2019 Cricket ODI WC
-
This is quality bowling from Bumrah
-
Big time shot down the ground. 12 off 5.
-
Arghhh Nabi gone.
12 off 3 and no hitters left.
-
india win and Shami closes the game with a walkoff hattrick.
-
Looking at the table and fixtures, both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have India to play which means it's pretty unlikely they will go 3 for 3. If Sri Lanka beats SA and WI and it's rained off v India and we lose every game from now on then they could sneak in on NRR. Or they could win every game and we lose every game. All scenarios also include the other current semi teams surpassing us - England has Aus+Ind+NZ and have to win at least 2 of those to surpass us which is also unlikely.
Basically the only scenarios where we don't make the semis are extremely unlikely. England not making it is more likely I would think.

Fair to say this tournament has been an unmitigated disaster for SA. I knew they were an aging team but really thought they'd at least make a push for a semi final berth. Absolutely nothing has gone right for them.
Next big game is Aus v England tomorrow night - should be an absolute cracker.

Their fielding was disgraceful last night. Missed catches could have made the game close. They really are in a state

A state of riches after betting against themselve?

@canefan can see their cricket falling in a heap if their governance is anything like the leadership in the rest of the country. That was a team unlike any from the republic in my time at least

They had a lot of black players, and a black coach. I assume they have a quota system in place? Not saying they aren't good players mind you

Hanse is in his mountain lair orchestrating the whole thing
Hansie once walked off raising his bat after scoring 30 odd in an ODI. Even before the match fixing fiasco I remember thinking what a colossal dickwad he was then. My views of him only got worse.

Look at the Zimbabwe Cricket team. They are being crushed by Netherlands at the moment.

@Sneakdefreak cant recall the name, but was listenign to an interview with former Afghanistan Coach (think he was English?) a couple of weeks back and he was saying he had to take a different route to and from trainings every day, armed guards at trainings and the like...shame really, cos that is likely to hinder any chance of them getting to much better, let alone ever hosting a match!
