South Africa are batting and after 4 overs, are 4/1.

de Villiers is the man out, and for a duck at that.


EDIT: 27 after 7 now actually.
 
29.6 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, He has done it! One-day record. No one has hit six sixes in a row. GIbbs stands alone in that zone. And the minnow bashing continues! Full and outside off and bludgeoned over long off
29.5 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Short in length, on the off stump line and Gibbs rocks back and swat-pulls it over wide long off. SImply amazing. What a batsman. This is pure violence!
29.4 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Wah Wah! Low full toss and guess where this went Yep. A slap slog and it went over deep midwicket! He is going to go for 6 sixes in this over!
29.3 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Carnage! Flatter one this time but it makes no difference to Gibbs. He just stands there and delivers. This one also has been sucked over long off
29.2 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Murder! Floated on the leg and middle stump line and Gibbs sends it soaring over long-off.
29.1 van Bunge to Gibbs, SIX, Violence! Gibbs charged down the track and hoicked it over long on.


fecknig hell.
 
83 of the last five overs..:eek:

This is like Stick Cricket
 
175 in last 11 overs

If they're going to have all these shit teams, they should just not bother with the warm-up games
 
what is the fecking point of playing these fecking minnows, I ask again... other than making cricket records and stats meaningless???

The record book will say that Gibbs hit 6 in an over, but is that really a valid record? is it feck!

The theory is to try and raise them up to the level of the established nations, like Italy in the Six Nations you might say.

Kenya really showed some promise in the last World Cup, they'll make the step up in time.

I do take your point though, and as for records, Boucher also notched up the fasted ever 50 didn't' he?
 
The qualifying rounds are turning the WC into a farce...never mind spreading the cricket gospel, this format is probably turning genuine fans off.

The WC is too long and tedious with many pointless matches.
 
They should have a mini WC for these teams and maybe the winner gets to play with the big boys or something. But they won't do it because they won't generate enough money out of it.

Yeap, real WC starts for me with super eights
