25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Barry Richards' optimism is commendable. He is like 'if they somehow can get to 150-160' oo oooo.. it just might turn out to be a great game.

yeah well if pigs could fly.

Tait dropped the easiest catch ever.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Ian Botham has just said" that South Africa will be disappointed with this score". Really?
- from Cricinfo.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Lengeveldt is so stupid. He had to block two deliveries and give strike to Kemp.

By the way Hats off to Kemp for a very good innings.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

and with that has he dropped Aussies chances of the Final…?

:halo:

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

All out for 149

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

SA out for 149 and Aussies have this in the bag!

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Australia V Sri Lanka final.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

149 to get.....

Aus batsmen are shivering ... !

Serious Note:
Lets see how fire power SA bowling attack has. Its hard to win for SA. They can only win if Aus want to lose it!

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Target: 150

SA will need a couple of hat-tricks… :k:

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

wt ..
I thought I would see one good match.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Fight back a word which u cannot use against this "Aussies'' .They would fight back .but they will never allow any other team to ..i don't think the final would be a cracking one.Aussies will roll over the Lankans .Ponting and Hayden must be like ''Bring on Vaas ,Malinga .......''

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Seeing SA collapse in such unbelievable fashion today, Jayawardene must now be doubly confused and really wondering whether to bat first if he won the toss in the final.

We all felt that SLA’s best chance against the Aussies was to bat first and score 270+ because they possess a potent and varied bowling attack

Pakistan’s humiliation in 1999 WC Final is an even lesser reason to bat first against the Aussies

He might prefer to chase (cf. 1996) now hoping that his bowlers can restrict the Aussies to < 250

but in 2003 WC semi final SLA batsmen made a real mess chasing a very gettable 213 for victory

So there are no easy answers against these damn Aussies IMHO.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

ooook, now my prediction, Aussies will wrap this up in under 25 overs.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

*If Australia win again (and I don't mean the semi-final which is a foregone result) they should get a "bye" and go directly to the final of 2011 world cup. Rest of the teams should play among themselves and choose a winner to meet Australia. *

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Rightly said.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Goneeeeeeeeeeeee AUS 1/1 :D

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

Gilchrist looks hopelessly out of form.

Re: 25 April - 2nd semi-final: Australia v South Africa

:hula: Kisi nay dhaga pakka kar dya hai :hula:

Aus 2/1 off 1.1 overs…a few hat-tricks needed urgently… :slight_smile:
