In reply to Chrissy
Good running, I like the urgency.
OK...here comes my verdict on Mayers.
Mayers is too limited as an opener in T20.
He does not have the ability to meet the ball which is essential in T20.
He camps on the back foot waiting for short balls.
Siiiix fi Charles and now fourrrr
In reply to Courtesy
Not feeling very confident about this match today.
Johnson moves to 40 with four more
In reply to Windiesfan78

A sensible batsman would not have gotten out here. Pooran lacks the bit between the ears.
Brainless.
That's why he should neve have been cappo.
No brains.
Idiotic cricket! Give Charles the strike clown!
Botching it up West Indies, COME ON POWELL, keep the run rate ticking over!

All the three West Indian batters were spotted wearing black armbands at the SuperSport Park today. As was the case with the home team in the third ODI in Potchefstroom on Tuesday, West Indian cricketers are donning black armbands on Sunday to express a tribute and mark of respect towards Brandon Kings uncle Garth King.
While the exact cause of death remains unknown, Windies Cricket confirmed the same via a tweet after the start of their penultimate match of the tour.
20 more needed !!!!

The key to winning this is to get rid of QDK, Markram and Miller cheaply. It is a flat pitch so the bowlers will go for runs.

Heart attack
http://radiojamaicanewsonline.com/sports/former-national-badminton-player-garth-king-is-dead
King, who represented Jamaica for several years and dominated the sport in the 1980's died this morning from a suspected heart attack.
He was 74 years old.
Miller has the fastest T20i century off 35 balls.
In reply to Chrissy
May he rest in peace. I hope that West Indies win this in his memory.

Powell injured
That was crazy...Powell did well to save himself from serious injury
A bit of hold up in play. The physio attends Powell. It is good to see him back on the field.

Holder to Miller, out Caught by Shepherd!! Miller holes out! He hardly fails to finish off games these days and he will be disappointed. A fast off-cutter outside off, Miller lofts it down the ground but hasn't got the required elevation on it. Shepherd at long-off gets low

R Reifer to Markram, 2 runs, a slower length ball, tucked into the gap at deep mid-wicket. Some good running between the wickets allows the batters to come back for the second

R Reifer to Markram, FOUR, another boundary and SA are favourites to win this now! A full ball outside off, Markram carves it over the fielder at backward point and gets the desired result
16.4
R Reifer to Markram, SIX, in the arc, out of the park! Markram shuffles a bit and gets it in his range. He swings through the line and smokes it over long-on for a mammoth maximum

Dis was pure batting lickit - I expected to win dis one given the record score.
Ah well on to lickit Game 3
No shame in this. Our best batting effort in ages. That said,WI are a chasing team. Couldn't expect to cart around SA bowling attack and not be realistic about our bowling chances.

The pitch was at Centurion's best. "Proper" cricket shots were a plenty.
Rovman Powell:
Sometimes you have to put your body through stress and it was an important game. We thought we had enough. Credit has to be given to de Kock and Reeza Hendricks. He took us off to a flier and played exceptional cricket too. Thats very good, the guys are going in the right direction. We have to come back in the final game. We tried to take the pace off, with me and Reifer coming in. It only gets more spicier, it only gets more nicer for the fans.
Quite special. Just he did what Reeza does. It was quite special out there. Just pick the right options, just a bit of hope and that is what we needed. Especially playing at Centurion, there are fast runs to be scored. The ball travels quicky here, we knew that. It is quite a road out there. Quite special, I have been seaching for it for a while. We don't play too much cricket at Centurion but to do that at my home ground was quite special.
Great game to be a part of. We witnessed two very good knocks today and they will be remembered. Even if you bowl good balls, they still travel, sometimes you have to laugh it off. The guys were relaxed. They were saying that it's 10-15 runs short. Credit to the openers for getting us off to a good start. Speaking about the aggressive brand of cricket you need to play, you don't need to slog everything. Reeza showed that. He tells us to back ourselves, and pick our spots. It is going to be an exciting game on Tuesday night, not sure about the conditions but it will be a great game. We appreciate the support from the crowd and we hope they enjoyed the two games.
Every time we score big against them we lose Remember Gayles 1st T20I ton?
Except 92 and when both Shiv and Sir Carl bladed them in 1 match 95 we dont win high scoring white ball games vs RSA. Oh lie Gayle n Marlon won a game too
