I think we made that very easy on England with the bat ... far too easy imo.
True, lots of silly shots from the recognized batsmen.
Should have been working the ball around and try to take it further down the innings before hitting out.
Faf, Quinny, Hash, Rassie all out playing low percentage shots
Our bowling isn't brilliant - and our batsmen have been really poor the whole tournament (expected).
Our fielding used to be brilliant ... but well ... world cup = time to choke.
It's pretty frustrating ... especially when AB was willing to come back for the tourney (i.e. great fielder, great batter and a game winner).
Time to retire the elderly - Alma, Duminy etc and build around the young kids in hope they can develop into a competent ODI team.
Team needs to be gutted from the top down ... I think I've seen grass grow faster than how we bat on the power play ... The idea the team was 'good enough' when AB came calling was shocking ... I hope there's some up n' coming kids to strengthen the shaky (it is what it is) core of QdK, Ngidi, Rabada & Markram.
But AB wanted to have his cake and eat it too...
True - but when you have your greatest batting talent wanting to come back, you take him back ... it's not like he was a cunt as a teammate etc
I can see england suffering from overconfidence by thinking they genuinely beat India, and duly collapsing against new zealand. As long as pakistan avoid the local sisha bars and put some effort into their preparations, then they're the favourites to get into the top four for me.
Yeah, this is a nonsense theory. The fact that Kohli was having a good whine about the boundaries afterwards tells you they wanted to win.
If England remember they've been the best team in the world in the past few years instead of playing like bitches they'll beat New Zealand.

Im off to Old Trafford tomorrow in my SA shirt. We applied for any game last year and got 6 tickets for SA v Australia. Shame there is fuck all on the game really but im gonna have a good day verbally abusing the convicts. Meeting in town at 9.30am to start on the ale so its gonna be a loooonng day.
You have a Proteas or Bafana or Boks shirt?
India messed up when they slowed down v eng in the group stage to ensure Pak didn't get through.
They managed to see if Bangladesh but didn't look at the races v NZ at all.
A great display by Eng today and it's a NZ Eng final.. surely englands trophy.
Just to mention yeah yeah smashed the ball a million miles etc but the skill of Guptil and Buttler to hit a stump from distance with pace is fricking mental.

What an imperious display yesterday - one of the best ever from England. I was at the group game vs Aus and I felt Woakes bowled just as well there but just didnt get the rub of the green (lbw not given, edges evading people, missing the bat a few times) so was confident we could rattle through their openers with a bit of luck.
The final is going to be epic. Ferguson back for NZ will be big as they missed him in our group game.
Jason Roy is tremendous and has no doubt earned himself an opening spot in the test team. His driving was textbook.
I'm off to the final on Sunday. This could be once in a lifetime stuff. Come on England!
