[Burgey]

Boys are on here. Came to play.

Huge moment. Brain fade by QDK

 

[quincywagstaff]

Will SA reach their score from the 2007 SF?

 

[Burgey]

For the neutrals its good that SA batting first. They would have collapsed in heap batting second here in kolkata

Welp

 

[StephenZA]

That was just foolish from QDK...

... at least all hope is gone now!! Nice and early so small mercies.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Thats some serious bad shot given the circumstances here

That's Geraint Jones in 2005 ashes bad that one.

All over red rover for SA, Ind vs Aus final

 

[Kraken]

That’s what pressure does bra. 2 proud new south Welshman combining. You love to see it

 

[slowfinger]

this is really sad !! South Africa need to show a bit of fight now

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Fairweather burgey on full flow here

 

[Molehill]

Kind of sums up SA's luck, win a toss in a semi final and end up giving perfect bowling conditions to the Aussies.

They need to borrow some from the rugby team.

I was about to make this same point... his one big asset is to save runs with his fielding, and that he can't do while crocked.

I don’t rate Bavuma but he’s got a very good odi batting record

 

[King Kane]

Not a great shot from QDK but the pressure was building on them so he had to try something to break the shackles.

 

[loterry1994]

Losing the toss did absolute wonders

 

[Spark]

Never mind the toss, you can't be playing a shot like that in a WC semi final at 8/1

Haha way too early to throw in the towel. There is plenty in this for Jansen and Rabada to exploit. Just need a score with a 2 infront of it

 

[Darwin Award]

Early days but surreal to think after 30 years after readmission South Africa still might not have made a cricket World Cup final.

Need to draw inspiration from the rugby union players.

And with De Kock's dismissal it effectively pretty much guarantees Kohli as the final leading run scorer for the tournament.

That's the face of realisation that they're losing another knockout

Be real interesting to see what Klaasen and Miller do if they knock over one more quickly. Very different situation to anything else they've been presented in this tournament
