C,D,and E they have a real issue when playing the Aussies in big games that's for sure,what was graham smith thinking with the ridiculous tactic of trying to charge the new ball and same for kallis-totally out of character for him.
also i think they were beaten by a better side SA batting line up doesn't look as strong as the Aussies and their bowling is too one dimensional all the bowlers are roughly the same pace with not alot of variation, unlike Australia who has a real menace in Tait,line and length in mcgrath,swing in bracken and a good spinner in hogg plus Watson who bowls around 140km and symonds who bowls spin and medium pace.
S.A fielding is top notch same as the Aussies but their mental strength seems way behind the Aussies who can handle pressure and turn the pressure on.

Sometimes they are A(Unlucky) in thei their previus semi final.. sometimes they are B, when lost match against bangladesh and sometimes F, and that is their strage attitude !!! they have repeated their history.....Playing so well in the begining and then giving up at the end.......for this semi final i would say they have given up themselves...........there was no luck factor involved .......they got the first batting and with their excellent batting squad they must have set a better target !! if other teams can score more than 250 against Australia then why not SA, i agree Australians are the best , but so was the south African betting line.......then why it collapsed that way?? Pathetic !! I was hoping this time they would not repeat their history but they have proven that they are so "consistent" in that ! its realy disappointing !

India's bowling looks its weak point. Zaheer Khan no longer being there's a situation for India. Kumble is genuinely an outstanding bowler despite the indisputable fact that the others are literally not that effective. Getting 20 wickets is the splendid situation for India. India may ought to be counted on Kumble, RP Singh, Pathan, Harbhajan and Sreesanth to get the wickets. all of them received't be able to take 20 wickets, if we bypass by their performances in and after 2007 in attempt matches. Sehwag may ought to chip in to get wickets, if no longer Sourav and Sachin. on the different hand, South Africa are properly positioned in bowling. Steyn, RJ Peterson, Ntini, Morne Morkel, Paul Harris and Kallis are in solid type and may take 20 wickets very genuinely. Batting the front: both look equivalent. i think that SAF has the area simply by extra helpful bowling power.

I personally beleive they were
E. beaten by a better team
Australia was in bad form when it lost the two one day series before the cup. They got their heads together and worked hard to fix thier game and now they are steam rolling the opposition.
They are not unlucky or unprepared, becasue if they were they wouldnt have made the semis.
They are not big game chokers, becasue they won a few big games.
Go Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lost their morals after losing to Bangladesh.
They gave a good fight in the league match against aussies, but failed miserably in the semis because of this.
Of course Aussies are a better team, but SA's should have lost by a smaller margin.

i think it's B and E. we've always experienced probklems when playing with the Aussies. And of course Australia has put on an extremely good performance in this world cup, we did'nt stand a chance. the problem with SA is that there si always that fear of losing whenever they play the Aussies and the Aussies can sense and put on more pressure.

i would go for E.
Australians are definitely "the best", atleast for the time being. And surely, the SA-ns have been beaten by the better / rather the best team.
