Cricket is a confidence game - in fact Life is.
How else can you explain Thilan Samaraveera, the emerging test player, playing a 'Dilscoop' off Parnell ?(the young man had a rude awakening anyways)
South Africa have to do much more than indulging in verbal boasts to keep their 'chokers' tag intact, leave alone shedding it. (Yeah, you can only keep the tag if you go to semis at least!)
If Dilshan cleaned them up in the sun, then it was the bowlers' discipline - a total of 2 wides & the first one came after two thirds of the SA innings was over!!! - that sealed the game in my opinion - leave Mendis' triple strikes, by then the SAfs were playing like zombies.
Comfortable & emphatic win.
Good start to the pool.
The points distribution is as follows:
Winning team guess: 2 points
Winning margin guess: 5 points
First Wicket: 1 point
Sixers: 1 point
Total: 9 points max.
- You get winning margin points only if you get the winning team right.
- First wicket and Sixers are independent.
- So, in a rare case, if you guess the winning team right and nobody has got the winning margin right and if somebody who got the winning team wrong, but got the first wicket and sixers right, then both you and that somebody will be declared winners as both of you have scored 2 points. Clear as mud?
On that basis Anand Re starts the account - funny he finished on a winning note on WC07 pool... luck runs even after 2.5 years :-)
