1st Semi Final - New Zealand v South Africa (24th March)

[smash84]

He has never done it in a knockout game in either t20 or ODI cricket. How can people call this guy the best in the world until he sorts that?

yeah, he's never stepped up in a big game


I used to rate him higher but he disappoints all the time in crunch games. Not that great

Boult isn't bad looking either

Boult is an ugly mother****er...

Southee tho

 

[Zinzan]

I'm soooo exciting about Henry now...

Trent Boult from Cricinfo:

no ****ing way. I am not seeing this man on my screen

Yea especially considering the streaky but fast start SA got, he should know to buckle down and hang around. Especially since SA is all about going for it at the end when batting first. Disappointing from a guy averaging almost 60 in ODIs.

True, its remarkable for a guy so clutch in test cricket, he simply can't contribute at all meaningfully in a knockout game, but when its a bilateral series, he is an absolute run machine.

He may have one more chance, but if this is the last game for South Africa, its been an awful competition for him, bashed Ireland and West Indies and not a lot else really.

The Milne injury might end up being a blessing in disguise.

Didn't know his dad was Liam Gallagher.

 

[Zinzan]

Wow that was a poor analysis from Pollock, he actually did quite the opposite Shaun.

 

[viriya]

Ugly shot from Amla.. no movement of the feet - expect better from him.

 

[Hurricane]

Never seen so many people in a thread before.

 

[straw man]

Into the rhythm now, nerves settled and Southee and Boult bowling well.

Looking forward to Henry too.

 

[Cabinet96]

Ew at around the wicket.

 

[Zinzan]

Nah, he's often poor with his feet, particularly early on. His great strengths are how late he plays the ball, his wrists & temperament.

Definitely should've ordered more food. We're out of bacon-wrapped prawns already!

Yeah that was a very typical Amla shot; it just swung late and it didn't execute it brilliantly.

 

[straw man]

Hate to say it after he was dropped earlier but De Kock is looking quite comfortable now, especially against Southee.

 

[Howsie]

Get Henry on early IMO.
