Well at least we fought in this game, unlike the India one where we just bent over...

Come on Tahir, win one against your former country!!

My problem with the India game is that RR could still have an impact as to who we play against and the way they didn't give a .... at the end meant that we lost a lot on that side.

So now we have to rely on our paki to win against pakistan...can he pull it off?

 

[ZCFOutkast]

Tahir digs a nasty one out and sees out the over. Brutal stuff. Proteas toyed with here.

Tough call. Swing or scratch it with singles.

Swing it. 7 or 8 lusty blows and it's all over one way or the other.

A better batsman would have knicked that

And then he did

You know what is so strange. SA could end up losing the game and coming away with a positive run rate.

Scratch that. How many of our sluggers batsmen went out flaying or hooking when they didn't need to?

 

[satanboy]

Oh well...

Either way to win a world cup you will have to win the best sides so whether we have to play AUS and New Zealand in the quarters or semi's or finals if we are serious about wining this world cup we will have to win them.

Mind you even playing SL might be tougher than playing AUS or NZ....no point in running for easiest route if we are loosing to the average Pakistanis we definitely wont be favourites for this tournament anyway.

South African bowling seems to be our weakest link currently.

 

[akescpt]

This teams mo3r man.

Yes

 

[sox63]

Oh well, extremely poor shot selection from 5 of our top 7. Drop QdK for Philander. The extra batsmen is not doing us any good in crunch games anyway

 

[Arthur]

I think our team is just fine.

 

[Bighit]

Ireland are about to win their 3rd game

 

[ZCFOutkast]

Proteas raped today! Bossed&bullied by the Pakistani quicks. Everyone in this CWC must be grateful the cleared Saeed Ajmal had pulled himself out already. 202 could've been 102 all out.

Zimbabwe also getting raped by Ireland. 44-3 after 11 overs while chasing 331.

 

[AthenianOwl]

I'm so fking sick of this ****! We are still not mentally strong enough to deal with this kind of pressure.

Clearly people still want Abbott in. He's a far weaker link than QdK in my view.
