yea yea what happened in 2011 quarters ?

when south africa had smith, amla, faf, KALLIS, ab, duminy

nz still knocked them out

itd be silly to blame the rain, it was in nobodys advantage

u r too good to admit that baz corey and elliott played far better knock


south africa just isnt the team for big tournaments

I shoulda listened to myself and backed kiwis, got carried away because of whole "who the public is on thing"

south africa would never go past semis in their lifetime, if they somehow do, they would find ways to choke

HGN,

Appreciated your insights throughout the tournament, but there is no doubt that the rain disadvantaged SA.
7 more overs and SA likely would have scored 340-350. (AB and Faf were set, there was still 5 overs to be bowled by the "5th" bowler.

I don't think NZ could have sustained the running for another 50 or so runs.
