One of those that will be replayed over and over again.

The commentator just referred to David Warner as one of Australia`s biggest weapons.

Can`t disagree with that in fairness.

Early days but will take some beating that catch this tournament.

Australia 5/1 chasing 201.

David Warner has just been bowled, but try and have a look at his dismissal if you didn't see it live - off his bat, then his pad and then off the back of his bat before hitting the stumps. 

A "not your day" dismissal.

What a catch.

I have just seen it, the weird thing is he never looked like he wasn't going to catch it. Both hands too, incredible judgment.

It never ceases to amaze me what human beings are capable of, it will take a huge leap in technology to get a robot to do that. :)

Was anybody watching the SA v Zimbabwe game? I was only listening on TMS and it sounded an absolute farce.

Yes , was crazy

The rain wasn’t just drizzle but fair play the Zimbabweans didn’t make a fuss and got on with it.

One of their seamers slipped badly on his follow through and badly injured his thigh .

De Kocks demolition was something else mind 

The Zimbabweans then resorted to only using spin as (understandably) they didn’t want any more bowlers injured in what is only their first game of the World Cup

Fielding and moving on the wet surface alone was a risk to injury 

What was also bizarre was that with the match almost won by SA and the rain beating down heavy , The Zimbabwe bowler turned to the Umpire with arms outstretched appearing to say ‘This is ridiculous’ 

At that point the Umpires decide to have a chat , and then take the players from the field 

 

In essence (Imho) yes it’s the World Cup and you want to try and have a result game , but it simply wasn’t fair on the Zimbabweans and , more importantly , there had been one injury and there was a constant danger of others

Thats says everything really - that’s not on , and IMHO the Umpires pushed the line too far , in terms of safety and fairness, albeit trying to get a result game

It struck me as odd that SA had already scored the runs they needed but didn`t win because five overs hadn`t been bowled. It didn`t matter if they lost all their wickets

Bizarre!

At one point late on ,after they’d gone off , and back on , in the rain ,  they were then all stood out in the pouring rain waiting for the latest recalculations before they could restart !
