The CWC Thread

[Divan85]

So we definitely playing Aussies in the semi's, they are the only team that can catch / pass us on the log and no one can catch them so it will be

1. India
2. SA /Aus
3. Aus / SA
4. NZ / Pak / Afg

Semi's:
1. India vs NZ / Pak / Afg
2. SA vs Aus

Unless I am missing something?

Kinda hoping Pakistan makes the semi final against India as they probably the only team that can knock them out. Although NZ has the best NRR of those 3 teams so probably favorites to go through.

They should've aired this game on Comedy Central instead.

Maybe he's pulling a Boeta Dippenaar (think 438 game)

At this rate, it's going to be a 38 game.

Chokers

maybe 38 was a bit generous

 

[StangV2_0]

24 / 4... wtf

 

[Marcell1992]

I guess the SA cricket team is into BDSM. They like choking.

 

[ReFresHZA]

What the fuck are we watching......

a comedy show apparently.

Let's get the protea scented Vaseline ready boys, we need it

Well, If I saw the score and not knowing what it was, I would have said Rugby at 22 - 3.

 

[Reegz]

Jeepers man. Not even a hint of fight. The body language at the start of the game already whiffed of defeat.
Many many many levels beyond disappointment.

 

[ReFresHZA]

Such fucking disapointment..

Play stopped due to rain. Could be a blessing for us.

a blessing is the only thing that can save them now

 

[Marcell1992]

Only to lose to India in the final scoring 50 runs all out

 

[StangV2_0]

Play starting again in 10 minutes.

I haven't watched WC cricket since 99 when fucking Klusner started the long choke.
I was celebrating the win with 4 balls to go and then that happened and I was in denial for a few days after that.
Haven't watched a WC game since.

If he had just got that run, my life would have taken a much better route.
I blame him to this day . If I had the chance I would Lance him.

For once we may agree on something.

 

[Reegz]

Yeah nah yeah, mate.

 

[Mantis]

run rate 3.11... why did bavuma even play?

he was sick most of world cup or injured

anyone else from bench would have been better for our batting lineup

Worth noting... Aus were 68/4 at 17 overs in that game.

 

[StangV2_0]

Yeah we in trouble..

119/5.

Sorry. Another one. 119/6..

I don't have to watch. I can just follow this thread until its painful but predictable ending.
We won the RWC, so am not bovvered,

 

[StangV2_0]

Media going to absolutely tear into Bavuma when we lose.

He admitted before the game that he not 100% fit but will have to put in a good performance.

What I will say, is at least we are growing and developing as a team.

In the past our batting always used to collapse while chasing. Now, we are also learning how to collapse while batting first.

It's important to be able to perform consistently in different scenarios.
