SA are my smoky to win it if they can pull it all together, which they generally don't, should win here though.

I think they can definitely get to a semi final.

 

[Gough]

I think they can definitely get to a semi final.

I just don't get the same thrill watching South Africa s*** the bed that I used to now that they're a genuinely multi racial team. I laughed for a week after the 92 game against England.

 

[Plugger35]

South Africa should win this but you can never underestimate their ability to choke in World Cups.

 

[Sprout]

These crowds are beyond a joke.

The Springboks don't shit the bed in Rugby World Cups. Their cricketers on the other hand....

The chokes tend to come later in ICC events though.

That tie in Durban between South Africa and Sri Lanka in the 2003 World Cup was pretty funny.

when they misread the DL calculation sheet?

when they misread the DL calculation sheet?

Yes.

 

[Plugger35]

A good partnership from QDK and VDD, setting up a good platform for the Saffers.

when they misread the DL calculation sheet?

I will never forget this shot of Shaun Pollock with his head in his hands when he realised he had stuffed up the D/L run rate calculation.

Another example of why you shouldn't make fast bowlers captain.

Any de Kock fans in chat?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Why did Cronje always look like he's won by accident.

 

[Mr Experience]

These crowds are beyond a joke.

Pathetic isn't it, and so are the excuses for them

 

[Santana]

Why did Cronje always look like he's won by accident.

Looked very disappointed by the win....

 

[Moonwatcher]

Crowd looks fine to me. 45 matches to hand over your money for.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Is there a formula for knowing which games will be free to air?

EDIT: Non Australian games of course.

Not many non Australian games

 

[Santana]

Sri Lanka's white ball teams have really fallen away the last decade haven't they

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not looking good for Sri Lanka and they're going to give a big NRR boost to SA.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Went to the correct end

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol a coat of varnish
