1st Quarter Final - South Africa v Sri Lanka (18th March)

[cnerd123]

It's all be soft dismissals so far hasn't it?

SA looked pumped.

This match seems like a good one to get drunk whilst watching.

All matches are good to get drunk whilst watching. That's like the whole point of watching cricket.

Tahir and Duminy bowling well is bad news for SA, if the pitch assists the spinners, then anything around 230-250 can be difficult against SL.

This is in the making of another rare epic ODI (providing Proteas don't choke).

 

[morgieb]

Listen to me very carefully Lanka, I have something to say.










You suck.

They'll still win though.

Tahir and Duminy bowling well is bad news for SA

Now that's a great example of CW over-analysis.

They should've sent down full tosses and long hops instead; would've made the pitch turn less in the second innings.

 

[cnerd123]

I don't get why SL would drop Sena. And is Herath not fit?

Odd team selection tstl.

One of my goals in life some day is to attend all five days of a test match and get plastered on the lawn all day.

Good luck if you believe SL spinners are gonna bowl better than Proteas spinners.

Better start working on your smuggling technique then, getting plastered at a game ain't cheap.

Knowing SA in WCs, they won't have to.

 

[anil1405]

Will the pitch and conditions assist seamers a bit more under lights?

 

[Shri]

The Steyn scream

 

[Jono]

is there a possibility that Sanga scores the slowest ODI ton in WC history? That'd be so awesome.

Not expecting it to be. I got plastered at an NHL game once (only local sport in my city worth attending really) and it cost me US$70. A 24 oz. beer at my local NHL arena costs $12.50 or something stupid like that.

I'm American so obviously I'm going to have to travel a very long way to be able to attend a test match, so the booze budget will actually be a pretty small percentage of what I end up paying to do so.

I've got the sound off, so can I assume that Dale Steyn was singing the closing bars of a big show tune there. Or perhaps Al Jolson's Mammy?

but smuggling is half the fun. Getting into the game becomes a thrilling experience on its own.

I sneak booze into NFL games all the time.
