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

[cnerd123]

zzzzz should have caught that. That's 4 more runs that need chasing.

 

[Swingpanzee]

**** this

 

[Hurricane]

Another dot!

Oh no goes to the shortest man on the field.

 

[viriya]

NZ will need a McCullum special to win this one I feel.. or Anderson/Ronchi to go ape****.

 

[OverratedSanity]

A reminder that whatever South Africa will be adjusted. For example if they end up with 280, the revised target will be 297 in 43 overs

Not as big of an adjustment as I expected tbh

 

[Flem274*]

another drop

Please Macca do not hit out , we cant be be 1 down after 3 overs chasing 300+

nah he has to go go go. it's the entire reason he's up there. if he comes off like he has numerous times this world cup it makes life so much easier.

 

[JediNudist]

Sorry is 280 is the new 300+

 

[Zinzan]

Cricinfo said it'll be adjusted up to just 297 if SA gt 280

Oh wow, that margin has really reduced from the extra 50 runs they would have had added if it was 38 overs, I thought it would still give them another 30, but 2 overs back I thought SA were going to get to 290.

 

[smash84]

how many runs will SA get added to their total?

 

[Swingpanzee]

so 298 to win?

 

[biased indian]

300 + to chase ??

 

[cnerd123]

281.

So that's like 295 yea?

Very difficult ask.

 

[OverratedSanity]

SA are winning this.

 

[ajdude]

SA all out for 281. heard it here first (and you'll probably never hear it again ftr)

uh guys

 

[Athlai]

McCullum is going to come out so hard.

 

[jonbrooks]

The wheels have completely fallen off NZ. Nathan Mac, how could you not get that?! The number of wides we've conceded.

I was so worried about not getting a decent challenge in the Pool stage and we're paying the price. Without taking anything away from SA that was a ****e bowling performance. You can't win the WC after dropping catches like that.

 

[smash84]

Not as big of an adjustment as I expected tbh

that's a really bad adjustment. SA will feel robbed

 

[Zinzan]

Thank **** that's over. Brilliant SA. Such a shame NZ fielded well below their usual high standards when the pressure really came on. Really disappointing. Who knows what all those half-chances cost them in the end.

 

[Athlai]

uh guys

For 5. Due to a rain shortened innings.

 

[Flem274*]

baz should come out sans helmet and charge steyn first ball. would be the coolest thing ever.

honestly though our best chance is to make SA so angry they forget how to bowl. if i may ask one mercy it is please don't let it be tahir who kills us.
