***Official***Semi-Final #2- South Africa vs Australia - November 16th - Eden Gardens, Kolkata (D/N)

That would have got out any of India's top order.

Honestly SA doing well to stay in this like they are. This is the proper WC final right here no matter what juiceless piece of trash the BCCI tailor out as a 'wicket' on Sunday.

lol Stop smoking whatever your smoking

Australia are inevitable in world cups.

[GIMH]

Miller 150 incoming

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

all those four hundreds…

 

[DriveClub]

Starc and haze should bowl out here

 

[Neil Young]

Crikey.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Do you go for it and bowl these two for another or even a couple more?

 

[Daemon]

Miller going at 400. Not sure why the others are struggling so much.

 

[loterry1994]

Do you go for it and bowl these two for another or even a couple more?

yeah might not even last 35 overs this

 

[Burgey]

Reckon MMarsh is gonna bowl a few overs today

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Starc and haze should bowl out here

I'd see about 8, might be getting tired then so can hold a couple back.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Bavuma should declare here and let his quicks have a crack in these conditions.

 

[Molehill]

So what happens if it rains and it's reduced to 20 overs a side? These two will have bowled well over their allotted overs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

First bits of luck for SA those last 2 balls.

imagine It doesn’t get to 20 overs

 

[morgieb]

Yeah this looks pretty dire. Gotta get 200. If you get dicked for like 120 or so there’s no scoreboard pressure at all and a quick start chasing realistically ends it in 8 overs

The worst thing is that there's not even someone who can bat through an innings either. With Markram or van der Dussen you'd probably look to go slow for 15 overs until the situation recovers and then start to accelarate once the bowling dies down. Here the batters left are all dashers. Would require a seriously ATG knock or spell for SA to get back in it.

 

[stephen]

How long since Starc bowled a 7 over spell in ODIs?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Good test for highway riders Miller and Klaasen

 

[Gnske]

Roger Binny will be making sure some groundsmen start falling off tall buildings if the Final wicket on Sunday is anything like this.

I'd call in sick if I was working at the Modi Fascism Centre of Excellence

 

[Darwin Award]

Starc again.... now hits over 60 wickets taken at a World Cup.

2 heavy hitters in now and if they go cheaply South Africa are well & truly screwed.
