Super Eight

[Jono]

Unbelievably stupid by Smith. Talk about feeling the pressure!

Ridiculous, there was only 6.5 overs gone at that time. No need for that stupidity.

 

[Pratters]

Unbelievably stupid by Smith.

Nothing unbelievable tbh.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Pretty average start from SA here, when Gibbs gets in he needs to inject a bit of life into the innings.

 

[Prince EWS]

South Africa seem to have performed worse and worse as the tournament has progressed. Dissapointing really, given the high hopes people had of their performances leading in.

 

[Steulen]

If he's fit enough to do that.

De Villiers looking to accelerate first, though.

 

[PhoenixFire]

I think the batting is their problem tbh. They don't have a player who will consistently score runs at a good pace, like Ponting, Pietersen, Chanderpaul, Styris, and others like that.

 

[Pratters]

Lara.

 

[Jono]

They're recovering now, looking good. Some great shots from both AB and Jaques.

 

[PhoenixFire]

The old man can still move.

 

[Hoppy1987]

Kallis (Just ouzes class)

Smith scores at a great pace, and is a better ODI batsman than Styris.

 

[Hoppy1987]

whens the 1st cw cricket match?

 

[Hoppy1987]

and its not as if kallis hangs about? or kemp!!

 

[PhoenixFire]

This is what annoys people about Kallis. He has proved that he is perfectly capable of maintaning a high strike rate (like now), but too often just doesn't. Quality player when he's in the flow though.

Consistensy was the key point as well.

 

[Jono]

Smith's more consistent than Styris too. He's just better.

 

[pup11]

South Africa= Overrated, so i am not least suprised to see them performing the way they have done in the WC.

I always have said their attack seriously lacks variety, and their batting also barring Smith and Kallis has looked below par.

 

[Jono]

Powell's figures do not do him justice, bowled much better than 0-34 from 6 overs.

 

[pasag]

Avatared.

Hmm, I guess Styris was stretching a bit. Smith > Styris. To be fair on Smith he has become much more consistent in recent times.
