aims at the leg stump, quick ball, too quick for the batsman, SL well on track to become the 3rd consecutive World Cup holders to miss out on the semi finals
South Africa vs Sri Lanka, 9th Match at Northampton, May 19 1999 - Ball by Ball Commentary
I'd bother to wrap up the match but I assume everyone's swapped over to the Ind-Zim match, and that's what I'm doing too.
goodnight from CI
defensive from outside the leg stump onto the on side
picthing on off, slight inseam, into the forward defensive pad, quite plumb, hitting middle or middle and leg, umpire thinks so as well
shortish again, inside edge onto the thigh, and the ball just trickles over the stumps, very close there
pitching short, big inseam into the thigh
defended on the off side
but he makes a nice two-handed infield pounce there
it was actually Rhodes the fielder, showing his failings in throwing from the deep
pushing behind the point fielder, quick running, but the deep fielder just wasn't strong enough or accurate enough with his throw, TV called anyway, safely in
very well played thru the square leg, Klusener being lazy with his line and length
pushing across the line to the point fielder
good healthy drive for an otherwise dead and buried side
turned off the legs to bring up the ton, half way to a win!
come on Sri Lanka, get out so we can watch India-Zimbabwe
forceful tap from outside the off stump to the covers
chopping off the middle stump into the mid wicket area
defended very well off the stumps and onto the on side
outside edge runs away into the covers
