Predator_05 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Their monstrous batting lineup makes any target look easy. First they annihilated Australia in the warm-up, chased down a massive 200 in the opener vs WI with relative ease, comfortably cruised against Banglastan and then England. Now this emphatic victory vs NZ. Justin Kemp is the hardest hitter in the game and their batting lineup stretches all the way down to #10 - not that they need that depth, since their top order generally get the job done anyway. Who will stop them ? Link to comment
Yuvraj4Captaincy Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Saf are the team to beat this tournament.Unless they choke, its theirs for taking. Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 After today's performance, i shudder to think what they will do to India. Yes, India did beat them in Twenty20 last winter but this SA side looks much better. Link to comment

sandtest Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Today they proved that Choke theory is not applicable to them in 20-20 format. So I guess, minus Choke theory, they are the best positioned to win this cup. I would distribute sweets if India crushes them and shatters this myth. Link to comment

Cricketics Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 i reckon a team which is chasing can win against them defending 180-190 is not enough against saffers with this awesome batting line up of saf.. pollock, morkel brother can also hit in their line up.. and kemp can fire any time.. just like he did today.. and he has scored against INdia before... so chasing is what everyteam s hould look for if they win the toss. defending the total might just get difficult..

abhinav Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The definitely look like the team to beat..and are very very confident rightnow..SL just seem to be going off the boil now..and Pakis are on resurgence..wonder if any of the two have the wheels to run over the SAFs. If Aussies do make it past SL tomm, they obviously have a good chance..but then, without Punter playing..it could be a tough bet Link to comment
kumble_rocks Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I dispute the fact that Kemp is the hardest hitter of the ball. This guy does not look convincing at all against the short pitch stuff and can be contained if fed with deliveries which are not drivable. But , got to agree that he can be devastating if the ball is pitched up because he has booming drives/ lifts in his arsenal. Link to comment

veer Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Who can beat South Africa ? a team who fields first.. or a team who gets kemp and gibbs cheaply.. Link to comment
MundaPakistani Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 There is a strong possibility of PAK NZ and AUS SA semifinals(same as 1999). In a big game i would still back AUS to beat SA. Link to comment
