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

yes but weather tomorrow is worse. would be funny if SA go through cause of NRR.

Oh yeah, I forgot the third scenario. Sometimes two teams are having a thriller but then rain and/or Seth Rollins ruin it at a tense moment. Like Brock Lesnar vs John Cena at Survivor Series 2014.

 

[Bahseph]

Realistically speaking what is a score that SA would feel they could defend here? I'm not talking a score where Rabada needs to take 5/10...I mean a good competitive score?

 

[Molehill]

Why are umpires always the only people with umbrellas up? To make matters worse, it's a ****ing Englishman.

 

[GIMH]

Get a climate ffs India

 

[Gnske]

SA getting through finally to a WC final because of rain would be peak cricket and I'm all for us losing on that basis.

 

[R!TTER]

SA should've poked some holes in them covers before leaving the field ‍

 

[King Kane]

South Africa will be praying this rain continues for the rest of the day and all day tomorrow, that's probably their only chance of making the final now.

They wouldn't be that lucky though, they are cursed when it comes to World Cup semi finals.

Over a 50 over game, 220 would be pretty decent

Depends on if Maxwell had concussions a day before yesterday.

The curse of having to complete a game of cricket.

Lucky in rugby though?

Well someone else will quote him .
Or if I put him on ignore , even if someone else quotes him , it won’t be visible?

If I start being a neo-Nazi fascist on Politics, we can expedite the matter into a review period by the moderation team that lasts half a decade.

Point taken though, my contribution for the night is done (or close to it)

I know you're new, but I've read more Cricinfo scorecards than you've read books.

It's a warm up, it's not even List-A. You must be linking yourself to the wrong one?

It's literally the first ODI of the series before the WC.

Nope, he's right. It's a warmup game. Says it right at the top of the page
