    @ nortierd:
    SA deserved winners.

    Good night, and god bless some of you.

  • 272

    Parnell of MacLaren gaan ook dalk baie lopies afstaan, maar hulle sal ook ‘n klompie lopies kry met die kolf. Weet nie wat is fout met Morne nie, moet ruskans kry.

    Good show from Caner

    Even when he’s plastered he remembers his manners!

    Id rather keep tsotsobe, but Morkel is just not good enough anymore, we cant keep showing faith in the guy.

  • 276

    Credit to Duminy who played one of our greatest World T20 innings ever… but Dale Steyn was no doubt man of the match.

  • 277

    They can’t play Morkel against the Dutch
    After what they did to the Irish he will go for 100 in his 4 overs

  • 278

    And his 2 for 31 against Sri Lanka 2 days ago?

    Some kenners have short memories ?

  • 279

    They will use the Dutch game for morkel to regain his form/confidence

  • 280

    Shame, the Dutch are 3 wickets for 1 run

    Great stuff in a winning cause…….o wait
    He is a good test bowler, but this format on those wickets, not so sure

  • 282

    He’s not great on these wickets no but his t20 record is one of the better ones lets not write him off in this format of the game.

    Would I play him in the next game no.

    Smart Stats

    Dale Steyn’s figures of 4 for 17 were his best in World T20s. He has taken 26 wickets at 15.84 with an economy of 6.24 in the tournament.
    Steyn bowled 16 dot balls in this match, equalling the second-highest number of dots most he has bowled in a T20I. He bowled 18 against Zimbabwe in the 2012 World T20. Charl Langeveldt’s 19 dot-balls against Afghanistan in the 2010 World T20 are the most by a South African.
    JP Duminy’s unbeaten 86 is his second-highest score in T20Is and also the second-highest by a No. 5 batsman. Joe Root’s unbeaten 90 against Australia in 2013 is the highest.
    Duminy completed 200 T20I runs against New Zealand. He is the only South Africa batsman with 200-plus runs against a team, and has done it against two other teams – Pakistan and Australia.
    AB de Villiers’ wicket was Nathan McCullum’s 50th in T20Is. He is one of only eight bowlers to take 50 wickets or more.
    Ross Taylor hit his fastest T20I fifty, off 26 balls. His previous fastest was off 30 balls, against Sri Lanka in the 2007 World T20. Martin Guptill’s 23-ball fifty against Pakistan is the fastest fifty by a New Zealand batsman.
