Zoë Sumra Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Also: McCullum, WTF WAS THAT? MORON!! I know I picked SA to win,but I thought you'd do *something*...At least McCullum may give us a few fielding points. I'm less optimistic about Guptill... :bang: Never thought I would live to see the day of South Africa opening with a spin bowler and playing three spinners in the same line-up :stunned:.NZ look to be struggling here, but I'm not going to write them off just yet as they have often proved to be a stumbling block for the Saffies in World Cups.Maybe they've learnt to adapt to the conditions. Also, they've proved no total is too low for them to fail to chase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestrit Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Was just about to post that NZ had to get either Kallis or ABD out soon to have any chance of preventing a complete humpingand then Kallis gets out.If NZ can get either Duminy or de Villiers quickly here, then we've got a chance (how good a chance I'm not sure, but it's still a chance).But if these two settle in then she's all over.

Paxter Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 SA seem to be choking yet again - amazingly they have never won a knockout game in a Word Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vestrit Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 This is so awesome!!!Weirdly, I said to Mrs Vestrit last night that I expected SA to thrash us, but that winning this game is the kind of thing this NZ side would go and do. Be crap for most of the tournament and then go and win the quarter final against a much better teamETA: that said, am I right in thinking that Morkal has a history of walloping the ball? If we let him get his eye in the game could still be SA's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Well this is going to well and truly stuff up my fantasy team, I thought South Africa were the one team that were nailed on to go through. Bloody saffers choking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IheartTesla Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 As Ravi Shastri is wont to say : "It aint over until someone large sings". Maybe Faf can pull off a Miandad, sheparding Morkel and Tahir through the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ithanos Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 :stunned: Heart says Hell Yeah NZ!Brain says Tahir's your captain for this game, let him score 40 runs first, then get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Haha Mapu :cheers:.Incidentally, is this the first time NZ have outperformed Aus in the WC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I share an office with a South African (and two Englishmen, both of whom are on leave). Our bosses are out of the office this afternoon. We may go to the pub shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestrit Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Haha Mapu :cheers:.Incidentally, is this the first time NZ have outperformed Aus in the WC?No, in 1992 we made the semis and the Australians didn't.In fact we almost made the final. Had Pakistan in all sorts of trouble and then a teenager called Inzaman-ul-Haq came to the wicket and walloped us out of Eden ParkBack to this game - thank christ for du Plessis getting out. I was getting a bit nervous there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Wow. That was a sad outing for SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sad for SA, and in particular I feel a bit for Kallis, but all credit to the Kiwis.Even that fucking useless twat B McCullum. Some captain he turned out to be. First he fucks up his own batting, then he gets his foot in the way and gets my SA batsman out. :PI'm even prepared to say that I will barrack for NZ in the semi - given that they have made a stack of semi-finals before and never made the final.
