Spindles, fair comment but you have to take those chances to win the game, just like yesterday! The W. Indies did terrible things to Pakistan today taking the last 7 wkts for not many and coasting home despite Lara having to retire hurt after ducking into an Ahktar bouncer and getting it on the unprotected part of his neck. Ouch!

The way Lara dropped I didn't think he was going to get up at all. Any lesser man would have been killed. I heard the commentator say he was lucky he didn't take it on the jaw. Would have shattered it. True, but a ball at that speed could cause damage no matter where it hit you. I'm just happy it wasn't me standing there facing Ahktar.
As you probably noticed I'm not very positive of SA Cricket at this stage. England's going to destroy us. The SA team is so demoralised by now, that they will have to replace everybody to get rid of the negative energy. Mind you, the way they are playing now, maybe that isn't such a bad idea.
Other interesting local news is that Gibbs is not going to join the tour to India. Apparently the Indian Police still want to have a chat with him concerning the Hansie Cronje debacle. The Cricket Officials are scared that he can be arrested.
