Morkel crying broke me tbh, such a likeable guy

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's ****ed

SA would've got 350-400 and NZ would not have had a prayer

Mark it down as a day where I support SA

ffs

Awesome game. Loved every minute of it. Right result from my perspective too. Elliott, WAFG.

Now I shall depart the thread while you idiots debate whether it was a choke or not despite each of you all using different definitions of the word. Catch you in the Aus-India thread.

Never a choke, two very good sides go toe to toe and one just prevails. Great match.

Steyn lost this for SA though. That was a terrible last over. But bdjbvejhfbshfbknfksjndfkjsjmkljsdfnl;faKNVKJ

Best ODI I've ever seen. I love both these teams and I've never felt such a collision of emotions. I'm in tears.

 

[straw man]

Amazing amazing victory, incredible calmness from Elliott and Anderson in particular. In credible match.

Feel hugely for SA players and fans, incredible contest, so many of them played so well and they were so so close.

Riveting. The rain sort of did put a dampener on it though. Made it tough for SA but it was their fielding and Philander instead of Abbott which cost them.

 

[vic_orthdox]

top effort by both teams and players such as amla, ab, morkel unfortunately really got fricked over by some **** from teammates but if nz lost the same could be said for mccullum and vettoi

the passion and such that steyn bowls with is great however after a check of the stats philandurp should have had the last over.

Except Philander was off the ground as soon as he finished his 8th over, because SA wanted to get on a better fielder.

Yep.

 

[Briony]

Think whoever wins on Thursday might win pretty easily on Sunday.

 

[otagoman]

man, different games, different people have stood up, Guptill, McCullum, Williamson, Elliott, Anderson, Boult, Vettori, and Southee....Taylor and Ronchi to step up in the final?

 

[GotSpin]

i really thought my prediction of a vettori success Was going to come true

 

[Adders]

Absolutely wrapped for NZ but also gutted for SA.........anyone that uses the C word for this is just a dead set ****.

I never thought it'd take only a few weeks for Kane's six to be surpassed as the greatest six in the history of the universe.
