Probably the only remaining player who has lived through a few of the previous chokes is the only one that comes up clutch today. Poetic.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
I can't see Aussies tripping up now - the hard work is done.
The target at Edgbaston 1999 was 213
Agree
SA need a few early wickets but i dont see AU not doing this with ease.
For me the problem is too much ICC event. One 50 over WC and one T20 WC in every four years is the correct way to go. We can have Asia Cup, tri-nation series, Olympic qualifiers etc in between. Remove champions trophy also.
But we are all here watching it and the icc is making money, so why does it matter?
What? There should be an ICC event every year. Most people don't give a feck about IPL and shite bilateral series that take up majority of the calendar each year.
Oh well, no early wickets. This will be routine as you like.
Pretty horrible bowling
Head back has improved their batting as well..
The finals might not be a walkover after all..

To a philistine American when it comes to cricket, the breakdown by imo the best baseball commenter in social media has even further intrigued me to learn more about this sport...
SA have given up. Shame.
SA haven't given up. Back in the game.
Yup I love ICC events, bilateral series I don't care for whatsoever. They are like football friendlies.
IPL, PSL, 100 and other such T20 events have the potential to form into a Champions league sort of thing if they do it right, but long way to go for that.
They need like 3 more wickets here to be back in the game the way they got pummeled at the beginning
Marsh is doing a great impression of a walking wicket right now though
2 wickets down now 
That is an incredible catch
Smith and Marnus need to play their trademark wasteman innings.
Nice one
You've been intrigued by a player who's unlike 99% of the other cricketers, playing an innings unlike 99.999% of other innings in the international game
They kept picking them for this exact situation I guess.
Shades of Gibbs
Awful drop that.
Why is Bavuma not bowling his spinners. Bring on maharaj or shamsi. What is he waiting for.
Head wants to finish soon
Agree. Weird captaincy. Bowling markram and then Coetzee on a pitch where it’s clearly turning.
Especially after seeing his part time spinner getting purchase from the pitch , he brings on a pacer to replace rabada. All the pressure was released. Stupid captaincy
Hey, at least I'm intrigued!Nice one

Has to be some of the dumbest captaincy in awhile
It's ripping and he's waited 14 overs to bring on his two specialist bowlers

If SA can get one or two more wickets here to put a bit of pressure on Australia, that would be good for the match.
Oooooohhhhhhh
How's the umpire not given that out... looked abosolutely nailed on real time.
Impact looked outside off to me in real time.. so I can understand why the umpire didnt give that.
Kettleborough strikes again
Marnus moved around a bit to put the umpire off right on impact
head always makes me want to finish soon.
De Kock went too hard at that attempt
Jay Shah will be planning on airlifting this pitch to Ahmedabad
If SA had 50 more runs on the board, this wouldve been so close..
90 is too few.
