SA vs Windies 2nd ODI @ Newlands

[thetitan]

Historically, D/N games at this ground are hugely in favour of the side batting first, I'm large on SA at 1.52, 23/2 now, anybody else playing?

well done at getting such a high price, I wish i'd waited till after the first few overs!

I backed SA at the start, 1.28 and 1.33.

they struggled a bit ealry on but once West Indies used up most of the overs on their top 2 batsman and had to bring in the backup they fell apart and gave away way too much. Rampaul especially had a shocker! an average of 11 an over from his 3 overs.

I also backed 250 at 1.5 but I bet I could have got a nice price on that had I waited till 10-20 minutes into the game!

don't see West Indies getting close but thoguht SA would have been a bit closer to 275 after seeing the way de villiers and Smith attacked them once they got going.

47/1 after 14 overs, chattergoon looking decent...dont fancy WI under lights at this ground, Saffers bowling is far too strong, let alone chasing 6 per over. To be honest, I dont think that some of the WI bats are too concerned about the run rate, I reckon they're more intent on keeping their place in the side.

I was quite lucky to get 1.5+, for once I got it right!

169 all out, writing was on the wall when WI lost the toss to be fair.

a good win for saffers though, 5-0 is a real possibility.
