WI A 46/0 at the close ….

Tage 27* McCaskie 17*…

Good controlled bowling by Seales.

I only managed to see seales first three overs of the day, but I have to say I was impressed. He didn’t take a wicket in those three overs but could easily have picked up a couple.

He was zipping the ball around off the seam both ways and beat the bat pretty regularly. I’m glad he ended up picking up three wickets. It’s good to see him getting back to form because recently I’ve been quite disappointed and worried about his form and lack of wickets.

In reply to robbo

Totally agree!! I hope that both Seales and Alzharri hit their straps CONSISTENTLY when they get to Ozzieland.

In reply to robbo

I thought he was the best bowler on show and definitely can't wait to see him playing test cricket,he should have got 5 instead of 3 wkts.i am not sure why de Silva bowled K.Hodge for 9 or 10 overs,he never looked like getting a wicket,maybe in our regional cricket he can but outside of the Caribbean he will only give batsmen sighters.

Seales like Keemo is definitely better with the red ball than with the white ball. I would not pressure either of them to play too much white ball cricket.

In reply to PalsofMine

I think it was good for Seales as well because he hasn't played red ball in almost a year.

He's signed for Sussex as well so he's going to be playing plenty of fc cricket over the next 12 months.

Poor captaincy... bringing Spinner...Hodge....14 runs ...

Lewis has bowled just 11 overs...

In reply to ray

And yuh have peeps here thinking the IPL matches are clean.

Poor umpiring - nuff decisions went against us

250 all out

WI need 224
Good bowling Akeem

We have about nine overs to face

11 overs to go

If jordan could get more pace he could be a real wicket taker for the wi moves the ball both ways and can hold a bat

Really like the captaincy of Josh. Putting honesty and integrity above all else is very humbling and it is in line with true Windies style especially in the glory years.
Watched the game today and from what I could see this group are very much up for the battle and have a very solid team ethic.
This is not by any means a poor SA squad as they are all fighting for a place in the test squad for the upcoming tour of NZ. Missing some front line players due to t20 contracts
Well done boys and some real red ball talent on display especially in the pace bowling.

In reply to Conorboy

I hope to look at a bit of the day's play tonight on Youtube but based on what you say about Josh's captaincy, plus Aljo's aggression in Super50 and Young's leadership from in front in WIA, we seem to have some good young leadership potential in the region. That is very heartening.

In reply to velo

Forget about getting more pace but work on moving the ball around and he will eventually be a top allrounder.

Thus far the creditable performances have been from:

Two pacers: Seales
Jordan

Spinner: Sinclair

Two batsmen: Chanderpaul
Hodge

Now for some CONSISTENCY!!!

Disappointed thus far by McAllister…pace seems to be down on a responsive wicket.

In reply to mikelegend
Now to see who can play spin for a full day.
This is gettable but…hope they get the runs.

In reply to Chrissy

Captain’s knock from DaSilva is crucial. Along with repeat solid batting performance from Hodge and Chanders, should see them over the line

Top order batters have to score bulk of runs.....Tage, McKenzie, McCaskie et al.....One of top 3 score century.......win comprehensively...We can...We surely will!!!!!

Early demise of McCaskie.....oops!!!

McKenzie needs to prove me wrong.

Big loud stewwwps

Sa batsmen average in their 40 s at first class level and wi batsmen average in their early 30s and 20s on flat pitches .if they win a match on this tour i would be happy but im not holding out hope.

Di entire team is playing spin like di former director of cricket.
This is pathetic

91 to win- three wickets

at least they were competitive for 3 days. This is a prime example of lack of winning. They just do not know how to go about gaining a victory when they are on top unless the other side implodes, which does not happen regularly in international cricket. Unfortunately that is where at least one experienced player may have helped the A team but we now understand that the Selectors want to give youths guns and send them into battle.

Well played Sinclair to pilot the win;sensible and responsible innings.
See you soon in the Test team.
Congrats A team

I want to see Kevin Sinclair in the test squad.

In reply to Narper

.....we can.....we did.... congratulations to all the players and management.....this win has come after several years.....senior team won under Gayle.....2009...14 years ....

kept my mouth shut cause I was afraid if I said something

In reply to hubert

Sinclair makes runs ...takes wickets....fighting to the end.

Great match! Scrapping for singles. Learn the game West Indies batsmen. Kevin Sinclair is a very competent and composed player with solid technique.

In reply to netgrouchy

Mac was not out when the W came? WTF following the thread it sounded like Sinclair was batting at both ends

Goosebumps Moments!

Fantastic win. When last have we won anything at all in South Africa??? Congrats to the A Team. Really proud of you guys.

In reply to positiveg

We may have broken at least 1 Goat Mouth curse - praises!

Well Done!!!

In reply to Narper

Now Dessie's call for young players will be praised by his supporters

Very nice. Getting accustomed to winning is important

In reply to jacksparrow

and winning in that particular way shows real character.

We won!!!! Yesssssss!!!!! HOWEVER…it should not have been so difficult. Keep fighting Sinclair!

In reply to Narper
I turned everything off at tea, to see this thread it is a delight to read of the fight.
Over 100 runs were needed, and the Commie said Akeen Jordan and Kevin Sinclair were the last recognized pair, well so many fans on the broadcast site are shocked, and so am I.

I confess I didn't expect a win

We won. Pleasantly surprised. Congratulations.

In reply to hubert

He really got a good batting head this aint' the first time I've seen him put his head down and bat
Want to see more of it coming
