Reporting live from Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦! What a time to be alive.
Please beat India in the final - that would be hilarious
@@jehanariyaratnam2874crazy how u r assuming india will be in the finals tells very much about the Indian team hehe
@@kartiksaxena8710 well they lost to England in 2022 so I'm thinking this time they'll have the bit between their teeth and win!
@@jehanariyaratnam2874btw, where r u from bro
@@jehanariyaratnam2874I mean England might win it and go to the finals
South Africa...6 semifinals lost..7th one win..THALA FOR A REASON😂
@@gauravkhatri4910 do you have a travel agency? Could you please share the quotation for a trip to Australia?

Well that's not correct they have 1 No result
These dhoni idiots are everywhere man. As an Australian I've now started hating the man because of his brainless 5 quids fans.
@@TYBA256😂😂😂
Please don't ruin this for us. We don't have 100 ICC titles like Australia but you don't understand what this means to the few of us left who are cricket supporters in South Africa.
Really surprised to see SA cricket supporters in the comments. I thought all of them have already moved on to other sports.
... haven't moved out of SA, haven't abandoned watching cricket...us SAn's are the eternal optimists, and we got rewarded in 2024.
Anything after this, is gravy 😂
Go on and win it m8 😎
@tusharagarwal6155 well there isn't alot of support for cricket like there is for football and rugby, I'm not saying no 1 supports cricket it just isn't as big like it is in India or Australia, it doesn't help that most of our star players prefer to play in the ipl instead of for South Africa, in rugby for example our stars generally always turn up for the national team it's hard to get support for cricket national team
Woke up at 7AM in India. Saw the score 45-6, waited for Afghans to cross RCB's 49. Slept back once they got to 50.
Shame on you.
And you feel the need to share this for some reason?
@@ARS298 Kid, just give that phone back to your mother.
@@braamvantonder5480 Think of the most disrespectful slur you can think of, and just assume I gave it to you.
Nice 👍 good my man 😂
Woke up at 4:45am in SA hoping to catch most of the 2nd innings. Imagine my surprise to see we'd already won. 🎉😮🇿🇦 (your Afrikaans accent is shocking btw 😂)
I was happy. I got to go back to bed for an hour before getting ready for school. 😅
I woke up at 2am. You missed out lol
@@lesediramagaga575 Haha yeah but so happy we won. Believe me I was dreading waking up to the Proteas being 51/6 or something. Already watched the highlights twice 😂😂
I'm probably the only Indian living in India who was waiting for this for years!!! So proud of these boys... So relieved!
Howzit boets, long time watcher first time finalist🇿🇦
Does the knockout trophy not count?
Love it
I'm from India and congratulations for the first final ❤️❤️bro I can feel you
😂❤
Noicee gary!
Congratulations, SA, for their first final. Thoroughly deserved!
How ? They scraped past in 4 games including minnows. They are just lucky till they arent. And it will happen in the final cos SA look shaky af
Your biggest South African fan reporting in. How am I feeling?
Still thinking Alan Donald should've run, mate. But this is good.
Rabada and Nortje seem to have flames in their eyes.
There were still two goddamn deliveries to go.
Too soon mate to talk about the Donald decision. Still cuts deep thinking about it.
From Durban, South Africa.
Nice one lads 🙏😁
I’m so proud of South Africa.
They have played so well and I have supported them for years and finally I can see them in a final. ❤🇿🇦
Nobody wants those chokers to win.
I'd rather them win than those arrogant pricks India
@@bobburroughs6241that’s rude.
I want them to win. They are such a great team. I don’t think you can say that they are not good.
I love supporting them, they always play games that are fun to watch. 🇿🇦
Just because you don’t want them to win doesn’t mean that everyone doesn’t.
@@awsomerobyn2603proud of you guys love from india ❤ big fan of abd❤
Good luck in the final!
Hate Australia, love you guys. All the way from Cape Town. That wasn't fair on Afghanistan, but now they know how we felt for the last 32 years😂 Feeling good for the final🎉
Only Nepal 🇳🇵 was able to give any real challenge to South Africa
I think every team other than Afg & USA can say this.
@@govuxyz Even USA gave SA a scare
No, Bangladesh and England matches were close too
@@govuxyzAfghanistan one was rigged
@@govuxyz you mean nepal
I doubt any other show will give 3 back-to-back unrelated metaphors for how bad a cricket pitch can be. Love you guys!
Hello from Gold Coast Congratulations to South Africa 🎉🎉
First time listening to this show from SA. So so good!!
I always wanted SA team to win an ICC trophy since I started watching cricket...South African teams deserves all the happiness, they have been so so unfortunate even though it's been top team for so long....❤❤
Bhai India ko bhi jeetna hei
Nobody else wants them to.

Me too
Watching here in South Africa. When even D/L is working in our favour, you know the stars are aligned
It will be interesting if India reaches finals. Who will choke first!
India needs to not choke today first!
@@kkranthi2006 Nowadays I want India to win a cup not for just winning the cup but the Indian critics to shut up for once. They've become more annoying that pakistan critics
I want India to win for all they have delivered in the last 10 years. As a cricket lover, I don’t mind SA World Cup drought ending bcz they finally made to a World Cup final. At the moment, India are favourites to win this time too.
@@holtthedolt
Have you seen the weather forecast for that semi-final?
@@marathiboi96Indian critics were shouting when they won the wc 2011 in test series 2011
So they will always shout irrespective
That accent sounded Scottish🤣 from Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Was up at 2:30 this morning. Didn’t expect to be able to have a nap before getting up for work at 06:00😅
Same. Got to sleep for an hour before getting ready for school 😅
True fan. Barely anyone outside the subcontinent follows cricket to that extent.
Best decision to get up at 2:00. Bowlers indescribably awesome, Reeza and Markram brave with the bat on an unplayable surface! Markram has revealed himself as a tactically cunning captain over the duration of this event! Go Proteas. Sympathy to the shellshocked Afghanis - they did themselves proud in this tournament.
Tbf reeza did nick one
Shellshocked you say ? Both metaphorically and literally ? lol. Hopefully, India reaches the final to meet and beat you in a good final. Well deserved final for you guys. Congrats.
Just excited and proud here in SA,also tired with the early morning match
If the weather ends up being as it's being forecasted, then it's looking like a SA Vs India final. Which should be a cracking contest, but it would be a real shame if that was how the final came to be. Weather, instead of the truly the better team on the day earning their spot to face maybe the best team of the tournament. Genuinely, massively poor planning all around. Regardless, after all these years of pain and heartbreak, really happy for South Africa to finally make a final.
We are finally going to the FINAL!!! I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. My only wish is that we are competitive in the final. But, I am based in Australia currently.🤣🤣
You won't be winning and nobody wants it.
Congratulations
Would love to know how old you are 😂
There's something absolutely hilarious about Higgos looking like RoboCop and getting thoroughly rattled by that ghost story lol
PROTEASSSSSSSSSS VS IND FINAL SHOULD BE FUN
Sa vs Ind final
Out of 20 teams ......if u r d frst team to entr the final...spks alot...about south africa
Yeah.. that SF1 happened before SF2 🤓
Nobody wants a SA win - most hated side.

2 Eastern European DJs commenting on cricket. This was one more thing I wanted to see!
I don't even care that ppl are saying Afghanistan were tired, that umpires call was wrong, we had an easy total etc etc . We played the cards we were dealt and we bloody won! We are into the final!!!!!! I am just bloody ecstatic. Thanks for the great show, after the popping crease, you guys are my favourite!
We love the accents gents, it's good enough for me lol! Love your show
Hi dudes, remember, not all Saffer accents are Afrikaans! Thanks for a great show from Gqeberha, GQ to You, as you would royally screw up pronunciation. Cheers, Shaan
How's it actually pronounced tho
@@NotUrDJ very difficult to render that phonetically in English. The initial G is a soft g sound, the q is a click (commonly explained by making a "door knock" sound by clicking your tongue against the roof of your mouth) and the rh is the gutteral g sound you hear in Afrikaans. So "g(click)beargggah"
Afghanistan litterally shit tipped their way to the semis i don't think they can really complain. Despite the result that sort of pitch did give them the best chance of actually winning it
@@chapmcchap2919good shout
@@chapmcchap2919 yeah not that hard for me since we speak Urdu here in Pakistan and we learn to read Arabic too so we can get most of the sounds right if not the pronunciation lol
SA vs Aus pitch at odi world cup semi last year was bad too.
Afghanistan depended too much on their openers. Felt they were due a fail and our bowlers delivered. If the target was 130 we would struggled. Good to be in a final.
Subscribed a long time ago... 🇿🇦 great commentary once again
SA deserves a World Cup after having the max no. of wins in World Cup from 1992
The ICC and WICB blew this one big time! There were so many issues with this WC, like playing on a deck in New York that was laid only a few months before the tournament. And this farce of a wicket for a semi-final! Only one out of four games in Florida was played due to bad weather and a poor drainage system. A full review must be conducted.
...saw the Afghans batting, couldn't see what score they were chasing, then realised, at 5.30am (cat) we're already on the re-run.
Figured that either Afghanistan or the Proteas collpsed....somehow, Proteas didn't bottle the semi.
No elation, just relief...been trying since 1992 "my magtag" 😅
If AFG had been able to score 110 or close it would've been a tough fight.
and if my mum had wheels, she'd be a bicycle!
Totally. I was hoping that someone would stay put at the crease and pile up runs and atleast get to a 100-120, but what a God-awful day to fail like that! Feel really sad for them.
@@Jaydoggie1 no need to type out stolen jokes here mate
AFG batting line up fumbles when top 3 falis, they are heavily dependent on batters like Gurbaz, Zadran, Naib. Anyway, their first WC knockout match
@@Jaydoggie1 So she'll still be for the streets then?
Lekker boys ! Now for final you can do it
Howzit guys from SA. Loving the podcasts. Can't believe we are in the finals its absolutely amazing what the boys are doing
I still believe we won because i woke up at 2:30 a.m this time instead of sleeping through again😂 nah the oukies just need to keep calm now,to be the best we gotta beat the best, winning this tournament will inspire the nation, increase interest in the game to breed new youngsters, and help us push to become the best in the world consistently.well done boys good luck
Brilliant performance from the boys. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Brilliant? How come? You won't be winning it.
Come on proteassss
Howzit, chokers no more!
Holy fucking shit ... What game. what a result ....come on South Africa you beauty .
We played like a auzzies for once in a semi final .. ruthless and dominant..
And the shades 😎? Did SA blind you with their performance? Barbados, Coconut 🥥 Airways ✈ here we come...
After all the years of heartbreak thank you Aiden Markram for leading South Africa to the final
#asktgc Could the top nations, once in a while, play International friendlies against some upcoming teams, atleast the ones that qualify for the World cups? Don't think it would be that tough to like, play a game in namibia before going to SA, a few games in Netherlands or scotland before going to England, or play Afghanistan, nepal when in India, or play NZ when going to Australia.
It’s been so long 😭🇿🇦
Live from Joburg!!!!
Pezza was very happy with his "that's why they've got the biggest population" joke.
AFG boys need to learn to keep their celebration under control. This has happened in the past as well when they celebrate so hard while beating a big team or qualification that they just loose all their focus and energy. To be part of big team league, they need to keep it under control. Upset is not the goal, Reaching the finals and winning is. As for RSA, I am happy for them. They are talented bunch of players and their country deserves to see this day so cricket can thrive in South Africa. If India makes to Finals by taking revenge of 2022 semifinals loss (having taken the revenge for 2023 ODI WC finals loss to AUS, already), they would have the chance to another revenge of 1998 knockout championship which the last time RSA won an ICC event by defeating India. Wow, this is one revenge World Cup for India :')
yeah! there were shades of Bangladesh in how intensely they celebrated without going all the way. That's what set Ind, Pak, SL apart in how they won their first WC despite being huge underdogs or nearly knocked out.
That game against aus wasn't nearly enough to be called revenge for one the most humiliating final losses of the decade...so pls no....india are yet to even touch aus interms of revenge
Hello from South African as we clear the streets for the Trophy tour next week!😛
Spot on accents! Love the aussies, and very happy to finally be in a final!
One thing that I wanted to see in this game (hopefully in the next) is what happens when pressure is put on SA, have they conquered their demons or will the cracks show.
SA still no lost ❤
Guys you are doing really well don't give a fuck to toxic people
Our Proteas are in it to win it🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pezza's INDvENG opinion was like that clip from 8 Out Of 10 Cats does Countdown where the guy in Dictionary Corner is asked whether he likes word games and he says 'thats none of your business'🤣
Yeah that was Peter Serafinowicz
Abdicates
Happy boys it looks
Was Worst pitch of wcupt20 semifinal history ..?
The Markram 'wicket' could have led to something but it's not likely to have been the difference between victory and defeat. Some cool heads still in the dressing room, between Stubbs, Klaasen and Miller. Has Hendricks finally found some form? Probably not.
Jansen might be a nightmare to face in the finals, between bowling wides and bouncers and balls that swing in perfectly on to the top of off.
Mates another convict coming ur way Julian Assamge..u guys are classic convicts..cheers mate
Well done to the team
#askTGC If India wins the second semi final, then it’s a stoppable force vs a movable object in the final. Do you think the final will be washed out, leading to India and South Africa choke again?
You guys spoke that accent very deliciously🤣😎 cheers from SA!
I think one reason why batsmen dont react to goad opposition into wasting reviews - they don't want to break their concentration. Any break causes concentration break.
Well done to Afghanistan 🇦🇫.. you guys came a long way lads! To mzansi --- we are proud.. south-africa ALL THE WAY ❤
Glasses look cool
Go South Africa!!
The semi final hoodoo has been broken Markram is a sensational captain. Protea fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤞🤞🤞 fingers crossed this is our year.
Molweni Bahlobo, been watching from Cape Town for years 💪😌🇿🇦
From south africa
Don't care much if SA win or not, just happy AUS didn't qualify
Cheers from india the feeling is mutual ❤😂
Your swearing is so intentional 😂 Im convinced you even script it 😅
We got South Africa into the Final before GTA 6!!!
#asktgc do you think the boys flew home with julian assange
What is it with sports glasses?
it's kinda funny that in 1992 Rain gave a push to Pakistan instead of Australia for semis, while giving exit to south africa cause of a controversial rule, Post that year, pakistan became the lucky team which reaches semis cause of someone else winning or losing and africa is the unluckiest one. But This year rain gave exit to Pakistan and Gave a win to south africa in a controversial rule (in league stage), Did that broke the luck cycle in cricket and made the ground more even
Why you guys have sunglasses on inside studio 🙄🙄
All the best SA. Hope youse win.
South African here, been on the show since last years WC. Hope to meet India, need revenge on last year's swatting. Jansen to knock over Rohit in the first over, shot!
The Afghan players were drained physically and emotionally after their heroic efforts in last 2 matches.
They tried their best but it was a match too many for them.
The conditions of the pitch also didn’t help them too much to do well.
About the chokers tag, SA has finally broken it in this WC.
Will India take over this chokers tag as they had lost 3 finals and 1 SF since 2023 in red n white ball ICC tournaments?
Not over yet unfortunately 😂 but yeah, hopefully SA go and win it now
Afghanistan weak point is the batting other than the openers. Everyone sucks.
@@MonkeyDLuffy-sv2pt
Jonathan Trout has acknowledged this fact and has said he will do the necessary to strengthen the middle order batting.
Here from Trinidad 🇹🇹
SA went in as test cricket nation, thy didn't show off 150kmph we have pace just showed Afgn you still new kids and have been here before today we gna go for kill and bowl like true line&length wickt taking deliverys. Markham Grt mind for game.
Well dun Afgn team
You look coool Higgos😮 ..
Are you Gay?
I will keep that view to myself, top tier punditry! 😂😂
South Africa going to win this world cup title
Batsman thinking... hang on I might get away with this ... this was awesome view point !
Lack of test match cricket showed on the Afghanistan side, this deck looked like first day at the wandares stadium.. technique was tested
man, we are chuffed over here
Guys, Afghan is the name of the nationality and Afghani is the name of their currency
South Africa break their Semi final jinx in attempt number 7,
Thala for a reason 😅
What's with the sunglasses guys??
7:42 markram is one lucky bloke
Now delivering within 10 overs
If IND will win semifinal against England then INDIA will lift the trophy 100%. For INDIA this match is very much crucial. ALL THE BEST INDIAN TEAM.
India will choke
Your views on Rohit sharma’s press conference comments on key takeaway from the india vs aus game?
OMG - am only 6.32 into the vid and Higgos has already said “the Afghanis” twice! Dude - the afghani is the official currency of Afghanistan. You mean “the Afghans”. THANKS!
This is the problem when minnows get through to knockouts, their batting lets them down, i predicted sa had an easy path to the final.
Also the problem when good batting sides like Australia decide to piss around bowling pies and dropping catches , it costs them
Honestly I think the other group was easier.
There was WI, ENG, SA and USA in the same super 8 pool. Take out USA and you have tree top level teams.
But with the beginning pool I would agree that it was easier
@@awsomerobyn2603 yeah that's true i didn't think of that. It's a dumb format anyway, it's such a lottery, following that Afghanistan- Bangladesh game to see if Aus would get through was a clear example of that. Now I'm in a situation where the remaining teams are historically ones I never ever supported. Even though I was born and raised in England, it's always been Australia over England for me and I live in Australia now (Perth). Tomorrow is the first time I'll be supporting England I reckon, I just can't stand India and the Indian supporters, the gits kept waving their flag in my face at the match the other day. Maybe I'll support SA in the final, they deserve to finally break their hoodoo at some time
You don't want them to even wave their flags? You are just racist
The deck could not be that bad if Reeza Hendricks got 29* on it…
I have some Headlines if 🇮🇳 qualify for the finals

Proteas have never choked in a final...we're in uncharted territory. No history for us to overcome anymore, we've hit the gravy stage of cricket world cups, by slaying the semi-final choker monkey😂
