QF South Africa vs Sri Lanka 18th March 2015 @ Sydney (1st QF)

Heheh.. looks like SA officially passed 'choker monkey' on to SL last night.

Re: QF South Africa vs Sri Lanka 18th March 2015 @ Sydney (1st QF)

At one stage Sanga was on 5 off 40 deliveries. The match was lost right there.

There is this conventional wisdom that you have to consolidate if couple wickets fall quickly. Statistically this would happen once in a while. Batsmen just need to play the ball on its merit.

SA have reached SF before as well, in 1999

To shake off 'chokers' tag they need to reach the Final first.

SL has been far more consistent and much better player of spin, in their prior scores of below 200 (and losing) it has been SA pacers the culprits, but yesterday SA spinners took 7 wickets!!

Pak on other has been inconsistent anyways, so it can happen, but I believe it will be other way around :insh:

SA won coz I opened the thread and I was backing them up :snooty:

Waisey I was not expecting SL to fold in front of spinners. Generally they are good players of spin. Good job SA. Because of them I was able to go to bed early :slight_smile:

I feel sorry for Sanga and Jaya, they deserved a better send off.
