The Saffas had a day out. They hit the highest ever World Cup total.

At one point in reply, Sri Lanka were 1/54 off 6 overs. Kusal Mendis was 51 not out. No other batsman had scored a run at that point

[BenDoolan]

FMD… we have them 3 for 2 and they end up coasting to victory. WTAF!

And Marnus Labuschagne needs to put an end to his pathetic reviews. It’s worse than Shane Watson at his WORST. You’re not going to get away with thick edges to the keeper ya clown

Fkng hopeless. The way we’re going, Netherlands will give us a touch up.

There have been heaps of hundreds scores so far in this tournament, and not one of our batsmen have passed 50 yet.

Pa. Thet. Ic.

And they can whinge and moan at the DRS all they want.

Still doesn’t distract us from the simple FACT their performance so far,has been Absolutely Abysmal!

Good to see the Afghanis smack the Poms!

But they’ll probably give us a belting as well

Shit, we won

[grassy1]

Yep.

Did well after Sri Lanka’s trailblazing start threatened to put us out right there.

Zampa made things happen and all credit to him and the opposition collapsed.

When Warner’s luck went out,you thought it could get ugly again.But good knocks from Marsh,Inglis and Marnus steadied the ship for the 1st Win of the Tournament,keeping the boys still in it.
