Semi-Final #2- New Zealand v South Africa- Wednesday, March 5th- Lahore

[King Kane]

Santner getting Klaasen as well, he has turned this match on it's head.

 

[TT Boy]

If they lose Henry for the final, that’s huge. He’s been outstanding upfront. Phillips went off as well, which is not good.

 

[SeamUp]

The only saving grace for us here, is that it is such a good pitch. We can do a mini rebuild with minimal risk and still go at a decent rate.

But it will be a monumental effort to win from here with Klaasen not firing.

 

[King Kane]

Rachin bowling, not ideal but if Henry and Phillips can't bowl he's probably our next best option, the other option is Mitchell and he can bowl pies.

 

[Moss]

No idea what the update on Henry will be, but if he's unable to bowl for the remainder of this innings SA might look at it as a possible opening in the death overs if they can keep wickets in hand. RRR of 9.5 means its stacked against them though.

 

[SkyBlue]

The game was lost in SA's opening 10 overs and the last 10 overs of their bowling

Typical SA in an ICC knockout event

 

[Sunil1z]

Why doesn’t Markram open in ODI ?

 

[BeeGee]

SA up **** creek.

 

[Darwin Award]

Goodnight Irene as far as I'm concerned.

5 down now with an asking rate of over 10 per over.

 

[Moss]

Yeesh that was an absolute giveaway from Markram.

 

[straw man]

Haha the ground playing Slice of Heaven

 

[StephenZA]

That really is poor from Markham. Quickly joining the SA list of 'what should have been players.'

 

[King Kane]

Masterstroke to bowl Ravindra,, not a great ball but Markram made it look good, the SA choke is on again.

 

[Molehill]

Difference has been the spinners, NZ have had the better options (and the second best in the tournament).

Problem is, we kind of already know they're still not as good as India's, hard to see the Final being much different from the group game.

Reserved for quota system player Bavuma

Makram looks PISSED in the change rooms.

Don't talk ****...

Reserved for quota system player Bavuma

Bavuma is not a quota player , he's actually better than Markram in Tests and ODIS

 

[King Kane]

Ravindra taking another catch, you can't keep him out of the game, he will surely get the MOTM, batting, bowling and fielding he has done it all.

 

[SteveNZ]

Tom Latham in the top 4 for player of the tournament is wild
