Stretch Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Parnall did good... Tahir once again did well... And finally at least two batsmen put on big scores. Amla doubters can now go eat humble pie. I think we putting too much pressure on steyn for the final over.. He got a bit knocked around last night in his final over Edited March 30, 2014 by Stretch
Christie Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Great win by SA - plus they are building lots of guts by "anti-choking" several times in a row. Could this be the end of that era?Super result yesterday, to win despite bowling second. Winning the toss was probably worth 30runs. For once our batting fired, and we had enough runs. Our team is loaded with batting super stars, of which very few have fired so far. Two of them fired yesterday, when that happens I think we will win 90% of the time. If 3 or 4 fire, we will be unbeatable. A superb bowling effort with the wet ball from the bowling unit - even Dale struggled with gripping the ball, Tahir was outstanding. (The no-ball against Morkel was a shocker, poor not to check with the 3d ump first. ) I hope we can play without a dew factor from here on in.Imo they have the right team combination now, just do a streight swap of Faf for Behardien (lucky he did not bat yesterday) Cellar and Ceres 2
GLuvsMtb Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah, stiff fine Firecracker of a game tonight against the English.Death bowling remains a challenge.Batters were awesome!! Amla, AB were main protagonists.Always a challenge when you have to bowl with a bar of soap! Great to klap the smug poms onto the plane home after they play Netherlands.
Joeboy69 Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Faf will obviously come back in. Is there merit in dropping a bowler for him to keep fudgie? Hensricks and Lopsy proves expensive, so if we are facing spinning wickets we may get away with Faf/Fudge bowling a bit?
'Dale Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 So impressed by TahirGlad he's brought the BMT and his magic skills.
dev null Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 AB showed what can be done when a player plays for his country with passion. He was everywhere. They shut me up convincingly after I pegged them not to reach the last 4. And Miller may not come off much with his batting, but his fielding is very good. Stretch 1

Miller is now due a big innings too Mr Winter 1
JGR Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Ab is on another level, both with bat and fielding. The guy was everywhere and putting his body on the line to save even just one run. I think if he shows that type of application he should become test captain.
GLuvsMtb Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 and the Aussies is also going home after their 4th qualifier later this week. That's 2 out of the 3 Boardroom Bullies taken care of in this tournament... Ceres 1
'Dale Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 and the Aussies is also going home after their 4th qualifier later this week. That's 2 out of the 3 Boardroom Bullies taken care of in this tournament... Like Ceres 1
babse Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 and the Aussies is also going home after their 4th qualifier later this week. That's 2 out of the 3 Boardroom Bullies taken care of in this tournament... and looks like we'll have a chance to take care of the 3rd bully in the semis... def wont bet my house on that outcome! Mr Winter and GLuvsMtb 2
Shebeen Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 and the Aussies is also going home after their 4th qualifier later this week. That's 2 out of the 3 Boardroom Bullies taken care of in this tournament...and the Dutchies are giving bully #2 a snotklap right now.Chasing 133 - they need 75 off 7 overs, four wickets in hand. bangers and mash anyone?
hopefield Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I cannot see England win this one : England require another 58 runs with 2 wickets and 25 balls remaining
Stretch Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Netherlands win by 45 runs...I LOVE IT! dracs and GLuvsMtb 2
JGR Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Netherlands win by 45 runs...I LOVE IT!KP laughing is arse off
Christie Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 First Aus choked, and today NZ had a meltdown against spin. We are looking waaaay more classy than other teams not from Asia. Regardless of what hapens, I think we gave it a good bash already. The next two games will be a massive challenge, facing India on the slow turner that sunk Australia, and after that SL/Pak/Wi.
