuppie]

Steyn doing the damage here.

4 wickets left and still a few overs left this evening.

Wonder if WI would be best trying to put a quick 50 on the board and then try to win the match. Maybe get the best of the morning conditions?

[Aidan11]

Looks like Steyn is pumped.

Looks like Steyn is pumped.

He certainly gets alot of swing out of the old ball.

Samuels

That was a poor shot, considering the match situation....

Now, the Windies are in a position where they're fighting to stave off defeat.

[yuppie]

Should Windies bat for as long as possible, or maybe do there best to get as much runs as possible? Maybe try to force a win?

150-200 run lead will ask questions of SA. Cant help but think a new ball first thing in the morning would be the best way to try and force a win.

[Aidan11]

50 for Shiv but another wicket goes down.

[yuppie]

50 for Shiv but another wicket goes down.

Time for Shiv to try and force the scoring. Its a very long tail......

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like Steyn is pumped.

He certainly gets alot of swing out of the old ball.

Is it 'zipping' around?

[yuppie]

Taylor

Second bal, seriously

At this rate, the Windies won't have to "try"...Steyn and Harmer are doing it for them.

In effect, it's 120-8. I just don't put Taylor, Gabriel and Holder in the class of Steyn, Philander and Morkel.
