No Gayle, no Bravo, a good performance from Simmons, but what else?? SA - good batting, great bowling - Parnel.... The competition is getting very interesting now. I still wish all teams the best.... And I still root for my country ... SA... May all enjoy the good tournament and good sportmanship, even among suporters.

yet another satisfying performance for south Africa as they march towards a place in the semi finals this time something that they could not do in the last t20 world championship. and once again like the last time in their way stand the Indian team. all was rosy for south Africa last time until they bumped into India so they will look to take revenge this time i guess. but they are looking good at the moment and Parnell played really well and credit to the young bowler for being on top of his game eve though he would be under pressure as a bowler. once again the west indies have failed after Gayle has not been able to provide a start for them other than Simmons no one really contributed. now they will look to Gayle again to bail them out against England or it could be the end of the world cup for them this time.

I am satisfied with SA doing so well thus far. I hope they don't walk out unto the field against India thinking of revenge. They should just take it as another game to win. If they go out for revenge, they might lose it. Lets hope they keep their bearings inline, stay humble and most of all, enjoy their game. Yes, Parnel is doing well, but lets not forget van der Merwe and Botha combination, and of course Steyn that dig up a good surprise every now and then. I am just a bit concerned with the batsmaen. They are good, but just a bit inconsistent, they need to start focusing now. Any mistake now could cost them the hope of the tournament. Thanks for responding, Blessings

yes you are right and the Indian bowlers would look to put pressure on the south African top order and look to maintain the pressure if they are successful in taking early wickets. i think that would be their best bet to win the match as we know the south African batsmen tend to crumble under pressure even though the bowling looks very good. so it is very important for the Indian bowlers to take early wickets if they have to win the match.

South Africa is sure of the Semi-finals. For remaining three, it is very difficult to get through semi-finals. WestIndies beaten INDIA but lose to SA, need to win against England. INDIA needs both the matches to be won. England needs both the other matches! Quite an interesting phase of cricket now..

You said it, quite interesting phase of cricket now.... Let us see who has got what it takes. WI and India does deserve to go through but only one can go with SA. England has not done much to show they deserve to go through, they did not perform well at all through the series. Blessings

Hi, Yesterday WI beat India and today SA beat WI and this is what I wanted. If SA had been defeated today it would have been th toughest match for both the team to go to the semis. Now If India could beat SA and England there is chance that India make its way to the semis but I am not so much hopeful with India;s chances this time.

India has not done too bad, not like England. West India is on a roll, so things can go in any direction now. My bet is on SA and either WI or India for semis. England, well they have not proven anything yet, but if they pull their socks, they might come with a surprise. Blessings
