***Official***Semi-Final #2- South Africa vs Australia - November 16th - Eden Gardens, Kolkata (D/N)

Starc showed no signs of being able to land it in the right area this consistently the last 9 games... have to admire showing up right when it was required.

 

[Burgey]

Is Starc turning up for the knockouts?

It would seem so

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Haha way too early to throw in the towel. There is plenty in this for Jansen and Rabada to exploit. Just need a score with a 2 infront of it

Good news they're only like 15 runs away

 

[Neil Young]

Kind of sums up SA's luck, win a toss in a semi final and end up giving perfect bowling conditions to the Aussies.

They need to borrow some from the rugby team.

Rugby team used it all up.

Looks like a wicket will fall nearly every delivery at present.

Be real interesting to see what Klaasen and Miller do

klaasen - out lbw sweeping zampa after making 25 off 50

miller - out bowled paddle sweeping zampa early

This the sort of surface for marnus and smith

Reminds me of the dressing room vision after they got knocked out of 2003 WC.

 

[Spark]

Also this is obscenely good from these two. Probably the best I've seen from them in 18 months

 

[Kraken]

You can blame the batting, sure. **** the bowling and fielding has been top notch so far

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Warner has been outstanding for an old git today.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Lol not even disappointed, I've seen this movie a thousand times.

 

[Curmudgeon]

Wonderful spells from both Starc and Hazlewood. Peak fast bowling

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Flop XI member Mitchell Starc

 

[Neil Young]

Lol not even disappointed, I've seen this movie a thousand times.

I feel your pain, mate.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This the sort of surface for marnus and smith

Monsters when pitch is like this and you have 250 to chase

 

[ashley bach]

It really is spicy as **** out there. What a shocking deck to suddenly produce after a tourney of run fests.

 

[R!TTER]

Chokers gonna choke?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Lol not even disappointed, I've seen this movie a thousand times.

Least the C word won't be used today as they haven't been in a position to do anything.

Be real interesting to see what Klaasen and Miller do if they knock over one more quickly. Very different situation to anything else they've been presented in this tournament

This entire game for me is now on the bat of Markram. He is the only true quality all round batsmen that can bat for 35+ overs keep it ticking without needing to do anything silly. If Miller is out there before the 30th over I see absolutely no hope.
