farawaysaint Posted 6 March, 2011 Posted 6 March, 2011 could be close - SA just lost 3 wickets for no run - 125-6 I love being South African right up until we choke chasing a meager total again
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2011 Posted 6 March, 2011 How the f**k did England manage that ???? What balls.
farawaysaint Posted 6 March, 2011 Posted 6 March, 2011 On a side note I hate being South African. F***ing choking loser c*nts
dubai_phil Posted 6 March, 2011 Posted 6 March, 2011 I love being South African right up until we choke in the semis yet again. Quick quick - Somebody get round to faraway's place - he's a yarpie & needs the Heimlich Manouvere or he'll choke Well we didn't see that coming (expecially as I don't have it on the telly - lol)
Hatch Posted 6 March, 2011 Posted 6 March, 2011 Crikey. Not like England to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
LGTL Posted 6 March, 2011 Posted 6 March, 2011 Without England this WC would have been a pile of sh*t.
Jimmy_D Posted 6 March, 2011 Posted 6 March, 2011 Well you can't accuse this England team of playing boring cricket... I'm not sure I can take watching this England team AND Saints promotion race...
Appy Posted 6 March, 2011 Posted 6 March, 2011 Without England this WC would have been a pile of sh*t. This. We are making it very interesting.
keithd Posted 7 March, 2011 Posted 7 March, 2011 Yeah so the whole tournament is on pitches that turn miles and favour the spinners and we take Yardy who has totally lost form since the ODI's in Aus. Look at the SA line up 7 bowlers used and loads of tweakers. Just felt we are too rigid in our best team concept in these tournaments (look how long it took to drop Colly) as well as being burnt out from the Ashes. Luckily we'll now get knocked out by WI and won't have to worry about it call the feds, alpine has hacked into dubai's account...! what the above said, this world cup has been pretty standard fayre to date with the exception of the england games woot and all that
Hatch Posted 7 March, 2011 Posted 7 March, 2011 Morgan in to replace the crocked KP. Pretty good move to get Morgan in I reckon. Probably our best OD player.
badgerx16 Posted 8 March, 2011 Posted 8 March, 2011 NZ have just scored 114 off the last 6 overs vs Pakistan, including 30 off one over from Razzaq.
Lets B Avenue Posted 8 March, 2011 Posted 8 March, 2011 LOL at Pakistan. Especially the cheating sh it of a keeper, Kamran Akmal. Drops Ross Taylor twice in 3 balls before he had scored. Goes on to get 131*. NZ score 100 off the last 5 overs.
OldNick Posted 8 March, 2011 Posted 8 March, 2011 LOL at Pakistan. Especially the cheating sh it of a keeper, Kamran Akmal. Drops Ross Taylor twice in 3 balls before he had scored. Goes on to get 131*. NZ score 100 off the last 5 overs. perhaps they had a bet on Taylor scoring a shedload, lol
chrisobee Posted 8 March, 2011 Posted 8 March, 2011 Stuart Broad to miss rest of WC due to injury. Meanwhile Vettori has suffered a knee injury that sounds bad. Still Pakistan 73/6 and slipping away fast.
Lets B Avenue Posted 8 March, 2011 Posted 8 March, 2011 Stuart Broad to miss rest of WC due to injury. Meanwhile Vettori has suffered a knee injury that sounds bad. Still Pakistan 73/6 and slipping away fast. Presumably, Chris Tremlett will get a call-up.
chrisobee Posted 9 March, 2011 Posted 9 March, 2011 Yep, it is Tremlett. The obvious replacement and he should be reasonably fresh: http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/current/story/504764.html Meanwhile Imran Tahir has fractured his left thumb but is expected to continue playing : http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/current/story/504997.html
keithd Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 ticking along nicely at 4 an over against the might of bangladesh. fingers crossed we can reach 180 and give them something to think about....
keithd Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 not got a live link, is the pitch slow and unpredictable? are they bowling out of their skins? spinning massively? wtf is happening?!?
farawaysaint Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Quick quick - Somebody get round to faraway's place - he's a yarpie & needs the Heimlich Manouvere or he'll choke Well we didn't see that coming (expecially as I don't have it on the telly - lol) Cough looks like SA aren't the only chokers this WC cough
dubai_phil Posted 11 March, 2011 Posted 11 March, 2011 Cough looks like SA aren't the only chokers this WC cough That wasn't choking that was sheer mental staleness. Prior's dismissal was a schoolboy error. After 5 months of living in hotels the only two players who looked like they could play the game were the totally mad obssessive Trott & the fresh Morgan. Still the nightmare's nearly over they'll soon be home

Still the nightmare's nearly over they'll soon be home Yes, the batting was mental staleness but at 160 odd for 8 Bangladesh should have been dead and buried... Enter Jimmy Anderson with 5 wides off his first ball into the attack, as the bowling side when the going got tough England seemed to give up at the end of the Bangladeshi innings.
farawaysaint Posted 12 March, 2011 Posted 12 March, 2011 Not that anyone seems to be following this thread anymore but SA do a good job limiting India to under 300 when a massive score looked on the cards.
SO16_Saint Posted 12 March, 2011 Posted 12 March, 2011 Not that anyone seems to be following this thread anymore but SA do a good job limiting India to under 300 when a massive score looked on the cards. massive collapse there. from 267/1 to 296 all out
Sherminator Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 England v WI England 243all out. Probably about a par score - need to get Gayle asap.
Nellie Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 I suspect this is going to come down to the first ten over powerplay. If Gayle gets in, we're stuffed. Open with Tremlett and Swann/Tredwell, hope the spin or bounce can get Gayle. The West Indies batting doesn't look too clever, a few early wickets could leave them with a testing run chase. Oh, and bang it in against Pollard like Cork did in the twenty20. He doesn't look too comfortable facing short pitched bowling.
norwaysaint Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Well Gayle has faced 16 balls and hit 7 fours and a six, I think he wants to finish up quickly.
Nellie Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Out now, thank goodness. Five more overs of that and we were on our way home.
Nellie Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 except Sammy is now off on one. Must get him out. As you wish. West Indies now 118-5. Just two recognised batsmen left, Sarwan and Pollard, then the tail. Got fancy England now, although they were in a similar position against Bangladesh and made a horlicks of it.
Hatch Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 (edited) 6 down. Most teams would win from here, but This is England. Edited 17 March, 2011 by Hatch
Window Cleaner Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 As you wish. West Indies now 118-5. Just two recognised batsmen left, Sarwan and Pollard, then the tail. Got fancy England now, although they were in a similar position against Bangladesh and made a horlicks of it. In fact England have made a complete horlicks of their entire world cup campaign anyway. The W Indies went for quick runs first to ease the pressure on the middle order who'd been held back and it seems to have worked.
Sherminator Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 222/7 - Russell is gone, but I think the damage is done. Sarwan is good enough to see them home from here.
Hatch Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 222/7 - Russell is gone, but I think the damage is done. Sarwan is good enough to see them home from here. OUT! 8 down. 20 or so needed.
mack rill Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Kin-ell we looked dead and buried there what a game YES!
Son of Bob Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Unfortunately it's all for nothing as I doubt SA will be trying too hard against Bangladesh! Can't imagine why?
OttawaSaint Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Unfortunately it's all for nothing as I doubt SA will be trying too hard against Bangladesh! Can't imagine why? Doesn't matter, as long as India win, England are into the next round. BOTH Bangladesh and WI have to win to edge England out...
Dark Munster Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Kin-ell we looked dead and buried there what a game YES! Well you certainly know all about that, Mack.
SO16_Saint Posted 18 March, 2011 Posted 18 March, 2011 just watched the last over of the Nederlands Vs Ireland match. There was 4 runouts in the last 4 balls of the match. Incredible!!
Hatch Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Unfortunately it's all for nothing as I doubt SA will be trying too hard against Bangladesh! Can't imagine why? Bangladesh currently 21-3 chasing 280 odd. going ok for us so far
Hatch Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 How are quarter final draw worked out? I cant find it anywhere. I'm assuming its first in one group plays fourth in the other ..
