How England are still in the tournament beggars belief. They have certainly provided their moneys' worth though.

Hopefully Smithy and the boys can finally take SA through and finally cast off the annoying "chokers" millstone - hopefully by giving the Aussies a decent stuffing somewhere along the line.

Nah. A nice last ball or last wicket cock-up by the Saffies would be most entertaining. I think all the teams should take a leaf out of England's book and focus more on being entertaining than winning.

Of course, South Africa "choke" no more than any other team in pressure situations, but pandering to stereotypes is just SO much more fun, isn't it?

Will Smithy be wearing a nice new leather jacket if they lose to Bangles today after resting both Steyn and Morkel?

Saffies get 284 in their 50 overs. Probably a few runs less than what they would think is par, but IMHO it's quite a lot more than what Bangles can get.

All depends upon Tamim Iqbal. If he goes early, we're through to the QFs.

Almost all over, Bangladesh 36-4 (15 overs)

Yes u r right , i can judge by ur location

BTW , I think there is only one Australian Bowler that can enter his name in class bowlers in future and that is Johnson.

PS: People ask why teams in today's cricket score above 300 so easily , batsmen are more attacking they say . But In my opinion, we don't have bowlers like Imran Khan, wasim Akram, Glen McGrath, Shane Warne, Kapil Dev, Waqar Younis, Shaun Pollock today .

He bowls it to the left,
He bowls it to the right,
That Mitchell Johnson,
His bowling is shite.

The Protea's have won & England have qualified for the quarter finals.

**Sharkhunter** · March 19th, 2011, 12:28 PM

Clinical display by SA, as expected. Poor old Bangladesh, probably the most hot and cold team of the tournament.

The Aussies have been skittled for 176, let's hope that record comes to an end today.

A fine explanation of why he has taken more wickets than he should have.
