Man Myth Legend

#CoochieBhai

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol why do these South Africans become meek in knockout matches(like Pakistani players when they play against India)

Like Pakistan steamroll other oppositions lol Pakistan is a minnow team.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Ryan rickleton is just another one from choker factory.

 

[RehanG]

NZ don't actually deserve the final.

SA need someone to stepup and score big.

 

[JattMaula]

OUT

#CoochieBhai

Coochie gets Kock.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wasted Semi both guaranteed to lose in final. Chokers semi.

 

[CricVet]

Hattrick missed by an edge

 

[Fast bowler6929]

England better beat arrogant Indian clowns tomorrow.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Coochie gets Kock.

It was meant to be.
This was foretold.

I’m surprised how easily the South Africans let Kock in Coochie Bhais trap.

 

[Vikram1989]

Almost 3rd wicket. in any format , slip should be there for a new batsmen when opposition is at 12/2 .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

New low for SA cricket if they choke to freakin Cole McConchie

 

[shah9425]

Wow two quick wickets already

 

[jnaveen1980]

England better beat arrogant Indian clowns tomorrow.

So far England has beaten one arrogant side that is pakistan lol

 

[Bhaijaan]

England better beat arrogant Indian clowns tomorrow.

Welcome, my fellow countryman.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Almost 3rd wicket. in any format , slip should be there for a new batsmen when opposition is at 12/2 .

Biggest blunder from Santa

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA batstill 8. SO they will get around 195.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rss chaddi shoo shoo from here.I m not interested in talking to kaffirs here.

Brook thrashing is still hurting you? lol

 

[Fast bowler6929]

This pitch certainly doesn't look like 200 runs wicket but due to dew it might become later on here.
Ball is not coming on to the bat.

 

[Katwalindian]

Lol why do these South Africans become meek in knockout matches(like Pakistani players when they play against India)

Wickets didn't matter....they will still score 220.......

 

[jnaveen1980]

Markram 3 runs in 7 balls

 

[Ab Fan]

My boy, Brevis will win South Africa a World Cup knockout game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seems like a drop! Markram escaped.

 

[Bhaijaan]

A lot is happening.

One more wicket here and RSA will be under real hammer.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Lol hahahah markram nearly gone but ravindra's Indian genes intervened.

 

[Katwalindian]

NZ don't actually deserve the final.

SA need someone to stepup and score big.

It's not about deserving.... you win you deserve

 

[Katwalindian]

My boy, Brevis will win South Africa a World Cup knockout game.

100 coming

 

[Human786]

ohh thats not good

He is playing ... 28/2 after 4 .
Cootchiekoo gets 2 in a over

 

[jnaveen1980]

Has Rachin dropped the final chance?

 

[jnaveen1980]

That 5 wides.. so basically of the bat 23 runs?

 

[Fast bowler6929]

It is day for South Africa to choke as usual.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Neesham what a lulloo bowler he is. 20 run over bowler

 

[Katwalindian]

Has Rachin dropped the final chance?

Yes

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

embarrassing crowd turnout for a world cup semi-final. probably has alot to do with the hybrid model

 

[Cricfan8920]

Ind NZ final?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

embarrassing crowd turnout. probably has alot to do with the hybrid model

Actually neutral crowds were pretty good - around 40000 for ENG-SCO - here. Not sure why it's down today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ind NZ final?

No SA is on course. NZ bowling is weak today with Neesham

 

[Katwalindian]

embarrassing crowd turnout for a world cup semi-final. probably has alot to do with the hybrid model

Pakistan deserved one semi final to be honest

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Markram must make best of his dropped chance.

 

[Human786]

Under 180 & NW would be fave .
45/2 in 4 - Neesham ne marwa diya

 

[jnaveen1980]

17 runs lol I knew it

 

[Bhaijaan]

It’s time to bring back Coochie bhai

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Why you bowling neesham

 

[Fast bowler6929]

This neesham is biggest parchi I have ever seen. He has been playing international cricket for like 100 years now.
It's fascinating how he always comes back to New Zealand side.

 

[batandballbattle]

neesham has given all the momentum to SA now

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why are there so many empty seats? Do people in Kolkata not know there's a World Cup semifinal going on?

Crowds have been abysmal in non Indian games this WT20.

Something ICC needs to take note of if they want to host future events in that country.

 

[CricVet]

That must hurt

 

[kron]

Kahaan sei aya? Yeh neesham lmao

 

[RidiculousMan]

Tim Siefert has been hit on the face.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nice game is developing. Both teams have traded punches. But NZ made more unforced errors.

 

[Kianig89]

It’s time to bring back Coochie bhai

They still have Santy bhai

 

[RidiculousMan]

Poor atmosphere for a Semi Final game. This should be happening in Sri Lanka instead

 

[CricVet]

This injury may bother him to bat.

 

[CricVet]

Why these SAfricans are choosing backfoot to play spin when there is also some bounce - wierd

 

[Kianig89]

I really like the system in NZ cricket, they develop players and build team around them

 

[Fast bowler6929]

Not a 200 runs pitch. They need to get to 180 here

 

[Human786]

52/2 in 7

 

[CricVet]

Let's see if they will attack Ravindra

 

[kron]

I always thought santner was rubbish but now I don’t know lmao

Is he actually good or just lucky?

Even in tests. He got smashed in Lanka but destroyed india

And now doing well vs SA

Thats why 40k people attended england scotland game.
Nepals games were sell outs.
Srilanks, inspite of giving free tickets couldnt fill their puny 22k seater stadoums

 

[CricVet]

So far, very minimal feet movement against spin

Is this just hearsay? Have you seen the games at all incl the Associates games? Personally i could never go to any cricket stadium in the SC but the WC games here in Ind have been the best attended so far especially for neutral games. Even Nepal and Zim neutral games had pretty big crowds. One of the most well attended t20 WCs in a long time.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Tembu is a terrible commentator

 

[Hellion]

Teri maa di fuddi Teri di bhen li lun maari teri di.

Bit difficult to understand you with all that suar filth in your mouth your momma has been feeding you

 

[Human786]

56/3

 

[CricVet]

Out - it was bound to happen the way they have been playing spin throughout

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Pakistan deserved one semi final to be honest

nahh

 

[Bhaijaan]

They still have Santy bhai

Rachin bhai gets the wickie

Markram gone

 

[Fast bowler6929]

New Zealand might win this one. David Miller is gonna be crucial here to deal with left arm spin

 

[Asif321]

No way South Africa choking .

 

[CricVet]

Not out probably- fingers not completely under...well...out it is

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ohhhh did he grass it bro

 

[Kianig89]

NZ doing well

 

[Bhaijaan]

It’s OUT as far as I am concerned.

 

[Katwalindian]

nahh

Why?

 

[globetrotter]

It was not out

 

[RidiculousMan]

Nitin Memon needs lenskart subscription

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That was tight

 

[Asif321]

Another heartbreak
