1st Quarter Final - South Africa v Sri Lanka (18th March)

[OverratedSanity]

Such a bad, bad game to watch. **** you SL you suck.

 

[Quaggas]

Welcome back, Quinny.

 

[Howsie]

That ball was worse than Harmison's opening to the '07 Ashes wasn't it?

I don't know but you'd be hard pressed to find a worse two over spell ever bowled then that, yikes.

 

[Zinzan]

that's why i said if we prove ourselves good enough

Oh, so you did. Apologies, misread that.

 

[viriya]

Lol this is like the 2011 WC final.. SL change everything in the knockout match that matters.. Kusal opening opened the floodgates. SA the better team today though.

 

[harsh.ag]

Sorry Sanga, your team's let you down.

Was talking about the respective deliveries in isolation. Both massively wide wides.

 

[viriya]

I wish he had signed off with a 5th

Sorry Sanga, your team's let you down.

They just haven't shown up at all.

On the bright side the first few pages of this thread are amusing reading knowing the result.

Lol. Thisara to gift some runs now.

 

[Maximas]

Interesting team we picked, probably the first example of us getting the balance right, interesting choice of personnel and batting order however, shame about this though. SL really ran out of puff as 2014 wore on and no one except the old legends were able to play their roles properly, this is what happens when they fail, sad

 

[YorksLanka]

Not going to be able to see conclusion due to work, so good time to say congrats and well done to SA and their fans. Clearly the better team today and thoroughly deserved victory. Good luck for the comp...

 

[Quaggas]

But, can we agree that if they lose from 113/1 after 15.2 that it'd be a choke? @ vimes

Have missed most of the match and much of a build up, but what on earth? No Satchi? No Lakmal? Kusal opening ffs!!! Against Steyn and co? As if enough change hadn't already been forced in the last 2 weeks, such a shame this is

 

[Jono]

Wish Bangladesh beat NZ now. Lanka would have been an easier quarter final opponent for India

 

[zorax]

Yea whats the logic behind getting Charmander and Murali Jnr in for their first games of the Cup? And why wasn't Thirimanne opening?

Probably. It involves South Africa after all

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

faf just hit it, unnecessary blocking
