[Cleavy]

Fox Cricket is showing this. 1st game is 2am AEDT on Thurs 11th Jan

 

[jiphoc]

My loose following of Joburg will continue.

I see Bavuma got picked up this year. Shame. I found him missing out last year hugely entertaining.

 

[NYRB]

Weather in Gqeberha not looking too good for the season opener.

 

[NYRB]

From Cricinfo:

6pm There is a 60-minute buffer period before we start losing overs. That buffer period, though, ends at 6:30pm local time. The latest a five-overs-per-side contest can start is 8:51pm local time.

 

[NYRB]

Game 2:

Teams:

MI Cape Town (Playing XI): Dewald Brevis, Connor Esterhuizen, Rassie van der Dussen, Ryan Rickelton(w), Liam Livingstone, Kieron Pollard(c), Thomas Kaber, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Beuran Hendricks, Olly Stone

Durban Super Giants (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Matthew Breetzke, Nicholas Pooran, Heinrich Klaasen, Wiaan Mulder, Prenelan Subrayen, Dwaine Pretorius, Keemo Paul, Keshav Maharaj(c), Reece Topley, Richard Gleeson

Durban Super Giants have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Rickelton looks set for a ton here, 79 not out off 44 balls

Make that 83 off 45 balls here in Game 2.

I jinxed Rickelton, has to depart for 87.

 

[NYRB]

MI Cape Town post 207/5 against Durban

chase to come.

 

[NYRB]

Beautiful shot and De Kock is underway in Durban. Home crowd love that .

 

[NYRB]

Which De Kock will we see? The BBL13 Melbourne Renegades version or the South Africa World Cup 2023 version?

Which De Kock will we see? The BBL13 Melbourne Renegades version or the South Africa World Cup 2023 version?

Gone!


Its the Melbourne Renegades version.

 

[NYRB]

Pommy saying Mulder and Rabada went to the same school.

 

[NYRB]

MI Cape Town all over Super Giants, as Mulder has to depart

Durban 12/2 after 14 balls chasing a mammoth 208 for victory.

 

[NYRB]

Keemo Paul in at 4.

Career strike rate of 128.6 from 112 games.

 

[NYRB]

I agree with KP, you want your best batsman batting now. Not Keemo Paul.

 

[NYRB]

Keemo Paul only has a best score of 56 in T20s in his career, thats pretty poor for a number 4 bat.

 

[NYRB]

Sam Curran into the attack for 1st time tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Keemo Paul looks a bit nervous batting at 4. Bit conservative.

 

[NYRB]

Keemo Paul has to go and to be fair he never looked comfortable. He goes for 15 off 13 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Some idiot in the crowd is pointing a laser as Klaasen. Thats pretty poor sport.

 

[NYRB]

Breetzke has to go and Sam Curran takes his first wicket of the season.

 

[NYRB]

Pollard drops Pooran.

 

[NYRB]

Klaasen 50 up in 25 balls in Game 2.
