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

[ankitj]

Good game for de Kock to get back in knick.

 

[morgieb]

Why? They have a good core of young players and a very good captain. They just need more experience.

What? They'll lose Sangakkara, Herath, Malinga, Dilshan and Jayawardene very quickly. Apart from Angelo, who else is good that's left?

 

[Howsie]

Geez. Your've just seen South Africa's spinners clean up so what do you do..... You chuck Nuwan the ball.

 

[Zinzan]

Worrying signs for the Windies and New Zealand if de Kock gets a decent score for his confidence today. Another failure here will not be good for the bloke heading into a semi.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Can we get a seperate thread on the ****ing definition of choking? And quickly before I start using cake analogies.

Choking is worrying about the icing when the recipe calls for pineapple upside-down cake.

 

[viriya]

I'm sorry, you have to have shed at least ten litres of tears over NZ test matches since 2005 to qualify.

I said my team was NZ before the WC.. who gives a **** about tests.

Internet died and so did my stream.

Ultimate slap on the face with De Kock making runs..

Hope SA wins it all from here.

NZ first choice.
SA second.

Aus & Ind never.

Pineapple upside down cake. That's perfect, I was really struggling to define their effort today.

SA second.

Aus & Ind never.

Isn't that a contradiction or do you mean you want SA to win by 10 wickets here?

Don't get him started. Please.

Where else were you gonna bowl Nuwan?

 

[Heboric]

has anyone actually asked tahir why he carries on like such a pork chop?

I think he took lessons from Flintoff and Afridi

Piss weak imo. You can support two teams but trying to dodge the toll when your team goes down the bad times highway is just the worst. At least do it quietly.

Well.. I just realized NZ need to go through SA..

Get rekt NZ..

(just kidding, I'm supporting whoever comes up the winner there).

But seriously, we are in uncharted territory here - SA not choking = winning it all? They didn't even need Amla + AB here.

**** that. I said from the beginning that SL had no chance. Sanga + Dilshan just masked the issues. And it was perfect - I just wanted Sanga to do well. **** that underachieving Mahela.

 

[GotSpin]

**** this.

Perm or natural?

 

[Snippie27]

No!!! Amla!

 

[Primrose_D12]

Got a stream back but I'm tethering off my phone and destroying my data allowance.

 

[viriya]

Amla out with <50.. Odds say SL win guyzzzzzzz.
