Paul Watson

*sigh* SA, 45/3 after 10 overs. This is just embarassing...

G Smith is til there, I think he'll save the day by getting a ton :-) ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff

nah, looks like they've steadied the ship now. This is a very good knock by Smith and Dippenar so far. Give those selectors something to think about :-) ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff

207/6 They will get around 230. But they must dismiss Canada for less than 100 or 50 runs if they need a better run-rate. Things might get interesting if it rains.

254 all out. Great score considering the bad start. I think they have too much fire power in their bowling attack for Canada. I'll be VERY surprised if Canada get above 100. Hell I'll be surprised if they make it to the 30th over. ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff

You have managed to come back pretty well, and the Canada team will be out before they can spell batting. :-D But give them some credit too for getting your guys out 45/3. :)

Gibbs and Kirsten are not that bad, so obviously Canada bowled some damned good balls. I was just horrified.

Run rate has become so important in this world cup for the super six stage.

Now SA has a pretty good chance of making it to the Super Six. maybe they can pull off a Pakistan which barely qualified in 1992 but went on to lift the cup. It would be a shame though, if they do not qualify. I think SA is one of the best teams today (after the Aussies). Pankaj Without struggle, there is no progress
