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

[Nintendo]

Writing is on the wall

Small total & Smith/Marnus are very selfish

They will either drag this game out for what will ultimately look like a comfortable win on paper or bat us into trouble

Your telling me that we will either lose or win the game? Groundbreaking stuff.

That’s good batting. Got a loose one and put it away

Yep. Shamsi is a threat but he's not Ashwin/Jadeja levels of accuracy, you just need to wait for the bad ball.

Three way race between Babar, Buttler and Bavuma for the honour of worst captain

Good captains always go to their spinners when the conditions are tailor-made for them. Typical South African obsessed with pace pace pace.

Stonis might get a game on Sunday.

Where's the FSL, Bavuma?

bring a fwd short leg for shamsi

It’s weird to use it in a one dayer tbh. I’d have thought a silly point would be the go. It stops the forward prod and makes lbw more likely.

Leg slip a moral to take a screamer now I’ve said that

We are all thinking alike...

This is excellent from Labuschagne

The good thing is that there's no run rate pressure at all so they really can just sit on them for the next ten overs or so

... I just did a quick calculation & noted that Australia could play out the next 88 consecutive dot balls until the asking rate hits 6... (or just under 15 overs in laymen's terms)

No reason to go to the air or any horrid swipe... Just pick them off in singles and they'll ease home.

 

[Burgey]

Terrific shot that

Well done. Rational minds.

fwd short leg realistic

i want slip, leg slip, silly point and fed short leg

 

[Spark]

Shamsi'll be glad if one of these two plays the "shot" that Buttler tried there as well, Athers

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Australia got the middle order for this chase

The whole pie!

 

[Spark]

Ffs. Totally unnecessary

 

[Molehill]

Feels like Kettlebrough gave that coz he didn't give the last one.

But it does look plumb......hmm, the previous one was rather plumber.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Stupid shot

 

[social]

How on earth can they "bat us into trouble". They could dead bat the next ten overs and it would probably still be perfectly in hand

Like that

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's dead

 

[Burgey]

Had to be out
