2nd Semi-Final: [Australia v South Africa] - Aus win

"Australia are goners" - Barry Richards, the old senile South African legend, before the start of the World Cup.
 
Hoo hoo. Nearly out first ball. What a ripper second ball! Unplayable for a tailender.
 
smashed straight up in the air and into the gap for a couple of runs by Nel.
 
WOuldn't you guys just love that for the '11 World Cup? The banner I am referring to.
 
Come on, let's get these wickets and bat. I want to watch as much as I can before my meeting.
 
Geez Watson makes Symmo look like a world-class bowler.
 
Watson must be the worst "bowler" (using the term loosely) in the WC. He's going at 6rpo when the overall innings rate is about 3.3.

he is the captain's favourite !!!
 
Tait is a classic tearaway - wides, no balls, wickets, dots, all in one over.
 
Can SA make 200? That would be a decent score given the circumstances.
 
St Lucia hosts the '99 semi replay,
And Smith hoped to put the Aussies away;
He charged Bracks n got bowled,
Then the rest started to roll,
Never play the Aussies on ANZAC day!

LOL at Damien Fleming, after this exchange with Cullinan:

Cullinan: "SA bowled out Australia for 124 in Melbourne some years ago"
Fleming: "You're really digging deep here, aren't you Daz?"
 
ANZAC day is "to remember members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who landed at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I" :| not much to celebrate mate?

"One of the traditions of ANZAC Day is the 'gunfire breakfast' (coffee with rum added), which occurs shortly after many dawn ceremonies."

so who HAD a gunfire breakfast lads??
 
HAHA! IT WORKED!
Nel plays a terrible shot and it is easily caught by Clarke. 4 fa by Tait.
Nel goes for 8.
9/130

I didn't.
 
WICKET - Nel caught at point. Nine down for 130. Nel 8 off 41.
 
9 wides today from Shaun Tait. :O
He finishes with wonderful figures of 4/39 from his 10 overs.

lol, they have played 40 overs. There will be a lunch before the end of this game. :)
 
Why is Ponting continuing to bowl Watson? Now he gets hammered away for another 4. He's going at 6+ rpo when the innings rate is about 3.
 
Kemp is on the crease for 30+ overs. Finally he is getting some runs and playing time. lol

He went at 5.5.....
But that's still crap. :)
 
Ponting should be dissapointed at this effort. They should have bowled SA for 110.
But credit to Nel, Langeveldt and Kemp. They have done well to get the total up to around 150.

We just don't have the bowling depth though Seany - after Andy G, Pidge and Taity went off and the Saffas blocked Hoggy, we just didn't have that fifth option to keep the pressure on.

Why didn't we put Roy and Pup on?
 
LOL - the only wicket Muppet would have taken, but Tait drops a sitter!
 
These two could cowlash their way to 170 or something.
 
Watson gets langaveldt bowled
SA 149 all out
SA's lowest WC score. couldn't even beat Paksitan :))
 
BOWLED HIM! Swinger gets a wicket and bowls Langeveldt. He goes for 6.
Kemp finishes on 49.
RSA out for 149. Brilliant effort for a semi final. Worst score ever in the WC for RSA.

Tait 4/39
McGrath 3/18
Bracken 1/15
Hogg 1/24
Watson 1/49
 
Im not watching this match due to a t.v problem, what is this wicket like?

is 150 enough on this wicket?
 
I have to head off now...fingers crossed that we don't eff it up in our run chase. The OZ have a problem with chasing small targets - hopefully this doesn't happen today.

250 wouldn't be enough.

This was a batting track that is why they chose to bat first, most of the batsmen got out because of silly shots.
 
TBH, i have a feeling that RSA arent leeving without a fight!
 
Saiyan prince,
No amount of fight can stop this on slaught that hayduce and Gilly will bring and ponting to follow if necessary.
