Despite being abused on here along with Hendricks who had a disappointing WC, Klaasen came through big time. His magnificent 50 in the final put us in a position where the prediction model had moved to 95% Proteas.
Dithering by Jansen, Maharaj and a moment of incredible bad luck that did in Miller, took away that opportunity.
But it was the most match changing innings I can recall from a Protea batsman in a WC. It’s telling how some posters in the cricket section couldn’t bring themselves to recognize this accomplishment. Small. Any respect for these posters is pretty much gone.
