Good finish by Bresnan, but great win by SA. Thats the stuff. Feel much better now after that dreadful Stormers performance!!!!!
Flippin close game in the end!
Not a good over BA Barakus , but i will ten times take this compared to the last few Bulls minutes
59 @ nortierd:Good call!
Good win Hendriks a concern nobody to replace him with.
Superb from AB

I’m happy, should move up to about 100 odd globally now
Cricket is looking good so far
Steyn 1/44, that would have made us stone Morne Morkel.
Maybe a good eye opener for our star bowler
But we were in great control
Now this was a quick Cricket thread…. hehehe
67 @ superBul:I think he was just concerned with putting the ball in the right place at the end there, he knew that all the sixes in the world wouldn’t help as long as it is was legal ball.
So, the Blomme slipped up against Sri Lanka, just beat New Zealand, Netherlands and now England!
They would end up as No 2 in their Pool
Last 5 ovs 60/2 RR 12.00
@ grootblousmile:
Tomorrow India can send our beloved Aussies home
Cheers all, have a great rest of the w/end – see you all next week for some more cricket and rugby action
73 @ Just For Kicks:
Tjorts… nice early evening for a change for all of us
AB de Villiers is Man of the Match: “It was a great game the boys did extremely well. It’s very tough to field in. I knew from the start we had to be unpredictable and mix things up. But once again the execution of the bowlers was amazing. I’ve lost a few as captain in T20s and it was important for me to go through and get Faf back pumped for the semi-finals.”
72 @ superBul:
India is a dangerous side….
Cheers
77 @ superBul:
Tjorts!
@ superBul:
Don’t count the last three balls from Steyn, even though it went for plenty. He was just concentrating on not bowling a “no ball.”
@ gunther:
Morne Morkel?
@ Clovis:
Computer says no.
@ Clovis:
Robbie P that’s who we need.
@ gunther:
We are way to conservative to use 3 spinners (Tahir, Duminy, Robbie/Phangiso)even though the record shows that out of the top 10 best T20 bowlers, 9 are spinners.
We had to take Robbie P… but alas only 1 or 2 more games
This two games is like knock out games now
30th Match, Group 1: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Chittagong
Mar 31, 2014 (19:30 local | 13:30 GMT | 15:30 SAST)
32nd Match, Group 2: Pakistan v West Indies at Dhaka
Apr 1, 2014 (19:30 local | 13:30 GMT | 15:30 SAST)
India did demolish Australia by 73 runs leaving Australia with 3 out of 3 losses
India won all 4 their games
SA is save in the semis with 3 wins from 4
NZ vs Sri Lanka can shuffle the Group 1 standings,
@ Clovis:
Faf can spin, but he needs AB to captain then. Cant do it to himself?
@ superBul:
That would be a huge risk… He can spray them and hasn’t bowled for a while… I don’t know why we took so many quickies when we knew the conditions favour spin…
@ superBul:
We back our spinners when its going well, against the dutch Duminy only bowled one over.
@ Gumboots:
agree now it will be.
I feel that Steyn and Morkel must be on together. Fast barrage followed by mixed attack
