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

[viriya]

If Baz lasts 10-15 overs NZ will win it easily.

the D/L system is crap. how about this SA got 43 overs 280. NZ gets 43 overs to get 280. Where the F*** they get 298 from ???

Because SA did not know they would have 7 less overs to bat.

 

[cnerd123]

Since when does Philander get that much bounce?

McCullum is so good.

How often has he done it in this tournament? He gets a quick few runs and then gets out.

everyone just shut up we can't jinx this

 

[Isura]

dreadful line and length. What is Vernon doing.

 

[viriya]

That Philander pick over Abbott..

GJ SA on doing an SL.

 

[Adgey]

New Zealand have gone from 2:2:1 dogs to almost even money after 1 and a half overs.

 

[Burgey]

Still got a weird notion that fullish on off stump might be a reasonable line and length here. I know it's old fashioned, but still....

 

[jonbrooks]

I am still scratching my head with BMac's field placings in the overs after the rain break. Strange that he did not have a long on or long off in place. When he did we managed to save a few boundaries.

I am still pretty upset by NMac's drop catch. :-(

 

[Shady Slim]

no philander if i root for your team then don't **** up

 

[smash84]

Philander getting ****ed lol

 

[ankitj]

I think I was behind NZ before this game, but I will cry for AB if SA lose.

Haha, TAB is a joke. I was watching the SA odds drop after every run they scored.

SA didn't just lose 7 overs. They lost 7 slog overs which they were conserving wickets for to go crazy and boost their total. Not adjusting the total upwards is unfair on teams batting first. They plan their whole innings thinking it's 50 overs and then suddenly its 43?!
