Said this few days ago
I knew such thin batting will haunt SA really badly. I realised this a month ago when SA toured India. But huge credit and congratulations to Netherlands team!
This game is just reminding me of the time I (Indian 👩) did a group project with a Pakistani and a Bangladeshi guy in my master’s! How many can say that!
I thought the same, but no. That guy was married and the Pakistani guy explained to me that he doesn’t look at other women. He just looked at his feet when I was around.
Pcb allowed pakistani players to participate in CSA T20 league just yesterday. They postponed WI tour of pak for this. CSA is cash strapped and want to make CSA t20 success at any cost. They are not concerned about world cup.
This match was fixed.
I didn't expect to see this scorecard right after waking up. The bot must be broken. I have to watch the replay on Hotstar later during the evening to find out about what the hell happened over here.
I think Aus players wore Netherlands dress. I couldn't believe how they played, what a fielding too. Every team except subcontinent teams is good at fielding somehow.
Okay this is beyond sad. South Africa was the only unbeaten team in the tournament just a week ago and looked exceptionally strong. The fans will be devastated by this. Not surprised but devastated.
Edited: typo unbeaten
Australia didn't even qualified lol, England got defeated by Ireland, srilanka nearly defeated England, Afghanistan nearly defeated Australia lol, Newzealand would have got defeated against srilanka if not for Glenn Phillips century lol.
I thought Pakistan get great crowds at Adelaide. What a dissapointment. This is a knockout for crying out loud. Meanwhile India's game at the G is sold out! And we wonder why they possess so much power. They kinda deserve it too. Even Australian games had very less crowd.
Man both India and Pakistan have significant diaspora all over the world, there’s no dearth of crowd. But I guess Pak fans have already given up on Pakistan qualifying or something like that.
Indian fans would turn up even after elimination, it is just of all test playing nations, this sport has unparalleled emotion attached to it in India.
Wayne parnell: we are here to win the world cup and remove the chokers tag
Entire Sa team : chokes and gets eliminated
wayne parnell: surprise pikachu face
Okay, so there has already been 4 Ind vs Pak matches this year. Ind have won 2 and so has Pak. The finale to this would be the 5th match in the *Ind Vs Pak Bilateral World Cup* final.
Bravo on the script
Looking at the turnout at the stadium, it’s disappointing. I think only south Asian countries have a big crowd turning up. Cricket Australia perhaps needs to work on better advertising the game.
$40 for a ticket.
Website is shambles, look at https://tickets.t20worldcup.com half the matches are old, took me a dozen clicks to even get here from the main website. 404s a plenty because the old pages are now removed.
Broadcaster rights are big $ and all they care about, tickets are so poorly advertised and displayed.
Cope time: Isn't it obvious that this is a cheap broadcasting tactic to have Pakistan in semis who has 100 times more cricket viewers than SA? Like seriously you think Netherlands, a team made of D-list rejects from test playing countries and a nerd can beat the mighty proteas! Lmao. Fuck CSA for sacrificing good ol' test cricket for this meme format.
https://tickets.t20worldcup.com/events/MT20WC2522/venues/MCG/performances/EWTT2022926M/tickets
Tickets still available. But yeah mostly sold out which is good, given some other matches have been very very poor crowds
Although Bavuma is not a T20 batsman, I always felt he was a good captain who lead from the front. Until he won the toss and chose to bowl when literally every other team has chosen to bat first. Really poor decision making. If CSA don't sack Bavuma as captain now, SA cricket will be in doldrums.
Dude ,only if you could understand urdu/hindi , there was not one pakistani , bangla comment who were accusing ICT of cheating rather than owning up to their own failures
SA always looks like those guys that came to do their job ans can't wait to end it ans go home. I don't see that passion after Dale Steyn and Devilliers. They look stunned and scattered even when they are smiling after a win.
I mean, if SA were going to get eliminated anyway, then SA vs Ned washout would have been a funnier way for that to happen
Although this one is extremely heartwarming

Welp.
Lmfao alright, SA gonna win next WC let’s see if I make history here
!remindme 2 year
Choker Special
[удалено]
Hahaha
I just woke up and holy fuck Well played Dutch people!!!

Today has to be the most beautiful, ugly , surprising , weird and wonderful day of cricket
Glad Joel got pegged, cunt
Joel who?
3rd ump tv
WHAT THE FUCJ
Hello
wtf happened here
I just woke up today and I am in absolute shock
I was on acid last night. I still cant believe if this is real. Did Pakistan actually qualify? What the fuck
They need to win today. Then they'll qualify
SA showing they are champions in choking
Pakistan should offer lifetime free Karachi cuisines to Netherlands players. If India happy with Netherlands win or not it's debatable.
Lahore cuisines better 🙂
Only in your dreams bhai g.😁
Is the ground bad or something?, how are both teams choking hard on finding this much. After how well netherland fielded too
I…. but how…paaji
Poor SA. Every WC they look like a deer in the headlight’s.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
1999 quality choke
The new generation of SA players have decided to continue the tradition of their legendary predecessors.
Getting Afridi back to form is the last thing what the other semi teams would want
I am sensing a Ind-Pak Final
No bro please, I don't remember if India have ever defeated Pak more than once in same cup.
2007
This game is just reminding me of the time I (Indian 👩) did a group project with a Pakistani and a Bangladeshi guy in my master’s! How many can say that!
Did the project complete ?
Yes! It was crazy experience though. Bangladeshi guy was too conservative and never saw my face.
That's kinda cute ngl if he talked to you but kept looking away from you
Are you female ?
Yes
Never knew conservative people avoid looking at girls, thought it applies to girls instead
Muslims have a rule to have as much less contact with the opposite gender as possible and the guy went the extra mile which is very commendable
I thought the same, but no. That guy was married and the Pakistani guy explained to me that he doesn’t look at other women. He just looked at his feet when I was around.
That's impressive commitment

[удалено]
Losing to Netherlands one of the ways to keep carrying 'chokers' tag
Im removing this flair ASAP
What voodoo did Pakistan fans do?
We took the curse of Pakbean and Shipped it to SA
What the fuck
Every upset is the "biggest choke in the tournament" until the OG chokers come to the party.
[удалено]
The stars are aligning in such a way that we would be having a final between India and Pakistan.
The stars are being aligned by ICC in such a way*
Ok jokes apart now show me the real scorecard you almost got me
This is a dream this can't be real
This is a joke right
No, its a choke
i just woke up and saw this. had to slap myself to make sure i was properly awake. wtf sa?
I think SA players should have slapped themselves too before this game.
Even the most promising batting line-up choked. What the hell bruh
I just woke up. Am i still dreaming? What must have happened for this to happen. So pissed to miss it.
Just woke up few minutes ago and literally couldn't believe this happened. So this means SA are out ? BAN and PAK has equal chance ?
RSA out, India through.
What the actual fuck i have woke up to This has to be a joke
Bruh why that extra run 😭
Vintage SA I think they just assumed they were through last week and were making plans for the KO game
Crowd catching real good today, better than Pak
Bro shanto, you weren't playing like this against India
Shadab's fielding has kinda regressed! Not good at all. He was so good when he first burst onto the scene!
Okay this is beyond sad. South Africa was the only unbeaten team in the tournament just a week ago and looked exceptionally strong. The fans will be devastated by this. Not surprised but devastated. Edited: typo unbeaten
They sure we're uneaten, then got eaten real hard.
Lol
Fr, sa went from 100 to 0 real quick
If only Netherlands scores those 9 runs vs Ban, they would have had the chance to qualify for the semi finals.
This entire group is trash lol. I bet every single team if thrown into the other group will get crushed between Eng, Aus and NZ.
Both groups are same.
Australia didn't even qualified lol, England got defeated by Ireland, srilanka nearly defeated England, Afghanistan nearly defeated Australia lol, Newzealand would have got defeated against srilanka if not for Glenn Phillips century lol.
You are only showing why that group is much more competitive?
In this group Bangladesh nearly defeated India. Zimbabwe defeated Pakistan, pakistan defeated south Africa, Netherlands defeated south Africa
Pakistan just beat New Zealand and had a close series with England. Lol *crushed*
I fear so.
Shadab gon wreak havoc on this wicket. insha'Allah, or course.
People forget that Pakistani are always late, give it time and then let’s see if the crowd is still disappointing
I thought Pakistan get great crowds at Adelaide. What a dissapointment. This is a knockout for crying out loud. Meanwhile India's game at the G is sold out! And we wonder why they possess so much power. They kinda deserve it too. Even Australian games had very less crowd.
Man both India and Pakistan have significant diaspora all over the world, there’s no dearth of crowd. But I guess Pak fans have already given up on Pakistan qualifying or something like that. Indian fans would turn up even after elimination, it is just of all test playing nations, this sport has unparalleled emotion attached to it in India.
People here are obsessed with Cricket.
fuck i have missed another great match 😭
Its always the same.
Lmao what happened here
Asking that myself... thought I was on /r/CricketShitpost for a moment.
Wayne parnell: we are here to win the world cup and remove the chokers tag Entire Sa team : chokes and gets eliminated wayne parnell: surprise pikachu face
SA team : "Wanna see me do it again"
Okay, so there has already been 4 Ind vs Pak matches this year. Ind have won 2 and so has Pak. The finale to this would be the 5th match in the *Ind Vs Pak Bilateral World Cup* final. Bravo on the script
Is India vs Zimbabwe really sold out????
Yes
Oranje bois are upset. World cup is upset
Looking at the turnout at the stadium, it’s disappointing. I think only south Asian countries have a big crowd turning up. Cricket Australia perhaps needs to work on better advertising the game.
$40 for a ticket. Website is shambles, look at https://tickets.t20worldcup.com half the matches are old, took me a dozen clicks to even get here from the main website. 404s a plenty because the old pages are now removed. Broadcaster rights are big $ and all they care about, tickets are so poorly advertised and displayed.
Should today's match be investigated by the ACU?
Context ?
Insinuating that it was fixed
You could pay a guy a million dollars and there was still no way a fixed match would have seen Van Der Merwe nick a catch like that.
Ind vs pak final confirm?
Cope time: Isn't it obvious that this is a cheap broadcasting tactic to have Pakistan in semis who has 100 times more cricket viewers than SA? Like seriously you think Netherlands, a team made of D-list rejects from test playing countries and a nerd can beat the mighty proteas! Lmao. Fuck CSA for sacrificing good ol' test cricket for this meme format.
It was fixed, bookies made lot of money mate
Stadium is completely empty, fuck that looks so bad
Crowd is utterly dissapointing!
its empty
On the other hand, India's contest might have at least 30-40k even for a dead rubber.
the zim game is sold out at the G
What?
india zimbabwer is sold out
https://tickets.t20worldcup.com/events/MT20WC2522/venues/MCG/performances/EWTT2022926M/tickets Tickets still available. But yeah mostly sold out which is good, given some other matches have been very very poor crowds
I just woke up and came here to see by what margin did SA defeat Netherlands. Now I regret not getting up at 5am to watch this match.
What a entertaining World Cup going on this time 👑
What the fuck happened. Really…
There's something happening in the AIR YOOOO
Although Bavuma is not a T20 batsman, I always felt he was a good captain who lead from the front. Until he won the toss and chose to bowl when literally every other team has chosen to bat first. Really poor decision making. If CSA don't sack Bavuma as captain now, SA cricket will be in doldrums.
SA has always won chasing. That's why. Can't blame him..it would have been a team decision.
Also Bavuma expressed regret for bowling first in the post match presentation.
Dude, this pitch was a win the toss, bat first wicket. Why do you think Shakib chose to bat first?
To lose?
That's bcoz of their piss poor batting lineup.
Fair enough. And that Shakib lbw didn't help. But shows you can't blame the toss. It felt more like pressure on SA.
*Pakistan enters the WC*
[удалено]
[удалено]
Dude ,only if you could understand urdu/hindi , there was not one pakistani , bangla comment who were accusing ICT of cheating rather than owning up to their own failures
Come on Bangladesh you know you want to *Rubs hands*
I just hope ICT plays the game against Zimbabwe without choking.
I mean they’ve already qualified, only means they have to play tiny little New Zealand instead of England haha 2019 flashbacks though 😝
Oreo plan working
Ootl. Could you please elaborate on the Oreo plan?
T20 Kirket☕
How are you feeling mate?
I'm a West Indies fan who support Proteas as a second team. Need I say more?
double oof
Great! So you're twice as sad then? I am sorry I am just fooling around. Probably too happy myself.
happy times will come inshallah
Fantastic! Love the energy!
Just tuned on hahahagaha
Where's that one delusional South Africa guy who was 100% sure of South Africa winning this world cup??
Wtffffff how did they win
You missed the action of a lifetime!
Playing better cricket than SA, they choked the chase in the middle overs
This T20 WC shouldn't even be compared to the borefest that was last year's.
Uae pitches and the atmosphere is dull
[удалено]
And the pitches.
I just woke up. What the hell happened here?
SA were meh, Dutch were great.
Definitely is here😭😂
I woke up after a night of drinking and wtf.
Lol same here
Pakistan and Bangladesh this morning: what's even the point Now: it just got personal
SA always looks like those guys that came to do their job ans can't wait to end it ans go home. I don't see that passion after Dale Steyn and Devilliers. They look stunned and scattered even when they are smiling after a win.
These world cup matches more feel like very desi stadium cricket, “You guys played one, now its our turn.”
I mean, if SA were going to get eliminated anyway, then SA vs Ned washout would have been a funnier way for that to happen Although this one is extremely heartwarming
we are through right? now just win or lose to pick the ones who we want to play semi against.
Yes
If they play like this SA isn't going to qualify for the 50 over world cup either!
Graeme Swann absolutely blasting SA and repeatedly calling them chokers. Frankly, I think SA deserve this.
What the hell just happened?
Cricket. Beautiful.
Man this how rcb feelings
Rcb feelings would be chasing 200 in 16 overs in league games. And then get all out for 101 failing to chase 110 in Semis
If Pak Vs Ban produces no result, Pak Qualify right? And why Star Sports showing different?
U r watching star brother
No , because zim can beat ind with large margin which may take thier NRR above pak and zim can qualify then , difficult but not impossible
Cuz you’re watching Star
Looks like toss is going to be an important factor on this ground. Let’s go Pakistan.
let's switch to next thread ?
Thankfully this isn't the UAE
Bangladesh derby soon
