2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 47 Second Semi Final South Africa v Australia 16/11 1900hrs @ Eden Gardens

[Plugger35]

SA happy to just not lose wickets against Hazlewood

Yeah it looks like they are just trying to see him off without losing wickets, sensible move, there are easier bowlers they can target for runs.

 

[dumb]

Quiet restart, SA waiting for lesser bowlers

 

[The Tilt]

At least Hayden isn’t Michael Slater.

small mercies

 

[Bedi]

reckon i could've hit that for six too

 

[dogs105]

Quicker stuff working well. Maybe don't toss it up again Zamps

 

[Plugger35]

Miller liking Zampa more than Hazlewood.

 

[AJ_2000]

Hmmm. Could be some strategic bowling of Hazlewood here. Get him his 10 before we start losing overs.

Spin not as threatening.

The way we've bowled Hazelwood all world cup is to leave him on 8 or 9 overs and bowl everyone else out that's way more expensive

 

[BACCS]

Zampa can struggle a bit against left handers, would be tempted to try Marsh for a couple of overs

 

[Jamurp]

250 would be competitive, these two would need to make 180 of them though.

 

[Moonwatcher]

This partnership has been quite impressive 38 from 42

 

[HK_Hawk]

C'mon Zamps. Just tie it up. No need to float tempting pies.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why is Hazelwood off for

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Let’s bring on the bowler that gets smacked

Great plan

 

[Balls In]

Cummins and Zampa releasing the pressure

 

[dogs105]

Zevon...

 

[HK_Hawk]

FFS Pat. Way below his best this WC

 

[gtrxuone]

The outfield is really quick.

 

[dogs105]

Nice areas Maxy

 

[BACCS]

Man if that Miller edge first ball had carried an extra cm…

 

[1990crow]

FFS Pat. Way below his best this WC

Better bowlers in shield cricket currently.

 

[010203]

Quick over by Maxwell.

 

[Plugger35]

250 would be competitive, these two would need to make 180 of them though.

Yeah they can't rely on their lower order to make many runs in these conditions.

For the sake of this game being a contest it would be good if these two could get SA over 200 to give their bowlers something to work with.

 

[MJG14]

Still in a good position. These two are capable though and we don't want to let them get away.

 

[The Passenger]

250 would be competitive, these two would need to make 180 of them though.

250 would be a tough chase for sure but we should be aiming to be chasing much much less than that from here.

 

[Zevon]

Zevon...

Sorry dogs. I got distracted by some of the Miller Thriller Killer action out there
