West Indies Vs. South Africa first test

[Nikhil]

A good match is going on in Georgetown. Hinds seems be having some serious fun at the expense of the South African bowlers. Only Nel has respectable figures. Look at Kallis' bowling analysis so far:

 Kallis                       8      0     66      0 (1w)

Has to be a good batting pitch. Hope Hinds gets a double century and WI atleast draw the test.

I saw some of the match. It's a very flat deck. Very flat.

The WI haven't got a strong a bowling attack. Which hopefully gives a good chance of saving the match. When it comes to our turn to bat. We live in hope.

200 for Wavell Hinds off only 254 balls!!! What is happening to the South African bowling attack? Kallis 8 - 0 - 66 - 0 and Smith 8 - 0 - 40 - 0 and Ntini 19 - 4 -79 - 0?!? I'm sure no one expected a weakened Windies team to be 369 - 3 after 89 overs!!

Well they should drop Boye for a start Smith should drop down the order and any spin thats needed should be bowled by him.
SA need to bat well. Hopefully the pitch will remain good for the next two days.

I'm with you John , Boje has not done nothing he even looks out of his depth ( I think its time for Paul Harris to get a call up ) , South Africa misses Pollock alot ,


I think this pitch is going to turn and fall apart on days 4/5 and the way I see it is that if Boje does not get atleast 15 or more wickets it the 4 test's his going to get the AXE.

[John]

Yeah I think Boje has had his last chance.
I hope the pitch stays together because if SA go 1-0 down it will be hard work for the rest of the sries.
It looks as if WI will bat today and part tomorrow maybe.

I also hope the pitch stay's together , I think they are looking at a score of 600-700 , 1/0 down with a inefective attackits going to be hard few games
