GLuvsMtb Posted February 21, 2015 Share I am referring to the later stages of the world cup. Not now!So if we run into a rampant Starke or Southee on a seaming wicket, or Warner or McCullem simply play out of their skins to score 150 off 80? To be fair, on current form NZ and Aus looks much more like WC contenders than us. A home crowd is like an extra fielder in high pressure games. I'd like us to do well, but if we are beaten by a better side in a pressure game we should be mature enough to take it on the chin and move on. We can ill-afford to crucify our side if they end up losing to a better side. Do the basic well and we will give ourselves a decent chance.

Cricket is a funny game, its not always the best team that wins on the day and you need a few things going for you to reach the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxter Posted February 22, 2015 Share SA struggling to build pressure due to Parnell bowling. I just cant find it in me to like him, but hope he proves me wrong in this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canfan Posted February 22, 2015 Share I cannot understand why Parnell is in the team. He might be good at domestic level, but he just doesnt seem to be able to make that shift to the top level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil6 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Parnell is well below par. Where's Ryan McLaren?Excellent question. Parnell 9.44 avg per over. Pathetic. Steyn, Morkell and Tahir pulled it back for us. And AB, what a star! Amla and De Plessis must get us a good start and we can take this one easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieKnuckles Posted February 22, 2015 Share Doesn't look good - we need a big one from AB, JP and Miller.And De Kock needs to start pulling his weight too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanbean Posted February 22, 2015 Share Geez, Sa sports fans are pessimists. Parnell bowled poorly, but he got Dhawan out. 308 isn't a huge score considering the quality of our batters and India's bowlers. Oxter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie Posted February 22, 2015 Share Par score imo. Lets wait till both teams had a bat.Injury to Vern exposed the part timers. Behardien would have gone for even more, this was the best 11 for ths match.If our top 6 cant chase on this deck, we dont deserve to win the WC.

Christie Posted February 22, 2015 Share The moment got a bit big for some of our fielders, I hope the batsmen settle down. Good pressure test, this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted February 22, 2015 Share Oh oh, batting looks very scratchy, more run rate pressure building, not a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
