25th Match - New Zealand v South Africa

[Moss]

That was as bad as Boult's drop, though I suppose the no ball makes him less culpable.

 

[Heboric]

SA acting like what they are famous for. Chokers

And Miller have been poor in fielding in this WC. Looks like NZ will win. SA have so many chances but couldn't take them.

Come on Morris...one more

Cool story bro.

 

[trundler]

SA have played some terrible cricket and don't deserve to qualify. I'll say the same about WI and Pakistan. Come on Bangers. Eliminate the crims.

 

[MW1304]

South Africa doing that classic thing of looking a bowler and a batsman light with this team. No sixth bowling option is a killer.

 

[artvandalay]

Yea in a game when only one batsman has scored more than a run a ball, a leaky tap like andile is what is going to kill whatever chance you have of defending this score. Even boult and Henry could win this from here hypothetically with some chancy inside and outside edges for 4.

 

[trundler]

Well I already said it, You can't save your best bowlers now. Andile has won it for them now.

Faf should've taken a clue from Finch. Bowl your best bowlers when you need wickets. Saving them for a hopeless defence at the death is futile.

 

[Moss]

South Africa's best hope is probably if KW eats up a bunch of dots here, and they can build pressure around that. He looks mentally exhausted, this innings has must have called for great reserves of concentration.

 

[hendrix]

man Williamson has been scratchy for about 10 overs now

 

[Moss]

Top over from Morris here so far.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This might actually get tight if they get cdg. Williamson's timing has looked completely off for a long while and I don't think he quite has a boundary in him if NZ desperately end up needing one.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Damn that ruined the over. Fantastic knock by the great man.

 

[Moss]

Well played CdG! One of his better innings for sure, even did a decent job of keeping Tahir out. Shot selection has been very good and more importantly helped his skipper out.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well done CDG. Only his 2nd ODI 50.

 

[weldone]

CDG must be the most inconsistent cricketer around: God-mode one day puppy-mode the next

 

[trundler]

Sir Colin - king of the hackfrauds, leader of the golden armed trundlers and lord of the bashers. That last 4 was great but every six he's hit looks like it was out of an 80s sitcom.

 

[weldone]

Stop the boundary at least Rabada!

 

[Moss]

Can't believe this. Was a verrrry tough chance though. Can't South Africa catch a break?

 

[SteveNZ]

Goodness me that sums it up

 

[Member Berry]

ffs south africa how many more half chances do you need

 

[OverratedSanity]

****ing hell
