World Cup Game 53 1st Semi Final South Africa v Afghanistan June 27 1000hrs @ Brian Lara Cricket Academy Trinidad and Tobago

[Plugger35]

Rabada bowling Ibrahim.

Things going from bad to worse for Afghanistan, they badly need a partnership.

 

[NYRB]

This is a horror batting wicket for me for a semi-final.

 

[akkaps]

shambles

 

[NYRB]

Rabada double strikes in his first over.

Afghanistan 20/4 off 22 balls.

 

[NYRB]

And the thing is, Afghanistan have a long tail...........it starts at 8 for me.

 

[akkaps]

Australia would be spewing right now

 

[Plugger35]

Now Rabada bowling Nabi too.

Great bowling but it isn't a great pitch, it looks too much in favour of the bowlers.

 

[akkaps]

Send in Rashid, he needs to learn to anchor a T20 side

 

[Gough]

No shame in getting out to that ball from Rabada.

 

[NYRB]

For a semi final wicket, there are a few amount of cracks in it.

Not large cracks but small cracks throughout the whole wicket.

It's going to be an early night's work for SA by the looks

Jansen is a nightmare to face on this wicket because the odd one is zipping up from nowhere, and quite a few are keeping low.

 

[Gough]

When South Australians hear about KG bowling completely different images are conjured.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hope they get rolled for 60

Go South Africa

Least worst winner

 

[NYRB]

Jansen gets a 3rd inside the powerplay. And you'd be tempted to give Jansen a 4th consecutive over here.

Afghanistan 23/5 off 30 balls.

 

[Plugger35]

Afghanistan 5 wickets down after 5 overs, this looks like being a short match.

 

[NYRB]

Numbers straight out of a phone directory for Afghanistan right now : 0 2 9 5* 0 2 0*

What a shame lol

 

[NYRB]

Thats a horror shot from Omarzai given the game situationm.

 

[Plugger35]

Omarzai picking out the fielder.

Rashid in now, he needs to play a captain's knock.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thats a horror shot from Omarzai given the game situationm.

No it’s not we want them rolled surely

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistan 28/6 off 39 balls.

Rashid Khan is no mug with the bat but Afghanistan need a minimum of 90 runs to be competitive here.

I’d rather a Nortje hatrick

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistans grand final was against Australia. Looked like the way they celebrated and spoke that was the game for them.
