Wonder why Kallis doesn't bat like this normally in other limited overs cricket. It's not like he's taking risks or anything, just drilling the ball with proper shots and getting a SR easily over 100.

It's a learning process, he's working on himself and getting better by the match.

Would be an interesting stat to see how many wickets a spinner has taken vs fast bowlers in this WC.

Yeah, good cricket. Kinda relies on the bowlers giving him drivable balls though. There aren't many "proper" shots to play to a good ball, but against the top teams in T20 you generally have to score off the good ones.

Shot selection and execution when attacking spinners has been poor for the most part.

Poor last couple of overs. Should have been looking at 190 min, now be lucky to get 180.

Field restrictions help his cause but his S/R in the last 12/18 months is over 80. Had a very good series against Aus.

Ffs!!!

Parnell. And that should be game and South Africa into the S/F.

Poor start for the Windies here. In theory though, can't three teams still finish on two wins? It would then get down to NRR.

 

[TT Boy]

Awful over from Kallis. Just what the Windies needed to get going.

Get the spinners on.

 

[Uppercut]

Need 10 an over though.

Kallis seems to be a bit all or nothing with his bowling.

 

[Briony]

They can do it if they keep wickets intact for the next eight or so overs and Bravo fires.

 

[TT Boy]

Can't see the two spinners going for that but someone else has to chip in with some (decent) overs.

**** start from Albie.

 

[TT Boy]

JP might have turn his arm over. Third seamer will be an issue on such a true surface, you can just hit through the line with ease.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

How was that not a wide?

 

[Briony]

It's on these sort of pitches where Kallis and Albertus's bowing becomes an issue.

 

[Uppercut]

How was that not a wide?

Simmons was playing left-handed. Don't think umpires should call the wide when which side is the leg side is so ambiguous.

 

[TT Boy]

**** sake Albie.

All was well before I woke the Mocker Gods.

 

[Briony]

At least SA has two more overs each from its frontline quicks. Botha's first over went for more than normal but Kallis got them back in the game essentially.
