SA were choking but West Indies were so bad that they were throwing it away again and again with basic mistakes. Poor match in terms of skill. But great theatre.

Saffers are 7 from 7 so deserved semi finalists
I still find it so wrong that had SA lost they would have been out despite winning 6 of 7 games, including beating England, but England are through with only 4 wins from 7 games (even WI won 5 of 7)

Turning point right at the end was Pooran and Rabada-

It was gonna be 11 off 7 as Chase bowled a dot to Rabada but Pooran spilled it and cost 2 byes.

11 off 7 may have forced Rabada to go the aerial route but 9 off 7 and a quiet word from Jansen and he hit it along the ground for four. Thats where SA won it imo.

That's just tournament sports, Portugal in Euro 2016 finished 3rd in the group stage and went on to win the tournament

Totally agree with you but tbh it's not just here.....its everywhere in cricket circles and I hate it. The most overplayed and irrelevant meme in cricket and it sucks, everyone that uses it sucks too.

Unjustified to SA and disrespectful to the teams that have beaten them in WC's
@DriveClub in case you didn't know. You suck.
