It really isn't a major feat to beat the West Indies. Even if we do we still can't beat an Australia, India or New Zealand with this team.

Don't look at this game as some big come back if we win or you are just going to be disappointed.

Predictable comment as usual. .../ignore
 
AB is so far and away from the rest of the batsmen in the world skill wise its not even comparable.

Let Faf open. He has basically been opening the last few games since QDK cant bat longer than 10 minutes.

Ah so another one agrees that faf should open.

But of course we have a problem. If Gayle hadn't taken those two wickets, I think 300 would've been our maximum score.
 
Just want to put this here:


JO Holder 9-2-74-1
AD Russell 8-0-60-2
47.6
Holder to de Villiers, SIX, length on middle and invites the AB golf-swing again. Sails over Smith's head at deep midwicket as he follow's it forlornly. What. A. Player! Captain to captain, Thirty four runs off the over, second most in any World Cup
47.5
Holder to de Villiers, 2 runs, fuller delivery on off stump, AB is going for everything now and has miscued it. This is on Benn, he is running back from mid-off and he throws himself back to try and take it and can't hold on. Can't even get close, misjudged it and that's SA's highest world Cup score
47.4
Holder to de Villiers, FOUR, and then unveils the reverse sweep, as it to check if it's still in working order. It sure is! Fuller delivery on middle, should have been pushed down the ground, instead finds a home in the third ma nboundary
47.3
Holder to de Villiers, FOUR, free hit is a full toss on off stump and it's been carted to the square leg boundary. Again that back foot moved outside off, the head stays still and the bat swing is clean. Asks for some more water. Is he doing all this while cramping up?
47.3
Holder to de Villiers, (no ball) FOUR, low full toss outside off and he jumps miles outside off and sweeps it over the fine leg boundary. And it's another no-ball. Captain, this is not the most flattering example. Who said wide yorkers keep batsmen quiet? AB has the cheat code to it
Paramesh: "This South African Lineup is a Larnean Hydra! Take one batsman out, two more better ones arrive! Herculean Task indeed!!"
47.2
Holder to de Villiers, 2 runs, Free hit slapped to long-off as he goes full and a shade wide of off stump
47.2
Holder to de Villiers, (no ball) SIX, second fastest hundred in World Cup history comes up with a six! It was length from around the wicket and AB stood still and unleashed a gold swing. Punches the helmet against his chest. This is a statement and a half after the MCG events. PS - it's a no-ball as well
47.1
Holder to de Villiers, FOUR, mid-on's inside the circle and AB has carted the fuller ball to the long-on boundary. Stepped forward to the fuller ball and clubbed it. Holder can only smil

People think it's a forgone conclusion that the Proteas will win. I strongly disagree. Even that stunning catch from Taylor, it galvanised the Windies. They are up for this. Gayle will also be looking to make amends for that dropped catch even though it cost them little.

GayleSamuels up the order; Ramdin, Simmons, Sammy&Russell further down. This will be cracking!
 
Only way we're losing this one is if Parnell bowls 25 overs.

De Villiers dropped in the covers by Smith. Nothing going right for the hapless Windies...
