South Africa v England | CT 2009 | Centurion | 27/9/2009

[Omar-45]

45.5
Anderson to Parnell, no run, slower bouncer from Anderson, Parnell was through with his **** before the ball arrived, attempts a second shot at it, the ball sails over middle stump

 

[hasanb]

A brave brave captains innings from Grame Smith, well done sir...brilliantly played...

Ive lost a huge amount of respect for Strauss

 

[iafzal]

South "NO WEAKNESS" Africa are out of the CT.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

That was out, he nicked it, didn't he?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 from 18 balls.

 

[Mohsin]

They better have calculated how much they need to get to surpass SL or they won't even have a minute chance. After this game, either SL or SA are definitely out of the tournament I think...

They need 315 (give or take)

They're out

 

[don1990]

Broad to Smith, OUT, this could be the end for South Africa, Smith's heroic innings comes to an end, Smith backed away and looked to smash that to midwicket, top edges it to mid-on, the crowd gives Smith a standing ovation

 

[iZeeshan]

So SAF are out for sure?

But I do have to take a moment out to congratulate Smith. Valiant knock that.

 

[cricketpassion]

South "NO WEAKNESS" Africa are out of the CT.

Another exit for s african in big tournament

 

[don1990]

South Africa require another 50 runs with 1 wicket and 18 balls remaining

 

[don1990]

great shot by steyn....

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

South Africa are out the Champions Trophy now. This is really surprising.

 

[Savak]

'South African bowlers have let them down in this tournament" Bob Willis

 

[Mohsin]

Congrats Styen!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

One thing I admire about South Africa is that they never give up.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Well played Smith!

What a knock by the South African skipper!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

They need 315 (give or take)

They're out

Then I'm surprised by the rash approach they took. They should have worked singles and an odd boundary to get to that score even if they couldn't achieve 324...

 

[don1990]

silent dressing room of africans,.,/

 

[Afridi_Fan]

41 from 12.

 

[Savak]

Willis has a point, this South African bowling unit conceeded 300 plus runs in two games out of three.

 

[desidudecool]

they can still qualify ..they need 30 off 2

 

[Rizie]

Pakistan is the favorite team

 

[Afridi_Fan]

3-42 in 10 overs to Jimmy.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

It's been a good day for Jimmy.

 

[Juggernaut]

Wait a second:

RSA lose this. They have 1 win from three. So do Sri Lanka.

If england beat new zealand aswell then they have 1 win. Then it goes to net RR right?

 

[don1990]

South Africa require another 41 runs with 1 wicket and 12 balls remaining Required RR 20.50

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Wait a second:

RSA lose this. They have 1 win from three. So do Sri Lanka.

If england beat new zealand aswell then they have 1 win. Then it goes to net RR right?

If New Zealand beat Eng they will have two wins too.

Yes, then it goes to net run rate.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Wait a second:

RSA lose this. They have 1 win from three. So do Sri Lanka.

If england beat new zealand aswell then they have 1 win. Then it goes to net RR right?

But you see SL alread have their RR and if SA don't get to 313 or 314 or whatever it is , their RR is going to be lower then SL, so that means they will be out...

 

[James]

Wait a second:

RSA lose this. They have 1 win from three. So do Sri Lanka.

If england beat new zealand aswell then they have 1 win. Then it goes to net RR right?

Sri Lanka have better net run rate until SA score 313, which probably won't happen

SA are out

(hahaha)

 

[iafzal]

Wait a second:

RSA lose this. They have 1 win from three. So do Sri Lanka.

If england beat new zealand aswell then they have 1 win. Then it goes to net RR right?

YES bit SAF loses by more then 9 runs then they are out period

 

[don1990]

dale steyn in mood of playing some good strokes./,.//./

 

[cricketpassion]

Wait a second:

they need to score 314 runs to go above srilanka

 

[Savak]

Who said Parnel is a good batter, he sucks with the bat.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

they need to score 314 runs to go above srilanka

But this won't make a difference if Eng is beaten by New Zealand.

 

[Juggernaut]

Dale Steyn:

''If the team play to their potential, and this might sound cocky, I really believe no side can match us at the Champions Trophy."

Looks like thats gonna come back to bite him in the backside.

 

[coy0607]

i think at this point most people would probably put their money on pakistan or australia to win this tournament

 

[don1990]

wide

 

[UP]

Wow what an effort from Eng team.

Totally unexpected.

 

[don1990]

South Africa require another 37 runs with 1 wicket and 7 balls remaining

 

[don1990]

one over to go,,,,,,,,,,,.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

come on Parnell hit 6 sixes.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

These two can only take the score probally around 290ish so that means South Africa are offically out.

 

[Savak]

As usual the South Africans bigging themselves before a major tournament especially in their home conditions and falling flat on their faces.

 

[jusarrived]

2 more runs , i get a point out of Parnells batting

 

[cricketpassion]

i think at this point most people would probably put their money on pakistan or australia to win this tournament

My money is on Pakistan

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

6 sixes can bring South Africa victory though it is highly unlikely.

 

[don1990]

broad is today expensive for england.... 9.6 0 67 3 6.70 31 10 1

 

[Seen Sheen]

The Ashes.

Jimmy has been awesome today, toss up between Jimmy and Morgan for man of the match

but it ll go to Shah.

 

[James]

i think at this point most people would probably put their money on pakistan or australia to win this tournament

Aussies are one game from going out and not entirely convincing. Whoever scrapes through out of them and India, probably not going to be their tournament.

NZ are boring

SL are out of form

Pakistan or England to win

 

[don1990]

Required RR 36.00

 

[Mohsin]

2 more runs , i get a point out of Parnells batting

Styen's highest score has a;ready got me the points!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Four from Steyn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[don1990]

steyn told his team management why they send him up the order. i have the germs of batsman

 

[don1990]

last ball

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

I guess looking at the current scenario they should have sent Steyn earlier

 

[don1990]

england wins

 

[cricketpassion]

hosts are out. well done England

 

[Mohsin]

Dear oh dear.........again

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Eng have won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mohsin]

At least it didnt rain this time...

 

[James]

won by 22 runs, through to the semis. woooo

pretty comfortable win in the end really

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bye Bye South Africa.

 

[Civil]

C is for Choke

 

[jusarrived]

Styen's highest score has a;ready got me the points!

where are you on the points table ?

lol parnell gets a over throw , thats 2 points ..what a champ )

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Congratulations England!!

 

[Juggernaut]

England are through.

South Africa out.

New Zealand beat England and their through.

Who would have thunk it!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

England are through.

South Africa out.

New Zealand beat England and their through.

Who would have thunk it!

New Zealand loses then either Sri lanka or New Zealand through.

 

[don1990]

South Africa are knocked out of yet another tournament that they entered as favourites, driven off the front foot to covers for a single, there are four inconsequential overthrows as well

 

[Jo_Don]

Congrats to the poms, they were better on the day. BTW SA didn't choke, England won it. To say that SA choked implies that England didn't win it on their own, which they did.

 

[UP]

This will be our time - AB de Villiers

 

[jusarrived]

is SA the Dinarra safina of cricket ?

 

[don1990]

England outclass SA to reach semis

 

[iZeeshan]

Well, all this does is increase Pakistan's odds of winning it all

 

[don1990]

south africa again proves that they are ,,,,...,,,,/.chokers./,,,..,,,,

 

[Juggernaut]

is SA the Dinarra safina of cricket ?

She aint that good.

Graeme Smith plays a knock and a half.

Captains knock. Shame their was no support.

 

[don1990]

England march into the semi-finals

 

[Juggernaut]

India/Australia tomorrow.

Could another big'un in India be out tomorrow?

 

[Seen Sheen]

At least it didnt rain this time...

[jusarrived]

She aint that good.

Graeme Smith plays a knock and a half.

Captains knock. Shame their was no support.

[don1990]
