Proteas fans in denial with match-fixing claims?
Do several South African cricket fans know something we don’t, or are they just battling to come to terms with yet another heartbreaking semi-final exit? Their theory is that match-fixing is the only explanation for how poorly the Proteas performed against the Black Caps.
I refuse to believe the Proteas are *THIS* shit.

Has to be match fixing.
Proteas suffer T20 World Cup humiliation
New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl first. South Africa started poorly, eventually gathered themselves and posted a respectable 169/8, thanks largely to a stellar knock from fast bowler and number 7 batter Marco Jansen, who ended unbeaten on 55* off 30 balls. The unlikely hero candidate emerged after the South African top order disintegrated again in a big match.
The Black Caps, however, made a mockery of that total, chasing it down with nine wickets and 43 balls to spare. Opener Finn Allen sent South Africa’s bowlers to all corners of the ground, smashing 100 off 33 balls, the fastest ever century in T20 World Cups. Getting beaten in a tight contest is fine, but this was never a contest. Fan disappointment is bordering on PTSD at this point, for a support base that’s been through A LOT.
