We’ve got a very good record vs New Zealand in knockout tournaments… surely they are due one

Did feel for Bangladesh though - thought they were on the receiving end of a few harsh decisions this tournament- a couple of calls their way and they could easily have made semis

No point NZ winning the semis, we'll know they'll lose the final regardless

India look good.
Cant wait for Thursday
Will be a great game. Need our middle order to turn up

There are different levels of decisions.. one is where there is a umpire/technology mistake like today… there are others like umpires deliberately bringing players back on a wet wicket given one team were desperate.

Then you have other ICC decisions where one team ALWAYS plays last knowing exactly what is needed and therefore getting preferential treatment over others. Many other examples too

Levels.

Fact.



Also, India you corrupt barstewards. How dare you play to win and give poorer teams a chance to qualify.

BCCI were unhappy with Sakhib accusations so the umpires took retribution

So disappointed in SA.

Genuinely thought they were the best team and to lose to Holland is just insane.

Any of the 4 teams left could win it.

Perfect Sunday.200 pushup,1 kilometres swimming and Pakistan in semis

posted on 6/11/22

I have to say, I haven't seen a worse choke in cricket than I did last night. SA lost to Netherlands and were bossed by them at the end.

I actually think it's an insult to even call this a choke. SA haven't been relevant in big tournaments since 2015 (and even then they were on life support).

Even past times where they have been said to have choked, thinking of Aussie semi WC 1999, India T20 WC 2007, Pakistan T20 WC 2009, NZ WC 2011, 2015. At least those losses were to very good sides who looked like winning a tournament. This was an abysmal performance.

Standard of South African has fallen. That quota policy and other discriminatory policies have led them down. They were a world class team since their reemergence till Steyn, Amla,DeVilliers era but they have fallen behind since

Pakistan chances of making to finals nosedive as Erasmus is announced as one of the two umpires for the final

Tbh 2015 50-over tournament was the only decent tournament they played since 1999.

They were brilliant in tests for a long time tho. They went over 9 years without losing a test series away from home at one point - which is insane (roughly 06-15).

Oh yes in Tests, SA were the 1st team to win in Australia for 15 years around 2008 and they won in England in 2012 when England were ranked number 1. As a Test team, they were very good for a long, long time.

They also won the 1st ever Champions Trophy and the Commonwealth Games in 1998.

However, the tournaments have been really disappointing. In 2003, SA were at home and lost in the Group Stage, rain spoilt things for them but they should've never been in that position in the first place.

2011 was a great chance, they beat India in the Group Stage, had NZ in the QF and SL in the semis, all winnable matches in2011 was a great chance, they beat India in the Group Stage, had NZ in the QF and SL in the semis, all winnable matches in which SA probably would've been favourites.

Yeah, they won 3 straight Test series in Australia; 2008/09, 12/13 and 16/17.

Also won b2b in England, 2008 & 2012.

Drew a couple series in India during that run also.

They were phenomenal in Tests.

The one that annoys me is how they lost to NZ in the 2015 ODI SFs. I was looking forward to a Aus-SA Final; Steyn, ABD, Starc, Warner etc. Then they flopped it and NZ predictably folded vs Aus.

Standard of South African cricket has fallen post Devilliers, Steyn and Amla etc. They do not have a single world class batsman.I expect them to bounce back strongly since they are a sporting nation

Kiwi win toss and bat. Every team who has batted first at Sydney has won.
