I guess Durban is the only local place that has extreme humidity like Windies. But ya its odd that only our boys are feeling it.

feo we keep saying that man

when are we going to nail big teams like the aussies

all ive heard for a long time is put that game behind us and move on to the next put behind us game

chokers we are and always will be :(

We nailed them in that record 438 and will again. We have the team just are making too many bad decisions. Stuck to a fiddle and refuse to alter the game plan on merit.

Pffft,

Come on, bringing out the choker tag? FFS.

Malinga bowled a brilliant spell, it's got nothing to do with choking.

In the end we did well to scrape home.

What i was wondering though is HAll, Kallis and Ntini knew the ball was going to be pitched full and straight. Why not bat outside the crease to negate the yorker.... anyway... done and dusted.

I agree. I do, however, stand by the fact that Malinga throws and doesn't bowl. Call it sour grapes if you will, but I said this before he took the 4 wickets.

That's why I didn't watch the match or haven't watched the world cup :mad:

Damn chuckers and coaches being murdered :sick:

What a joke cricket has become :rolleyes:

Hmmm...... u havent watched the world cup because Woolmer was murdered well into the World Cup ?

Run that by me again ?

Ok, after match 9 Woolmer was murdered and that's why you havent been watching the world cup since the beginning ?

Hmmm.... still not getting it....

Look, Murali, Malinga & Tait all have different actions that have been cleared by the ICC, in fact, Murali was cleared by Dave Richardson, yes, former S.A wicket keeper Dave Richardson.. just get on with it.

Alan, if you're not following the cricket world cup it's cuz u aint a fan of cricket.

SA is more than capable of chasing mammoth totals JK8, unlike the Pakis and the Indians:). We've done it in the 438 game and weren't far off from pulling it off in the match against Australia. New Zealand are also capable of it as they showed in the pre World Cup series against Australia so thats why I still say New Zealand are our strongest opposition (other than the ozzies that is). So put that up your pipe and smoke it. :) Go SA!!

How many games has SA chased that were 300+ runs needed and won? (Since "438":rolleyes: )
