2015 World Cup Result : India trounce South Africa by 130 runs

[adnan yasin]

Morkel leaking one boundary every over with 3-4 singles

 

[Electron]

Dhawan looked clueless for over 1 year on all kind of surfaces, and suddenly, he is a different man. He looks to be a big match player.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Is it just me or is Kohli smiling more today?

 

[Sandeep]

Dhawan disturbing Morkel's rhythm..

 

[Mp812]

four...awesome reply by dhawan

Well that is possible, guy delivered in Champions Trophy too!

 

[shah_1]

Classy batting by Indians

 

[cricket.mad]

EXACTLY.

Good batting against great bowling on a sporting pitch is surviving.

But if you can score 4 runs per over in the first 13 overs against Steyn, Philander and Morkel you know that it is not good batting - it is modern anti-cricket pitch conditions at play.

I'm going to wait until 20 overs and if there still hasn't been a single ball deviate off the seam I will give up and watch something more interesting, like paint drying.

And then the rest of you can carry on deluding yourself in peace, lying to yourselves that this isn't a dead wicket tailor-made for batsmen!

You told you attended aus-eng match..right?...then why are you moaning about pitch here..Crybaby,get a life man..more is there in life than crying all ur time on india

16 overs

 

[adarsh_bang]

Why haven't they bowled Parnell yet?

 

[DarkKnightRisesAgain]

Tahir is the ugliest cricketer in the world!

 

[Mp812]

Guess score if Pakistan was batting now

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Think I heard the commentators say Philander has a tight hamstring. Might not bowl. I hope that isn't true.

 

[Sandeep]

Tahir is the ugliest cricketer in the world!

Can't understand why his beauty is important here..

 

[mithun_minhas]

Tahir is the ugliest cricketer in the world!

He is a pretty decent bowler. Seems to be improving.

 

[MartyMsd]

What? did you not read 'Pain Monthly' last month? The walls these days are being made more and more smoother and so the paint drying is made a lot easier. Paint drying is not the same anymore. It is a dead activity these days.

 

[Hitman]

Guess score if Pakistan was batting now

85-0

 

[Nikhil_cric]

AB can fly

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli again settled here , looking dangerous.

He would never cry about the pitch in Aussie or Lankan matches. Just the possibility of Kohli scoring runs makes him keep his excuses ready.

I remember him declaring Sanga the best based on an innings on an absolutely flat deck. He didn't whine about the pitch then.

 

[leatherface58]

Bhai with a disingenuous appeal.

 

[Scorpion]

tere bina mujhe kick mujhe milti nahin

 

[Saffer_XIII]

I have a bad feeling about Parnell today.

 

[Scorpion]

Parnell bhai to bowl

 

[leatherface58]

Oh God Parnell is a bhai too!

 

[Electron]

Parnell is a bhai ?!

 

[Justcrazy]

Parnell in now , crucial spell.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

145.5 kph from Warnell Bhai

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Wow. Parnell with good pace.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

shot by Dhawan, why didn't I pick him

 

[Scorpion]

Dhawan cuts fiercely. Throws everything at it.

 

[leatherface58]

Lol who is this guy and where is the earlier Dhawan?

 

[jattafridi]

Dhawan 50* well played

 

[Electron]

Dhawan


Good knock.

 

[Justcrazy]

77 / 1

18 overs

 

[Anfield]

Pakistanis here should look at Dhaawan how is he pacing his innings. You can't just go and start hitting from ball 1. We want our batsmen to play like Gilly from the word go.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Great over by Duminy. Seems like spin isn't easy to put away

 

[Justcrazy]

79 / 1

19 overs

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Dropped. Should have caught that.

 

[leatherface58]

Benevolent stuff from Amla bhai

 

[adarsh_bang]

Parne is pacy! For some reason i remember him being mid 130s!

 

[mithun_minhas]

India showing too much respect for Duminy.

Spinners are the weaklings in this SA attack. At least they need to score 4 or 5 singles in their over.

2 singles of Diminy is not good enough.

 

[dildilpak]

India playing fast bowlers better than spinners. Who would have thought that!

 

[Scorpion]

oooo not a good start by amla bhai

 

[Electron]

Good try from Amla.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhawan dropped !!!!

 

[Scorpion]

What has Parnell eaten ? Ball is zipping off the pitch.

 

[dildilpak]

Should have taken that.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

bhai dropped the World Cup

 

[adarsh_bang]

Looks like Philander won't come back to bowl. That is why Duminy so much?

 

[Justcrazy]

83 / 1

20 overs

 

[sachintendulkar76]

Kohli is playing yet another selfish innings. He is way overrated.

 

[Electron]

Dhawan wants his hundred real bad. I hope he doesn't get Kohli run-out.

 

[Indiafan]

Kohli is playing yet another selfish innings. He is way overrated.

Nope, that seems to be India's strategy this world cup, to save wickets initially

 

[Justcrazy]

86 . 1

21 overs

 

[Saeed]

Middle overs of ODIs are pretty boring.

 

[sachintendulkar76]

Kohli is irritating me. He is wasting balls that too part time bowlers.

 

[Scorpion]

The crowd is just unbelievable. Great atmosphere.

 

[sachintendulkar76]

Nope, that seems to be India's strategy this world cup, to save wickets initially

Against part timers. No way they would be able score against steyn during death overs.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Stupid umpire. What the hell was that

 

[Anfield]

Kohli looks like half the player he was 6 months ago in ODIs.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Aman]

Literally fell asleep watching this match...

No runs and no wickets....

 

[shah_1]

I agree that Kohli isn't at his best but surviving

 

[sachintendulkar76]

Kohli has very limited strokes.

 

[Aman]

The crowd is just unbelievable. Great atmosphere.

Reckon it was better last week, it doesn't sound as full as it was last week for Aus and England. Or is it just me?

 

[rollingstoned]

Owned him

it isn't always this flat or dead. and why is it relevant referring to the England Australia game? If it was as flat as that we should be Batting more aggressively.

 

[sachintendulkar76]

Kohli is playing for his century.

 

[Justcrazy]

Clouds gathering now........ will it rain

 

[shah_1]

Dhawan is looking class

 

[mithun_minhas]

Gift from JP.

 

[Scorpion]

Reckon it was better last week, it doesn't sound as full as it was last week for Aus and England. Or is it just me?

You can't beat screaming Indian crowd.

 

[Lords]

Too slow, They need to increase the RR, its just one wicket down.

Though i must say this Dhawan guy looks like a big stage player, he failed miserably for months and chose right time to click

 

[Indiafan]

Against part timers. No way they would be able score against steyn during death overs.

I agree. However Kohli has said he has been asked to be the anchor by the management. And he is trying that. It is a pity as he is a free flowing batsman

 

[Aman]

This is a great pitch, India will need 310-320 to defend with the bowling attack they have.

 

[shah_1]

Indian batsmen should now try to increase the run rate

 

[shah_1]

This is brutal by Dhawan, the charge is on now

 

[Scorpion]

Dhawan in full confidence.

 

[Aman]

Too slow, They need to increase the RR, its just one wicket down.

Though i must say this Dhawan guy looks like a big stage player, he failed miserably for months and chose right time to click

Going at less than 5 an over on this pitch is criminal.

Nothing in it at all, the average score here is 280, with the attack India have that means you'll need 310+.
