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

[sensible-indian-fan]

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.

Inexclusable SR.

If Misbah can get blame, Sanga should get it too.

When Thirimanne could score 41 of 85 SR, scoring 34 at 38 SR is a criminal knock.

Unless he makes up for it big time.

 

[Fire Bird]

LOL another one . Looks like Japie has a Hattrick

 

[Big Mac]

This is ridiculous

 

[ShahKhan007]

No need for Kulesekara to walk at this stage. Let the umpire make the decision you fool. A score of 150 and South African batsman would have been there for the taking.

 

[soso_killer]

Sanga invited the pressure in the 1st 30 balls by being to cautious

 

[Sam18696]

Shabaash SA. Finish them off.

 

[ahanank]

Ok.
This is absurd.
It just shows how bad srilanka batted rather than duminy's brilliance.

 

[JaDed]

In last 2 overs match completely went off from SL.Weird isn't Sydney supposed to be the flattest of Aussie pitches

 

[Sam18696]

JP got a hattrick

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Duminy and This have taken 6 wickets

 

[Pro Era]

I hope Sangakarra tries to go berserk in his potential last innings of his career.

 

[moumotta]

What a melt down

It's not Sanga's fault the rest of his team have batted like idiots

His game plan failed. He is stuck there now. Neither re-building nor hitting.
Misbah re-builds, at least.
He would have smashed a few against duminy/tahir at this point.

Difference is that Sanga can make up for it, Misbah doesn't

 

[GreenKnightRises]

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.

And why do people have a different opinion when Misbah does the same?

 

[zzebie]

Sanga was slow right from the beginning, when not that many wickets fell.

 

[JaDed]

God I have seen India doing this so many times in the 90's before Dhoni and Yuvi came i can totally understand the pain of SL fans.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Oh man I feel for Sanga

 

[Laal]

Feel sorry for Sanga and Jayawardena. They deserved a better send off.

 

[Sam18696]

Feeling for Sanga man.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Typical Misbahish reply

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

by Sanga

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

sanga's last inning of his career , wth

 

[soso_killer]

Sanga is looking to play aggressively.
Wrong ploy imo he should bat through now. Losing his wicket will break his team.

 

[dildilpak]

This is a nightmare of a send-off for Sanga and Mahela. SA have totally spoilt the party tonite

 

[ahanank]

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

He can't.
The batsmen gifted him the wickets, actually.

 

[Justcrazy]

Disappointing stuff from Lanka

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Sanga attacking now, what a boss

 

[JaDed]

Feel sorry for Sanga and Jayawardena. They deserved a better send off.

They got one for T20 how many times can that keep happening.

 

[Kianig89]

took a short leave for this dismal show

 

[Ottoman]

Attack from Sanga at least 10 overs late. IMO

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

more by class

 

[Laal]

Can Sanga play an AB de Villiers kind of an inning?

 

[Sam18696]

Sanga dealing in boundaries.

 

[JaDed]

Sanga making his before everyone gets out

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I think Sanga was aiming for his 'Five-trick' of Centuries just like Misbah aims for his Average score of 45-50 range every game

 

[Pro Era]

At least he's trying.

 

[JaDed]

Attack from Sanga at least 10 overs late. IMO

If he would had started it atleast 5 overs ago we wouldn't had seen this tragedy.

 

[Justcrazy]

127 / 8

Sanga taking chanced now

 

[Buffet]

Showing clearly how poorly Sanga was playing till now. He left it too late. Still , SL can get to 200+

 

[Fire Bird]

playing shots now trying to choke SA

 

[GreenKnightRises]

AB should've finished the beastly spells from Duminy and Tahir.

 

[Pro Era]

smart thinking to bring morkel back

 

[ahanank]

I think Sanga was aiming for his 'Five-trick' of Centuries just like Misbah aims for his Average score of 45-50 range every game

Yeah, ok.

 

[Fire Bird]

Sanga making his before everyone gets out

Selfish 50

 

[zabalestmsm]

Well if NZ wins as well then it will be an odd SF as both havent qualified ever for a final. History will be created. But for that to happen I expect a Pakistan vs India SF and Pakistan creating history as well. Histories in the making.

 

[Big Mac]

And why do people have a different opinion when Misbah does the same?

Typical Misbahish reply

Blame Sanga > WHY DON'T YOU BLAME MISBAH?

Don't blame Sanga > WHY DO YOU LOVE MISBAH?

Typical idiocy from you.

Sanga was slow right from the beginning, when not that many wickets fell.

Bro, they were 4/2. Sanga made up his mind to bat through the innings which is a sound strategy, he's the in-form batsman and he should be there at the end.

Blame the rest of the batsmen who threw their wickets away. It's easy to make up runs near the end of the innings nowadays.

 

[Laal]

This is a ridiculous strategy. If you're waiting for the power play to do an assault then take it early! No need to wait till the 35th over.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

gone

 

[Justcrazy]

sanga

 

[Mainul]

Come on South Africa. Show some guts to the world

 

[Bilal7]

Pathetic innings.

 

[Sam18696]

That's it. Sanga's last innings and it's raining?

 

[Big Mac]

rofl Sanga )

 

[le_petit_prince]

ouch he missed the 5th century in a row

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

It's raining omg

South Africa nooooooo

 

[Ottoman]

If he would had started it atleast 5 overs ago we wouldn't had seen this tragedy.

The thing is, in the WC his strike rate was 124, so he should have attacked and Jawardane should have come at his usual place and played anchors role.

 

[rhony]

TBH..This was the type of pitch that SL play on a daily basis. It's an abject failure

 

[Laal]

Oh well. This was expected to be the most competitive game in the QFs. I hope other games don't follow this pattern.

 

[Sam18696]

Rain might save SL here

 

[UpInTheAir]

Hmmm rain... Maybe South Africa just isn't meant to win a qualifier

 

[Electron]

Lanka's WC over.

One Asian team falls, 3 to go.

 

[samplepiece]

Lol is rain going to do RSA in again?

 

[Laal]

Good point. Other players should have played an anchor role around him.

 

[rhony]

That's symbolic. Sanga leaves and the heavens open. Sad end to the great ambassador of the game. On the other side, a bit of rain on the pitch will help SA when they bat.

 

[Electron]

Hmmm rain... Maybe South Africa just isn't meant to win a qualifier

Is it raining?

 

[gani999]

Sanga Out!



And the weather gives him a nice sendoff by opening up the skies.

The last time we will see the legend bat. He has been brilliant for SL. Farewell Sanga!

 

[ahanank]

Lanka's WC over.

India will win tomorrow, hopefully no surprises there.
Expect the unexpected from Pakistan, maybe

 

[soso_killer]

Why?
Just watch the game broer and stop provoking geez!

I agree with you. Just that it would have been better if Sanga would have taken few more singles at least. But yeah, as you said rest of the batsmen just did not show much fight.

 

[le_petit_prince]

no ,get back in the ground players,just one more ball is what it takes to end the innings.

 

[Asif321]

Sad to see Lankans losing .

Rain.

 

[hur rizvi]

Tragic farewell for Sanga and Mahela

 

[Vayuu]

Lol is rain going to do RSA in again?

No ways in case of washout saffers go through because of higher rank in the group.

 

[Fire Bird]

Sanga and the heavens open out to pour rain as a spirit of cricket award

 

[Buffet]

One of the most garbage knock by anyone I have seen came from a batsman like Sanga. Didn't expect him to play like this.

 

[ahanank]

There is a reserve day.
