[_Ed_]

This looked like it was going down leg live.

Karim Janat's FC avg is above 50 with a double century

 

[Arachnodouche]

Dampest of damp squibs this.

 

[King Kane]

That's a harsh lbw call, just clipping leg stump, Afghanistan don't need calls like that one when they are already struggling enough as it is.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Missing?

 

[Stefan9]

Shamsi gets two in his first over.

SA have won a lot of close games that have largely not mattered - they can undoubtedly choke in one of these when it does.

Be amazed if the tournament winner doesn't come out of the Guyana semi...

Beat Netherlands who were a bogey team, beat Nepal ,had they not done so would have finished in the much tougher Group A, beat USA who were on a high after knocking out Pakistan , beat West Indies who were the host nation and it was a must win game despite being unbeaten ..


Only match that didn't really matter was a poor England side who were somewhat lucky that their Scotland match was rained off, and we still needed to beat West Indies in the final match anyway.

Things don't seem to have got much easier for Afghanistan with spin coming on.

 

[King Kane]

Now another one that s umpire's call, looks like Illingworth wants an early finish.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This might have turned a bit to miss leg

 

[Burgey]

What a waste of a semi final spot. Even making SA look competent in an ICC knock out. What's the point of them?

Nortje wins the battle with rashid

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

They can't play pace. They can't play spin. What the **** are they good for?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Sending Australia home

 

[Son Of Coco]

That was a very ***y 8.

Possibly better than Quiney's 9?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Nokia fire

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Sending Australia home

Hazlewood, the malnowished teletubby, already did that early on in the tournament.

Nortje has been superb, written off before the tournament by many..Fast, Accurate, Lethal ..
Superbly complimented by Jansen and Rabada of course , and Baartman whenever he's played.
