this performance today makes me wonder?

has SA been playing really crazy mind games?
imagine for a second QDK is actually in top form to a level that he has more control than possible, and the strategy is to have him be underestimated by the big teams?

now the knockouts roll around, suddenly Dale unleashes the beast, Morkel starts to break 150, JP is getting a hat trick? maybe QDK comes in and makes big runs

and it comes out SA played the way they did to make them be underestimated by the other teams.
we allowed india to outplay us, so when we face them in the final, we have this massive advantage.

imagine if SA applier Game theory to the approach to the tournament, would there be merit to taking the "Injured prey" type approach? look weak then suddenly BOOM, surprise!

I doubt it, because its a massive risk, but it would be cool hey...

How is Malingas action not chucking?

It's not. Steyn chucks more than Malinga according to me. But if Malinga were to keep his body upright, he right arm would be below shoulder height, which is illegal

Man only South Africa can make me this stressed out in such a small chase. Can't get any work done.

10 overs I think, based on an earlier post in the thread that I read.

Malinga swinging it nicely

 

[Sinbad]

shew, duminy got a hat trick? I missed that one!

 

[Crystal Web]

Amla's not taking any nonsense from Malinga.

10 overs I think someone mentioned earlier. Personally I think it's dumb. Why not just take dinner at the end of the SL innings? I guess there are news broadcasts and other factors that need to be considered, but still. Quite annoying. Still, a good 30 or 40 on the board with no wickets down will go a long way to settling nerves during dinner

Dunno...we should have taken 3,5 hours to bowl 50 which ends at 9am, I think.
