[JustAnotherFan]

Ponting misses runout chance

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Smith 4 pull

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Smith hits another big one

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Watson has gone for 25 in only 2 1/2 overs

 

[JustAnotherFan]

AB de Villiers gets his 50

 

[JustAnotherFan]

93/0 after 13 overs

 

[pak4life]

why didnt pak get pitches like these

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well Saffers are now ahead of Aus at same stage i.e. 13 overs

Another 4. 100 up

 

[infamous9383]

100 up for SA

 

[WasimG]

I cant decide which side I hate more so I'd just laugh at the one that loses.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Doesn't help bowling in the block hole if the Saffers block them and run a single.

 

[HAFRIDI]

SA will win

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I cant decide which side I hate more so I'd just laugh at the one that loses.

Ag, face it HunkyPunky you are watching the top 2 sides in the world so deal with it.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

SA still has a far way to go, but have depth of batsmen to deal with it.

 

[Big Daddy]

Southafrica are now taking australia to school

 

[WasimG]

Ag, face it HunkyPunky you are watching the top 2 sides in the world so deal with it.

Exactly. But both sides are arrogant so thats one reason I hate them. Aussies win too much and I dont want them to win for the 3rd time running and Saffies are a bunch of animals so I'd atleast want someone from my species (human) to win the world cup.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

It is probably a good move to bring Tait back.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Ag, face it HunkyPunky you are watching the top 2 sides in the world so deal with it.

Either that or the two worst bowling attacks in world cricket .

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Either that or the two worst bowling attacks in world cricket .

Hehe.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Smith loves his 4. Another one.

 

[WasimG]

Either that or the two worst bowling attacks in world cricket .

Well spotted.

 

[the_game]

Australia in trouble here. They have trundlers like Watson and Symonds to come. Hogg needs to come in quickly.

 

[desidudecool]

based on the evidence so far these 2 sides have the best batting line up in the tournament and srilanka have the best bowling attack for this tournament.Australia's bowling attack has'nt looked this ordinary in a long time.

 

[the_game]

Good stuff Ponting. No powerplays and Hogg into the attack.

 

[infamous9383]

powerplay 3 hasn't been used

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well spotted.

Well they destroyed Pakistan. But I guess anyone can these days. Even Ireland. )

 

[mooz]

If Hogg doesn't do it for Australia, they have no chance whatsoever.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Good stuff Ponting. No powerplays and Hogg into the attack.

I guess Ponting is a brave man.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well, there goes the 1st 4 off Hogg and Smith's 50.

 

[infamous9383]

smith 50

 

[JustAnotherFan]

5th off the over so it wasn't that bad

 

[infamous9383]

118/0 after 16 overs

 

[JustAnotherFan]

The thing is Smith can play spin and when he gets going boundaries will flow off Hogg.

(Smith just can't bowl spin!)

 

[the_game]

I guess Ponting is a brave man.

No I think Hogg will be a much better choice over the likes of Watson, for example. The pitch is turning.

 

[WasimG]

Well they destroyed Pakistan. But I guess anyone can these days. Even Ireland. )

And anyone can beat Australia by 10 wickets or chase down 350 against them or beat them by 120 runs in multiple matches. Even Eng and NZ. As for Pak, didn't we destroy your bowling attack in your own backyard. Had you been in Pak we'd have done that in all 5 matches.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Are SA favourites to win the match now?

 

[kablooee87]

Are SA favourites to win the match now?

not yet

 

[WasimG]

Brian Chung is intrigued. "Whats the reason for so many boundaries? any theories?"

Hmm..... Dead pitch, small ground, good bats and even better batsmen.

And sh*tty bowlers. ICC is scared to give this dead pitch and small ground to Pak or what?

Must be as flat as a pancake if Devillers is scoring runs! )

Ouch!

 

[12thMan]

Symondo bowling now
135-0 need 243 from 31.5 @ 7.6

 

[the_game]

This Aussie attack needs to sort itself out if they want to win this tournament. They are totally crap right now except for McGrath and Bracken to an extent.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Must be as flat as a pancake if Devillers is scoring runs! )

Hmm, well he scored quite a few 50's off the Pakistan bowlers!

 

[desidudecool]

man australia is being made to look like bengladesh here.they are getting murdered

 

[Rob H]

Watson has run out AB from the boundaries' edge

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Congrats Watson on that throw!

 

[shabbu1]

Watson!

 

[12thMan]

Ponting 91, Clarke 92 and ABC DE Villiers 92

 

[JustAnotherFan]

[JustAnotherFan]

This outfield is quick

 

[Uzzy]

Kallizzz in now.

 

[the_game]

Hmm, well he scored quite a few 50's off the Pakistan bowlers!

Now wait for Kallis to play his usual game and take South Africa out of the match.

 

[the_game]

Kallis in, time to sleep

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Kallis plays himself in and then lets rip. He has 'nuf experience to handle the situation.

 

[Rana]

good match!

 

[lumber121]

[JustAnotherFan]

Kallis gets his 1st 4. Cover drive

 

[the_game]

Benson, you idiot. That is not a dead ball!

 

[12thMan]

11 from the over but only 1 run from the bat
SA 183-1 after 24 overs ... needs 195 from 26 @ 7.5
Aus was 168-2

 

[jattafridi]

gilli still scoring )

 

[12thMan]

Aus still has to take the second powerplay I think

 

[12thMan]

G Smith cramping badly. on the ground twice in space of 2-3 balls

 

[12thMan]

G Smith batting with a runner now

 

[12thMan]

Powerplay 3 in progress 23-27
184-1

 

[Windistan]

ok kallis hurting his team's chaces here.

 

[the_game]

ok kallis hurting his team's chaces here.

Oh how surprising is that!

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Smith should go

 

[12thMan]

G Smith going out and Gibbs coming in

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Bring on Gibbs.

 

[WasimG]

Thank you Kallis. You're the man!
Go Aussies.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

So predictions people? Now 184/(2) with new batsmen. Gibbs can hit them out of it. I would rather see a Gibbs and Boucher there though.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Required run rate now over 8

 

[pak4life]

kallis protecting his average again probably end up on 80no and SA and loose by 40 runs

 

[JustAnotherFan]

finally some runs again. 10 off the over off Hogg
