[JustAnotherFan]

Even you have to admit Saffies are goners now!

I will admit that when Kallis, Pollock and Hall are gone.

 

[12thMan]

smith out
267-6
111 from 51 balls needed

 

[the_game]

Smith gone. South Africa choking up a good opportunity to beat the Aussies.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

SA beat the Aus in the 438 game by 1 wicket. There I was s*****g in my pants.

 

[infamous9383]

SA are pretty much gone now.

I admire JAF's courage, he's stuck with his team throughout

 

[infamous9383]

last 5 wickets for 47

I wish Kallis had half the courage JAF has!

 

[infamous9383]

270/6

8 overs to go

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well, Kallis (@ 47) will improve his average of 45.27 in ODI. Haha.

 

[the_game]

Ouchie! Kallis unable to hit out.

 

[infamous9383]

kallis got hit by a fierce ball by tait.

top notch delivery

 

[12thMan]

Aus can go back to #1 if they win this and the next match. on April 1 whoever is #1 get $175,000 from ICC

 

[The Chaudrey]

Tait proving the worth of having an express pacer in your team.

 

[infamous9383]

101 needed of 7 overs

tait ruins a good over by a boundry at the end

 

[infamous9383]

kallis finally goes

trying to go for it too late

 

[aliff]

finally, kallis goes... There's now hope for SA

 

[Mo.]

match losing innings from Kallis there.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

SA are pretty much gone now.

I admire JAF's courage, he's stuck with his team throughout

Nope. It is the same as any sportsfan. Hoping for the best and not giving up till the end. You support your teams through thick and thin.

Some of you are here just to support cricket and that is what is more important.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Eish, I think SA batsmen need to learn how to play spin.

 

[infamous9383]

99 needed off 6 overs

Hogg finishes spell with 10-0-61-3

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Aus can go back to #1 if they win this and the next match. on April 1 whoever is #1 get $175,000 from ICC

Then they deserve it.

 

[infamous9383]

pollock clean bowled by watson

 

[infamous9383]

not out given and correctly so

 

[Ansari]

Spin bowling options and good use of reverse swing the difference between the two teams.

 

[infamous9383]

Langvelt gone bowled by Bracken

 

[Milroastnescafe]

this is turning into a thrashing

[Straight Bat]

fooour

 

[Shayan]

its been a good game, Australia have done very wel to fight back after SA's awesome start. Deserved winners imo

 

[infamous9383]

87 runs needed off 3 overs. turning out to be a classic like the commentators expected

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Agree! Defining moment was difference in the field. A certain runout.

 

[Rob H]

Bowled him all over. Bracken yorks Ntini and Australia win by 83 runs!

 

[12thMan]

still well played by SA. It cannot be easy to chase such a big score and any lapse in momemtum is costly. They were in the game when Smith was there and he didn't look like getting out. When he left SA required around 7.6 an over and when he came back it was around 12 an over

Nitini bowled by Bracken

SA all out 294. Aus win by 83 runs

 

[infamous9383]

Brackens bowls out Ntini

Aus win

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Australia win!!!!!!!!!

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well from 220/2 to 294 all out .... scary!

 

[Uzzy]

Australia win. Good game in the end.

 

[the_game]

Well from 220/2 to 294 all out .... scary!

I smelled it .

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Anyway, hope to see both these teams in semi's and hopefully not against each other!

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I smelled it .

Hehe. Keep well. Off to bed. 11:40pm in SA.

 

[aliff]

Well done Ozis, A well deserved victory.

Man of the Match - Kallis. )

 

[the_game]

Hehe. Keep well. Off to bed. 11:40pm in SA.

Cheers .

 

[Sean]

I just had to fall asleep at 4am didnt I?

 

[the_game]

I just had to fall asleep at 4am didnt I?

It's Ok. You guys won.

 

[Sean]

Well done Ozis, A well deserved victory.

Man of the Match - Kallis. )

Nope. MOM is Matty Hayden.

 

[Sean]

It's Ok. You guys won.

I would've liked to watch us win.

 

[Sean]

Special presentation to Gibbs and Haydos. They get something from the PM.

 

[Daoud]

Good game for my fantasy team. Had Hayden, Ponting and de Villiers

 

[Straight Bat]

Yeah I got Hayden Ponting and Kallis from that match in there

 

[Sean]

SA will win

Spoke too soon.

 

[OZGOD]

I would've liked to watch us win.

I didn't get to see us win either as I had to step out. Looks like Hogster was crucial though.

 

[OZGOD]

Anyone seen Saffer? At least JAF stuck around to the bitter end, credit to him.

 

[Sean]

That's what I heard. I am waiting to download highlights so I can watch what he did.
I woke up when they were about 4/260 and watched the rest.
I missed about 30 overs. I heard that Watto ran De Villiers out on an awesome throw.

 

[Sean]

Yep. Saffer has hid. That's why I bumped all those threads. He was talking so much about how they will smash us and we beat him.
Come out come out wherever you are!

 

[OZGOD]

SA were doing really well when I went out to grab lunch but I felt if we could break that deVilliers/Smith partnership we were in with a shot. I was surprised that Kallis came out before Gibbs though, I thought the game was tailor-made for Gibbs.

Our minnow attack took a pasting at first but they were able to come back and get some stops.

 

[OZGOD]

That's what I heard. I am waiting to download highlights so I can watch what he did.

Where you downloading highlights from?

 

[OZGOD]

Shame about Smiffy cramping up. Haydunce played on to get 181 with a broken toe in NZ though.

 

[Sean]

Where you downloading highlights from?

Go on msn and i'll let you know.
I dont want to get in trouble for posting a website.

 

[OZGOD]

OK, I'm on.

 

[OZGOD]

Back to the thread, did anyone think that Smiffy made the wrong decision in fielding first?
