Match #45- Super Eights, England vs South Africa(D), Darren Sammy Cricket Stadium, Saint Lucia-- June 21st- Group 2

[SillyCowCorner1]

Getting interesting. They need to bat out the 20 overs.

 

[Heboric]

Well take the wicket, but its like taking Alan Donalds wicket. How much do you actually celebrate

 

[number11]

Less confident now that Moeen did that.

 

[King Kane]

England's tactics of hitting the ball to South Africa's fielders isn't working out too well, they should try hitting it away from them.

 

[wpdavid]

Yeah, we are over-reliant on four batsmen tbh, and three of those have been and gone today.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Getting interesting. They need to bat out the 20 overs.

Even a 'Gavaskar 75 WC final' innings would be better than crumbling in a heap.

 

[silentstriker]

So when we beat England on Sunday, England is out?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Even a 'Gavaskar 75 WC final' innings would be better than crumbling in a heap.

Last thing they need is their NRR taking a hit.

 

[BazBall21]

Win all but gone. They need to bat the overs and make sure they don't lose badly here. Nrr could be in play later.

 

[silentstriker]

Harry will take us home

He can fly an airplane?

 

[MW1304]

Yeah this is the exact sort of game that shows up the weaknesses in this team. Soft underbelly that doesn't cope with non-flat pitches.

160 looking well above par tbh, did we misread the pitch?

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Baartman has got that niggly, difficult to get away, Ian Harveyness about him.

Game trier in the field too. Great prospect for SA.

Edit: Even at 31.

Maybe we didn't make best use of the bowlers we had out there. No overs from Livingstone is looking like a mistake.

 

[BazBall21]

Accurate bowling on sluggish decks like this in T20 is a big challenge for batsmen. Especially when chasing.

Wood though unfortunately will always bowl some trash due to such a wild action. 0-22 off 2. SAF bowlers been on the money on a helpful surface.

Brook about to deliver the innings of the tournament here.
