Two days of continuous rain to ruin the match, BCs progress to the final on pool stage placing

I need to scope out a pub near my work.

I work in a pub! (Unfortunately one that doesn't have TV's)

 

[thierry henry]

I'm going. Can't wait. Got a ticket late in the piece.

****ed that Mills won't be playing but you can't have it all.

Probably my biggest issue with working in Ponsonby.

How can there be so many pubs without TVs? No idea where I should go for a watering hole. Bet everywhere is $10 for a pint too.

 

[Shri]

yeah but this is SA. Like comparing choking on apple to choking on oranges

Yeah.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Dale Steyn hasn't fired yet, has he? And he likes playing against NZ too. Do we think an ATG like that is simply going to whimper away from what may be the last WC game of his career? hmm?

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Dale Steyn hasn't fired yet, has he?

If anything, SA might get too pumped for this match.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Might pull a nerve again

I think de villiers will be make century in first semi final match against NZ.

 

[Spikey]

It's so hard to predict which choker will choke and once again miss the final. I think it's anyone's choke to choke

 

[Spark]

Be fairly surprised if NZ don't win this tbh.

 

[Spikey]

spark pls

de Kock
Rossouw
Taylor
Elliott
Duminy
Ronchi (+)
Southee
Milne
Abbott
Steyn

du Plessis is mediocre. Drop AB to 5 and bring in Taylor at 4.

 

[Daemon]

These new bogans need to go. Can't have them ruining my WC experience.

 

[harsh.ag]

Love to see any of these two in the final. Win-win for me.

I will be cheering in the final for whoever wins this match, regardless of outcomes.

du Plessis is mediocre. Drop AB to 5 and bring in Taylor at 4.

du Plessis is not doing that bad in the wc. A century against Ireland and couple of fifties which he could have cashed in. Certainly not mediocre. His performance just gets overshadowed by other mightys

 

[harsh.ag]

He is good, just not a typical number three.

Meanwhile Taylor has been scratchy as ****.

Career comparison is one thing, World Cup Combined XI is another thing entirely.
