Meh. Was hoping to see some SA centuries tomorrow but will have to settle for a KG firestorm instead...

Jesus, we're useless. Half our lineup don't understand why they are sent to stand in the middle of the field with a piece of wood.

Zimbabwe lose, no world cup for them.

No yet. If the game between ireland and afghanistan is a tie they go through. Very slim but still an outside chance.


As for SA that was dreadful finish, need to start looking at some other players in the middle order. This failure is becoming too much.

Up to the bowlers to again rescue us.

I still don't understand that. Ireland have a better net run rate than zim, surely if it's a tie or no result the NRR wouldn't change?

If its a tie irelands net run rate will drop below zim's. If its a no result the net run rate isn't affected. Zim need a tie preferably a low scoring one.

Oh well, did his job.

Has anything come from the ball tampering incident? There's nothing in the news anywhere about it, apart from that tweet...

Once again Rabada show just how pathetic some of our top & middle order batsmen truly are. Kudos!
