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

Great innings that by Miller. Given them hope when all seemed lost.

 

[StephenZA]

Great knock by a highly misunderstood batsman.
Take a bow Miller
Probably will be his last WC too.

Don't think he is a misunderstood batsmen. Highly talented, one of the cleanest strikers of the ball I`ve seen. Probably picked to early in his career and never developed his full batting potential for the first class game.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

It's really not that great of an innings. Better than Kohli's century but Miller should have changed his gears early.

It's the first time ever that a No.6 batsman or lower has scored an ODI hundred in a World Cup knockout game.
So pretty special in that regard.

 

[morgieb]

Shamsi has to be close to the worst batsman I've ever seen.

 

[Kraken]

It's really not that great of an innings. Better than Kohli's century but Miller should have changed his gears early. Batting got easy around 36th over but Miller was still not hitting the part timers.

shut up mate, seriously. Your schtick is wearing thin

still shocked he survived that Afghanistan game

Horrible....

 

[DriveClub]

If klassen had stuck around longer SA could've been in a better position

I was wondering if people were being too harsh on you but I now see they were all correct

He is certainly more Chris Martin than even a Devon Malcolm. He looks clueless.

Was pigeon holed as a white ball player. Never really focused on the red ball stuff , we should have got him into test side while he was young ..

Literally unheard of that a player from a Test playing nation with his kinda of ODI record not playing a single Test match.

 

[Spark]

I mean Rabada can't take singles here because the innings will likely end the next ball

 

[Spark]

That is a truly terrible ball. Literally the only ball he could possibly hit for six.

 

[StephenZA]

If klassen had stuck around longer SA could've been in a better position

If SA had not lost Markram and QDK early we would also have been in a better position... if SA had got to 400 we would have been in a better position?

 

[Adorable Asshole]

how’s he gonna do that when his team like 5 down in 20 overs and it’s playing like a mine field

It wasn't playing like a minefield though. Especially last 20 overs.

 

[King Kane]

Rabada is a wasted talent with the bat, he can smoke them.

SA's version of Southee,

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Horrible....

Yeah, it's the hope that kills you.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

shut up mate, seriously. Your schtick is wearing thin

And who are you?

Yes but he struggled for a long time when the ball was moving... as I said never got a chance to develop that part of his game until it was to late. Maybe not picking him young and letting him play FC cricket would have been better for SA cricket.

Because Klassen had got his eye in and formed a good partnership with Miller. Could've been a pretty special partnership
