South Africa were dead and buried an hour or so ago. They couldn’t. Could they?

Bavuma is as clueless as Root when he was skipper.

The first 10 overs were costly. He didn’t change it when they were being smashed around. They got away from us at the start.They have just been singing his praises on Sky
Been better since spin came into play and we got some control

Great game to watch
The commentators have really hammed up how close this is, in my view. Australia could have accelerated away if they’d needed too.

And got out like Maxwell trying to accelerate? It has been good bowling in the 2nd part of the innings
It’s been good but Australia went ultra defensive because they could. Of course anything can happen, but I don’t really think SA were as close to pulling off a victory there as the commentators suggested.

I didn't hear anyone suggest that SA were close to pulling off a victory but, after Coetzee bowled Inglis and he and Markram were looking threatening, it definitely looked like there was a glimmer of hope for them.

"Six months" of group games, then two knock-out semis? 
. If you're going long, then would have thought at least quarters and semis?

Exactly this. Surely anyone who is not a die hard fan lost interest weeks ago.
