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

[Andyhere]

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

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

Or if their dumb captain would've brought on Maharaj and shamsi before head was served freebies and half the target was chased down.

 

[Darwin Award]

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

... If Smith departed this very second would you have entire faith or the rest of the group easily taking it home?

 

[Spark]

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.

I mean it's had its issues and it hasn't been especially calm or controlled until these two but I'm sure glad they whacked off half the total before the two specialist spinners came on

 

[Andyhere]

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

If he had brains they wouldn't be in the position. I have no seen any worse captain than this fool.

He is busy competing with Babar and Buttler for the worst captain of the tournament award.

Watson

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by his technical commentary. Think finch is good too. Would rather eat my own vomit than listen to Hayden though

It would be interesting but I still have faith on SA to give it away like that have for the larger part of this game.

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.

I don't think anyone other than India is favourite for the final. The groundsman might not have a job if they lose to a fast bowling nation at home.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Markram perennially underrated with the ball. Should have got more overs out of him

 

[Shri]

this ****ing stupid

just bowl spin all the way through

Surely you'd think the pitch on Sunday will be the roadiest road to ever road given the general approach they've taken to this WC. The most realistic way they can lose IMO is if they get their top order blown away somehow.

 

[morgieb]

Shamsi pretty much has to bowl now. It's already getting close to too late.

Yes, his analysis on the game is on par with Ricky. I really admire that from him...and plus he's a smooth talker. Bonus.

how its a good decision if its nicked the thighs

 

[Jfry]

Smith now averaging 113 in WC knock-outs

 

[Andyhere]

He is busy competing with Babar and Buttler for the worst captain of the tournament award.

I think he beats them easily. Babar atleast scored some runs.

 

[loterry1994]

Yeah a Rabada hat trick the only hope

Like vs Eng or Aus?

You could say the same about Junior Shah.

Worst captaincy since "we'll have a bowl" in 2005.
