Are South Africans UNLUCKY or UNTALENTED in world cups?
I told you so! I told you even before the South African team is way far overrated! And most of people disagreed. Many said that they were just unlucky in world cups. But were they really? Really folks?, really? really? Let's take every single world cup they played one by one
●1992 - Ok before the rain SA needed 22 to win from 13 balls. But after the rain, according to the rain effected match formula which was used those days, SA target has become 22 off one ball. And this may be the only occasion where u can call they were bit unlucky. But mind you one thing. Lets imagine that there was no rain. So then 22 off 13 balls means still a stiff and tough task! So yet England could have been the winner!
● 1996 - Haha here we cut to the real chase! Who can say south Africans were unlucky here at least a little bit? South Africa won all 5 robin round games and were totally out played by west indies (they lost even to kenya in the first round) in the quarter final. In other words SA were unable to win the real test, the must win game. So they failed big time! So was that unlucky? That was not unlucky at all! Wasn't it folks?
? 1999-Now lets go to the real controversial world cup. South Africa tied with Australia in the semi final. But Australia went through to the finals bcz they defeated SA in Super 6 stage. Talkng more of the semifinal it was poor communication while running between the wickets, made the run out of Alan Donald who was batting with Lance Klusner. I'd say yes run out is an unfortunate way to get out but nevertheless it's batsmen's fault. In other words "weakness". So SA couldn't win there bcz of their weakness of communicating and running between the wickets. That's not quite bcz of their unluckiness. Right?
● 2003- Some people says on this occasion SA had to go home from the first round bcz they read the D/L system formula wrong in the must win game with Sri lankans. After getting up to 229 for 6 in 45 overs they thought that they were ahead of Sri Lanks. But to be ahead of Sri lanka they should have been at 230 for 6 in 45 overs.
So once again lack of knowledge about the D/L system was what made them going down and out! In other words a weakness. You know that in cricket not only the way you bat bowl and field but also the way you use your head is also gets in to play. So how come we say a student who failed the exam was unlucky if he didn't do his lessons correctly. No way!
And also one more point... Did the south Africans deserve to be in the super 6's in that world cup? They lost to west indies and Newzealand too before Sri lanka match. I mean on their home soil! They only defeated Canada , kenya and Bangladesh. So keep the D/L thing aside. Yet they are not deserved to be in super 6's. Bcz at their home SA failed to defeat 2nd rated teams like NZ and west Indies on that world cup!
So not unlucky really, Just untalented I'd say.
● 2007 Aha now here is another pure example of the point I am trying to prove. Where the hell did the South Africans became unlucky here? They lost to Australia in the first round by 88 runs. Then they lost to Bangladesh too in the Super 8 stage. And then finally were purely knocked out by Aussies once again in the semi final. South Africans were bowled out for some thing like 150 there! So there was no chance at hell you can say it was unfortunate. It was simply bcz they were not quite talented to be the world champions, or bcz they were not quite talented to win a single knock out match in world cups.
●2011 So moving on to this world cup Once again SA failed to win a knock out match in a world cup. they were done by Kiwis comfortably. Kiwis haven't been playing well (lost to Sri Lanka and Australia easily) but yet they thumped South Africans.
So is that unlucky? really folks? really? i mean really? No, not at all.
So here is a quick sum up. Ok i get it. In 1992 and 1999 they were bit unlucky. But all the other four world cups they failed to win a single knock out match not bcz they were unlucky but purely bcz they were not quite good enough! i mean it's obvious..Yeah it's crystal clear!
So Look,I know that there are many Indians who said that SA was gonna play the world cup final with India. But i told you so it won't be. So here i have backed up my words.
So so that's the truth, the whole truth, so wassup guys? any objections?
No i have my points proving that they are just not good enough, not unlucky. They have never won a single knock out game in a world cup!
Once again i am saying if they couldn't win a single must win game in world cups it simply says the entire story. No they were not unlucky.
I rather want you to stick to my points and talk with some proof other than just keep on saying the South Africans were unlucky. Look i am talking with proof.
Great answer from Howzzat. But look friend. i totally agree with you, no objections about the talent of South Africans. But to go through must win games in world cups you need some thing special, i mean than your normal attributes! So south Africans haven't got that ability. They have failed to go through the knock out stages.
Date : 2011-03-29 00:59:46PREDICT TEAM India's HERO IN SEMI FINALS WIN AGAINST AUSTRALIA ON SEPTEMBER 22,2007 .?
Dhoni's Team India trounced, first England, thanks to Yuvaraj"s record 6 sixers and fastest 50 in cricketing history in any form of the game. Then they demolished and trounced the home team, South Africa, thanks to the efforts of RP singh with the ball and Rohit Sharma with bat and entered the semi finals with flying colours to meet Australia.
With Australia , downed by Zimbabwe in early stages, and now missing their dashing captain Ricky Ponting with injury will find it very difficult to face the bubbling Indian team, provided Team India keeps its cool and composure. So who shall be Team India's hero in the semi finals victory on Saturday ?
