They don't have any dickheads anymore and watching Morkel and de Villiers so upset got to me. If there is any ground India can upset Australia on it's the SCG. No idea who is going to win India have a terrible record at the SCG though, only winning 1 of their past 14 outings at the ground | ||

Dropping Elliott in the second last over with everything on the line in such a comical fashion. Let alone the pair of gilt-edged runout chances missed. They didn't choke as hard as they have in the past but they still choked. | ||

Still washing the beer out of my hair. Off to Sydney then. Hope its another cracker. P.S "Choke Steyns everywhere."

I have way to much data left on the sim I got here and i went straight from the game to the airport. I should be in Sydney in a few hours. And sorry. I should correct myself. Not the greatest moment. Its perhaps better to say the greatest moment so far... | ||

Bad selection move imo I was bitching about it all game. I am a real fan of Kyle Abbot and I think Philander is painfully over rated. Hes a metronome who requires conditions that suit his shape away seam to be effective and that too only if he is in rhythm Steyn and Philander both had miserable world cups and did themselves no favors. Guy like Starc and Boult have raised their already high levels and here Steyn got clobbered out of the game by Baz and he never made it back. | ||

It was very frightening to see AB and Miller in full flight. Also agree with Bob that the SA adjusted total was reasonable. However, I would say Faf/AB/Miller/JP are one of the best groups of slog overs batsmen around, so they may well have scored more than 346. Regardless, 330+ from 50 overs is even more difficult than 298 from 43. Whichever team lost this match could look back at several missed opportunities. This was one of the most intense and most human games of cricket around. The anxiety and pressure was palpable. NZ's missed catches, the unnecessary Guptill runout when NZ were cruising, and Corey's inability to get off strike in the over when he was dismissed, could all be looked at as 'what if' moments. Unfortunately for SA, it was the rain, their missed runouts and missed catches that will go down as the 'what if' moments. Such is the nature of a contest between two even teams that goes to the wire. Commiserations to SA. I thought you guys weren't going to beat SL after the woes against India and Pakistan, but you gave them the most crushing knockout defeat at world cups before putting on one of the thrilling ODI matches of all time. The match was played in awesome spirit - a good contrast to the last world cup match between the two teams. Sorry we couldn't meet in the final. For the other semi, I think Australia are favourites but that it will be a hard-fought match. India are a different team in big tournaments and they knocked Australia out of the last world cup. This is not the India that failed to win a match on their Australian tour. Anyway, both the Kiwis and the Saffers have banished their Aussie demons in recent years. We will provide a great contest for whomever advances tomorrow. Quality Kiwi quicks have a history of success in Australia. | ||
