Holder finally held on to Hardik, but it was too late….pun intended. One of the great innings by Samson, flawless. The tournament is the better for having the hosts in the semis, especially given the national fervor in India.
Pleased that India made it to the semi's.
Anyone of these four teams left in the CWC would be fine with me.
I must admit that I was surprised to see the Proteas pull off that win.
If Quinton does not perform in the remaining games he has to move over and make room for someone else in the Protea Squad.
Cannot afford scores of "0" for the opening bat in 20 over cricket.
Fingers and Toes crossed.
Reflecting on that innings of Samson, what a gem. Brilliantly aggressive at first….then appropriately cautious as it became clear he was the match. And then when the final over could have been tense he dispatched any tension with a six and a four. One of the best innings under duress I have ever seen.
