Marsh was amazing. Managed to watch from about 43-130.

Cramping up like Maxwell a bit too. Great knock.

Think it will take an all mighty choke from India not to take this out. All of the semi finalists capable of scoring big with the bat but all but indias bowling attack has been spanked around the park themselves. I think the highest run total they’ve conceded is 270.

South Africa won the toss and will bat.

What a start!

[one-eyed]

South Africa 212 all out (from 49.4 overs).

Most of our bowlers did well but Zampa had a mare against David Miller who got a ton.

Starc 3/34 (10), Cummins 3/51 (9.4), Hazlewood 2/12 (, Head 2/21 (5), Maxwell 0/35 (10), Zampa 0/55 (7)

[mightytiges]

Quite a few dumb shots across the line/spin played to get out by the Aussie batsmen in the last 15 overs when we've only needed 3 runs over after the start we got.

[mightytiges]

Cummins & Starc in.

9 runs needed.
36 balls left.
3 wickets remaining.

This is old school ODI .

[mightytiges]

Quinton de Kock dropped a snick by Cummins with still 9 runs to get (the ghost of Herschelle Gibbs lives on lol).

[mightytiges]

Aussies win and into the World Cup Final  .

[one-eyed]

Eerily similar team totals to that 1999 Semi-Final.

Aussies 7/215 off 47.2 overs.

Head  62 (from 48 balls) .... named man of the match.
Warner 29
Marsh   0
Smith  30
Labuschagne 18
Maxwell  1
Inglis   28
Starc   16*
Cummins 14*

That was a great match to watch. I fell asleep around 0100 and kept dozing in and out checking on the scores.

Head was pivotal with those two wickets.

Hazelwood and starc early too.

Head also pivotal with the bat

People have had a lot to say about this Aussie team when sitting 0-2
Now in the final after 8 straight
