    @ smallies72:
    Die Proteas het die grootste squad nog ooit daar by die CWC. Dink daar is iets soos 23 SA gebore spelers daar, verspreid in al die spanne.

    More smallies, het jy gesien die Shimlas se paadjie na die Varsity semi finale is die maklikste. Moet net nie dat die Madibaz julle aan die slaap vang nie

    @ superBul:2 – That is true Super. Saffas are in quite a few teams there. Think England and Holland have 4 saffas each in their teams. Canada has one. Then not sure who else has saffas in their team.

    Hello,

    What a kak day I’ve had so far… left for Pretoria at about 08:00, did not even get halfway when the BMW started overheating… spent about an hour under and over the bloody thing just to eventually find out that a R 44.00 plastic Water System Breather Screw had broken and was leaking so that the pressure in the system was way down…

    What a crock of shit… anyway… half a day farked in it’s moer.

    Now I come back to see the Proteas are batitng like maggots.

  19. grootblousmile
    March 15th, 2011 at 13:30 SAST

    You guys think we’ll get close to 280 or 300 on this batting wicket?

    15 overs remaining and 133 to get to get to 300… 5 wickets to do it with.. that means about 9 runs an over for the remaining overs.

  20. Tripples
    March 15th, 2011 at 14:02 SAST

    Hi GBS, dink ons sal so 260 se kant kry, think our bowlers will be able to take them on!!!

  21. Tripples
    March 15th, 2011 at 14:03 SAST

    correction I think about 280

  22. grootblousmile
    March 15th, 2011 at 14:25 SAST

    It’s now 255 / 6 after 48.2 overs…. 10 balls left…

  23. grootblousmile
    March 15th, 2011 at 14:28 SAST

    Proteas 267 / 6 with 6 balls left to bat.

  24. grootblousmile
    March 15th, 2011 at 14:34 SAST

    Proteas 272 / 7 after their 50 overs…. maybe a tad lighter than they should have been

    Ireland needs 273 to win at 5.46 per over.

    March 15th, 2011 at 14:44 SAST

    Well done Duminy. Went on 99 but could have got the 1 for his hundred. Sacrificed it trying to get the 6 for his team. Kudos to you JP for thinking of the team firs and not being selfish. Respect.

    Now hope we can bowl em out quick.

    GBS, I am having trouble getting rt then when I do it takes me about 10min to log in. Also posting is taking forever. Hope this goes through now.

    March 15th, 2011 at 14:53 SAST

    @ grootblousmile:26 – hehehehe. Not my pc boeta. I have been posting during the crici on sw and it goes through pronto. Also posted a bit on keo and it is going through no problem

    Not only the posting, but could not even get rt at all. Wanted to post here during the crici when we played India. Only managed one post and it bombed me out. Even refreshing takes very long. It might be sorted out now. Will time this post and see how long it takes.

  28. Puma
    March 15th, 2011 at 14:57 SAST

    My post 27 took 1min to go through. That is long gbs. Not sure why it is taking so long. But at least I can post now. My posts were not even going through since Friday. Actually could not get rt like I said.

    Will post during the rest of the crici here now. That is if I don’t get hassles with it taking time to go through.

    Also have a bit of work to catch up with now, but will watch the crici from time to time.

  30. Bullscot
    March 15th, 2011 at 15:30 SAST

    Looks like Sa did well in the end after a weak start, is it a slow wicket or was there just some silly batting, see there were 2 run outs.

    19/2 looking good, hello Puma

    25/2 after 5 overs.

    @ Bullscot:31 – Howzit Bullscot.

    Sorry Scotland never beat England. Never saw the game but it sure was close.

  33. Puma
    March 15th, 2011 at 15:44 SAST

    @ Bullscot:32 – Bullscot, gonna say howzit again here. Cause it don’t show on the recent comments if I don’t reply first to your post…lol.

  34. Bullscot
    March 15th, 2011 at 15:49 SAST

    @ Puma:
    Cheers man yes was a pity, the game was close although England seemed to have a lot more possesion as the game went on but Scotland defence was really good, just came down to 10 points England got when Barclay was in the sin bin, the painful thing was they got a converted try in the last minute that he was off the field.
    Do you think Ireland can pull of another surprise today? Is Tsotsobe injure still, cause would have thought he should have played today if fit, maybe given Steyn or Morkel a rest?

  35. Puma
    March 15th, 2011 at 15:55 SAST

    @ Bullscot:34 – Yeah, would have loved to have seen Scotland beat England. Pity.

    Thought Lopsey (Tsotsobe’s nic name) was gonna play today. To get some game time if they need him later on. He was bowling really well against India when they were here. He might get a game against Bangladesh.

    No don’t think Ireland will beat us now after we got those early two wickets.

    March 15th, 2011 at 16:07 SAST

    @ Puma: 35; see another wicket down, should soon be time for our spinners to come on, interesting to see how they go.

  37. Puma
    March 15th, 2011 at 16:11 SAST

    @ Bullscot:36 – Bullscot, just been working a bit. So never saw that wicket go.

    We should win this one.

  38. Puma
    March 15th, 2011 at 16:13 SAST

    Okay just checked the cricket now.

    52/4 after 12 overs. We should win this one easy.

    Then England were in a good position to win it and Ireland won that game. So have to wait and see.

  39. Bullscot
    March 15th, 2011 at 16:20 SAST

    @ Puma: 37 Yip have to agree there Puma, see Botha came on and took a wicket quickly. The run rate is still below 6 an over for them to get and o’Brian is in again but I can’t see him pulling off another performance like against England. Outta here now cheers man.

  40. Puma
    March 15th, 2011 at 16:26 SAST

    @ Bullscot:39 – Cheers Bullscot.

    I am out of here now as well.

    We should win this one easy. 67/4

    Ireland have been blown away, and South Africa complete a 131-run win in Kolkata. The Irish fought really hard in the field, keeping South Africa pegged back with wickets, but they couldn’t keep it up with the bat. They managed to keep up with the asking rate, but at the expense of wickets, which fell at regular intervals. If you missed any of today’s play, we have the perfect remedy: Nitin Sundar’s match bulletin.

    William Porterfield “We started off pretty well, got wickets up front and pegged them back. We were happy enough at half time chasing 270 but just lost wickets. We’ve been pretty good with our ground fielding throughout the tournament but we missed a couple of catches. We’ve shown competitive spirit, in a lot of the games we kept ourselves in the game. We’ve got a lot of positives from this tournament.”
    Graeme Smith: “I think you can always nitpick, but there were some good signs today. We put ourselves under pressure with some stupid run outs but the guys responded really well after that, especially JP [Duminy] who batted really well under pressure. He really held things together, and then Colin Ingram, who hasn’t played for a while, came in and batted well. We’ve done the first part of his now.”
    No surprises, JP Duminy is the Man of the Match: “The circumstances were a bit tense [when I came in], the key was to try and stay as calm as possible. I’ve done it a fair number of times now, and I’ve grown into this role nicely, and I hope it continues. I was trying to hit the ball out of the ground at the end, you never know when a few runs might make all the difference in the game.”

    Aoife Nolan: “I am still an Irish Blonde and I still support the redheads!!!”
    shuvo_Kalmar: “@Aoife Nolan, i am in the same folk with you. See you redheads next WC hopefully with some more excitment.” I’ll second that.

    Kannan: “Good catch from van Wyk – now he can celebrate it with a haircut.. must be brutal with the heat over there – geez.”
    33.2

    Morkel to Dockrell, OUT, superb catch from van Wyk! Morkel slammed one down much shorter, it leapt up at young Dockrell and took the edge of the shoulder of the bat, the keeper tumbled to his right to complete the dismissal and that’s the end of Ireland
    GH Dockrell c †van Wyk b Morkel 16 (19m 12b 3×4 0×6) SR: 133.33
    33.1

    Morkel to Dockrell, FOUR, cracked over cover! Is there anything George Dockrell can’t do?
    Smith goes for the kill and brings back Morkel

    Hmm, you cant even just get it right anymore on superbru…a number of ou’s have overtaken me now, because of their score predictions….this is not good. I thought Ireland would have put up a better fight though, so my prediction of SA by 50 runs was way out!!
