Maybe Sri Lanka, New Zealand and the likes peaked to early in the tournament.

here's hoping

Where has this bowling performance been all tournament?

Guys are looking hungry out there for a change.

don't really care, it was there when it counted.

I wonder what Mike Horn said to the boys...

Please... *chokers.

A chock is something you use to stop a vehicle moving.

I just hope de Kock uses this opportunity to get some time in the middle. Wait for balls in his area to it instead of looking and trying to hit balls. No scoreboard pressure, no need to go for NRR, etc.

Tbh, I did not think Domingo would drop Behardien and Philander for Rilee and Abbott. Good call imo though.

The chockers meme might have back fired on Sri Lanka here. They looked like they were batting for around 220-240 thinking that would be enough and then even that backfired. S.A might have last laugh for a change on that tag.

I am wondering if they would still have batted if there weren't questions about SA chasing.

Please let this be the last time I have to read such crud on cricinfo

"5.50 pm Sri Lanka are waiting in a huddle, their bowlers though are going through final warm-ups. Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock stride out down the steps. A quick chase coming up, or is it the other word that starts with ch...? "

[Badprop_za]

Good start #. 4 runs.

Once they won the toss they thought they had the job done 90%.

[Agent_Smith]

[Creag]

Great start by the Mighty #

How is Malingas action not chucking?

 

[Sinbad]

How is Malingas action not chucking?

Does his arm bend and straighten?

 

[Badprop_za]

How is Malingas action not chucking?

His arm is not bending at the elbow........or so they say. He is bowling with a throwing action.

 

[Midnight_choir_drunk]

How is Malingas action not chucking?

It is.

 

[Creag]

7 wickets by our spinners matches the best ever performance/wicket haul by our spinners

 

[Agent_Smith]

How is Malingas action not chucking?

His arm is straight at the point of release (despite the round arm slingy action)

 

[Crystal Web]

I'm chock full of confidence.
