Days of Grace
International Captain
Man, watching all day in Japan. Took the day off work. Still only 7:30pm here so don't know what to do. Just elated and so proud of the boys. Greatest sporting day in my life.
Yep and it is still a farceyou done?
Fair point.Although when the rain came there were twelve overs left and AB was ready to launch. The last ten overs or so he usually really goes up a notch and with Miller there with extra overs not having to go the tonk it could easily have been 350 plus. In a final that would have been hard to run down.
Oh, wait, no. Shane Warne is commentating on the replay too.Ditto
A celebration drink or two. Enjoy your night.Man, watching all day in Japan. Took the day off work. Still only 7:30pm here so don't know what to do. Just elated and so proud of the boys. Greatest sporting day in my life.
This. Moreover, it would have given us another 12 overs to chase down whatever they scored.Can people please stop going on about the ****ing rain and how it screwed South Africa? Yeah I get that ABdV is the best ODI batsman in the world but how many do South Africa pile on if he sticks ball 38.1 straight up in the air?
There were 12 overs left which is a long time in limited overs cricket. Plenty of time for South Africa to lose a couple of wickets and completely lose their way.
So rain affected one innings and not the otherSA was aware of the rain and if they felt like it, they could have accelerated earlier. Bunch of whiny ****s. Seriously, how jaded do you have to be to whine like this after a match like that?
In fairness though it is dangerous to play for rain and cost yourself wickets. Maybe they erred at the toss by batting first.SA was aware of the rain and if they felt like it, they could have accelerated earlier. Bunch of whiny ****s. Seriously, how jaded do you have to be to whine like this after a match like that?
I hope someone uploads it, I recorded it but for some reason with no sound.They're replaying it on Fox and I'm going to watch it again immediately.
It's not SA fans whining on here, it's 'neutrals'.SA was aware of the rain and if they felt like it, they could have accelerated earlier. Bunch of whiny ****s. Seriously, how jaded do you have to be to whine like this after a match like that?
yeah and anyone who sees the question "who should bowl the final over for SA" and thinks Vernon Philander is the answer should really just stop following cricketYeah I thought Steyn's final over was fine... Dan squeezing that away for four was just great batting.
