Rusty > Tait

Weather conditions

SA were never in any danger of being bowled out by pretty average opposition but pace/bounce went out of pitch and that made scoring hard

 

[kingpin]

well CSK vs Warriors,Who will win this time????

 

[akilana]

Warriors, one of the weakest batting line ups, did well to reach the final. Looking forward to the final.

Sour grapes much?

There are many adjectives you could use to describe the Warriors, but average is not one of them. I'm biased, being from PE, but even objectively speaking.

Tait vs Bollinger will decide the final

 

[TT Boy]

If anything South Australia were punching above their weight considering it was through the likes of Pollard and Afridi that they did well domestically. Outside Tait their bowling attack is mundane and their two spinners of club quality. Don't think many people expected them to get this far. Victoria on the other hand...

I agree. SA bowled and fielded incredibly well and they were in no way outplayed by a superior side.

expecting classic SA choke.....

I could of sworn Tsotsobe was quicker when I last saw him bowl in Australia a couple of seasons back. He was barely hitting the 130s in this game.

He was able to hit 140-145 kph before his injury. He mixes his pace a lot more. Bowls a lot of cutters. His stock delivery is between 130-135 kph.

Mate, you only need a cursory look at their lineups to know that the Warriors AND SA are 2 pretty average sides

Don't recall him being much quicker, tbh. Definitely looks quicker than he is, tbh, which is probably more important.

Made a whole bunch of bets on this match. Check for rage tomorrow morning.

Nah, I definitely remember him having some decent wheels when he debuted in Australia last year. Just looking at the commentary of that game on cricinfo his sixth ball which was bowled to Ponting was timed at 143.6ks. Admitally I didn't remember him being that quick but he was definitely high 130's that game.

Haha, I can't believe I'm watching this final, for some reason it appeals to me a lot more than World T20. Murali and Ashwin with some great spells just now. You'd think Chennai will reach the target, but we'll see.
