1st Semi Final - New Zealand v South Africa (24th March)

[Niall]

ab choked big time! that runout would have sealed it! the black caps are going to win with 2 overs to spare now lol

I don't think we can say that for sure. Yeah it would have made South Africa favs, but Ronchi gun and all the bowlers can bat, and its not as if the pitch is a bowlers friend really.

It was poor from AB sadly though.

 

[JediNudist]

53 of 38 doable ?

 

[jonbrooks]

Anderson. Nice shot but heart in mouth shot.

 

[Prince EWS]

Philander not available when the pressure is on? Big ****ing surprise.

He's bowled out anyway assuming they see him as the fourth bowler.

 

[Spikey]

jeeez i cant believe that almost worked

 

[morgieb]

This is some partnership.

 

[cnerd123]

Almost had one there.

Luck going NZ's way.

What a partnership. ATG WC effort this from Elliot and Anderson

 

[straw man]

Struggling to score off ABDV is galling to say the least. Would love a boundary but wicket to wicket with the keeper up it would take a risk.

Edit: Except that wasn't wicket-to-wicket from ABDV

**** my pants when they cried catch

AB bowling himself now is a rare time its a good tactic. such good trolling.

If only AB didn't choke that runout, SA would be close to victory right now.

 

[Hurricane]

AB's dibbly dobblers are impossible to hit. That four was a bit flukey.

250 up with these two still in was my next target. Often the last 40 runs can come quite quickly

 

[Cabinet96]

Thought that was out for a second...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Goddammit heart in mouth when I heard "catch"

NZ still has Ronchi - not a guaranteed win but SA needed that for sure.

 

[GGG]

Come on, one big over

 

[Jarquis]

Had no idea who I wanted to win before the game but having watched a lot of this innings it has become clear it was SA

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Morkel seems the most dangerous here.

i need to piss but i can't leave the screen

I think it's very very hittable. But in this situation I think batsmen would be absolutely terrified of getting out to him of all people. I think it's quite brilliant in a way from AB.

No yorkers here...
