Hi,

It is said that History repeats itself . South Africa keeps on proving this statement again and again. This is the umpteenth number of time it has been knocked out of a major tournament. All credit to the English for posting a daunting 323 .Their middle order batted like never before in the recent past.Shah was a grafter in the previous game against Lanka but today was a bully.His 89 ball 98 set up the victory for England. He was ably supported by Colingwood and Morgan.
SA did not look to be in a hurry at all in their chase. Their plan was to keep wickets in hand and flourish late in the innings as they bat deep .They scored at 5.5 throughout the match and when the time came to increase the momentum , they started loosing wickets. It was really sad to see Smith fight till the end but still ended loosing. SA are out of the tournament and Kiwis are hanging in there.They need to defeat England to enter the Semis. Their batting seemed to click today as they posted 315 against Lanka. The stronger teams of the group are virtually out of the tournament. That is the beauty of this game. It always has a surprise for you.

India is in a do or die situation tomorrow against the Aussies. I hope they can get their act tomorrow or they have to pack their bags and leave. Good luck to them.
