Mumbling Monde - lol. blah blah, blah, blah - what did he say? lol.

 

[feo]

Slinga in action. And did they have to show his 4 wickets in 4 balls against us.

 

[Fiekus]

Rudi's one was BAAAD..

LOL, yup very baaaaad

 

[krycor]

fleming gone.. k.. so Sl in the final

 

[Sideshow Bob]

NZ is absolutely-at-sea against malinga.. i very much doubt NZ is getting anywhere ..save a miracle..

 

[Boodles]

Michael holding just suggested that oz and sl will be in the final - did u hear that saffers. lol

 

[feo]

Wow NZ are dying out there against Malinga.

 

[Fiekus]

Hawkeye suggests Taufel's latest decision is also wrong...but this time I would say Taufel made a mistake in giving the batsman out lbw.

 

[chiskop]

what a shocker from umpire rudi koertzen
Gave Silva out lbw when there was a HUGE inside edge!

another shocker from Simon Taufel
Dilshan lbw with the ball clearly going down leg side.. commentators said it wasn't even close...

You watching on the radio Fiekus? Hawkeye showed the taufel decision passing at least 5cm from the stumps.

But like killadoob said sometimes they for you and sometimes they against you, and I think it all evens out eventually. (Though WC semi is obviously not when you want them going against you)

Watching Rudi harassing Fernando now though, Rudi seems grumpy today.

By the way, back to the earlier discussion about captains: Fantastic innings from Jayawardene, not-so-fantastic from Fleming.

Michael Holding is also right only 50% of the time, so if SL win this then it's gonna be an SA vs. SL final

 

[feo]

haha yeah SA vs SL FTW...specifically SA FTW! This thread is gonna be outta control tomorrow, I cant wait.

 

[Highflyer_GP]

Wtf is Monde saying??

 

[chiskop]

Who cares??

 

[feo]

I have no clue, sounds like "bmrmah mbmph mapbph" not sure though. eish

 

[kingrob]

Okay, so it's South Africa against Sri Lanka in the finals then.

Fantastic! That means we're bringing the cup home!!

 

[Highflyer_GP]

Slinga's chucking the ball, watch the side-on view when he delivers it!

 

[feo]

We've been through this before. He's been cleared by the ICC so theres nothing anyone can do about his action.

 

[kingrob]

We've been through this before. He's been cleared by the ICC so theres nothing anyone can do about his action.

He's been cleared once, that doesn't give him immunity against throwing the ball.

To me it definitely looks like he's throwing the ball.

 

[Highflyer_GP]

Yeah we talked about the angle he delivers it before, but now I noticed that his arm seemed a bit bent! If he bowls another noball then watch out for the side-on view

 

[chiskop]

Nicely done. Fernando bowls a ball that merely goes for a single, and is not warned no-balled, a wide or a six.

Malinga's action is unusual, to say the least. But his arm is straight the whole way round = not throwing.
