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

[R!TTER]

Maxwell is a very good player.

Not when it turns square.

Lol who isn't when it rags?

So why do they need Warne here?

 

[Sunil1z]

Lol who isn't when it rags?

Rohit , Maxwell, Iyer , Pant .

 

[centurymaker]

Maharaj will be extremely difficult to play here

Match will likely be over as a contest by then

Australia will look to score like 100 in 10 overs.

 

[Sunil1z]

Not when it turns square.
So why do they need Warne here?

Maxwell will hit spinners out of the attack .

 

[R!TTER]

We'll see.

Speaking of tricky run chases, is Daryl Mitchell the most clutch batsman in the world ?

No he failed twice.

It's very hard working out what competive scores are in ODIs these days. 220 might win it, and 350 might lose it.

 

[DriveClub]

SA will be happy with 220 from here

 

[Molehill]

You could see Markram opening the bowling for SA.

 

[Burgey]

Excellent spell by Maxwell. Gave them very little

In 1996 WC semi , Jayasuriya destroyed India for 115-8 in 2nd innings. So need 240 and get 2 wickets in first 5 overs .

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I guess they'd have taken this at 20 odd for 4, got a chance if Miller bats through and they bowl and field brilliantly. Obviously a long shot but in it more now than before the rain delay.

 

[Kraken]

This is a good bowling change. Tempt Miller to try and take trav down here

 

[King Kane]

SA will be happy with 220 from here

That's about the best they can hope for from here unless Miller goes into beast mode and can get them to 250.

 

[centurymaker]

Hope SA can get 225+ so that they can at least make it a little interesting.

 

[Bahseph]

Match will likely be over as a contest by then

Australia will look to score like 100 in 10 overs.

I think every team would look to score at 10 an over though.

The way we have struggled to finish off the tail in this World Cup, Australia would still win from 115/8

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Miller needs to hit out now

 

[centurymaker]

The way we have struggled to finish off the tail in this World Cup, Australia would still win from 115/8

India easily defended 229 this world cup vs Eng. So anything is possible on a pitch with assistance.
