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

[Adorable Asshole]

The required RR is even slower than that

Run rate is not a factor at all

It's not about rr. On a pitch like that if you are defending too much you are just letting bowler getting upperhand and then you will try to score runs of a good ball and get out.

 

[TimAngas]

Agree that he should bowl the spinners out. Need wickets now.

 

[Burgey]

lol inglis averaging 15 vs pace since 2019. How is he a WACA?

 

[Daemon]

Done it over 90k times now

**** I hate it when you type out a post and by the time it’s done it’s redundant lol

Yep, on pitches like this, you need to attack with some measure atleast. Look at Travis Head

 

[Spark]

I'm sorry but this is garbage. This is long hop length

 

[Daemon]

Bring Rabada on surely, this fella ain’t it

Sure but the issue is that this isn't a Test, you can't just plug the spinners in and leave them for a session. Maharaj and Shamsi are almost done.

 

[Andyhere]

SA have some great players but it's a horrible team. Reason horrible captain, who made this fool a captain.

 

[Darwin Award]

51 runs needed to win now.

I daresay another 25 runs or so and Australian dressing room will probably feel safe.

 

[slowfinger]

these two have steadied the ship beautifully.

India are going to absolutely demolish the winner of this contest though so not looking forward to that

They probably feel safe right now. It's not like they are 9 down

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's a walk in the park for Australia here.

 

[King Kane]

This looks too easy again now.

Time to give Rabada or Jansen another crack to see if they produce a Shami like spell.

Yeah this was a 250 pitch. They really won this test in the first 10 overs. But the batting from Aussies has not been good.

 

[Burgey]

Is that Finch or Watto on comms now? Made a good point about inglis staying really low since he’s been in. Not so sold on doing a load over him yet though. Batting well but he’s on 16 ffs

 

[Shri]

man if SA had got 250 this would have been way more tense

or if they hadn't dropped 4 ****ing catches

Only one team deserves to win the world cup and the entire world knows what team that is.
Australia winning final would actually be an upset, as weird as it sounds.

If Bavuma wants pace from the other end, why not Rabada? Five overs left yet and it's now or never territory.
