2015 World Cup Result | South Africa comfortably beat Sri Lanka to book semi-final place

[JustAnotherFan]

Tahir giving the finger to the Pakistani supporters back there..lol
A rubbish shot more than a good delivery.

Makes up for the previous huge appeal.

 

[Thivagar]

Only other "allrounder" left is Thisara, he is garbage he can't build innings during a situation like this. He was garbage, was dropped suckked big time at FC then he was depressed so Sanath selected him again. No more special treatment, if international athletes can't handle being garbage, they are never meant to be international athletes. I hope Perera is gone forever.

No he just ran towards that side in his traditional style

TBF Jayawardena didnt pick him, well earned wicket

 

[Belawal2014]

Hoping for a Sangakkara special, one more time for his fans!

 

[H2O1]

What's the story behind that? can you let me know please?

AB is a conservative kaptaan, SL are under the pump, bring back Morkel or steyn, pick up a wicket and seal the game.

Yeah, that was brilliant.

Still it is giving easy survival passage to Lankans

Did you miss the 'lol' at the end?

No. Pace on the ball will only help SL now. Ball's stopping a bit on the pitch and SL can't hit out because of all the wickets

 

[Lords]

Choke may be actually on. You only choke when you lose from a winning positon. As long as Sanga is there, he will choke the victory out of SA.

Having slip and some close in fielders will help here for spinners.

[Zeshan547]

Dumminy bowling good will most likely haunt Saffers in SF, because they will play him as fifth bowler again. But kiwis will most likely murder him. And this 4 bowlers strategy is ****. So saffers will commit sucide if they don't play 5 bowlers in SF. Mark it anywhere you want.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

If SL lose this match, SA will definitely go on to lift the WC which will ultimately hold the 'The WC is Fixed' message thingy

 

[hur rizvi]

Morkel is back good decision

This.

Definitely? NZ are no push overs..

Aus, Pak, India whoever reach the Final would also have equal chance

 

[cricket geek]

both spinners has bowled 6 overs each, pretty quickly.

Let us get to semis first.

 

[Thivagar]

What's the story behind that? can you let me know please?

Basically he was dropped because he was being garbage with bat and ball. He played few FC matches, performed poorly there, BBL or CPL came Sanath ordered him to work on his batting instead of playing T20 league. He did that, he was depressed and thought about quitting cricket overall and according to Thisara NZ tried to poach him during this time ) ). Then Sanath encouraged him and gave him chance he was bad but they selected him in this WC anyway. By giving special treatment to garbage players deserving players are being robbed of their chances(not like SL has many talents waiting to become the next Sanga anyway).

 

[cricket geek]

is it Mike Horn effect?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Hope we don't see another 2011 SFinalists .... (SL vs NZ, Ind vs Pak,)

 

[ahanank]

Hope we do.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

If these two can hold on till 230, SL are safe

 

[Enforcer]

:100 for srilanka

 

[Bilal7]

If Sri Lanka get to 220-240, we should be in for a good game.

 

[Thivagar]

OK Mathews injured, this is done, with Thisara the obesed all rounder to come. Good night everyone. It will take me couple of days to recover

looool lmaoooo )

 

[cricket geek]

It seems that Sanga is very confident of himself that he will make up in the end. He wants to play till the end.

 

[Buffet]

Mathews is not able to play short ball at all here. Keep attacking there .

 

[Zeshan547]

If SL somehow manage to to get 150 more than lanka will favourites considering choke abilities of saffers. And it's very much possible if these 2 are still there after 40 th over. For Saf sake they have to get lanka out for less than 200 if they want to make it easier for them.

 

[Abhilash93]

Matthews struglling against bouncers :raina

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wow just woke up to see Sanga playing a Misbah?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Definitely? NZ are no push overs..

Aus, Pak, India whoever reach the Final would also have equal chance

NZ are definitely no match for 'SouthAfrica, If they can get over this Knockout hurdle".

If Starc and Maxy doesn't click its all over for Aus.

We don't have the habit of winning matches consecutively against a decent side. India had their glory in the group stage, SA re not Pakistan to repeat the same mistake against them

 

[Thivagar]

Game is not even 30% done.

I know sl, I know how pressure creates dominos effect on every player. I'm out. Congrats, RSA bowled well. Good luck.

I would be surprised if Boult, Southee and Vettori dont trouble Saffers in home conditions

 

[Abhilash93]

Can Sanga make it 5 in a row and take SL to a fighting total. will be interesting to see!

 

[Scorpion]

Sanga is actually struggling to get away. Not doing on purpose. SA has bowled well.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sangakara is such a class player

 

[zabalestmsm]

Matthews to the rescue. He will play a captain's knock.

 

[Buffet]

We are still to bat while chasing

just imagine if somehow Windies upset NZ and SA win here lol that will be a free ticket for SA to final. Windies is their punching bag

 

[cricket geek]

so good bowling and pressure has done this to sanga.

 

[Laal]

SL better start accelerating now. They need to post at least 250 to remain competitive.

 

[moumotta]

Matthews is just a dummy captain. Will he play a real knock.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

just imagine if somehow Windies upset NZ and SA win here lol that will be a free ticket for SA to final. Windies is their punching bag

haha Ab will score 200 of 80 balls, another 400

 

[Buffet]

Sanga is actually struggling to get away.

Understatement. 30(80) balls.

SL is in this kind of hole mainly due to his knock. He has to bat well from here on to make a good total for SL.

 

[rhony]

Who knows. WI might come out all guns blazing because they will have nothing to lose

 

[Bilal7]

Yup. Not going to happen though.

 

[Strike Rate]

Sanga will accelerate in post lunch session he is just waiting for the lunch with wickets in hand and making bowlers tired.

 

[Buffet]

SL better start accelerating now. They need to post at least 250 to remain competitive.

They can get to 250 if they don't lose a quick wicket here. Last 15 overs will go for runs.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I reckon this will be as close as OZ vs NZ

 

[Strike Rate]

Who knows. WI might come out all guns blazing because they will have nothing to lose

there was a stat someone posted here that windies since 2005 won only 1 or 2 odi matches against SA and lost like 20-25

 

[Laal]

They made a huge tactical error when they tinkered with their batting lineup.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Is the pitch tough for is it garbage batting?

 

[Buffet]

They made a huge tactical error when they tinkered with their batting lineup.

Not sure why they did that when things were going so well with original line up.

 

[Strike Rate]

The worst thing lanka did was promoting Kusal they changed their whole batting line for a big gamble there and it backfired now only a captain knock from mathews and a recovery from sanga can do the face saving for them

 

[Buffet]

Is the pitch tough for is it garbage batting?

Good bowling in the first 10-12 overs but after that it has been garbage batting. Sanga is the main culprit here. I guess, he is playing for the last 15 overs.

 

[rhony]

Is the pitch tough for is it garbage batting?

20% pitch 80% garbage batting

 

[Strike Rate]

Is the pitch tough for is it garbage batting?

add brilliant bowling by SA too

 

[Laal]

Is the pitch tough for is it garbage batting?

There must be some juice in the pitch for SL batsmen to struggle like this. Even though SA has bowled well.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mathoooows gone

 

[Kianig89]

 

[Strike Rate]

and the captain throws it away

 

[cricket geek]

just one boundary in 85 balls WTH!!!!!!

 

[Kianig89]

Strange bizarre I thought this would be the pick of QF but its really lopsided

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Good game Sri-Lanka.

 

[Kianig89]

SCG to Colombo departing in 5 hrs

 

[Strike Rate]

Sanga making Gavaskar and Misbah proud )

 

[Buffet]

Good time to pick up wicket here.

Anyone wants to argue that Sanga playing this garbage knock is not putting pressure on others? It will surely have some impact when you play 30(80) kind of knock.

 

[Kianig89]

Will hack Perera have the game of his life

 

[dildilpak]

The worst thing lanka did was promoting Kusal they changed their whole batting line for a big gamble there and it backfired now only a captain knock from mathews and a recovery from sanga can do the face saving for them

This. SL's mysterious weapon turned out to be a good dud, tells you that it is never a good idea to experiment blindly in a crunch match

 

[rhony]

Turning out to be a landmark victory for SA. However, it could also be there biggest choke if they lose from here

 

[KingKhanWC]

Brilliant intensity from SA.

Easy win on the cards now .

Goodnight all & Sri Lanka
