South Africa [325/6] beat Australia [315] by 10 runs in the final group stage match of WC2019

[rhony]

Carey another Gilly in the making. Ice cool nerves with amazing talent. Whadda player!!

 

[rhony]

England will choke like no tomorrow.

Aussies are too tough mentally while England hasn’t played in a WC SF since 1992.

Not sure man. This English team is a different breed. They just need a true pitch and as per reports, SF and finals are going to be played on true pitches

 

[Justcrazy]

Carey playing well here .

New Dhoni

 

[rhony]

This is why wk batsman should be good batsmen as well. On the other hand we ahave such a dud and keeps getting away without any performance

Rizwan is the man for Pak. Need to persist with him

 

[rhony]

New Dhoni

Looks like it. Carey has been amazing the entire WC. He should play at 5 as Slater suggested

 

[rhony]

Idiotic shot from Cummins. No need. Just give the strike to Carey

 

[Justcrazy]

Cummins gone

Can Carey win this for Australia ?

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Carey will win this world cup for Australia. He's looked that good. Just amazing how they churn out players like these!

 

[Gilly]

Australia dont need to win here, this is a good match to go into the semi's, they look switched on and ready for the finals.

 

[rhony]

Australia dont need to win here, this is a good match to go into the semi's, they look switched on and ready for the finals.

All three teams are ON. Going to be hell of a SF and finals. Hope NZ turns up too.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

There is one more player called Turner who is equally good. He is also one for the future..

 

[Justcrazy]

52 from 30 balls , match still a little more in SA court.

 

[rhony]

Pure talent!! No one can teach that sweet timing

 

[rhony]

52 from 30 balls , match still a little more in SA court.

Aussies game to lose I think. 5 overs 50 is no big deal. Starc can swing a few too if Carey gets out

 

[Hitman]

Carey gone.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA have the grip now over the game.

 

[JaDed]

Match over

 

[rhony]

Ahhh just when I said it....amazing innings and amazing player. Guts from Faf to give Morris another over here

 

[rhony]

Khawaja and Starc can take it close. This is going To be a nail biter. Aussies schooling everybody how to chase 320+

 

[Indiafan]

Aussies game to lose I think. 5 overs 50 is no big deal. Starc can swing a few too if Carey gets out

Dude its effectively 8 wickets down now. Which team can chase 50 in 5 overs with 7-8 wickets down?

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Khawaja and Starc can take it close. This is going To be a nail biter. Aussies schooling everybody how to chase 320+

Exactly... to think they were underdogs before the world cup!

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Dude its effectively 8 wickets down now. Which team can chase 50 in 5 overs with 7-8 wickets down?

Khawaja is back.. still 7 down with a batsman at crease

 

[rhony]

Exactly... to think they were underdogs before the world cup!

Na man. They always turn up for world cups. A few of us on PP have been saying this for months

 

[rhony]

Dude its effectively 8 wickets down now. Which team can chase 50 in 5 overs with 7-8 wickets down?

Starc can hit a few, khawaja too. Don't discount them yet

 

[Roaring40s]

Faf missed a trick by not bowling seamers earlier

 

[K4Kohli]

Come on SA help us with the semis

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Na man. They always turn up for world cups. A few of us on PP have been saying this for months

Never take them lightly... they have the champion mindset..

 

[rhony]

Time for Rabada to show why he's one of the best. Can't bowl length or short.

 

[Roaring40s]

Meanwhile Oz are sending back Khawaja from the tournament due to injury and have asked for permission to include Wade

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Aus would reach around 300. Same as India did. And their low order can bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia require another 42 runs with 3 wickets and 18 balls remaining

 

[Green Patriot]

India on course to no 1.

 

[Justcrazy]

Starc gets going

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Terrific match this..

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need couple of more lusty blows here

 

[Leeon1994]

Starc playing better than Khawaja wow

 

[ipog]

goes to show how good bumrah is

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Champion strikes..

 

[Roaring40s]

Who says this format is boring? Look how this last match has turned out.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Brain fade for Khawaja

 

[DeadlyYorker]

goes to show how good bumrah is

Oh he has been the best so far

 

[CanadianG00se]

Khawaja literally just have one stroke. Move across the stumps and flick it behind square

 

[ipog]

Oh he has been the best so far

yeah..more like meant how valuable he is to the team..champ bowler

 

[K4Kohli]

Yorker please

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Why did faf not bowl his standout bowler pretorious? He has 4 overs left

This is just beyond me why he wasnt bowled out earlier

 

[Roaring40s]

Is Behrendorff any good for a couple of blows?

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

And yorker it is.

 

[ipog]

poor bowling changes..if SA loses FAF has to take the blame, kept bowling spinners even after 40 overs when he has pretorious overs

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Oh rabada teaching stark the feeling of getting bowled on yorkers

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Oh it wasn't a yorker . Good ball though.

 

[K4Kohli]

Yorker please

Thank you rabada

 

[Sin Nombre]

Excellent match, what a way to end the league stage.

 

[Justcrazy]

18 from last over required

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Faf gives credit to ipl and dhoni

 

[jagatk]

I hope semis and finals has a similar pitch rather than the so slow you can't chase rubbish that has been served up for last few games.

 

[CanadianG00se]

Is Behrendorff any good for a couple of blows?

If you meant taking blows from fiery bouncers then yes

 

[Ram Shekhar]

excellent match, what a way to end the league stage.

best world cup ever

 

[Sin Nombre]

17 needed for Aus to tie and finish ahead of India on NRR.

Starc to go.

 

[CanadianG00se]

I hope semis and finals has a similar pitch rather than the so slow you can't chase rubbish that has been served up for last few games.

Yes no doubt. If they prepare similar pitches then might as well shake hands after toss. Cause it’s like win toss and win the match

 

[ipog]

*** why andile?

 

[Roaring40s]

If by chance its a tie India would be no 1 regardless of NRR. No of wins have preference over NRR here.

 

[Justcrazy]

14 from 4 balls

sixes required here

 

[xbronze]

So India tops the points table!!

 

[ipog]

wins are same,, India one NR Aus 1 tie one loss each

 

[ipog]

Done, ind vs nz, Aus vs eng it is

 

[Roaring40s]

Done and dusted. Get ready for New Zealand

 

[Leeon1994]

So close yet so far.

 

[K4Kohli]

Thank you SA

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa won by 10 runs

 

[DeadlyYorker]

So close yet so far.

Story of pak fans in this wc

 

[JattMaula]

Aussies die hard.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

No excuses for India now.. relatively easy semifinal draw

 

[Napa]

Here we come NZ... actually, need to be super serious about NZ. They have already beaten us in a warm up game. Boult, KW, Taylor... hard to beat.

 

[ipog]

NZ cant be under estimated..IND haven't played them so there will be surprise factor..Also law of averages mean Guptill may click this time , IND need to bring their A game to win Semis..F

 

[DeadlyYorker]

No excuses for India now.. relatively easy semifinal draw

Lost to nz in warmups,lost to eng in leagues,

Won vs aus in leagues

They would have wished aussies to have faced them

 

[sweep_shot]

Well done, South Africa. Great game.

 

[rhony]

If they use the same pitch for the Ind vs NZ SF game, toss shouldn't matter. Pitch was perfect for 100 overs

 

[rhony]

NZ cant be under estimated..IND haven't played them so there will be surprise factor..Also law of averages mean Guptill may click this time , IND need to bring their A game to win Semis..F

Ind and NZ played a lot of games in the last 6 to 8 months. They know each other well. It's this ground they play and toss isn't a big factor. India is a hot fav

The other day Bairstow credited VVS in IPL.
