Sarcasm? Steyn was consistently hitting 145km/h+

You know that the speed is measured out of the hand and not off the pitch, right?

Now we just need a solid, no frills run chase. Even if we have to take 35 - 40 overs I don't care.

 

[Wall]

whaaaaaaat? I love them!! love kersey...'you forgot the sugar on my coffee' I lagged!

You cannot be serious.

 

[Neoprod]

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

Okay, I see lunch is now scheduled for 9:20 our time...changed from the original scheduled time.

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...

I don't care if they're all lizard people from the Martian Freemason lodge creating the 4th Reich. As long as they win this.

Anyone willing to take odds on a 10 wicket win?

What was that Dilshan over all about?

 

[faniebraai]

de Kock hitting fours

Now we just need a solid, no frills run chase. Even if we have to take 35 - 40 overs I don't care.

Or they can chase it down in 15 overs, I don't mind either way.

 

[phoneJunky]

QDK looking on form now. Hopefully he comes right at this crucial stage.

de Kock

 

[Crystal Web]

What was that Dilshan over all about?

Trying to pull a "first ball destroyer" Duminy over?

 

[thestaggy]

What did Japes and Quinton have for breakfast today?

 

[Creag]

Happiness for QDK

 

[Neoprod]

Quinton Gerard Geraaaaard....he clips it around the paaark.

 

[Shi]

De Kock in the mood to end this quickly ... 3 fours in the over

 

[Arzy]

de Kock

You've always loved da cock, haven't you?

 

[Wall]

If de Kock comes right, I think we can easily win this WC.
