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

[Howsie]

As great as Sanga is, he needs to take some of the rap for this. His timing is way off but he's gone a long way to batting SL into a hole today. I can see what he was trying to do, but it's come a cropper.

Nah no way. 230 would've been just fine on this pitch, the great man knew what he was doing. It's not his fault his team collapsed like a bunch of clowns.

 

[Shri]

Is this the pitch the semi-final will play? Suddenly I'm a little more optimistic about India's chances.

ASHWIN!!! Raina will bowl more overs than Jadeja. Calling it now.

 

[G.I.Joe]

People were right about the choke today. They didn't get the team right, that's all.

 

[Jono]

And people bagged Pool B for being weak.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

hoping for Sanga blast

 

[Contra]

Yeah not gonna blame Sanga too much, its like Misbah for Pakistan, if everyone else played their part his innings would have been fine.

 

[Zinzan]

We still have to bat

Ah..c'mon

 

[anil1405]

The match is far from over.

 

[Ferraz]

One thing I admire about cricket is the sportsmanship. There's no chance in hell that a player of just about any other sport would "walk" if not given out by the umpire.

Erm, just leaving this here...

 

[morgieb]

The match is far from over.

If South Africa lose here they should be banned from every ICC knockout until enternity.

 

[Contra]

SA would have reviewed it anyways so eh..

 

[Burgey]

Nah no way. 230 would've been just fine on this pitch, the great man knew what he was doing. It's not his fault his team collapsed like a bunch of clowns.

Nah, he bottled it with this approach. Massively so.

 

[anil1405]

Goodbye Sanga.

 

[Contra]

well thats it then

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

massively dissapointed, was hoping for a thriller

 

[Snippie27]

Woooo! Sanga had to go for it. Great job Morkel!

 

[Ferraz]

Expected score: 180.

Next ball: Sanga's out caught.

New expected score: ???

 

[Contra]

raining! LOL

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Rain fk sakes. Ridiculous.

 

[Antihippy]

Yep, embarrassing for SL, this will really hurt them. Struggling to think of a more spineless performance.

Have we forgotten england already?
