Sidhoni Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 they went form 80/8 to 175 so its still a big recovery. Might be a recovery but the final score of 175 is by no means a match winning score.
Sachin=GOD Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Might be a recovery but the final score of 175 is by no means a match winning score. there's a difference between making a low score and a choke.
Sidhoni Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 there's a difference between making a low score and a choke. In this case, "choke" = Failing on big occasions That is what SA top and middle order did. The lower order took them to a respectable total otherwise they would have struggled to get to 100.

The lower order took them to a respectable total otherwise they would have struggled to get to 100. SA were in a nothing to lose scenario at 80 for 8. Hence some big hitting. But overall they played exactly how a tournament favorites should not play in a crucial match. Even though they miss few bowlers, it is their batting that let them down. They just miss Smith and Kallis. Australia has shown how a tournament favorites should play in crucial matches. Be it is Gilly tearing apart Srilankan without even giving a breather in 2007 world cup final or Punter massacring our sorry attack in 2003 world cup final.
