This match puts into perspective how shit the Proteas really are.

If you think back Afghanistan should have beaten England and South Africa but blew it with some stupid shots. Now they are on the verge of causing a huge upset.

Chicken, hoping you will recall when the 50 over World Cup was hosted here in SA. SA lost against all the big name countries and only beat Kenya, if I recall correctly.

Whilst SA are ultra consistent between major tournaments, they need to play without fear and show the opponents no respect. That's what the opposition do to us, show us no respect which explains why we are trophy-less (if there's such a word).

We tend to hang on to the past all too often e.g. "well we've chased down in excess of 400 before, so we know it's possible" - those situations/games happen once in a lifetime and teams don't chase down 380+ every second or so game, unless you playing on the sub-continent.

Ultimately we are too structured in our thinking/approach, that must change and we'll start winning these big tournaments.

Cant play under pressure Bayern and that what separates winners and losers. All the talent in the world. Look how they smashed England in the last Test, no pressure. They will go out and hammer Sri Lanka tomorrow, no pressure.

Well done Afghanistan......

Shares in Burger king sky rocketed after todays win.....

Afghan beats West Indies in a dead rubber...................
..................unusual betting patterns I would guess!

Chicken, hope you watching the India/Australia game. There's thinking out of the box by Australia. Take the India bowlers on up front, if you come off you win, whether you lose by 1 run or 10 wickets, you still lose, but the Aussies are giving themselves a chance against the favourites, who could not see this coming. Game not over yet, but India would turn to their spinners earlier than planned.

You not talking from your pocket are you? If you are, then no sense continuing the discussion.

Marais Erasmus trying to make up for the stuff up by awarding a free hit?

I very seldom bet on cricket and the trend has continued into this match. Just think that the Indians are too strong for the Aussies. They will win no matter what the Aussies score.
