Dont South Africa head the Hard luck group ?

 

[V Reddy]

Dont South Africa head the Hard luck group ?

I think the Windies deserve that. They would have also won against SRL if he didn't got hit.

Dont South Africa head the Hard luck group ?

Not one bit - they lost the games that mattered and then made a horrendous mistake on their last chance, which they only got because of rain and other people's mistakes.

If you ask me, I'd take England out of hard luck as well - we blew it!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I think Jonty is the hard luck player of the tourney...

 

[luckyeddie]

For me, South Africa in general, Herschelle and Jonty in particular.

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Surely Afridi should get a spot...

 

[luckyeddie]

Surely Afridi should get a spot...

I'd love to imclude him, but in order to qualify, he had to either get lilypads or breadcrumbs.

The nearest he got to that was finishing off Waqar's 'beamer' over. Close, but no cigar.

Perhaps when he's had a few games in Derbyshire's 2nd XI.
