South Africa vs. New Zealand.

NZ won the toss and elected to bat. They are 63 for 2 after 17.2 overs. C'mon SA, pack the black caps away and send them home.

We need to get rid off ryder and taylor they dangerman..And we giving away tomany singles.Smith needs to tighten the field and attack..

 

[martinbo]

Yes, you're right. We need to get them out and soon! Otherwise with wickets in hand they're going to up the run rate substantially in the last 20 overs. Problem for SA.

Edit: 130/3. Tahir strikes!

171.5 NZ after 43 overs

Last few overs have been terrefic bowling by the lads.

Steyn,Tahir have been brilliant.

Morkel looks out off form hope fully we make the semis id bring in lobsy for morkel.

The wicket looks hard to score..we need to keep them below 220.

What a dramatic World-Cup we're having! Can't believe South-Africa lost yet another knock-out ring!! Disappointed.

On the other hand, great effort from Kiwis yet again! They've given their everything to the game & got rewarded.

Wow a shocker.. Great for NZ

 

[martinbo]

What a disaster! Second rate effort. How do you end up top of your log and then disintegrate like this. Massively disappointing.

SO SO SO DISSAPOINTED...

I am so upset with my team i had all my staff in GREEN..

I had bought a New Proteas top ..

I mean we were 108/2 and needed 4.5 a over with Kallis and Ab the main man at the crease..

I cant believe we lost i know many will say i am being wrong but i think its match fixing....

Heh, no offence guys, but now you guys know how we feel when the All Blacks don't win the Rugby world cup .

I don't think anyone can deny in the RWC 2007 and 1995 the ABs were rated as the best team in the world. But it was you guys that won it . I know we won't win the cricket world cup, but I'm glad for the guys back home. Especially with the happenings (e.g. earthquakes) going on back home.

Pethatic performance from English team. They struggled throughout the cup & imo, they did not deserve to be in knock-out ring!!

And yet another awesome show from Sri Lankan. Both, with the ball & with the bat. They're sure very balanced & organized team!

 

[ateekt]

Great bowling yet again from Sri-Lanka! Considering their last game, this chase should not be hard. I'm pretty sure they're in final.

 

[ateekt]

Most excited & probably the most important game of the cup in progress! Go Green shirts - Go!!!

GO INDIA..

Pakistan have dropped Sachin the god off cricket Twice it will cost them..

Go india.

 

[LaArtist]

Ahh epic match pak picked 2 wicket in a row..but that damn Sachin is a lucky bastard...

He must go.. if he goes they will keep them around 250..if he is in to the end they are going over 300.. and im afraid pak batting is not good enough to chase that..

 

[ateekt]

If Tendulkar doesn't get triple figures after 4, yes 4 chances (so far)... Than he should retire right after this game!!

 

[ateekt]

4th drop for Tendulkar & his 5th chance so far!!

 

[martinbo]

How do you drop Tendulkar 4 times!?!

Anyhow, at least they've got Yuvraj out for a duck.

 

[ateekt]

Ok folks!! The struggling Sachin is finally gone & the awesome Afridi himself did the job!!

 

[LaArtist]

Finally the lucky midget is gone

paki have come back well i must say india have self destruct...
