*Official* South Africa in West Indies

Judging from gayle's comments, the matches in Antigua could be last-chance-saloon for some of the WI batsmen....

Loots too honest. Shocking umpiring from Duncan.

Déjà vu from South Africa. 6 overs wasted again. :sleep:

Yeah strange dismissal. Did Smith not realize the keeper had the ball? And as Bishop said, if he hadn't walked, the third umpire would have given him not out.

Two paced wicket, perfect for the likes of McLaren. Windies just about done.

Not great for South Africa as they need a challenge. Changes for the next match, anyone for VDM and Miller to come in at 5. Would keep Lungile.

Lol. Dujon just intimated Botha was a chucker. "I must admit, Tony, that his delivery does look a bit unusual, but with these rules about degrees who can tell one degree from another?"

Looks like 136 is a very good total on this pitch. The Smith-Kallis partnership may well have won the match for SA.

Cozier's a cheeky ****. "Some instructions being given out there in Afrikaans; we heard that quite a bit in the England team in the recent world 2020 tournament too" :laugh:

Nice dismissal there for stats fans. Deonarine stumped off a first ball wide, so bowled out without facing a ball. Top work.

I still think South African XI not 20/20 specialist..
Kallis, Bosman, Dumny..I wouldn't pick them in my 20/20 XI.

Alba Morkle is a must in South African 20/20 and ODI XI for me

We desperately need new blood in the batting lineup in T20 cricket. Sarwan, Shiv and Deonarine should not play this format and we need to try out a new wicket keeper. Enough is enough with Fletcher and Ramdin in this format.

We should take a leaf out of other teams books and start playing more T20 specialists. There is no way that Simmons should ne excluded from this team and someone like William Perkins could not do worse than Fletcher at the top of the order. The selectors should hang their heads in shame tbh.

My Windies T20 team (I accept that some of these players are on tour with the A team):

Chris Gayle
William Perkins
Lendl Simmons
Dwayne Bravo
Darren Bravo (If not I guess we could play Shiv or Sarwan)
Kieron Pollard
Darren Sammy
A Wicket Keeper (Thomas? Walton)
Jerome Taylor
Sulieman Benn
Kemar Roach

Also it was a massive shame to see a wicket like that after all the fantastic cricket in Barbados. The Sir Viv stadium is such an awful cricket venue, I hate it with a passion. God knows what that pitch is going to be like tomorrow in the 2nd innings.

Finally, I would like to mention the umpires who had a woeful time of it even by their dismal standards. They really shouldn't be doing international games. I can't believe Malcolm wasn't put into retirement after failing to spot the head high beamer that Bravo received against Zimbabwe last year.
