There must've been something good in those drinks, but it's a little too late to pull those fat fingers out of their asses.
 
Well, a few people around me have been saying this is a pretty difficult pitch to bat on.

If Miller gets his 100, or more, it could have been a lot worse.
 
The difference is that the Aussies have grit and BMT.
I am annoyed by how much respect we are showing for the part spinners. It is like we are sacred shitless.

If I was number one batsman in the world, and out there on 119/6, I would also be scared shitless!!
 
191/8

Just over 3 overs left.

Miller still there.
 
203 / 9.

Muller gets a 6 to get his century.

gets caught on next ball.
 
Final score. 212.

Well, our Batsman did their job!

Hope the bowlers can, too!
 
GG boys. If you want a good read to keep you entertained. Here is a snippet from Wikipedia :

South Africa, on the other hand, maintained their trend of choking or bad luck at the World Cup: in 1992 they had lost to England in the semi-finals when rain forced them to score 21 runs off the final ball, and in 1996 they had won all their group matches before losing to West Indies in the quarter-finals. The trend also went on to continue, as in 2003 as hosts, a Duckworth/Lewis miscalculation meant they tied Sri Lanka in their final group game at Kingsmead when victory would have seen them advancing to the Super Six. In 2015, they won their first knockout game against Sri Lanka and set co-host New Zealand a record World Cup knockout game chase target in their semifinal at Eden Park – and it might have been bigger had rain not shortened the South African innings – but miscues and the heroics of South African-born Grant Elliott undid them as New Zealand advanced to their first Cricket World Cup final.
 
Uh so. Tabraiz Shamsi just clean bowled Glenn Maxwell for 1. Aus on 141/5. Might be a game yet...
 
The Proteas only need 5 wickets in 61 runs to pull off a Springbok-style heist. I dare to hope

My hopes went up a tiny bit with the 5th wicket.

Maybe.. just maybe..

Aus could literally just sit there and block every ball. Runs will come.

We need wickets.

Right now its advantage Aus.

The shit part is, this shows our bowlers would've been able to defend a reasonable total. Just 30 more runs or so and things would be looking very different.
 
Ah well. We get another chance in 4 years.
 
Professional Chokers.
 
30 short in the end.
Bavuma should not have played; heck they should have bowled first!
In the end this is just an all-round disappointment.
 
Well deserved win Aussies

India had it too easy against NZ in semi's

Pat Cummings great Captain not like what we have over here

Like The Kiffness said to the Proteas

"Choke if you go woke"

Think I'm done with them as well.
