Best match of the tournament so far.

I'd rather SA win for Australia's sake but it's so hard to barrack for SA.

Good result for us, pinch NZ or England game and we're through.
Ump didn't want to decide the match but did just that. Not a terrible call either way IMO.

Even so we beat England and we're through.
If they lose the toss to NZ and India they're in trouble in the next two games.
If sl lose to India we probably don't even need to win england or kiwi game to get in might sneak in with 5 wins and better rr.
England aren't going to play poorly in all of their games.

What's that, 1 good game from 20?
The dullest WC I have watched.

Which is fine, IF there was no umpires call. I’m more and more coming around to the tech either saying out or not out, and nothing else. It will be insanely annoying for those skimming the edge wickets, but maybe it’s the lesser of two evils
Great call!
South Africa are so powerful with the bat, but all that hitting when it comes off turns in to 400, but wickets encourage the other team back in to the game and can get the lower order in a bind.
They only needed 70 off the last 20 overs with 6 wickets in hand, and 21 to win with 4 wickets in hand off 10 overs.
Lucky to escape, but are vulnerable chasing this type of score.

Even if England win every game from here (which they obviously won't), they still won't make finals.
You've been on this weird "Australia suck, England rule" vibe since three weeks before the world cup even started.
I don't understand it?
We're not locked into the semi finals just yet (but I reckon we are 97% of the way there) but England's tournament is completely done and dusted.

Last night proved that batting first against South Africa is a must (assuming you have a choice of course). They got away with it last night, but in a pressure cooker of a World Cup semi final, they might not be so lucky.

The format is dead.
High scoring ODIs will lead to that in future WCs.
