Discussion surrounding the 3rd Match of the World Cup between South Africa and Zimbabwe.

I'll create match threads 2 days out from each match.

Pull your socks up RSA....no upset please.

Im pretty excited about the Zimbos but dont think a first up match against their geographical rivals helps them at all.

More than 10,000 tickets already sold for this one apparently. I'm hoping it's at least not a total mismatch.

Yeah, same boat here. Just hope it's not a massive loss for Zimbabwe because I honestly believe they can sneak into the quarters gieven the squad they've picked.

So its either Behardien or Parnell at no.7 for Proteas.

"Farhaan Behardien underwent both batting and bowling fitness tests the day before the match after sustaining a back injury before the second warm-up match on Wednesday. South Africa will make a late call on his availability; they are keen to play him at No.7. AB de Villiers described it as a "difficult one," if Behardien has to be benched. That will leave South Africa with a choice between an extra specialist player or an all-rounder, with Wayne Parnell likely to be included. The rest of the XI should be as expected. "

I will be watching this game fairly closely. Zim had us at 157/7 before the rain intervened. Then they successfully, and with some ease, chased down 280 against SL. Let's see how they go against SA.

Zimbabwe winning this game would be the greatest thing ever.

This whole countdown fad really needs to stop immediately

 

[Zinzan]

I'm torn between wanting Zim to run through the SA top order & de Kock to ton-up for my WC draft points. Think I'd rather the former.

 

[Prince EWS]

Sigh, Kamungozi selected. I was really hoping that wouldn't happen. He's going to get belted.

 

[smash84]

yeah, would love zimbos to win here. Wishful thinking of course. This ain''t 99

Lol, it's only 10 seconds you need to mute for but yes, it is particularly lame.

I think you're forgetting the greatest countdown of all time.

I think you're forgetting the greatest countdown of all time.

Trying to sneak up on the haters.

 

[Athlai]

I suspected there would be more orange shirts out in force today. Didn't quite think it would literally be a quarter of the bloody crowd.

 

[Funky Goose]

De Kock indeed! C'mon, Zimbabwe!

 

[BeeGee]

Nice to get de Kock out early.

I take it all back, do countdowns for every session in a Test Match too
