Hardie's bowling has seriously improved this season.

ICC pissed at them, expect quite a slap with that wet lettuce leaf

No shame whatsoever.

Someone check their pockets.

Bizarre from NZ to play Southee instead of Sodhi for me.

 

[Forward Press]

One positive of this thrashing would be reading Plugger's tears.

India must be unbackable favourites to win this World Cup but whether it's SA or us imagine if they somehow choked this one.

So people know if both days are rained out SA progress straight to WC final without a ball being bowled.

Yyyyyyyyup. Seems like cosmic payback for 1992 and 1999.

 

[Ochre]

It's the 2020 Womens T20 semi all over again. SA go through if it's rained out, looks like no chance they'll get play. Get on late for a rain interrupted match and Aus steal it.

A shame England can't be knocked out by the other semi being rained out this time.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Another big score coming up first dig here. Boring.

Will go down as one of the dullest World Cups of all time, assuming India win, but because there will be a 1.5 billion locals celebrating it won't be reported as such.

Kohli will crawl to a century here if he has to.

 

[KBLT]

I would love to beat India in the final, and only win because Kohli wanted the personal milestone over helping the team.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Give me a World Cup with green monsters, low scoring tense chases, batsmen actually being tested, great spells of pace bowling.

Or, you know, decks with something in it for everyone. Not 1/220 after 30.

 

[Dazzler9]

Back to real cricket. Cam Bancroft snared 5 catches at 2nd slip today.

Hardie's bowling has seriously improved this season.

Reckon this is good for green. Mitch has his test spot but it’s not a long term thing and now there’s enough competition for that spot where he has the pressure to perform each game. Tho I think “green the next big thing” phase is over with him now entering his mid 20’s.

On hardie he’s had two 50’s (one 99) and 48 on his three shield games so he is also going alright with bat in hand.

 

[darksquare]

NZ giving this a fair crack. I’d like the crowd to get nervous.

NZ just dazzled

 

[RookiePick]

Just good honest triers the Kiwi team.

I think India had at least 50 too many and thought NZ would end up all out for 250ish in the chase.

To keep fighting past 300 is a decent bit of grit but they lost the match with the ball.

Despite the scores it's good to see a bowler get motm.

 

[Tugga27]

That last wicket partnership of 44 for SA turning out to be crucial.

Banners got out to a pie and the other 3 bats were ordinary shots.

Wyllie fails again.
Philippe will be on his last chance you'd think.

 

[ioppolo]

That last wicket partnership of Nathan McAndrew for SA turning out to be crucial.

.

Ftfy.

It's not so bad when you look him up and see he has 8 FC fifties at an average of 30. Not bad for a number 9.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

I guess 22 qualifies as a blinder for Philippe.

 

[DanWCE]

Moisture still expected to impact tonight's semi?

 

[Tugga27]

Not questioning his ability.
More than its nearly the highest partnership of the match and its for the 10th wicket.

Game is evenly poised now.

Much prefer these types of pitches than a road.

Is it too early for #sackvoges #notmycoach ?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Rocco should bat at 3.

Might not win all three titles for the third time in a row - I say we sack him and try and lure Baz from England.
