We made 227 against India - they only got up in 48th over
Chasing 330 odd against Bangladesh, we managed 309 - would not have been close to that if amla made his usual 50 off 75 balls
Some scores from ball faced in this world cup:
Roy (54.53)Root (51.59)Gayle (54.33)Finch (66.49)Guptill(73.51)Munro(58.47)Imam(44.58)Azam (63.66)
Perera (78.81)
Why play amla at all? - if he makes 40 or more- -lose - not enough runs, and a big liability fielding
pitch was not flat slow and spongy a batter could never get in not even kane williamson ever looked in we bowled terribly to colin he did not hit 1 boundary on the off side bowled halfway down the wicket on a slow pitch he tried to hit 1 6 over mid off and was caught.. we had enough runs on the board imo on that pitch not 1 slower ball was hit for a 6 ... small things didnt go our way and that happens in life and cricket when you down you down just like the horses some days you cant catch 1 winner in 8 9 races.... we havnt played well in this tournament but you cant blame Amla.. Makrams Rabada du plessis miller have all done nothing.. our best player at this world cup is Andile then Quinton.. but south africa played there best cricket of the tournament yesterday and they are not chokers they are just beeing out played by better one day cricketing teams and better players who do the basics better than we do and have more match winners than we do
