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

[Maximas]

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

Charmander actually played against Scotland, but was expensive and only got a few cheap wickets at the end. Thirimanne has had a couple of poor games but it was pretty inexplicable to pick Jayasuria jnr in his place

Thank god SA are finishing this off quickly. Will at least shut up those people who think Sanga's innings was any good.

 

[halba]

worst performance by a team in a knockout game.

 

[Primrose_D12]

South Africa finally win a knockout match!

 

[Maximas]

heads have to roll surely

Jayasuria has been pretty good with mediation between competing interests with the board and players but his selection committee leave a lot to be desired

Fitting reply from Proteas to all those who thought they would choke again.

 

[JediNudist]

Oh man what a disappointing QF. yeah SA bowled well but it wasn't vintage. How the hell can JP Duminy take a hat trick with his slow pies mud chucks ???? What the hell ???????????
Sri Lanka just broke apart.
I really hope Bangladesh provide a better backside than Sri Lanka tomorrow.

Or they could have done it to progress further in the WC

Well played, South Africa. Impressive in all departments. Same can't be said of Sri Lanka, sadly.

 

[ankitj]

Great job by the guys! Got to say SL was Spineless with both bat and ball, but great displays in all departments by the Proteas!

[Heboric]

Well done Proteas now for more than likely New Zealand, a 3am match during the week eek.

All the best to the legends Sanga and Mahela

 

[anil1405]

SL tried to be too cocky with their changes and it came to bite them back.
