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

[Spark]

Australia's tail can bat too. As long as smith's there, they'll win.

Frankly as long as they just see out the next half hour they'll win because you'd think that Shamsi and Maharaj aren't coming off until they're bowled out

 

[Shri]

aus in kolkata is like germans in russia

 

[Spark]

Time for Inglis to actually perform better than the underperforming player he replaced.

Last thing we'd have needed in this situation is another bloke whose only shot is the sweep

 

[trundler]

Sweepathon redux here would be amazing

 

[TimAngas]

Imagine Carey coming out now lol
Reverse sweeping first ball

 

[social]

Are those obvious reasons "they had to play exclusively two spinners turning the ball square while Warner and Head got fed pies by the quicks"?

Obvious to anyone that has watched plenty of cricket

I predicted that the approach of Smith and Marnus would lead to trouble & here we are

It’s called experience

 

[Cubiscus]

Low scoring tight games are the best

 

[loterry1994]

They better not bring Starc out next instead of Cummins

 

[Teja.]

At 133/3, Cricinfo gave SA a 2% chance

And what was that "approach" other than batting suddenly getting far harder?

 

[TT Boy]

Markram and Klaasen should be bowling after these two.

Equally though, the Maxwell approach showed the issues with smashing it. Really this is just very good bowling on a turning track and it needed excellent batting to see it through.

Head tried to smash his first ball from Maharaj. We can see how that went

 

[TimAngas]

Good job Inglis. Now for Smith not to lose his head against Shamsi.

 

[Anil]

No run rate pressure, Smith still out there, Australia will somehow get it done.

 

[Burgey]

Markram and Klaasen should be bowling after these two.

Doesn’t Miller bowl offies as well?

 

[Shri]

after smith asked people behind sightscreen to switch light off or sit down

 

[loterry1994]

The top 3 set the platform we knew they were going hard. The middle order continued to play like idiots.
When then required run rate was so low and they could of played without much risk but they wanna start reverse sweeping and that

 

[Sunil1z]

Smith won’t get , Would he ?

 

[Molehill]

I think Shamsi knackered himself in that celebration, he's been shite ever since.
