1st Semi Final - New Zealand v South Africa (24th March)

[GGG]

Beauty Boult! And he is all over de Kock.

 

[jonbrooks]

We'll take that. :-) Keep at it Boulty.

I'm literally dying. Newest bloke at my job. Can't leave desk. Hear people watching game in breakroom crying out. AND CHEERS!

CHEERS!??!

is AB cake or icing? Ice-cake?

 

[BeeGee]

Just a matter of time. Boult is all over them.

 

[Neil Pickup]

This may be stating the bleeding obvious, but I get the feeling that this is going to be won by the blokes with the clearest heads.

So far we've had four overs of the kind of panic stations I'm only used to seeing when a fresh crop of Under-10s take the field for the first time every May.

Walk into break room. Declare that you are going to watch the cricket. Other people to admire your panache.

2 more quick ones and NZ have won the game pretty much.

Francois is a handsome man.

Definitely icing.. too run-out prone when it matters to be cake.

 

[Zinzan]

Omg Athlai no don't be at work for this.

Genuinely feel for the bloke, but terrible planning.

Should've mentioned the planned day of leave at the job interview for mine.

I'd never compromise this.

 

[viriya]

Don't choke this time Faf!

 

[Niall]

Amla's ODI record flatters him so so much. Just can't get myself to rate this guy as high as other successful ODI bats.

He has never done it in a knockout game in either t20 or ODI cricket. How can people call this guy the best in the world until he sorts that?

Yea or just say you are only free to start work in April due to family issues or smth.

Poor form Athlai. You should know better.

Boulthee looking so good.

Yea especially considering the streaky but fast start SA got, he should know to buckle down and hang around. Especially since SA is all about going for it at the end when batting first. Disappointing from a guy averaging almost 60 in ODIs.

Boult isn't bad looking either

 

[Swingpanzee]

Southee still looking a tad off here
