Dear oh dear the SA are being hammered by the Aussies....27/5 :eek:

Aussies are absolutely devastating at the moment.

Gwan aussies, skittle them out for 50

Mr Nice · 25 Apr 2007 at 15:30

35/5. The Aussies will miss McGrath when he does retire.

el_dazza · 25 Apr 2007 at 15:40

Ladbrokes just made a right howler of a market

"Kemp to score 50?" 1/3 Yes, 9/4 No. Should've been the other way around, and needless to say, it's swiftly gone now, they're gonna get stung for that

RealDeal · 25 Apr 2007 at 16:13

Gibbs gone

87-6

struggling!

Mr Nice · 25 Apr 2007 at 16:16

Shocking, I think they will be skittled for 110-120. McGrath taken 25 wickets in one WC....

RealDeal · 25 Apr 2007 at 16:45

pollock gone 103-8

aussies gna wrap this up quickly i think

Mr Nice · 25 Apr 2007 at 17:45

142-9

Bit of a fightback, but not enough.

Psycho Ned · 25 Apr 2007 at 17:50

SA 149 all out, would love to see the Aussies come out and spank these off in 20 overs like the Saffers did against us

Sri Lanka to smash Aus in the final!

You heard it here first.

Mr Nice · 25 Apr 2007 at 21:17

They won't smash them, but it will be a tight game

I think I'm hoping more there, rather then making an intelligent prediction

But seriously, even if Aus lose in the final they are still without doubt the best team in the world, by a long way! As the tournament progressed and we were getting an idea which teams are likely to make it to the semi's, I could only really see Sri Lanka beating Aus and I'm glad it's both these teams who have made it to the final. Aus surely have to slip up somewhere, and I think with the variety of bowling that Sri Lanka have, they will win. In a best out of 3 or 5 I'd back Australia everytime but I think Sri Lanka are gonna suprise them in the final. Malinga to take 5 wickets

Not at all, he just likes to call them racist to deflect from the fact that the PCB & some of their fans are possibly the most racist, bigoted & insular people in cricket. He even accused Gibbs of being racist a while ago without knowing he's actually coloured so I wouldn't worry about it

Jaap74 · 25 Apr 2007 at 22:18

"coloured" ? is that the PC term ?

and is he really ? looks mildly tanned to me :confused:

Ah, right. Won't take his posts too serious in the future

You trying to say that Gibbs can't be a racist because he is tanned/coloured? :confused:

JohnnyG · 26 Apr 2007 at 17:49

Of course not, only a fool would try to say that

This thread should explain it better.
Gibbs & Paul Harris were racially abused and Ntini was hit on the head with a flag by some Pak. supporters who were subsequently thrown out. Gibbs insulted them by calling them '"A bunch of ******* animals and ******* baboons" and also "You can all **** of to Pakistan".
There's nothing racist there & he didn't abuse any of the Pak. players as claimed.
