[Fangs]

Lets wrap it up tonight.

Lets wrap it up tonight.

Nah would rather a decider at Joberg in game 5.

Lets have 400 plays 400 again like in 2006 now that was a fun match.




If you were a South African

 

[TheParraboy]

Lets bully and go undefeated but drop our pants at the WC

If you were a South African

Amazing (or is it?) Mick Lewis unwanted bowling record from that match has stood the test of these times of flat decks

Though Wahib Riaz from Pakistan v poms went close with 0/110

 

[Fangs]

2006 Johannesburg a great match but also a great series. We came back from 2-0 to get to that decider.

Punter and Gibbs made two special centuries that day. But I remember turning it off after seeing our innings. Couldn't believe the scorecard in the morning.

I guess some records are unbreakable. Thanks to Punter's stubbornness - Lewis should never have got 10 years.

Tim Paine must have given Andrew Tye the mercy rule in that match a few years back against the poms they got nearly got 500 in an ODI.

Tye bowled 9 overs for 100. Another over he probably would have broken Lewis broken.

Yeah i didnt know we lost until someone told me at school that monday morning south africa won.

Didn't have a phone back in 2006 to check the score in the morning

I thought he was taking the piss after going to bed after the Aussie innings that the saffers had won.

I was gonna say, there must be quite a few on their way, but hooked well before their 10th over

 

[King-Gutho94]

Gibbs was hungover during the epic 434-run chase

In his autobiography, Gibbs revealed that he had been drinking till 1 am with a friend and had a massive hangover by the time he came out to bat.

A shame Herschelle wasn't hungover in 1999 he might have held onto that catch.

[TheParraboy]

Amazing catch there by Abbott

Then we tried to win the game in 30 overs

Davey top scorer 78 from 56 balls

 

[Eelectrica]

Setting up the WC ambush nicely. Lost the battle to win the war.

 

[Twizzle]

Davey's shoe is all over social media this mororning, only the big stories

Cant peak too early.

I recall before 2007 world cup we went in with a 6 match losing streak and then swept all before us in the windies.

 

[Fangs]

Just happy to see Davey in the runs. We need the top 4 firing for the WC and he has been a passenger for too long.

Haze started well but ended up getting tonked. Only pacer who conceded under 6 was Stoinis. Still got a few to come back into the team but death bowling should be a priority for us.

Just happy to see Davey in the runs.

and hopefully, tie his shoe laces next time
