The Saffers batte(d) brilli(a)ntly, the(r)e is no doubt about that. The top o(r)d(e)r is fi(n)ally making me smile again.
Although, Ha(s)h's brilli(a)nt batting (m)akes (m)e want to punch the selectors in the face, I am going to put a restraining order on m(y)self. I am just happy that they are winning.
(D)(a)ve Mille(r) (r)(e)mi(n)d(s) me of (a) young AB, although let's not ju(m)p on that bandwagon yet. It's only his first series. I a(m) slightl(y) concerne(d) however, (a)bout what this means for Albie. If Alvi(r)o and Dave a(r)(e) firi(n)g it up, I fear Albie is going to be left out of the squad. Yet, I still have high hopes for that man.
JP ha(s) fin(a)lly been dropped, (m)uch to (m)(y) joy. Shut up, he needs it.
I am mo(d)er(a)tely satisfied with the bowling. They a(r)e bowling innume(r)ous wid(e)s. Maybe the heat is making them halluci(n)ate, maybe I am ju(s)t missing the bigger picture, m(a)ybe I a(m) being too picky. Actually fuck that. Fro(m) two matches, the(y) have 18 wi(d)es comp(a)(r)ed to West Indies' 12. That's an a(r)(e)a of concer(n). Lop(s)y is (a)lso an area of concern. Honey, when you are co(m)peting with Wayne Parnell and Ryan McLaren, I would say what you are doing in this series is (m)aking sure (y)ou never get picke(d), ever (a)gain. Thankfully, Johan Botha in the othe(r) end is b(r)inging a lot of joy in my life. Saff(e)rs may have a spi(n)ner...I can hardly believe it! No, I won't believe it till you come smack me. Easy now, you will have to fly to Canada first.
I can happily overlook the fielding mishap(s) bec(a)use (m)ost of the(m) were made by m(y) favourite Buffalo. Who cares about misfiel(d)s when you c(a)n happily make jokes and stick it into his big chin. I have also just (r)ealized that he can loose as much weight as he wants, his head will (r)(e)mai(n) gigantic. Meaning, more ammo for me. Life is indeed very good and shallow.
But ye(s), despite (a)ll this, let West Indies have this win. Not because that will (m)ake this series interesting and not because SA played a(m)azingly well and then nearl(y) lost it. But because of the man who hit (D)(a)le Steyn fo(r) two consecutive sixes and became a beacon of hope in this so(r)ry ass W(e)st India(n) team. The only man in maroon to believe.
I found it only fitting to put his name all over this post.

If Gayle was serious abt batsmen having their last chance to step up, this will be the beginning of the end for Sarwan.
Wrong does the man who hits Steynveldt for sixes. This utter act of disrespectfulness cannot be tolerated. Is it just me or does Steyner generally battle certain complicacies on the Caribbean wickets?
Also, bos tardis felis est, is there anything more heartwarming in this world? Ok ok it looks scary, but it's still an improved version of the World T20 Fatsmith!
Cheers,

Mock, Gayle is not even serious about himself.
Wes, you know what, you are right. He doesn't do too well against them in ODI's. Hmm...
Lopsy was made to benchwarm for about 5 series. And now he gets a chance when he has lost his form! :(
Dhaval, true but I'm sorry, it's just not working out for him. I doubt he will get a test call ever. Ryan and Parnie are already in. Unless something unforeseen happens to either of them...that's all Lopsy can hope for.
