not good...for cricket...
Toss South Africa have won and chosen to bat. It's a dead batting wicket, so they say. It must have been a simple decision to chose to bat. South Africa are unchanged while Kemar Roach has replaced Pascal for West Indies.
The drizzle gets heavier and they go off the field There was some concern about the ball condition as well. Gayle and co didn't look too happy. Asad Rauf walked across to have a chat with Taufel and decided let's go back to the hutch.
the man who prayed for rain got his wish..at least temporarily. any amount of time and a westindian defeat is assured, dead wicket or not.
this is a waste! I just checked in 165/1...thats at least 500 by tomorrow tea if the rain eases up.
the one thing in westindies favour is the ineptitude and plan idiosyncrasy of the saffies. yu never can tell what dem addle-brained idiots will do...like the morning of the first test, when they over 350 runs ahead deh lose their way scoring slow, slow, slow...with a ton of wickets in hand!
the saffies are a stupid side, a pompus side ... that Lloyd and Richards would have beaten out of the water...but this westindies side cant take advantage of it!
