2015 World Cup result | NZ beat South Africa by 4 wickets in a nail biting encounter

[BlackThunder]

Du Plessis is one of very few South Africans with some backbone. His wicket early will be huge for NZ.

 

[volcyz]

Saf looking unstoppable here

 

[xerox]

Unfortunately the ball that got Amla had nothing to do with swing.

Just went with the angle.

Next excuse?

Even the best players have an off day.. he will fire in the next game.

Amla is a class player and one bad game doesn't mean he doesn't have backbone.

 

[Zeshan547]

De Cock has really poor defense. he will really struggle against quality bowling.

 

[Zeshan547]

One Bad Game? are fooling yourself or others?

 

[SL_Fan]

Seriously how good is this. Steyn, Morkel, VP and Tahir v Southee, Boult, Henry and Vettori.

The ball is swinging in to Amla, he did not move his feet much in the fear of LBW.
Got caught with his feet stuck in the crease. Boult deserves credit than a stupid disservice to his bowling calling chokes out of the blue

Look at his average and SR.. now he is out, so we can all blame him..

Tahir is the most threatening of the lot.. shown in QF, he is a class act.. best spinner in the world after Ajmal.

 

[SL_Fan]

Fifth bowler the worry for SA tho Duminy v Anderson. But winning the toss should kinda negate that.

 

[Zeshan547]

Where are you buddies [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] & [MENTION=97523]Buffet[/MENTION] , Come here it's really boring without you.

 

[Anfield]

No cover drive no straight drive so far. Prsssure is visible and so is poor batting and good bowling.

 

[BlackThunder]

Amla is a class player and one bad game doesn't mean he doesn't have backbone.

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your stay. Now I introduce you to [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] for a better explanation.

Yeah he's bowling really well. Underrated for sure as far as LOIs are concerned. Vettori tho has been brilliant this WC as well. As I said one heck of a battle this one.

 

[fight_club]

Cant believe that SA have dropped abott

 

[Zeshan547]

Look at his average and SR.. now he is out, so we can all blame him..

Tell me even one good knock under pressure vs big team in a big game in LOIs?

Aman and NZcricketfan will be in hiding for a few days after this match!

Why Amla was going after that ball? - he know better to see off swing for first 7/8 overs l. First he hook the ball, which was not there then this. Very disappointing stuff from test Captain.

Awful, awful shot. What the hell was that??

Tell me a big knock under pressure vs big team in a big game by any other great player.. even Tendulkar who is considered great didn't play any knock which clears all the criteria you set.. I am not bringing Tendulkar here, but he is considered a benchmark.. so why not ask the benchmark this question.

 

[yasir]

Another bad choice of shot selection

Lightening Boult strikes again. Whattay bowler he has become.

Feel sorry, De Kock crying as he walks off

Saf trying their best to choke. Throwing wickets away.

Vettori is no match for Tahir.. Tahir is a match winner.. Vettori is a support bowler.

 

[soso_killer]

QdK is gone, poor short that.
Now that is a short you could associate with nerves and perhaps label as a choke if that rocks ones boat.

 

[SL_Fan]

Tough call but these conditions should suit VP more I think.

 

[battler]

Boulted!

 

[volcyz]

5 slips wowwwwww

 

[SL_Fan]

Vettori is no match for Tahir.. Tahir is a match winner.. Vettori is a support bowler.

This WC Vettori has been a game changer tho. Best I've seen him bowl.

Amla was unfortunate not to get a big score here.. but people are going OTT in labeling him a choker.

 

[chaiwala]

Boult is frightening. Absolutely frightening.

 

[Anfield]

Abdv chickens out yet again.

 

[battler]

This is just beautiful from boult!

 

[xerox]

He has been a support bowler.. never a game changer himself.

 

[desi_launda]

5 slips in an ODI game? *rubbing eyes*

 

[soso_killer]

Losing two wickets in the 1st 10 is not ideal

 

[SL_Fan]

The best NZ side ever this one?

 

[desi_launda]

Pakistani destroyer Henry in

 

[Zeshan547]

AB Hiding?

 

[Snow]

AB was suppose to come?

 

[Chrish]

The best NZ side ever this one?

Its not even debatable.. This is the first time anyone actually cares about NZ

 

[soso_killer]

Direct hit would have been out.
He needs to stay away from run outs.

 

[battler]

The best NZ side ever this one?

Easily!

 

[desi_launda]

almost run out.Stay calm.

 

[SL_Fan]

He has been a support bowler.. never a game changer himself.

Changed things around for NZ against Aus when Aus got off to a flier. Removed our top order. And did well in the other games as well.

 

[mithun_minhas]

South Africa's only hope is Tahir.

If Tahir can get the ball to spin, he will be handful.

All SA needs is 275 runs on the board.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Abdv chickens out yet again.

Guess you don't understand much about cricket?

 

[desi_launda]

 

[Zeshan547]

Faf is gonna run out himself or Roussow, it is a given, just matter of time, Very fast runner but very poor judge of Run between wickets.

 

[desi_launda]

Will Baz keep bowling Boult?

 

[xerox]

Its not even debatable.. This is the first time anyone actually cares about NZ

Easily!

Nope.. 1992 was better.. but it came against a much better side in Pakistan.. else it would have won the WC.

 

[desi_launda]

Nope.. 1992 was better.. but it came against a much better side in Pakistan.. else it would have won the WC.

based on sheer skill this side is MUCH better.

 

[Laal]

Love McCallum's do or die attitude. His field placements are ambitious.

 

[volcyz]

Lol 92 side is definitely not as good as this side

 

[volcyz]

What an over from Henry!/!

 

[FreeBird]

Faf de tuk tuk.

 

[yeh cheez]

NZ with their tail up

 

[xerox]

based on sheer skill this side is MUCH better.

I think NZ vs Pakistan QF would have been end of the tournament for this side.. in 1992 also they won everything but couldn't overcome Pakistan. This NZ side is only winning against weaker teams.

 

[Zeshan547]

it looks like Henry is not just good a pak basher, but he is poor death bowler.

 

[Laal]

This looks like a bowler's game. I expect a low but competitive total.

 

[soso_killer]

I like this surface its got something for bowlers.
If SA are not good enough to give their bowlers something to bowl at then that's their problem.
Even 260 won't be easy to chase here IMO.

 

[Scorpion]

why is bat making such a loud, hollow sound ?

 

[battler]

Nope.. 1992 was better.. but it came against a much better side in Pakistan.. else it would have won the WC.

lol 92 team was nowhere near this level!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I think NZ vs Pakistan QF would have been end of the tournament for this side.. in 1992 also they won everything but couldn't overcome Pakistan. This NZ side is only winning against weaker teams.

Lol what?

The same Pakistan that was beaten by India, West Indies and Australia comprehensively?

And before that they were beaten by NZ even in UAE and then again in NZ thrashed?

Bas kar du ab..

Pakistan team was not even close to NZ and we would have been routed the same way in QF were it anyone else barring Bangladesh.

 

[Anfield]

Guess you don't understand much about cricket?

Guess you can cheerlead.

 

[soso_killer]

Faf de tuk tuk.

Well he needs to duple tuk-tuk in this surface.
He can always catch on later if he stays

In WC KO, Pakistan always did well against NZ.. forgot 1992 SF and 1999 SF ?

 

[Kianig89]

Intriguing battle 4 slips n gully

 

[Laal]

Faf is hanging in. If he makes it out it has to be one gutsy inning.

 

[Kianig89]

Baz should bring Dan the man from one end

 

[Laal]

I wouldn't bowl Boult out. Conserve his overs for SA late order.

 

[Kianig89]

Carted between two
