I f**king hate South Africa. The most arrogant cricket side for how little they have actually achieved (no major international one day trophy's and have managed one series win against Australia in the last umpteen years in test cricket, then promptly lost the home series). Smith is a wanker also.
Couple of years ago you WERE a south africanI used to agree but I think the current group are a bit more responsible than the old South African side. They were very good sports here in Australia i thought. I still hate them cause there South Africa but for me its now anyone but India and I think South Africa are the best chance to beat them.
It's sudden death, and the Jaapies are chokers... but hard to see how we can win... our hope is that one of McCullum, Taylor or Ryder goes ballistic... possible, about time Ryder showed the workd how good he is on a big stage - here's hoping
agree, looks like Mills is out and Tuffey is in, which could work in our favour.

Tuffey in for Mills works in our favour? How exactly?
If the Kiwis put on some early pressure either batting or bowling the Saffers are in trouble and the choke is one.

he is an unknown quantity as far as S Africa and this tournament is concerned.
Kyle Mills is unlikely to play in tonight's World Cup quarterfinal against South Africa in Dhaka after struggling to overcome his quadricep injury during training this week.
The New Zealand seamer limped from the field against Canada almost a fortnight ago and is still battling to bowl at top speed. He is expected to be replaced in the playing XI by either Daryl Tuffey or Luke Woodcock.
On the plus side, skipper Daniel Vettori, who has also been sidelined with injury, is expected to make his return at the Shere Bangla National Stadium for the must-win match.
With his knee heavily strapped, Vettori made it through a vigorous training session on Wednesday, although he conceded he might struggle in the field.
"I'm having no problems batting or bowling but fielding, my knee's still a bit sore and I suppose it's just a case, as I've said before, about getting a bit braver on it and a bit more confident," Vettori said.

The choke is on for the Saffers... Kiwis looking good
