1st Quarter Final - South Africa v Sri Lanka (18th March)

[Burgey]

Who are most neutrals here cheering for btw?

On one hand, I really want SA to break their knock-out streak, but at the same time would rather NZ face SL if we make the semi, so I'm really split tbh. Probably leaning towards SL overall.

Really don't mind at all tbh. Two good sides with some class players in both. I'm probably leaning to SA a little, but only because I'd like to see them break the hoodoo thing, but SL are always competitive in these tourneys, despite being test match minnows away from home etc etc, you've all heard it before.

Sorry me at work can someone please describe how Steyn hurt himself?

Screamed like mad and pulled his neck. Something like this:

 

[Greenlite]

I don't know for sure, but it looked like he twinged a neck muscle after he screaming like a psychopath in celebration of the wicket, but it may have been something else.

I see, like Willy Moon

thirmanne looking better this over, not sure what to make of sangakkara for now

Ha! Only Christian Bale can do that...wait he played Psycho

 

[Contra]

Thirmanne doing what Kushal was sent as opener for xD

South Africa. Doesn't matter for us. Will meet SA or SL only in the final.

27 from a team total of 34 so far...

I've seen enough of him to make my assessment. He goes ok imo

 

[OverratedSanity]

Thirimanne looks good when the boundaries flow, but otherwise he's streaky as ****.

 

[Zinzan]

27 from a team total of 34 so far...

Yeah, making more of a mockery of the fact he didn't open. He probably would have put those wide deliveries Perera was missing in the first over or two.

 

[Greenlite]

The guy doing all the scoring's not Sanga? Dang left handers

Sanga is so content with what he is doing. Makes me think he will get another big one today.

 

[Burgey]

Feel like Morkel is busting his boiler too hard here.

 

[smash84]

sangers 2 off 27. That's Misbahesque tbh
