What's new

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

Would have backed Waled bhai for a ton, but I don't think he'll be able to bowl his quota :))
 
One big facor in Indias favour is that SA went in with one batsmen short today . Parnell bats @7 . Not easy chasing big totals
 
Waleed bhai is the only young left arm pacer who is inferior to Junaid Khan in every possible way.
 
It would be better if you looked at South African innings before deciding how interesting the match is...

What if they get bowled out for 200?

Still flat pitch?

Yes.

It's flat because there is no lift and no lateral deviation - not even for Steyn and Philander with the new ball.

If India win, it will most likely be not due to majestic bowling with lift and seam and swing but scoreboard pressure. Which is perfectly reasonable - it's the same flat pitch for both sides.
 
Parnell better make some runs with the bat. If he does, he should get another game since Behardien is a pretty mediocre batsman.
 
India barely has any batting left after this pair. Any damage would have to be done by this pair.
 
AB was stupid to give Waleed bhai the over, he could have removed these 2 with Steyn and Morkel..
 
I wouldn't call today's innings a failure. Dhoni did what he could with the little time he had.
 
Good cameo by Dhoni. Should have stayed till the end though.
 
This pathetic finish to the innings will ensure we continue our losing streak to South Africa in world cups :facepalm:
 
Choke, hack and sitter are the most overused cricket terms on PP. Every failure is a choke, every aggressive batsman is a hack and every dropped catch is a sitter.
 
If india are gonna win these runs are enough..if not another 15-20 wudnt have made much diferrence..
 
This could go either way.

India finished really poorly in the last 5-6 overs.

Have to agree with that. Pretty much everyone is a hack here.
 
In my mind, I read their names with bhai at the end now.

Thanks Bilal :)))

You do realize that it was Mamoon who came up with it, right? I've never referred to Amla as bhai. Who am I kidding, ofcourse you don't.
 
Great finish by Steyn. His death bowling has really improved. If we do well against the spinners we'll chase this easy
 
Really like Ganguly as a commentator. He is completely neutral and talks what both captains needs to do and their field placements etc.

SA bowling well like Pakistan in the last 5 overs, but they have 10 times better batting than Paksitan so let's see.

De Villiers living dangerously because of slow over rate, but he was hampered by Philander's injury.
 
SA can chase this.

Pitch is absolute beauty to bat on. Just swing through the line and everything will be either a 4 or 6.
 
Spinners bowled well, so India shouldn't be that worried.

I remember it's [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] starts it and [MENTION=135445]Strike Rate[/MENTION] follows it to mock him but it backfires to [MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION]
 
Really bad by India. If India has any hopes to do well as the tournament progresses, the last 5 overs batting needs to really improve.

Sucks doesn't it?
 
Saf bowled well in general. only Parnell having a field day and philander getting crocked messed things up for them. this is a pretty batting friendly wicket.
 
SA have advantage here. We needed around 330 to be safe. 307 is probably not enough if Quinton,AB,Faf, Amla,Miller,Duminy is the batting lineup. The good thing though is that there are 3 left handed bats so Ashwin might be useful after all.

Yes he did come up with "Bhai" because of certain reasons.

I don't entirely condone the "term" but you can see why those reasons make sense for a lot of reasons now.

Pakistani exports perform better against India doesn't mean Ind spinners are gonna do well Amla just needs to stay and match is over!

Whatever you say... :danish
 
If we lose this game then it's on Parnell. So frustrated with him.
 
I started calling them bhais because of Bhai Association ®.

Not my invention.
 
Not a huge total considering India's bowling and South Africa's batting. Amla will score a century for fun against Indian trundlers.
