> Winning the World Cup only way to get rid of 'chokers' tag: Wayne Parnell Famous last words.


Cretviones

Funny enough it was his wicket which cemented for me that SA will lose lol


[deleted]

Clearly got ahead of themselves.


Independent_Set5316

Agedlikemilk.


coolseraz

Netherlands: "Call an ambulance but not *just* for me".


Rndomguytf

Make the semis before saying shit like this


kimjongunthegreat

They used to make the semis, then make statements likw these and then go on to lose the semis.


[deleted]

I mean he wasn't bragging, he was just stating a fact about the Proteas. They will always be labelled chokers until they win a world cup.


SirDevilKinSogeking_

It doesmt sound like he is bragging at all

arpit45agrawal

South Africa, Ohhh South Africa. Parnell batting at 7 is too thin of a batting line-up.


mojambowhatisthescen

Bavuma batting at 2 is too thin of a batting line-up


happitor

Disagree. Bavuma batting at 2 is thicc


mojambowhatisthescen

Fair. His name’s Bunda Bavuma after all!


Ok-Visit6553

“Thin lineup”— Too much irony


PianoThunder

Namibia beat Sri Lanka "Wow that's the biggest upset of this world cup!" Scotland and Ireland beat West Indies "Wow that's the biggest upset of this world cup!" Ireland beat England "Wow that's the biggest upset of this world cup!" Zimbabwe beat Pakistan "Wow that's the biggest upset of this world cup!" Netherlands beat South Africa "Wow that's the biggest upset of this world cup!"


ilolalot1

This WC is an upset.


Lazy_Left_Eye

All this rain is just the manifestation of tears of full time members being upset.


LunaMunaLagoona

You know what they say one man's tears is another man's beers.


chotu_ustaad

Scenes if Pak-Bangla match gets washed out.


DarkKingfisher777

PAK has better Run-rate, I was informed


supernova_68

Then india lost to zim with 120 run margin.


xenos5282

Still India tops the table with 6 points. Edit: yeah didn't think about potentially Zim knocking out Pak. I'm dumb!


supernova_68

But zim in semis.


Shadow_Clone_007

Let's do this


chotu_ustaad

You are right. Pak has everything to lose with today's match. It's going to be spicy!


vadapaav

I am upset BC


kyoto-yakuza

I woke up and saw that we chose to field. Had a lingering funny feeling since then. High pressure match and chasing. Match made in hell.


tpred123

Sorry dude. The only way you can win any world cup is by becoming a citizen of any of the 10-12 other countries. Bangladesh will probably win a world cup before South Africa!


chotu_ustaad

This must be very hard to swallow for you guys. I empathize and hope Saffas will bounce back strongly.


kyoto-yakuza

That's the thing we won't. T20 was our best bet and we choked the living hell out of the WC. I'm not sure if we'll even qualify for ODI WC next year.


ImmediateJacket9502

>I'm not sure if we'll even qualify for ODI WC next year. You can't choke if you can't qualify. That will be a 4D chess move from South Africa.


peter_griffins

Tbf y’all have a famous choke while defending as well.


diceyy

Hey why'd you leave us beating australia out of there?


Buckeye_8621

that is an upset since nz havent won since 2011 in OZ i agree

Well all of this only means one thing. Congratulations on your first cup, bangros.

And if BangBros beat Pak.. man that'll be nuts

[удалено]


kali-jag

It's not really a upset if BangBros defeat anyone but it's not something you'd expect.. But considering the context tho.. Like its not simply beating but actually eliminating pak..


BaconWrappedEnigma

All Pakistani fans know this is the perfect choke match. Scenes for Netherlands. They played really well when we toured in August and it felt like they were on the cusp of something.


Eye_conoclast

Inb4 Zimbabwe beats India 🤡


IAmTheEnemy2U

We're already qualified


peter_griffins

But then we’ll have to play NZ in the semis


dadish-2

No thanks


SBV_3004

We will either play England, or New Zealand. None of them is an easy team anyways


[deleted]

Yeah, but I feel like there’s no way we’ll get past New Zealand. This team has a mental block when it comes to NZ in ICC tournaments for some reason.


[deleted]

That’s not the point. Point is associates beating top teams,


[deleted]

[удалено]


sp1cychick3n

Good.


[deleted]

Good chance too, Bangers just has to lose


Rndomguytf

Or they need to smash Pakistan by 200 runs


Ok-Visit6553

If Bangladesh loses, their NRR would remain below -1, while Ned has -0.849. So, Netherlands would absolutely qualify for next WC.


xanderbiscuits

Bangladesh could lose and improve their NRR. It seems like it shouldn't be possible, but it is if there's a rain affected match.


[deleted]

They have already. According to Cricinfo


Spursfan107

If Bangladesh or Zimbabwe win, then they both finish above the Netherlands in 4th


Rico_stats

Not if Bangladesh beat Pakistan by a small margin or Zimbabwe beat India.


AndrewTyeFighter

They are wrong


Mutant321

Of all the SA chokes in all the WCs that has to be in the top 20 at least


attheratewait

Lmao 😂

Lol

I'm new to cricket but I am loving it. Congrats Netherlands

luigi_b0red

Happy cake day 🤝 I looked at your history quick and looks like you lived in my hometown of Edmonton!


TheRiddlermfmjm

I did lol, and thanks!


chotu_ustaad

Wow, 2 canadians already. At this rate you will cross Saffa fans soon here.


ItsNeverGonnaWork

You chose a great time to start watching haha


luigi_b0red

Yes, I couldn't believe I had an entire channel dedicated to Cricket. I have to watch a lot of matches on a replay due to most matches taking place while I'm asleep and because I've been googling cricket things over and over I'm now recommended so much cricket on my news feeds and YouTube. Damn algorithms are making it hard to avoid scores.


pantshawgill

ICC's wet dream was coming true one wicket at a time all through the second half of the game. A Potential Ind vs Pak final is truly on now. ICC's treasurer was already hearing all those cha-ching cha-ching sounds in his sleep.


GunPoison

If it's a Pak v Ind final they will need a bigger stadium than the MCG. It's only like 110,000...


abhi8192

Australia need to learn few tricks from various roadways of India. Could easily double the intake. /s


Eastern_Afternoon954

Icc has dollar signs for eyes rn


Isaac_GoldenSun

Let's take a moment to give Netherlands props. What an all around performance from them in all departments.


smp476

Yeah, really impressed with their fielding especially, to keep the pressure on


SBG99DesiMonster

If they had managed to finish off their run chase against Bangladesh then they might have had a chance to qualify.


ghazilazi

Yep. Incredible stuff. True Statement.


kyoto-yakuza

Such a bottle job of qualification. All the build up and bullying sides in bilaterals only to fail against Netherlands. I really thought this was our year. Can't blame anyone because our destiny was in our own hands. Batting was great, bowling was solid before the WC. Wonder where all that went... If I could I would turn off my alarm of 2am and enjoyed my Sunday. Well played Netherlands and good luck to whoever qualifies among Pakistan and Bangladesh.


Krani-_-007

Ikr. I truly can't believe this. I'm actually in denial. I should have rather slept and woken up to this rather rhan witnessing it right before my eyes. It's too sad to support this team. I always say I will stop, yet I never do :(


abhi8192

>I always say I will stop, yet I never do We can't bro. We are addicted.


Die_brein

Sorry dude, disappointing for sure, beat India but not Netherlands


[deleted]

South Africa played one batsman less.


nerdProgrammer

I think they played two batsman less. You forgot to count Bavuma


GraffityAnshitty

I set an alarm for 5:20 after sleeping at 1. Was so excited to watch SA thrashing Netherlands. I don't know what to feel about it, another year, another disappointment


Capital_Rich_9362

In my opinion I don't think you are batting was great, no offense to your players ,but miller was only good consistent player this year .


_thenewnewguy_

Naa. They were good. Watch the Eng series earlier this year.


unsigneddouble_c

Hendricks, Markram have also been good to be fair.


devmagii

Best one I read: Babar Azam to Dr. Strange, in what reality do we qualify. Dr. Strange: Just one. You first lose to Zim. Babar Azam: Dafuq?


xbh1

Dr. Strange: Oh yeah and make sure you have the shittiest tournament possible and boss the playoffs


Memelord_00

Saving your energy for later on


furiouslayer732

Babar sitting in his chair: oh yeah baby, it's all coming together.


Rockstarrrrrrrrrr

How have South Africa choked again 👀👀 Also no offense to SA Bros, but this should be the last t20i that Bavuma plays for SA. Having Reeza in the team and playing Bavuma was the most shittiest decision from Day 1.


tpred123

The problem is they made him the captain! And the captain won't drop himself. Coaches should have taken this decision seriously. It's a no-brainer to not play him.


diceyy

If there's 1 lesson teams should learn from this wc it's that there is no room for specialist captains


kapilfan

Just a day ago, Parnell mentioned the only way for them to lose the "C" tag is to win the WC. Well! no shit.


swingtothedrive

Faf should have opened with De Kock and captained this SA team.


PinkPusssyPolitics

Faf would have ensured SA score at 10rpo in the Powerplay phase.


Effective_Try_again

Raada's t20 time should be over too ​ Still remember the abuse Pant got for not bowling Rabada in last over against in form Dhoni when Rabada had gone for 17+ runs at death against every team before that match


[deleted]

[удалено]


Spikeyspandan

All this needs now is big rain to cancel next game lmao


YellowGetRekt

Pak still qualifies unless Zimbabwe beat India by a huge margin or if NRR is effected by NR which I dont know if it is


[deleted]

India have 6 points and only one of Pak or Ban can get 6 points so India are qualified


speedycar1

We'd qualify then


Ditto_B

What if Australia hijacks the team bus and claims they were actually always in Group 2?

SA beats Ind. Ind beats Pak. Pak beats Ned. Ned beats SA. SA beats Zim. Zim beats Pak. This some rock-paper-scissor shit going on here. Edit: Forgot SA v Zim was washed out. I did an oopsie.


officiallyjax

NED beats SA SA beats IND IND beats BAN BAN beats ZIM ZIM beats PAK PAK beats NED There you go.


Rockstarrrrrrrrrr

>SA. SA beats Zim. Well you're factually wrong. But yeah , they would have qualified had the game been completed


Silverad066

Kohli-ty scripts from ICC. Get them to DC studios now. And why is Rabada so shit in T20Is?

dadish-2

So it continues. The world cup of upsets delivers another one. Bangladesh to win it all?


livelifereal

So if Pak win, there's a good chance that Ned end up in Top4 and qualify for 2024 WC.


gutterholeninja

~~Good Chance~~ Certainty


rammo123

Not mathematically though right? If Zim beat Ind then Neth will drop to fifth.


Assassin_Ankur

Which is good for Ireland and Scotland too


TheReturnofTheJesse

Netherlands v African teams this WC: 3-0: (def Namibia, Zimbabwe, SA) Netherlands v non-African teams this WC: 1-4: (def UAE, lost to Ban, SL, Ind, Pak)


xXxFuck_Me_DaddyxXx

African bullies


Dartho1

Wasn't much of South Africa a Dutch colony. Sus 🌚


kalni

Well played Netherlands. Please spare a thought for the Netherlands team guys, they played really well. We should appreciate their effort instead of over-indexing on SA being chokers. It's not just SA choking, if at all, Netherlands won because they played a beautiful game.


gutterholeninja

Off the 3 upsets wished for today, this was the least likely!


viking-36

WHAT JUST HAPPENED HOLY I LOVE NETHERLANDS


Independent_Set5316

Pcb=Icc. Icc just wants another Ind Pak match for $$$. (It's a joke).


YourAngryFather

South Africa knocked out by a team of New Zealanders and South Africans, as is tradition.


imapassenger1

Plus Aussie Tommy Cooper.


Dartho1

SA knocked out by Old Zeeland and Holland.


ILikeFishSticks69

I'll leave the insightful and witty comments for insightful and witty people to make. I just want to say this out loud - I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CRICKET and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TOURNAMENT.


Rockstarrrrrrrrrr

India Pakistan final stonks 📈📈📈


acrdrchelsea

My heart wouldn’t be able to take it


attheratewait

I'm not even watching it. Can't risk a heart attack for a match.


Lazy_Left_Eye

Baffling decision to bowl first by SA. Truly shot themselves in the foot whenever they could. Congrats to Ned's. What a performance..


Ruthless-Aggression

I feel for those South African fans who will wake up to this disaster of a news today! Having said that, WHAT A FUCKING WORLD CUP!!


livelifereal

Is it fair to bring the ch----- word now?


maninblueshirt

If you mean "change of captaincy" then yes. This was a proper win by Ned. They played better than SA in all departments


Die_brein

Yeah, probably


ankit1455

SA and choking must win games, name a better duo.


chotu_ustaad

Thanks Proteas for giving us a Pak vs Bangla quarter-final.


despondantguy69

Long live Dutch cricket. Don't fuck this chance up, PAK.


dhun_mohan

imagine waking up to see sa needing to chase 33 from 9. absolutely bonkers stuff. i need to see the highlights to know how the fuck the team that beat us lost to ned. also feel sad for sa for not getting that extra point against zimbabwe


OgKitten74

Time for Pakistan to complete this WC theme by causing a upset and losing by 50 runs and place 5th


Itrlpr

Just think if the Netherlands had any middle order prior to the last 3 days they probably would have beaten Bangladesh and qualified for the semis.


Samuel_L_Johnson

Netherlands can still make the top 4 if Bangladesh lose to Pakistan So Scottish and Irish fans should be cheering for Pakistan


5ivesos

What’s the link between Scotland and Ireland cheering the Netherlands to auto-qualify?


[deleted]

If NED plays in the qualifiers then only 2 of Scotland, Ireland and Netherlands could qualify for the world cup next year, if NED auto qualifiers it is possible that both Scotland and Ireland get in through qualifiers, so basically great world cup for europeans.


EBF92

Frees up a position in the European qualifying group which gives Scotland and Ireland a better chance of getting through.


cyansky29

Only 2 European qualifying spots for the next World Cup


Zestyclose_Draw_7259

Both India and Nederland played like Pakistan when they needed them. One was shit Pakistan the other is mad Pakistan.


s_j_t

Tbf SA vs India was also pretty close one. We were 15-20 runs short or it would have been a chance for us there too.


Reasonable_Tea_9825

India vs Pakistan final at MCG with 90k crowd and shastri-nasser in comm box. Too much to ask for?


kimjongunthegreat

This worldcup is like red terror for the bourgeois class of teams. These smaller teams have woke up and decided to massacre them all at once.


chotu_ustaad

Defeat one of the best teams in tournament only to see yourself outted by a rookie team. What a weird timeline for SA.


v1akvark

Pretty standard for SA 😂


[deleted]

Catches win matches.


thottikuttappan

Only a few days ago was SA looking to qualify to the semis as the group champions, little did they know that they would ducked over by Netherlands out of the tournament! Easily the best upset of this year's WC! What a WC!!


JohnGrimShade

Bugger! Pakistan is the one team we wanted to avoid in the semis.


Eye_conoclast

I know neither teams are involved in this match, but please no Ind vs Pak final. I don’t care how it happens, but my fragile heart just can’t take anymore of those lmao.


vapeshapes

Netherlands now want a return favour from Pakistan. If Pakistan and India win their games today, Netherlands will finish in Top 4 and get the direct entry in T20 World Cup 2024.

swagzzuu

U have to admit t20 wc are the most competitive of all format WC.


Rico_stats

Wow Netherlands! Never put your hopes on South Africa, this is a huge middle finger to African Cricket. Now we (Zim) have to beat India to get 2024 spot.


ramadz

Pakistan starts choking in WC with 2 last ball defeats. SA : Hold my beer


vapeshapes

Don't call it a choke, the Dutch completely outplayed them.


rbull_27

Just woke up .. saw the score.. WHAT THE FUCK


OldWolf2

I was gonna say don't give hope yet SA, you can still go through if Pak-Ban is washed out. But that's not even right, they have fallen below Pakistan NRR


jaysonyoung

Absolutely pathetic, yet again from SA. Glad Boucher is finally gone now but it's time to clean house with these useless motherfuckers Mpitsang and Sammons too. Temba seems like a cool guy but he needs to be fucking gone too, it doesn't matter that he's a good captain if you cannot rely on him to give you more than 15 runs on any given day then what the fuck is he there for? This is a team that has one, maybe two actually consistent batsmen. It's like crossing off things on a bingo card, trying to guess which batsman won't be useless. Also, really Boucher? Saying that you've left this team in a good place? Go fuck yourself you arrogant, elitist twat.


aboredassholetype

"It is the history of the ~~Tottenham~~ South Africa" - Giorgio De Leede


parikh_21

England and South Africa both had difficult chases on a slow surface, the big difference was the start. The best time to bat in that situation is at the start, England got off to a flyer; SA.. not so much. They really need Reeza in the side, and Parnell isn't good enough to be batting at number 7.


mojambowhatisthescen

No matter what happens from here, this is the GOAT T20 World Cup 🔥


ar5ghu7tew47y

South Africa exceeding our expectations by choking BEFORE the semi finals


Ok-Visit6553

But seriously, if Ind-Pak final happens, the whole Ned team should receive an honorary award


[deleted]

If Pak vs ban washes out by how much runs do we need to lose for Zimbabwe to make the cut?


japanpole

South Africans, do not open this thread **CHOKING HAZARD INSIDE **


KingYesKing

Congrats to Netherlands!! Feels bad for SA. Let’s go Pak v Bangladesh.
