Brendan really needs a wicket here from boult

 

[Prince EWS]

so sweepstakes on.

how much will SA make?

What do you think Pratters? 700? 800?

 

[Contra]

working the angles is AB

 

[Stace]

so sweepstakes on.

how much will SA make?

411

 

[hendrix]

After 37 overs.

She's all on for young and old from here on in.

so they might get to around 300.

Just not seeing anything to panic about at all.

 

[Dan]

How can you say NZ are being too aggressive when those tactics have got them to this point? If you are going to say a strategy is good then you have to live with it when it doesn't pay off.

What?

There's a difference between saying "don't be aggressive up front" and "don't bother with a first slip and give your bowlers some more protection when they're bowling to AB de Villiers in this kind of mood".

Tactics are allowed to change as the situation changes, y'know.

crowd going quiet now

 

[Jono]

Don't drop AB...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sorry NZ, you don't drop AB and get to win.

 

[Hurricane]

Bad ball to finish with - given Mid on and Mid Off were up.

 

[cnerd123]

This is crazy good batting from ABDV. He's been ridiculous this WC.

 

[viriya]

so they might get to around 300.

Just not seeing anything to panic about at all.

NZ will be happy with just 300 but it's going to be 350 I'm afraid.

 

[smash84]

What do you think Pratters? 700? 800?

411

335 for mine

 

[Dan]

Also, AB =

 

[smash84]

Stace 411
smali 335
Viriya 350

 

[cnerd123]

Rain zzzzz

How great would another D/L influenced loss in a KO game for South Africa be?

 

[viriya]

Start the match over.

 

[Zinzan]

Perfect time for NZ to regroup.

 

[smash84]

[kykweer.proteas]

Rain to destroy us again... Wow
