S.Africa out to shed unwanted tag in Sri Lanka showdown

Lanka doh have no bowling...and deh batting fail.  big problem fuh dem.

the Kiwi and OZ have bowling....the Kiwi -Vettori back doing his old thing, Boult and and Soluthee...a few decent back up bowlers....solid batting.  interesting

NZ have been fluctuating between my #2 and #3 team for years now.  Recently, I've loved their quiet flamboyant approach as opposed to the boisterous AUS and the disastrous decline of ENG........ 

I really hope NZ do well but wish there was the hype of Jesse  !! ;D ;D

I know Sydney likes Spin :

but holy tailspin !  7 out of 10 wickets ??

4 Tahir and 3 JP  :-[

I was shocked this morning when I saw the score card for the match. I am still in disbelief that Sri-Lanka was all out for 133 runs in 37 overs. That pitch much have really been good for spin because the spinners accounted for 7 wickets.

wat I like is how NZ pik demselves up off the floor and reconstituted themselves. 

let me tell allyuh dat I love dat more dan food..people with tuffness, strength and smarts..always making something real out of what they have... a little or a lot.

just 2-3 years ago west indies beat the Kiwi bad bad at home. deh were down and in turmoil.  Kieron Powell made 2 tons. I will bet any money at all dat the best he can get from the Kiwi attack now, same bowlers, is 20.  dat means deh develop but not he.

the way the Kiwi operate is a sterling lesson fuh west indians..if we lookin' fuh lessons on how to get better and develop in the fuss place.  we not looking and we cyar see anyway

The Mother of all Backfires  ::LOL::

"The most disappointing thing was that we lost seven wickets to spin when South Africa have a pace-dominant attack,"

Sangakkara.

I still can't get over the disappointment of this match-up.  The rest of the quarter finals seem to be a gimme :-[

Well Dearie : Look for more.

KINOCKOUT is a totally different ball game : mostly Mental 

They haven't proved as yet,that they aren't chokers.This was a relatively easy win and SL themselves spelled their own doom.Lets see what they are up to in the SF.
I reckon it will be another one of their horrible chokes.
