7.10 pm Warriors have been too good for South Australia. A 50-run chasm between the sides. Gareth: "To Srikkandh: Nope, not entirely true. What about Smuts and Botha?"
Karn: "Very clever, Jeremy. No 'c's used in fade."
JJ Smuts is the Man of the Match for his 88 off 65 balls. He took a wicket too. Warriors have won two out of two, well placed for a semi-final berth. I have to pop over to the commentary for the Kolkata v Somerset game. Join me there. Cheers.
Srikkandh: "Doesnt anyone feel that the only difference between redbacks and warriors has been tait?"
The final over of a painful chase. Botha will bowl it.

Jonesy: "This has been an embarrassing performance, looks like SA hasn't even tried to win at any time today."

Brett Lee has indicated on Star Cricket that Gautam Gambhir will play tonight.
Jeremy: "How painful to see the Saffers do well in the early stages of yet another tournament. You just know they're going to fade in the end."

Satish: "Or may be because most IPL teams are dependent on aussie players. Can you imagine a csk win in the IPL 2010 without a bollinger. A DC win in 2009 without gilly. A RR win in 2008 without watson/warne."
