[Silly Mid On]

If we keep going we will boost our NRR nicely

Another South Africa choke.

Any chance starc and Hazelwood bowl the first 20?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

yeah right so this is a repeat of the Gabba test

 

[Zevon]

Heavy overhead conditions and the ball nibbling around beautifully. Didn’t realise this game had been moved to Headingley.

 

[HK_Hawk]

This performance might just make the Indians a little nervous...

 

[BACCS]

Have removed all their key batsmen outside of Klaasen, brilliant! Great captaincy to keep the slips in after the PP too

 

[The_Todd07]

Turned on the game as Hazelwood let go of that delivery.
Not a bad timing

 

[JimmyBC]

Good god the South Africans are like Port in a prelim.

 

[Gift]

lololol

 

[Borough Blood]

There’s just something so special about seeing South Africa poop the bed in Cricket World Cups.

 

[eddiesmith]

This is some ordinary cricket by South Africa, there been the clear 2nd best team as well, this is why I like a 1st v 2nd - winner to GF, loser plays winner of 3rd and 4th system.

This year probably had more merit as everyone played everyone else once, no group stages, but being at the mercy of the weather gods, 2nd May finish ahead of 3rd due to a washout.

Semi finals are about sorting out the minnow bashers from the teams who can perform under pressure

LOLOL

 

[Around the Wicket]

Good toss to lose, Bavuma is crap as it is and he admitted at the toss not being fit lol.. absolute madness.

 

[doggies ftw]

One of the great SF s**t the beds of all time from SA here

They’ve obviously been poor but our bowling and more importantly fielding has been absolutely top class. Can’t take anything away from that, the pressure built in the field is absolutely immense, we’re impenetrable at the moment and it’s the sole reason for all these wickets really

 

[Andronicus]

Balls.

 

[BACCS]

**** nearly a golden!

 

[Mr Meow]

This isn't the time you want Klaasen coming in if you are a South African fan, he is more a Maxwell cream on the cake type of player.

This is still test match bowling conditions like a gloomy first session in England where the ball moves around all over the place until lunch.

Yesterday was sunny wasn't it?

 

[Santana]

Indian freckles winking in real time. Dead pitch incoming.

Bison triple ton coming up

 

[Moonwatcher]

Rain. At least DLS won't be favourable for SA

 

[Kapow!!!]

You just know South Africa will put on a decent score here still....

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Good god the South Africans are like Port in a prelim.

Do they want hinkley
