You beauty! Take a bow, Ms. De Klerk, that was absolutely marvelous! I don’t know if Nadine will ever play a better innings, but what I do know is that she, along with me and millions of others, will never forget the incredible performance she delivered.

What a game.

had us on the edge of our seats for 99 overs.


that will surely go down as one of the best escape acts in the womans game.


goes to show… technique isnt everything.

nadine plays across the line, inside out, across her pad etc… but found an effective way to score.


nice knock from the captain and from Tryon once again.

Great win for the Proteas.


No excuses I for one never thought that the Proteas would pull it off against India when they lost the first two or three wickets.


But pleased to see some of the other ladies scoring and pull the win off.


On this showing de Klerk needs to bat higher in the squad.


Well done Proteas.

Well can't knock you for having doubts about the middle to lower order batting, they have been MIA but that makes Nadine's performance even more amazing.

As I've said the girls were great against NZ, they performed like a team with a plan, their bowling and fielding was excellent and they applied pressure t'out the game. Bosch took a superb catch and Laura plucked a stunning one hander out of the air off her feet.

The Proteas are much better than what they showed against India, thought they had India on their knees but failed to finish them off, from memory they had India at 85/5 and instead of being ruthless we gave them a life.

At one time I didn't think India would bat out their 50 overs and I also didn't believe India would make a total of 200 runs.

Thought Marizanne Kapp bowled well without any luck, she could easily have taken 3 wickets.

There is hope, this team inspires but they need to make their own luck and cement their self belief.

Sorry to watch the ladies failing once more with the bat when needed to score.

Referring to Britz, Bosch and then the rest of the crew.


Great win India.

Could not back the SA team but on the bright side I did make a few Dollars on India's win.


The SA captain had an excellent WC.

Thought our attack lacked bite, for quite a while India were cruising setting themselves up for a big score.

Marizanne had her worst day of the tournament. Sad to see her go out on that note, she is much better than that but you know father time comes a calling.
