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

[Laal]

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

They were probably looking for a brisk start, considering they promoted Perera. These kind of strategies may work against a weaker bowling attacks but can't possibly work against SA.

 

[ahanank]

Now, I though Sanga was gonna attack duminy.
He didn't. His slow innings isn't even justified now.
It made sense in the beginning.

 

[rhony]

*their

 

[Buffet]

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

Eh, still to bat.

 

[Lords]

Sanga wont like this sendoff. But he is still fighting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka are behind here

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Our Group A partner in trouble Perera

 

[Strike Rate]

Another hack gone man this is pure suicide

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Its all over for SLankans , I think

 

[Buffet]

They were probably looking for a brisk start, considering they promoted Perera. These kind of strategies may work against a weaker bowling attacks but can't possibly work against SA.

But when you win toss and with you regular approach you can put 300 then I will take that 10 out of 10 times.

 

[Laal]

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.

Definitely. He needs to start playing shots now.

 

[Justcrazy]

;out

5 down

 

[hur rizvi]

Tahir you are champ

 

[dildilpak]

Totally playing a Misbah now. Cant believe he scored 4 centuries in as many games

 

[JustAnotherFan]

This is da man

 

[Big Mac]

This is such incompetent batting from the Sri Lankans, they really need to hang around with Sanga

 

[UpInTheAir]

Tahir shouldve played football

 

[Bilal7]

Pakistan get another wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to play Yasir against Australia.

 

[Fire Bird]

Thisara SL in trouble

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Isn't it SL who is choking now ?

 

[Ottoman]

Can't see Lanka scoring 160 from here.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Yasir Shah is a must now for Pakistan against Aussies

 

[rhony]

Tahir shouldve played football

It's refreshing actually. He went through so much **** in his life. I'm very happy that he's doing so well. All credit to him

 

[Laal]

I guess in hindsight they should have played more positively. They have dug themselves a gaping hole now.

 

[Lords]

ha ha ha... mullah tahir ne srilanka ka fatiha padh diya.

 

[cricket geek]

How will anyone justify sanga's innings today?

 

[Kianig89]

Game over pathetic same thing will happen to Bdesh tomorrow

 

[Pro Era]

And people thought that SL was gonna walk through South Africa LOL

 

[ahanank]

Ok.
So, sanga played a misbah kind of innings and is in a situation like that of misbah now.

 

[Ottoman]

Pakistan need to play Yasir against Australia.

Based on Sydney Pitch.

 

[Laal]

Isn't it SL who is choking now ?

Sir, any predictions?

 

[battler]

waiting for [MENTION=137677]Thivagar[/MENTION]'s reaction after thisara's dismissal

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Sigh. In the car. On my phone. 2 mins away from work. Gonna have to follow rest of game on cricinfo and on radio and post the odd comment here. Have a busy day today. Good luck to my team. Go Saffers.

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Perera gone too. It will be very difficult for SL to make a comeback from here. SA has really bowled magnificently.

 

[Anfield]

First time in last 4 years I am liking imran tahir. I want saf to win this WC if Pakistan doesn't. Great bowling from tahir. This guy is a gun ODI bowler.

 

[Big Mac]

Yasir Shah is a must now for Pakistan against Aussies

A) Tahir is better than Yasir

B) This is a different ground

C) Aussies can't possibly be this incompetent and gift their wickets to him.

 

[Cricket Baba]

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.

only typical misbah fans will disagree

 

[Kianig89]

SA into Semi's

 

[rhony]

How will anyone justify sanga's innings today?

Just look at the brain farts around him. That should explain

 

[Fire Bird]

still there though. He will try to get SL to 220. If that happens, choke may be on

 

[ahanank]

Same bowlers who Pakistan bullied around the other day- Tahir, Duminy.
Srilanka had no game plan today.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Spirit award goes to Kulasekera what a man

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Its high time For AB to give his magical spell

 

[Laal]

Kulasekara should not have walked! Come on.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Gone

 

[hur rizvi]

Saffers ripping through

 

[Justcrazy]

what a choke by Lanka

 

[Scorpion]

What an anti-climax to lanka's group stage run fest.

 

[Zeshan547]

Yar aisi b kaya Emandari, Kalu bhai, aap khud he chal paray

 

[samplepiece]

Can SL somehow get to 200?

 

[Buffet]

Fantastic so far. Sanga will play some shots but let's try to get 3 more wickets.

 

[Fire Bird]

LOLasekara

 

[JaDed]

Of all the bowlers spinners destructed SL.

 

[cricket geek]

Sri Linka in panic

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Duminy my boi

 

[ahanank]

Yar aisi b kaya Emandari, Kalu bhai, aap khud he chal paray

hahahaha...Wahan reh kar bhi zalalat he sehni thee.

 

[Buffet]

Its high time For AB to give his magical spell

Nah, keep him away, I never want to see him bowl those half trackers

 

[soso_killer]

6 wickets by spinners. JP running through the tail

 

[Kianig89]

Pathetic performance by SL ruined all the good work of group stages in an hour i'd be utterly disappointed n annoyed if I was a SL

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Surrender by Lanka. Sad to see.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Thank god we lost to the kiwis

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sir, any predictions?

I've already given my statement earlier, SA to win this one and the next one against NZ

 

[JaDed]

Lol one more destruction

 

[Strike Rate]

wow hatrick for duminy

 

[hur rizvi]

Wow SA on a serious roll here, i am happy for them

 

[badsha001]

Hattrick ***

 

[Pro Era]

This is less about Sangakarra and much more about outstanding bowling from SA. Unbelievable HATTRICK!

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Another one. And who said Duminy can't bowl?

 

[le_petit_prince]

ahahaha lanka

 

[zabalestmsm]

8 down!!!

 

[Kianig89]

ANy chance of some fishy business $$$

 

[JaDed]

Duminy hat trick?????????????????

 

[bill_123]

duminy u beeeeeeeee uty

 

[hur rizvi]

JP trolled everybody with a hattrick

 

[Bilal7]

Duminy takes a hat-trick. I repeat, Duminy has taken a hat-trick.

 

[gani999]

Can SL somehow get to 200?

Can SL somehow get to 150??

Man, this is disappointing stuff from them. Total collapse!

 

[Laal]

Oh Lord. Seems like Sri Lanka gave up.

 

[badsha001]

wft

 

[JaDed]

Duminy got a hatrick lol what nonsense
