Jammy wicket for South Africa. They should be allowed at least one review per innings.

[PaulWinch again]

Blame the Indian cricket authorities for that.

Looks like South Africa have got out of jail.

The Netherlands are being a bit naive here, when they lost Myburgh he'd already put them in control, they just needed to make sure they batted out, hopefully they'll see it through but it looks like it'll be closer than it should've been.

[cdbearsfan]

Bugger.

[PaulWinch again]

After the position they got themselves in that was poor from the Netherlands.

I did worry they'd run out of wickets, they were silly after Myburgh went, the 3rd wicket just after him was incredibly unlucky by the sound of it, but a lot of the rest was down to poor shot selection and trying to score from balls they didn't have to, or in 1 case sneak a run that wasn't on and wasn't needed.  Even with all the wickets and the tail in if they'd have got to 20 overs they'd have won after the first performance for the first 6.

[PaulWinch again]

I do think we're going to require a hell of a lot of fortune today.

[PaulWinch again]

Sounds like we got lucky with one and not so lucky with the other.

[PaulWinch again]

Dernbach drops Jayawardene which could kill us.

[Colhint]

2 -1 to them

[Colhint]

3-1 to them

[PaulWinch again]

Dropping Jayawardene is proving very costly. They've got so many wickets here they can launch a massive assault in the second half of the innings.

[Colhint]

yup

[Colhint]

bloody hell
