Last 15 overs and Duckworth Lewis !

> > STUFF DUNGWORTH[LESS]!!  >  Match should have been played out, full 50 per side, even if
wasn't finished before 1 a.m.    >

South Africa were 184/3 after 35 overs. South Africa's run-rate this World Cup in the last 15 overs is 11.84. Scoring at their average run rate in the last 15 overs would have got them to 361. There is also a good chance they would have scored more as New Zealand had used up the majority of their overs from their frontline bowlers by this point. When the rain came, with 12 overs remaining, Southee, Boult and Henry had 5 overs left to bowl between them. Vettori had 1 left, leaving New Zealand to cobble together 5 overs out of Anderson, Elliott or Williamson.

As I am sure India and Australia are planning to ABANDON this in Semi # 2 !  ::LOL::

Look for a traditional 50 over Game...

man long time we arguing dat.  deh shud play out the dam game and shove DL.  DL is crap > > > >

built up over skunt west indies dead body.  remove AB's temporary insanity in the west indies game and what does dat average become ::confused::

there is no way in hell the Saffys were going to score 11.84 per over against the Kiwi no matter who bowled.

the Kiwi are not the west indies.  they are much better now..likely the best team in the cup..at least the second best team.  top teams do not perform like skunt west indies > >

When South Africa's innings resumed after the rain, they scored 65 runs from 5 overs at a run rate of 13 rpo and that was without getting to face the additional overs from Anderson, Elliott or Williamson.

They scored 97 runs in 8 overs : 12 RPO

with an almost 2 hour rain delay between 38 and 43 : disadvantage to SET batsmen ...

Mapoui , give it up  ::LOL::

so where did you get the 5:25 next page?
let me go into this and count fuh mihself eh > >

however the Kiwi is a better team and deh buss the Saffy rarse..and would have done the same regardless.  deh wud not have made 400 if no rain..at best 350.  and the Kiwi wud have eaten dat up too

The highest successful run chase in World Cup history is 329 by Ireland against England in 2007. Only 6 teams have ever chased down a score of 300+ in the World Cup. In the history of the game, only 3 teams have ever successfully chased down a score of 350+ (South Africa chased down 435 against Australia in 2006 and India chased down 360 and 351 against Australia in 2013).
