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

[Zinzan]

Just can't execute these two bowlers. The margins are small, but they're way off with almost every ball.

Weird captaincy this... bowling full with mid off up doesn't make any sense.

 

[biased indian]

atleast ABD has lost the touch

 

[Swingpanzee]

phew

 

[Athlai]

That is by far the funniest strong zone of ll time.

 

[Zinzan]

So we may well have to chase around 330 in 43 overs.. ouch.

 

[Flem274*]

never thought i'd say this but keep imzamam ul de villiers on strike

 

[straw man]

Now if Ross Taylor starts blocking and hitting straight to fielders today, well...I'll...I'll....

I think we can all feel this slipping away from us with some top batting by SA, but at the same time if we are going to chase it we DO NOT NEED TO HIT OUT EARLY. SA here, just like teams the whole tournament, survived the initial onslaught, scored slow and kept wickets in hand. We may not have ABDV but we have plenty of good hitters at the end, but we absolutely cannot afford to lose too many wickets early up top.

Baz thinks it's a test match

 

[OverratedSanity]

[Athlai]

Cracker of a comeback from Southee. But with Miller still in I fear for Corey.

 

[viriya]

[Contra]

Cricinfo said it'll be adjusted up to just 297 if SA gt 280

 

[Swingpanzee]
