South Africa vs England Highlights – Super 8s
England Bat
SA Bat
Watch cricket highlights – South Africa vs England from the Super eights in the 2009 T20 Cricket World Cup.
Scoreline: England 111 all out Owais Shah 38 (33) – Wayne Parnell 3.5-14-3, Dale Steyn 4-19-1, van der Merwe 4-32-2
SA win in 18.2 overs: Jacques Kallis 57 (49), Gibbs 30 (30) – Stuart Broad 3-14-1
Jacques Kallis fittingly helms the most boring run-chase this tournament, gets himself the Man of the Match and possibly seals his opening slot. Is there any justice in this world.
England looked ready to be embarrassed big-time while batting as the boos grew louder. Eventually, Owais Shah saved himself and his team from an ignominious batting effort with a flurry of boundaries that resulted in at least a 100 plus total. With Swann playing, Morgan was missing and any possibility of late momentum petered out. This batting effort by England only re-emphasized how important KP is to their T20 campaign (particularly against better bowling attacks).
With Smith having an extended out-of-sorts run (relative to himself) of late, and Gibbs out of sorts when not opening, the Kallis-Smith opening pair might just be the perfect method for SA to not win this World Cup. There’s only so much AB coming at No 4 can do after a while.

Thanks in advance.
Admin, you’ve been consistence in posting replays of all inernational mathces of all forms. Thank you, appreciated.
south africa won by 7 wickets
england lost the match
thanks for keeping the result a suspense.
Thanks for the highlights. Though if I may ask, why is it the case that you appear to be prejudiced against the so called “test players” like Kallis for this format of the game. I do think that Kallis is a very good player, at any rate he is the best all rounder currently playing IMO. As for the opening, I would go with Kallis and Gibbs. Smith needs a break.
thanks thats great
its awesome, no one can beat this site.
greatly appreciate your timely postings of the highlights…10 mins per inning is the perfect length IMO..thanks again..
@Rahul – It’s an old personal prejudice against Kallis alone and not “test players” built on years of watching him expertly leave the ball, do nothing for Bangalore last season, play aggressive cricket against the Aussies with an eye on the T20 World Cup, plonk himself in Ryder’s spot for Bangalore this time and so on. It happens sometimes doesn’t it – you just don’t like some guys.
greatly appreciate your timely postings of the highlights.
thanks.
@admin – yeah, totally understandable. I actually like Kallis.
england are not going to make it to the next stage now. i cant see them beating india either.
Kallis is certainly one of the best all-rounders in the world at the moment.
“”This batting effort by England only re-emphasized how important KP is to their T20 campaign (particularly against better bowling attacks).”"
shouldn’t that read:
“This batting effort [...] only re-emphasized how ineffective KP is to their T20 campaign (particularly against better bowling attacks).
@admin – your feelings for Kallis mirror mine for KP
