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

[jonbrooks]

This game is nz's to lose. But i hope ab bowls a few overs. He probably would.

It's been our's to lose for a while, ever since BMac brought the run rate to below 6s. Gup's run out and Taylor's strangle down leg side were very poor plays on our part,

 

[Adgey]

NZ now 4:1 favorites apparently

 

[straw man]

Whatever the result, fantastic innings from Corey J

Ditto for Grant 'the new old Kaneh' Elliott. And I'll admit I didn't even want him in the squad . Amazing calmness today.

 

[JediNudist]

This is going to be tight. Both batsman are set to launch

 

[DingDong]

ab choked big time! that runout would have sealed it! the black caps are going to win with 2 overs to spare now lol

 

[cnerd123]

I have a feeling AB going to come on and bowl the filthiest over ever and pick up 2 wickets.

Good call.

Hope he doesn't get 2 wickets tho.

Yeah but Neesham with his ODI average of 16 ?

Saw off 2 great overs from \Steyn and Morkel... punished two ordinary overs from Morkel and Tahir. That's how you do a powerplay, gentlemen. You keep your heads and don't go hell for leather.

 

[jonbrooks]

AB on. Can he make the breakthrough or NZ going to milk a few runs.

 

[Hurricane]

AB is bowling very well

 

[Cabinet96]

I think SA now have to forget about fitting the 5th bowler in and just bowl their guns and hope NZ buckle under pressure.

AB does the opposite....

 

[flibbertyjibber]

For a batsman who has had a dreadful tournament to turn up in a big game like this is huge. Win or lose Elliott has played a blinder.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Philander not available when the pressure is on? Big ****ing surprise.

 

[jonbrooks]

Not out. I thought Elliot smacked that. Yes, inside edge.

 

[Flem274*]

dont get trolled

inside edge imo

 

[vic_orthdox]

AB - death bowling king.

 

[jonbrooks]

Yes, had he given that out Elliot would have gone for the referral.

 

[straw man]

Ian Smith has just given Elliott the kiss of death. Thanks Ian. Ignore him please Graunt.

 

[jonbrooks]

53 off 38, still tight. Good running to pick up two. Have to go for it now.

 

[DingDong]

what a ride this team has had over the last 2 years. brings tears to my eyes
