is it me or does everyone thinks that jacob oram is the most non-required all rounder off all the teams?

32 wickets from 22 matches in world cup with an average of 21.93 I think it's only you

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Smith

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50/1 in 10.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Match is slipping away from the hands of NZ

SA are 54 for 1 after 11 overs

 

[Munna]

so far in the quarter finals ... teams winning the toss have chosen to bat .. and then we know the result... third one doesn't look too different as well!

 

[Munna]

this is minimal threat from the bowling line up!

nothing too aggressive

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Smart batting by south africans

 

[BaaliSoda]

so far in the quarter finals ... teams winning the toss have chosen to bat .. and then we know the result... third one doesn't look too different as well!

At least India Vs Australia match was somewhat went till the last overs with equal effort put in by both teams made the quarters more interesting. And Aussies won the toss and elected to bat first not India and still lost the game.

Same can't be said about WI vs Pak game which was pretty much one sided affair and now from the look of SA inning even this might become yet another one way traffic that unless SA manages to choke.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kallis is just pure class, the way he takes singles and hits boundaries, haven't seen a classier batsman than this legend

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Oye Ganja aaya, Ganja.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

para takloo ko.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

got some nice turn, dan should come back in the attack, spin from both ends

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[BaaliSoda]

Oram gets a wicket of an out of form Smith

 

[ZenBowman]

Graeme Smith gone, never looked too impressive compared to the master on the other end.

 

[Munna]

pola bowler gets a poli wicket

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Choking time for South Africa, great fightback by the Kiwis

 

[BaaliSoda]

Still NZ needs to get rid of Kallis and ABD quickly (preferably before score reaches 80 runs) to make match out of this game

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

get AB and Kallis, GAME ON

 

[BaaliSoda]

ABD looks in terrific form, he can change the game so quickly if not kallis at least ABD needs to be removed. Instead of woodcock, southee should be introduced now

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

woodcock was getting massive turn, he will pick up a wicket, i got a feeling . I underestimated another ganja tredwell and he ran through windies line up, can't underestimate this ganja

 

[Saqs]

C'arn Kiwis!

 

[BaaliSoda]

ABD has the tendency to get bowled by off cutter when he is new to the crease and southee has got a pretty effective cutter with him. Thats why Southee should be used against ABD fresh into the crease.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Jacob Oram leading wicket taker for the kiwis in WC

 

[ZenBowman]

Hoping for an NZ miracle here, but their bowling looks quite weak.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

ABCD

 

[pakistani]

Come one woodcock FOUR

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

AB looks in great touch, what a legendary player

 

[BaaliSoda]

SA is in total control 81 for 2 after 18 overs

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Oram bowling really well

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

great commitment by the kiwis, good going guptill

 

[ZenBowman]

AB looks in great touch, what a legendary player

Poor use of the word "legendary".

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Poor use of the word "legendary".

for me he is a legend

 

[ZenBowman]

You need to play for a minimum of 5 years and perform consistently to reach that status. Kallis is a good example, ABD is far from it.

 

[ZenBowman]

Dropped :kami :kami

 

[BaaliSoda]

Legendary Southee is getting carted away by legendary ABD for 4

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

You need to play for a minimum of 5 years and perform consistently to reach that status. Kallis is a good example, ABD is far from it.

I don't live by your book. If I find someone play classy cricket I Call them legendary, you have your own ratings I have mine. For me Amla, Kallis and ABD all look classy and are legends on my book Two legends batting for me now.

I don't need to wait for my fav players to be knighted by you, so that I can call them a legend

 

[BaaliSoda]

Where is Legendary big turning woodcock?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Where is Legendary big turning woodcock?

beats me ask the real God Vettori

 

[BaaliSoda]

South Africa most likely to face Sri Lanka in semis

 

[BaaliSoda]

beats me ask the real God Vettori

Lolz

 

[BaaliSoda]

ABD is toying with NZ bowlers here, match is becoming very predictable.

Where is the SA's famous choke job?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Who is out?

 

[ZenBowman]

Who said Oram is overrated? He has been the best bowler for NZ this game and now this! Kallis gone!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

A legend has fallen may be his last match in this world cup, NZ fighting well

RIP Kallis, you were the classiest player ever

Let's go kiwis finish this offf

 

[Poison]

Choke time

 

[Khabri420]

That was a beauty of a catch by Oram

 

[ZenBowman]

Southee looking very ordinary, poor line, keeps straying onto the legs.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Very good catch it was by Oram. If only ABD can be get rid off now, then we are in for an humdinger

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

match very well balanced the best quarterfinal of the tournament so far

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

game on now.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]
