The Proteas started their World Cup campaign on a high after beating the Windies with 8 wickets and 14 balls to spare. Herschelle Gibbs got South Africa out of jail after poor bowling from South Africa and a brilliant T20 record of 117 of 57 balls by Chris Gayle. The Windies was absolutely poor in the field which allowed the Proteas back in the game. Gibbs scored a gutsy 90 runs and Kemp a slow but effective 46 runs to take the Proteas home. West India made 206 runs in their 20 overs and South Africa reach the target with 14 balls to spare.
Although we've started the tournament with a bang, a point of concern are the lack of variety in the bowling department, a persistent problem which probably cost us the tournament in the Caribbean earlier this year. But as a true South African supporter we'll take the win and hope the bowlers can come to the party. As a cricket supporter - Chris Gayle you beauty what an excellent innings.
