WI tour of South Africa

[rich1uk]

Gayle being rested for the final T20...Holder and Ramdin reportedly rested too.

Madness. He's the reason most people have been watching it.

cant imagine this will go down well with the host broadcasters and sponsors

The way SA have started it looks like they should have played him.

[Aidan11]

Wiese at three?

What the...

windies post 195-3 Van Wyk 114*

Shoulda played Gayle.

1.00pm South Africa have won the toss and will bat. David Miller is fit and Gayle is back.

Early breakthrough for WIs

[Aidan11]

5 ducks in 10 ODIs for Rossouw.

WI have fallen into SA's trap

amla and abdv together already

[Aidan11]

Looking that way.

50 partnership up.

Looks like Gayle is going to have to try and win this on his own. Not for the first time.

I would temper my expectations tbh. T20 is a different format altogether. Gayle has 1 50+ score against a top 8 side in ODIs over the last two and a half years. I really hope he finds some ODI form though as it'd be great to watch him bat in full flow against Steyn & co and I want to see a competitive WI at the WC.

Rain arrives 10 balls shy of completing the SA innings.

It might be the only thing that can save WIs.

[Aidan11]

The weather worked in SA's favour.

No Gayle force whirlwind this time.
