Semi Finals

So what if Watson doesn't bat, does that void the conditions?

Yeah, that'd be part of the "not out" condition. If he doesn't bat then won't get out.

Exactly.

So the betting agencies ignore this then ...


2006/07 West Indies (World Cup) SL 2 NZ 0 (prior to this morning 1 - 0)
2006/07 In New Zealand SL 2 NZ 2 No result 1
2006/07 In India (neutral Venue) SL 1 NZ 0
2005/06 In NZ SL 1 NZ 3

By your reckoning then England should have been extremely heavy favourites against Australia in this WC...

First time I've been accused of being a South African! That's another one I can add to my profile. For the record, I'm the decendant of a man who played in Australia's first test match - but you're right, it doesn't get much more South African than that.

Being part of the current England side?

Well played.

This better be good, I'm sacking off my dissertation which is in on Monday to listen to it.

 

[Prince EWS]

Why does whichever broadcaster is in charge of the overlays for this tournament continually list Andrew Hall below Andre Nel in the batting order? It's starting to get on my nerves.

 

[Scaly piscine]

The Witness wins the toss and bats.

South Africa win the toss and are going to bat first. Good for the game IMO>

 

[pasag]

Yeah, we get it

Good for the nerves, tbh.

 

[PY]

Haha, dunno what the hell happened then? 7 posts and only 3 unique ones.

 

[GGG]

Good luck to the South African members, not so much for you Aussies .

So is it duck soup or deer hunting tonight?

[nightprowler10]

Pidge pulls a Harmy..

 

[pasag]

Ooooooooooooooh

 

[PY]

Cracking decision.

With that much swing on offer, Bracken and McGrath should be the obvious choices.
