Official Cricket Thread Part 237

[Axver]

Oh my god how was that not run out hahaha. Definitely a let off there.

 

[dan_smee]

Game is absolutely 50-50 at this point.

Thrilling stuff.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Too many dot balls.

 

[dan_smee]

Too many dot balls.

It's 8 an over - do-able if they keep the wickets in hand. Straight boundaries are tiny - with 5 overs to go they just need to be within 50 and have wickets in hand to take on the fielders

 

[dan_smee]

Anderson seeing them very well to be nudging those straight balls to third man.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Good partnership but they really need to start ramping up the aggression now.

 

[Axver]

I'm close to heart failure. We really need a big over to eat into that RRR.

 

[dan_smee]

Good partnership but they really need to start ramping up the aggression now.

Don't agree. They should be targeting 4 down, 50 to get in 5 overs. They are under control, the only way they can lose is not having enough wickets in hand.

 

[dan_smee]

They are doing absolutely the right thing - waiting for the right ball. Slightly over-pitched or too short and they are onto it, hitting into safe areas. If they are both there in 3 overs they make it comfortably

 

[dan_smee]

My God Iain Smuth over-emotes. "AB De Villiers has said this is unfair to my bowlers". Really?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Superb fifties from the both of them. Especially Anderson, he looked so nervous under pressure against Australia, but so calm here.

Co-signed. A+ effort.

 

[bono_man2002]

Shit.

 

[Axver]

Noooo.

Amazing over from Morkel though.

 

[youarenotimmune]

What an over by Morkel.

This match is absolutely amazing.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Darude Sandstorm. Nice. So 90s.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I still have no idea who's going to win.

 

[Axver]

Cannot. Breathe.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Advantage South Africa.

 

[youarenotimmune]

Can't believe they mucked up another runout.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

23 off 12. I can't see it happening. It's doable, yes, but ...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

That is the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen! Holy shit!

 

[youarenotimmune]

11 needed off the last over. THIS IS AMAZING!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

This is the most drama I've ever seen in a cricket match.

 

[Axver]

I can't take any more of this!

 

[Babydoll]

10 off 4. I can't watch!

 

[dan_smee]

You feel they needed a boundary off one of the first two
