45th Match - South Africa v Australia

[Spintolose]

So England will play the cry baby crims to see who meets India in the final.

It should be immense!

 

[Malcolm]

This is why I love Australian cricket. Win or lose, they fight till the end.
Awesome performances from Warner and Carey.

 

[Dissector]

Can anyone explain why Pretorius bowled only 6? Seemed a strange decision after getting the wicket of Warner.

Fun game though it would probably have been much less interesting if Tahir had taken a pretty straight catch to dismiss Carey.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Australia has a mental edge over NZ, but India doesn't. If Boult gets Rohit cheaply it is all on.

 

[rythy]

Australia fought well. Carey is such good addition to the team. I think inspite of this loss Australia are favorites to win the cup. India Australia blockbuster final.

 

[Spikey]

can we please bring in wade for khawaja and play him over stoinis who isn't even bowling now

Reckon they might call MMarsh in

Nah, I would have preferred to play Australia than India, and I'd guess the NZ players would too.

That said, we'd def prefer to play India if there's something in it for the seamers, but on a flat deck or a used turning one, India will destroy us

Should call both in. The disaster is they’ll play Handscomb over either of them.

 

[Isura]

Oops. Didn't know it had been that long. Is it banned in Tests also?

It takes away some of the fun from the game. We used to use runners heavily while playing cricket as kids haha.

wtf. Did you have your servant run for you or something?

They should call in one and call Hazlewood in

Wut, no

The slower/fatter kids were generally given runners whether they liked it or not.

Reminds me of when we would play inside the building compound. A generously proportioned friend would always opt to field near the gates because the vada pav cart was right outside.

That probably explains why Inzy was such a terrible runner.

 

[shifty_eyes]

Smith is Australia's best bowling option atm. Pretty weak bowling unit imo.

 

[Victor Ian]

If only Maxwell dropped van sudden over the rope karma may have let Carey be dropped too.
