Great win. great choke.

What a finish! Has to be one of the best games ever!

How many times did SA choke that?? 3 by my count. 2 easy run outs missed.

[Jenko]

Awesome finish! Unlucky SA yet another dissapointing World Cup for them

Destiny has been written for South Africa, we aren't meant to ever win this damn cup...

Congrats Kiwis.

Sounds like someone just choked to death...

What a game!

Poor old Gerry...seems Steyn is simply a clubbie bowler like Anderson nowadays

Great game of cricket that! Just how an ODI should be...

Raising an interesting point from earlier, I'd say that the D/L method got that one just about as perfectly right as it ever has. When you have two reasonably closely matched teams, I think it was thoroughly vindicated!

Where's the World Cup predictions thread gone? Would be good to see if anyone's close to right so far

We all know he is a sad troll, let him cry into his beer in peace without denigrating a fine cricketer who had a bad game!

On this occasion, yes - the match situation was "right" for the equation, in that South Africa had time to adjust their innings whilst gaining credit for the good position they were in.  It does not always work that way.

Damn it, wish I'd put some money on now!  . (Not the Afghanistan bit though...)

I predict England to screw up and not make it out of the group stage, Afghanistan will qualify.

Ireland will beat the West Indies and Zimbabwe.

Quinton De Kock's South Africa will choke on a semi again (sorry, couldn't resist!)

New Zealand will qualify for the final but fall short, the nearly men of the cricket World Cup.

Australia will win.

Can't understand why South Africa persisted with Steyn. He's been (No Swearing Please) all WC should of played Abbot instead.

Great advert for cricket, but if Philander and Steyn aren't fully fit, at least one of them shouldn't have played...

[skip1973]

Great game, not sure how this one can be labelled a choke though? SA were cruising to a massive score before the rain struck, it's not as though had it in their grasp and let it slip.
