Oh dear.
Aussies are red hot

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
What is the rain forecast??? If there is any chance of rain later on, SA need to just play out 50 overs and have their fingers crossed.
they go through if it is rained off.

David Miller in after 24 on board.
Klaasen and Miller in at the 12th over - it's early for them even by T20 standards
there's a reserve day.. i dont think the weather is so bad to have rain for 2 days
Starc and Hazlewood only have 7 overs left. Now Saffers can milk the lesser bowlers.
Haydos has changed his tune on commentary. This was him a month ago 
10 min monologue ranting about the disgraceful performance. How this lot are an embarrassment compared to the "warriors who have gone before you". Basically like Neville on United commentary.
Started naming all the legends who have been the backbone of the team. Ponting, Border, Waugh, Clarke etc. Threw Finch's name in there too because he was sitting next to him

they’re known for their sporting prowess, not their great thinkers, writers and philosophers.
Some things never change
does every country have its own feed for the mid innings show etc? when it's raining, do you get the same thing in India and Australia on tv?
I know Sky has their own thing
The Indian one is dreadful

There's apparently more intense rain predicted for tomorrow.
Right you are
Aus dont have great 5th bowling options and hes nearly bowled out Hazlewood and Starc here
250 on the board and SA win is still a possibility
India v Australia in India would be some final though. I know most will have India as favourites (especially the way theyve dominated the tournament) but Australia are... Australia. Its like Germany at fifa world cups (well until last couple)
SA not giving up...
Yeah they need to keep smashing Zampa and soften him up
Wouldn't Brazil be a more apt comparison for Australia? World Cup royalty and the yellow to go with it.
Majority of Indian fans consider SA as a significantly easier challenge. Australia just know how to win.
270 on the cards?
I hope so - we're in for a cracker if that happens
Maxwell's bowling better than Zampa right now and he has to go to another bowler. By bowling so much of Starc and Hazlewood, he's restricted himself a bit tactically
Out to Travis Head
Did not expect Head to do that
Big wicket
Travis Head of all people
Oh my god
And now 200 looks far away
Travis fookin Head
That works too.
Australia have peaked at the right time for this tournament to face India in the final.
Australia always know how to get the job done in such occasions and SA always know how not to get the job done. Very disappointing performance by SA till now.
This is going to end up like the England aus semi final of 2019
Disappointingly predictable from SA. Living up to their chokers reputation.
SA need to see out these last ten overs to put something in place to at least try to defend.
aye. a couple of early wickets may cause a little aussie wobble.
I'm not sure this was a choke - that opening spell from Starc and Hazelwood was pretty devastating.
It's time for Aussies to have choke of their own I have a sneaky feeling South Africa are still in this .
Australia when they win this would've made the WC final in

Why didn't he review? What a bum.
Couple of wickets is understandable. 24/4 falls in the realms is choking territory.
They need VAR in cricket.
5 overs left. if they can add 20-30 (get over 200 at least) then they have something. Not great, but its something.
The conditions were against them at the start.. Did very well to get back in it.. gifted Head 2 wickets.. then didnt review that decision when the batter knew he didnt hit it..
SA don't help themselves.

Sad, miller out after the 100
