Sadly an all-too-real distinction in this World Cup.

All out for 105 imo.

If Sri Lanka somehow manage to beat this Aus side in the final.. I would think it a bigger upset than Ire v Pak.

The way Aussies have played in this WC, that sounds just about right!

Can't have it both ways, either let Kallis play his game, or accept the fact that he'll be dismissed such as how he was vs. Ban, NZ, WI and now Aus playing those type of shots.

Time to bring George!!

Lostman · 25-04-2007, 08:44 AM

he had just hit the previous ball for a 4.

Matt79 · 25-04-2007, 08:45 AM

Hoggy on

Ponting saving the 3rd PP, prob. on the theory that he won't need to take it. Or will take it when Gibbs is out.

Dissector · 25-04-2007, 08:47 AM

Haha. Just checked the score for the first time a few minutes ago and I thought it was some kind of mistake. Dire stuff from SA. So what's the story: great bowling, terrible batting, lively pitch? Is there any hope of SA defending, say, 150?

SA deserve to lose just for dropping Ntini IMO. In a big game you need top-class wicket taking bowlers even if they have run into a bad patch.

Or that he just forgot about it, because it matters so little in this ridiculous pummeling we are witnessing.
