I'll be the first to stamp my ticket on the boat to Australia after this. I went to bed after the first innings and had given up hope.Though in the words of my favourite movie “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies.” I knew they could do it somehow. I guess the question now is how far can we go?
And yeah Selena Gomez was a good pick for Bahnz avatar. It feels like we are watching one of those emotional moments in Wizards of Waverly Place.
Not that i would know anything about wizards of waverly place. I don't watch it.......

To the people who say that we wouldn't be as harsh if India/Aus/England - if they're 2/120 chasing 220 on a pitch which is no minefield, and then collapse to 172ao, then we'll see. People were pretty harsh on India after 9/29 but in terms of a bottling this takes the cake by far.
WTF was JP doing? WTF was Faf doing running about ABdV? Kallis's shot was pretty average as well, the situation was perfect for a 90 ball 60-odd.

Agreed. He's often (rightly) criticized for being far too defensive, but last night it was almost like having Fleming back.

It's a quote from the Dylan Thomas poem "Do not go gentle into that good night". It was written whilst his father was dying and is all about fighting to the bitter end even when death is imminent.

What makes it even more crazy is that he hit it to the best fielder on the field. But I suppose that's what pressure can do.

I don't understand SA not giving either Ingram or Tsotsobe an extended run after they prepared them to play in the WC matches for at least six months before the WC started. They played players like Faf instead of Ingram who didn't have much game time before the tournament and Botha who was clearly out of form instead of Tsotsobe who is in good form. David Miller had done a reasonable job for SA prior to the world cup and they could have picked him in the squad ahead of Van Wyk. Picking a back up keeper is pointless in this WC when you can just easily call a replacement if the regular keeper gets injured. I know its all in hindsight but we can only connect the dots looking back.

Sounds like pretty much the same criticisms of our squad policy tbh.

Very appropriate.
