1st Quarter-Final: South Africa v Sri Lanka

Well done JP ... joins Saqlain Mushtaq as the only spinners to get a hat trick in a WC

LOL not even Warnie's got one

SL all out for 133 (37.2 ov)

Disappointing performance by SL !!!

Hope de Kock gets some runs ... he's had a miserable run so far in this tournament

SA 4/0 after 1 ov

Of all the quarters, I thought this would be the most closely contested game and so far just disappointing  ...........

SA 32/0 after 5 ov .... great start by SA  8)

Later folks ... need to go make an apple pie for desert tonight

So happy to see him back in form.

Now back to New Zealand for the semi-final. I hope we get to meet the West Indies there.

Well done Proteas !!! Before the start of this game, I really thought this was one of those that would go down to the wire ..........but not to be. 
A right beat down on SL  8) ...... Googs won't be happy !! 

Sri Lanka 133
South Africa 134/1 (18/50 ov)
South Africa won by 9 wickets (with 192 balls remaining) 

wow!  a saffie love-in!  with west indians too.  sad .

Lanka did not do the job.  I expect the Kiwi or Oz to do it.

no love in these quarters fuh proteas.  none at all!

yet I like the Kiwi but not the Oz.  OZ and proteas..2 peas in a pod

everybody here so lovi dovey and solicitous with Gina. she mus' a prime ministers daughter..De Clerk.  > > >

Way back when....  someone posted a 'Prediction Thread' ....my predictions were AUS/SA/NZ coming down to the nitty gritty !!

I'm sure 'thread grave digger' Krishna will dig that thread up soon enough ...

I cyar wait for the re-rise of a real west indian team.  if I cud I wud purge the wicb myself...hands-on - my own, full of astringent as I disinfect factory road, clean it up and re-organize it.

a real west indian team to put the Saffies in their place. > > > >
