Semi Finals

[Matt79]

Nel has a sore hand from copping one in the nets apparently. Time for Tait to hone in on that...

Hogg gets Pollock!

Watto isn't getting three wickets today...

Meh he ain't batting though.

 

[Matt79]

I'm quite prepared to risk wearing Mason to get Fiery to have Watto 4 Lyf

Aussies so clearly in their head its not even funny.

The whole "Would like Jaques in early to ensure he bats slowly" clearly worked.

Yeah, such a blatant choke. Not a term I'm all that keen on, but South Africa were so obviously keen to "dominate" Australia today, and there's no way it was necessary under the circumstances. Smith and Kallis both got out playing huge pre-meditated swings, and Kallis' was particularly bad given that they'd already lost a wicket and there was no need for another boundary anyway. So un-Kallis like, and so stupid.

Either they were brain explosions caused by nerves, or the strength of the Australian batting and the occasion (and perhaps the comments to the media before the game) led SA to aim way too high in terms of the scoring rate.

Shocking batting anyway, South Africa really should have been happy to get through the early period and aim for 250 odd. With decent bowling, that's certainly defendable, but whatever crap they end up with here won't be.

There is a valid argument for removing ODI status from all teams except Australia...

Yeah i would love to see Pidge getting a Michelle!!

 

[stumpski]

Australia could get 10 overs' batting before tea - in which case they might do to South Africa what the Saffies did to England.

This is really getting boring for me now, i just hope Aussies wrap the things up quickly now.

From 27/5 to 109/8, honestly so!

We know who'd win it now, so lets' just get done with the last 2 wickets here Ozzies !!!!!

 

[pup11]

Watto coming into bowl and probably to get some bowling practice under his belt before the finals.

 

[Trigger_Tiger]

.....

Nel hurt on the thumb a little again there?

 

[pasag]

Dire.

 

[Langeveldt]

Their feet are mired in the mediocrity of their own self-imposed intensity. ..

haha, awesome... So true as well

 

[Matt79]

I'm going to have to go to bed - stupid work tomorrow. i'll sleep easier however.

Night all - see you at the finals.

 

[pup11]

At this rate i doubt Haydos would get a chance to break the record of most runs in a WC.
