Group 1 Second Round - Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Netherlands

[OverratedSanity]

Over the last year or so Steyn has extended his magnificence a great deal to the LO formats as well. Was always good at t20 but for some reason hadn't been great in ODIs . Last 12 months he's been ridiculous in all 3 formats

He didn't really play ODIs often until a few years ago IIRC

Well done Steyn and Tahir.

Gee that was poor from Ronchi and NcCullum at the end there. All they had to do was get Taylor on strike.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Last two balls were slow sides really. That's what happens when the batsmen look to smash everything and aren't thinking straight. Brilliant from Steyn or lucky they didn't leave? Take your pick

 

[Burgey]

Those mad **** eyes. So good.

Terrific game, well played both sides (tttt I just woke up on the lounge in time to see the last ball, but still).

 

[Jono]

NZ practiced this in warm up game vs Australia and learned nothing.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shouldve been Steyn, really. You could tell Nasser was pissed, too

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Boom

 

[Jono]

How is steyn not motm. **** off

Yeah, terrible decision, Duminy was great, but Steyn was World-class.

 

[Heboric]

Well done Steyn

Morkel owes him drinks for life.

I wonder if they should drop Morkel for the next game - although who will replace him

 

[Burgey]

Duminy will no doubt hand his MOTM award to Steyn.

By that I mean, if he doesn't Steyn will kill him.

 

[Jono]

How good was Steyn's face when Morkel was gifting away boundaries? Was a "**** you Morne ffs, give me something to defend"

 

[GGG]

Brainless batting from Ronchi and N Mcullum, they just needed to feed the strike to Taylor. I thought the 15th over was where we started to lose our way, 6 singles when we knew Steyn had 2 left, should of targeted that over. Neesham has to come in for Munro or Southee. Also giving Williamson an over was a brain fart by McCullum.

 

[Pothas]

How great is the Sri Lankan national anthem?

 

[Jono]

N McCullum was woeful. First the two dots trying to smash it, but then after he actually managed to get the boundary away surely he realises that he just needed to get a single and Ross on strike. Would have at the very least ensured a tie.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

The Proteas will hopefully wake up and shake up our batting order, Amlas slow batting during the powerplay hurt us and Duminy played an unbelievable innings to give us a score to bowl at, also morkel needs to be dropped now, he has been a player of promise for 5 years now, he is not breaking through.

 

[Pothas]

Well this game is going well.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Oranje breaking records again

Matthews, you dumb blonde, you remove Kulasekara from the attack when he has bowled 2 maidens in a row You just need him to bowl 1 over towards the end of the innings. With this kind of start, they anyways don't need to think too much about the last few overs. A wicket here will make it even more difficult for the Dutch.
