Anyway my prediction for the semi is if Australia bat first, they win. If Australia bat second and have a total about as big as the one they chased tonight to get, they get spun out by Ashwin and Jadeja for about 180.

It probably can be simplified to if India finally manage to get Smith out cheaply, India will win.

0.3

Taylor to Guptill, no run, Samuels has dropped it. A poor start in the field by West Indies. First that non-chase and now this. This is a leg-stump half-volley. Looks like a four, but Guptill; has hit this straight and low - calf high - to Samuels at sqaure leg. He looks stunned this chance has come his way. Not awake and alert for it. Drops it

Pretty cool team run chase aside from that run out.

It always astounds me how South Africa always fall apart juast as soon as you think they're home.

Dunno if you can say SA fell apart or choked this time. They got done in by a better side who also made a bunch of mistakes.

When you get to a semi-final and find such comical ways to gently caress up, then the reality is you won't escape the chokers tag. People gently caress up all the time and do dumb poo poo in sport, but what happens at the pointy end is what gets remembered. The vision of the outfield collision, or AB literally on his back clawing at the stumps with Anderson half way down the pitch is going to get used a lot.

As it should.

Wether or not SA choked, this game just adds to the amazing list of ways they have tragically failed in the World Cup.
