The 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup Thread

[Mike Hoxbig]

CSA never backed AB when AB needed them the most. Their poor handling on AB's situation cost us one of the best world-class batsman/captain.

AB was a schit captain, Faf is far better. There's no denying his batting ability though...

Love wc time. Guys who never set foot in the cricket threads suddenly "caring" about the team's performances..

So what? They represent South Africa. Are you saying the 30 local cricket supporters are ok for supporting the Proteas? Funny how you clowns cry for people like us to support "our BOYS" but without complaining about how k@k they are

100 up

Only 200 more.

And? So because some of us don't post in the cricket threads it makes our opinions less valid than yours?

Under Faf the bowlers when back to the trend were they struggled to finish the tail off. We hardly had the problem when AB was captain.

Do you know what "support" means? Think about it in a general sense.

It means that you're there through thick and thin. Whether it's a country, sports team or your wife. If you only rock up to moan about how schit the team is, you're not a supporter, you're a troll.

I'm pissed at how bad we are too, but only because I know the potential we have. The guys don't seem to be in the right head space - you know this when the coach starts encouraging a loser attitude by saying crap like the sun will still rise tomorrow or life will still go on if you lose...

Apart from Afghanistan, I cannot imagine we will be favorites for any of our remaining games.

We should be favourites against Sri Lanka. And good chance against the WI, NZ too, even Pakistan actually. It's not over just yet. But should and reality may well turn out very different.

Proteas are going to be 1st..... 1st team not to qualify for semis...

That was the case under AB too, and it's hardly the captain's fault. There's only so much he can do with the field. If the bowler isn't bowling well at the death or the fielders aren't taking catches, that's on them...

The lack of coverage even on social media about the losses by the Proteas should be an indication of the current supporter base in SA. No one really gives a toss. We're just here to slap the same old shyte slogans on the Proteas

WI will thump us with the way they're playing at the moment. NZ is 50/50. And SL and Pakistan shouldn't be underestimated at a world cup...

 

[Happy Poltergeist]

jissus , another below par batting performance .

I'm being optimistic that the team can find themselves before those matches come along. The WI are mercurial and we can hope they're in one of their lower displays on that day.

Our Pro-tears really have no chance this year

Name these so called quota players...

Every coloured, black and indian guy. Everyone who doesn't identify as white.

Faf was. Then he got to creative mixing things up that resulted in them goingvover their time. And now his not allowed to do that anymore and his under too much pressure to perform so he's been shît this world cup so far.

If you only show up to kick them when they are down you are no true supporter...

A Supporter praises their team when they are on top and criticizes them when they are under performing but still shows the support. You guys only show up to kick them when they are down.

I think you misread that post. What he meant is that this team is clearly not built on merit. For instance, why the **** is Duminy still playing? His stats are rubbish.

He is correct. Why is Amla even there for example? Only on reputation and because to make up the quota.

Duminy is our best player.
