Vetplant Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 SL seems to think this is a T20 72/3.... Pretorius getting a couple of wickets to slow their progress.. maybe
Shebeen Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I will be very surprised if the proteas pull of a win! The ability is there, but they just seem out of touch with reality in this world cupthey don't become bad players overnight. ODI Series vs Sri Lanka in Feb/MarchWe won 5-0, absolutely smashed them. Closest game we still won by 6wickets, with 17 overs in the bag.https://www.espncricinfo.com/scores/series/18643/sl-in-sa-odis-2018-19 (this was after they gave us a bloody 2-0 nose in a suprise test series win)
leeubok Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Don’t anyone dare say it or suggest itProteas likely to win this? Seems like it was indeed a case of not being able to perform under pressure
bertusras Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 hahaha or bowl them out cheaply and win by 9 wickets (obviously hash will get out) Mntboy 1
babse Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 ???? Well hash didn't get out... Looked quite solid eventually.
Stretch Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) [emoji28] Well hash didn't get out... Looked quite solid eventually.The thing is... You're not the second fastest to get to 8000 runs for nothing.... Never underestimate a great player.... Maybe this is the innings he needed... Let's see what happens against Aus Edited June 29, 2019 by Stretch babse and Eddy Gordo 2
Vetplant Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 It still irks me to the Max that they only showed up after being completely eliminated from the race for the semi's bertusras and leeubok 2
gemmerbal Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Pakistan’s win today is REALLY putting the pressure on the Poms. They cannot afford to lose against India or NZ. Pakistan’s last game is against Bangladesh, if they win that game, the Poms cannot qualify for the semis! Interesting exchange between Bairstow and Michael Vaughn in the media. Lets see how the players respond now that the pressure is really on! I called it before the start of the WC. Home side pressure as well as being tagged as favourites will result in them not winning the WC. Its the nature of the beast i guess.
'Dale Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Hat trick!!!!Only saw now that JPD took a hat trick against the Lankans in a triangular series in Oz, 2015

I think it's got more to do with england's dismal WC record, but they are of course not gone yet!
Shebeen Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 what a ridiculous situation, ICC surely take the rap for this! https://manners-on-cricket.com/world-cup-radio-silence/
gemmerbal Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Yes the last 2 WCs were won by the home team, but we are talking about Oz and India, not England. My prediction stands, Poms wont win it. last two editions won by the home team. I think it's got more to do with england's dismal WC record, but they are of course not gone yet!
gemmerbal Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 I agree its ridiculous. But nothing stops any broadcaster to do what good old bankrupt SABC is doing and commentate while watching the tv feed. I know its hilarious but its better than nothing? Even though we have to listen to those clowns. what a ridiculous situation, ICC surely take the rap for this! https://manners-on-cricket.com/world-cup-radio-silence/
