Flatzem Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I did like Australia for this as all of you did, but the stress would have been unbelievable. Where's the stress free stuff. what 1.05 or 1.10 type...but then hardly anything to make from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiekie247 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Crazy, people still partying man and they still going. Our president is considering declaring a public holiday if we won. So I guess people are anciently waiting. Facts about why the win was so important - It was a back to back world cup win - We are the only rugby team to win four world cups now. Because both NZ and South Africa won 3 world cups prior to yesterday - All our world cups has been won on foreign soil except for the 1995 world cup. - We are the first team to never lose in a Rugby Final - We played the final against the 2nd best rugby team in the world. - We had to okay through the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th best rugby teams in the world to get to the final and win the cup For that I am proudly South African.

If we win, it's like okay, but Rugby is on another level. You see Rugby bring the nation together and based on history apartheid and together with South African all blacks supporters has that level of impact hence Rugby is the biggest sport in South Africa.

Blackjax Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 @Fiekie247 we guys are playing against each other on Sunday. SA are an unstoppable force when they bat first. India has a great bowling attack, especially when we bowl second. Two really strong and equal teams playing against each other and probably the final will also be played by these two. Best of luck for the game, its going to be a cracker. Fiekie247 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjax Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 Match Day- India has won the toss and they are batting first. SA has been unbeatable batting first but they bat second today. India has won their 7 out of 7 matches and SA has won 6 out of 7 matches. Lets go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjax Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 326/5 scored by India. SA beed 327 to win. India have scored more than 70 par. Its going to be tough for SA to chase but if there is anyone who can chase it, its SA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjax Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 Yikes! It ended up being extremely one sided. SA completely surrendered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiekie247 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 @Blackjax Congratulations man. India played great. We are disappointed in SA, just because they already qualified for the Semi Finals, they honestly did not care and just played like ****. Great batting by India though. Sorry responding now only. I flew to another city. Did another Half Marathon, so been busy with that the last two days. Extremely tired. Blackjax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pitch was good for people who bat first as batting second was going to be impossible on this track. If SA would have batted first I would have been congratulating you. See you in the World cup Finals. Congrats on your marathon run. Nice to hear you took part in it. I would need to sleep for atleast 2 days after running that much. Hopefully your body is used to it. Take rest and recharge your batteries. Fiekie247 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading your post a few years ago where you mentioned about health being your priority and you posted your daily running target. Competing in these events shows how disciplined you have been since that time. Fiekie247 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjax Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 Australia vs Afghanistan happening right now. Afghanistan might defeat Australia the way things are proceeding. This is going to be insane. If they do end up winning then they have a good chance of knocking out Pakistan, New Zealand with this blow, Australia are almost through as they have strong NRR.

Out of the five teams I picked for the semi final spot 4 of them made it. We are now moving to the business end of the tournament with India playing New Zealand in the first semi final and South Africa taking on Australia in the second.

Blackjax Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Odds are highly favouring India in the first semi final but New Zealand might pull off a win. In the second semi final if SA bat first then they might win the match otherwise I see the Aussies winning. If SA and NZ win their respective matches then we will have a first time WC winner. cocopop3011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
