    We are doing well. They are good deliveries that are getting the Paksitanis to reach and fish for the ball... They've got very good players out ultra-cheaply. Today's line-up, I feel Pakistan's batting is better than bowling, considering that Afridi is still banned until the next game.

    60/4 after 16, Powerplay 3 is in progress... two maidens in a row. Better bowling.

    LOL, we commented on the big breasted English one in a blue bikini yesterday....there are two irish lads wearing Jamaican bikinis! :D

    68/5 off 19.

    19 wides... take away those, and it would be 49/5. A little bit of indispline, trying too hard.

    I had a feeling Pakistan were there for the taking. We obliterated them in the recent series and exposed their amazing collapsing batting lineup on a few occasions.

    Keep it up boys!

    Edit: Don't forget that Pakistan don't have their first choice bowlers in this tournament.

    Fantastic performance thus far from Botha. Just got a text from a mate of mine; "seriously why isn't Andre Botha in the South Africa squad? he's class."
    Says it all.

    Here he comes again...

    I'll withhold judgement until I see a) what total Pakistan get and b) what Pakistan bowl like.
