ICC World Cup - 37th match, Super Eights

West Indies v South Africa

South Africa won by 67 runs

ODI no. 2567 | 2006/07 season
Played at National Cricket Stadium, St George's, Grenada
10 April 2007 (50-over match)


South Africa innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
AB de Villiers	c Chanderpaul b Collymore	146	195	130	12	5	112.30
43.1 and immediately he strikes as de Villiers tries to cheekily flick one over short fine leg...but he just cannot time it, and there ends a brilliant innings 261/3
GC Smith*	c †Ramdin b Collymore	7	35	22	0	0	31.81
6.6 oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. That is a terrible stroke. Half a step down the track, trying to hit an outswinger over the top and a thick edge hands the wicketkeeper the simplest of catches 21/1
JH Kallis	b Gayle	81	127	86	6	1	94.18
35.2 Gayle strikes! At last the deadlock is broken! Kallis moved back (and then forward) to give himself some room, there, but he didn't make contact as the ball turned back into him and took middle stump 191/2
HH Gibbs	not out	61	70	40	4	3	152.50

MV Boucher†	c & b Bravo	52	32	23	2	5	226.08
49.2 a slower ball which comes out as a full toss, Boucher misreads it and skies it back to the bowler who just takes a few steps to his right to take a simple catch 347/4
SM Pollock	not out	0	3	0	0	0	-

Extras	(lb 3, w 6)	9

Total	(4 wickets; 50 overs; 233 mins)	356	(7.12 runs per over)

Bowling	O	M	R	W	Econ
CD Collymore	10	0	41	2	4.10	(3w)
6.6 to Smith, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. That is a terrible stroke. Half a step down the track, trying to hit an outswinger over the top and a thick edge hands the wicketkeeper the simplest of catches 21/1 43.1 to de Villiers, and immediately he strikes as de Villiers tries to cheekily flick one over short fine leg...but he just cannot time it, and there ends a brilliant innings 261/3
DBL Powell	10	0	78	0	7.80	(1w)

IDR Bradshaw	10	0	73	0	7.30	(2w)

DJ Bravo	7	0	69	1	9.85
49.2 to Boucher, a slower ball which comes out as a full toss, Boucher misreads it and skies it back to the bowler who just takes a few steps to his right to take a simple catch 347/4
KA Pollard	3	0	20	0	6.66

CH Gayle	6	0	42	1	7.00
35.2 to Kallis, Gayle strikes! At last the deadlock is broken! Kallis moved back (and then forward) to give himself some room, there, but he didn't make contact as the ball turned back into him and took middle stump 191/2
RR Sarwan	4	0	30	0	7.50


West Indies innings (target: 357 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
CH Gayle	run out (Prince)	32	54	35	3	0	91.42
11.3 from Hall, just short of a length and it's worked to leg for a quick single. Well, they better be quick - Gayle hesitated a touch and Prince, at short midwicket, had just one stump to aim at...and he's nailed it 69/3
S Chanderpaul	c Smith b Pollock	4	12	7	0	0	57.14
2.1 early success for South Africa as the ball's placed outside off and that's driven straight into Smith's bucket hands at mid-off for an easy catch 5/1
DS Smith	c de Villiers b Nel	33	39	27	4	0	122.22
10.6 good catch! Smith stepped outside leg, and guided it off the face of the bat to de Villiers - twanging hamstring and all - who dived in from point and took an excellent, low catch. Smith wasn't sure that he held it, but de Villiers gave him the thumbs up 65/2
BC Lara*	b Kallis	21	44	26	1	0	80.76
19.4 oh no, Lara's gone. Good bowling change from Smith, Kallis's slight change of pace causing Lara problems. It was wide of the off stump and, frankly, deserved to be smacked through the covers...but he just couldn't get to the pitch of the ball, and inside-edged onto his stumps 119/4
RR Sarwan	c Pollock b Ntini	92	124	75	10	1	122.66
38.1 goddim, and with him goes any last remnants of hope the West Indies might've had. He tried to take Ntini on, tried to hit him over the top - but his front-footed slap was mistimed straight to Pollock at mid off 213/8
DJ Bravo	c Gibbs b Pollock	6	20	11	0	0	54.54
24.1 and the move pays off straight away. Short - but not that short - and the batsman doesn't have enough room on the drive to midwicket. Gibbs is all smiles and he points his index finger in the air, because he can 142/5
KA Pollard	b Kallis	10	23	17	1	0	58.82
29.5 awful, awful. A straight one from Kallis, on a good length, and Pollard comes down the track to try to pull that through midwicket, yorks himself, tucks his bat under his arm and he's on his way. Middle peg goes wheeling 169/6
D Ramdin†	c sub (RJ Peterson) b Smith	4	9	9	0	0	44.44
31.5 fine catch from Peterson, the substitute, diving forward at short midwicket. Ramdin flicked it feebly, with no intent, no placement and it bobbled up tantalisingly to Peterson who dived forward, taking it an inch or so from the turf. Made it look very easy 181/7
IDR Bradshaw	c Hall b Smith	20	58	45	1	0	44.44
45.3 goes for it this time and sends slog-sweeps it, sending it looping high - my, what a lovely parabola - but straight to the man at deep deep square leg 254/9
DBL Powell	not out	48	46	36	2	3	133.33

CD Collymore	not out	12	16	12	0	1	100.00

Short - but not that short - and the batsman doesn't have enough room on the drive to midwicket. Gibbs is all smiles and he points his index finger in the air, because he can 142/5
M Ntini	10	1	57	1	5.70
38.1 to Sarwan, goddim, and with him goes any last remnants of hope the West Indies might've had. He tried to take Ntini on, tried to hit him over the top - but his front-footed slap was mistimed straight to Pollock at mid off 213/8
A Nel	10	0	54	1	5.40
