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

[Romali_rotti]

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

Inshallah brother that wont happen as India has more muslims than South Africa God will favor us today.

 

[IndianWillow]

India not finishing as well as they should, 3/266 to 7/307 in 6 overs is a poor effort at the death. They messed up against Pak also. India lacks the will to for the final blitz to get the score to 330-340 like Aus/NZ/SA in these conditions. For Indian bowling those extra 30 runs can provide the winning cushion.

 

[JaDed]

If we lose this game then it's on Parnell. So frustrated with him.

never seen him perform well atleast against us not sure why SA keep sticking with him!

 

[BillyM]

SA choke expected

 

[Saeed]

SA choke expected

This is not a knock out stage, South Africa is winning this.

Let us see. 307 seems enough

 

[BillyM]

300 has never been chased at MCG... But with India's woeful bowling ..it might be doable

 

[Buffet]

SA choke expected

We don't choke in league matches.

 

[f.b.m]

South Africa don't stand a chance without the ATG Farhaan Behardien.

You'd think Parnell has everything going for him to turn into an excellent player!!

He's fit, an athlete, plus he has the pace. Can weild the willow as well.

His seniors are among the best in the world Steyn, Morkel and Philander. A wealth of skill and experience to tap for advice.

Donald as coach, pace legend.

Yet Morkel bowls like an indian. )

 

[Buffet]

Let us see. 307 seems enough

When did not able to chase 307 become a definition of choke?

 

[Saeed]

Let us see. 307 seems enough

Its enough to lose. India is not playing against Pakistan or Sri Lanka. Brother Hashim Amla averages 57.45 against India.

 

[BillyM]

Brother Kohli failed... So will Brother Amla ....lol

 

[Fire Bird]

How are the Saffers going to chase this down without Don Behardein

 

[Mr Consistent]

amla off the mark

 

[shortbread]

Let us see. 307 seems enough

The Indian bowlers looked impressive the first game defending 300, but the opponents were Pakistan. That's hardly an international cricket yardstick, not long before minnows start limiting Pak batsmen to 100 odd runs.

SA on the other hand have Moeen, ABDV, DuPlessis, Duminy, Miller......heck at the bottom even Steyn can smack it. So 6 and over should be easy if SA simply use their common sense. India doesnt have a single strike bowler.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kock lucky to be there

 

[Mr Consistent]

first boundary

The last line is accurate

 

[jattafridi]

Lucky

 

[adnan yasin]

Oh man .. Quinton going very first ball...for a pull shot

Top edge for

 

[Bilal7]

Have to say that the countdown builds up anticipation. The players need to look more natural though and stop making us look at their jerseys.

 

[Electron]

Lucky start for Kock.

 

[Iffitheking]

Phainta time...

 

[jattafridi]

Don't lose wickets

 

[JaDed]

Umesh Yadav makes me so jittery terrible bowler even if he takes 300 wickets i wouldn't rate him!

 

[Saeed]

Hell yeah .

 

[adnan yasin]

Quinton now chasing a wide delivery.

is he finding ways to get out

 

[Electron]

Kock playing like a hack.

 

[Silverlion]

bio amla need to perform.

 

[Bilal7]

Shami will be the key for India. If he can get Amla and De Kock early, the Indians will be all over the Saffers.

 

[Iffitheking]

boy Ganguly talks too much.... stop talking it's not radio...

 

[rhony]

Brother Kohli failed... So will Brother Amla ....lol

46 is hardly a failure!!!

 

[Electron]

147kph Yadav.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Now we will see how our bowling fares against a real batting lineup. Hope they at least make life difficult for saffers.

 

[adnan yasin]

6 of the 1st over

 

[Electron]

Yadav makes consistent pace look so easy. Doesn't even have a run-up.

 

[adnan yasin]

little bit of swing for shami

 

[JibranAnsari]

Time to choke

 

[Saeed]

Indian will be pretty sad because they won't get wickets handed to them in plates.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

We don't choke in league matches.

You did against England in the last WC.

 

[adnan yasin]

sweet timing by amla.. nice flick but no run

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yadav makes consistent pace look so easy. Doesn't even have a run-up.

Effortless pace. Mitchell starc is another.

 

[Laparwah]

India have again proved how to bat sensibly and maturely. Despite losing an early wicket they did not panic at all, there was no rush rather Kohli and Dhawan batted how all professionals should. I tell you had we lost an early wicket against an attack like RSA our overrated and pathetic batsmen would not have scored over a 100.

 

[adnan yasin]

 

[Saeed]

Indian bowlers are scared to bowl to Brother Amla, so he bowled wide.

 

[Anfield]

India has been going off Radar in last 10 overs with so many wickets in hand. They should have scored at least 20 runs more.

 

[Saeed]

Well guided to the third man, great batting.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I have Mohammed Shami in my fantasy cricket

 

[JibranAnsari]

Indian bowlers are far better than pakistani bowlers.

 

[Bilal7]

Well guided to the third man, great batting.

It is just a single man, relax.

 

[Electron]

Effortless pace. Mitchell starc is another.

I wish Aaron was here too. Amla bhai would have struggled against genuine pace and bounce.

 

[adnan yasin]

bad record for SA while chasing outside home .. only 35% in last years

 

[dildilpak]

Indian bowlers are scared to bowl to Brother Amla, so he bowled wide.

'Brother Amla'??? This brother won't hesitate scoring a century against us if he could, he is a South African first. Dont know how he can be called Brother

 

[Bilal7]

Unless Amla scores big, I don't see the Saffers winning this. ABD can't do it on his own.

 

[Buffet]

You did against England in the last WC.

We are allowed to lose some time. I can cite others choking more frequently than SA in regular games.

 

[Firebreaker]

We have brought Dhawan back in form

 

[Bilal7]

'Brother Amla'??? This brother won't hesitate scoring a century against us if he could, he is a South African first. Dont know how he can be called Brother

He's being sarcastic. The brother part is for religious brotherhood.

 

[NZcricketfan]

bad record for SA while chasing outside home .. only 35% in last years

To be fair 4 of the 5 losses are Australia

 

[Bilal7]

India's two spinners might help them here. Tahir and Duminy did well and this pitch has 50 overs worth of wear on it.

 

[JaDed]

why is Kock jittery?Playing against an Asian pace attack he should be as confident as ever.

 

[adnan yasin]

nice push towards cover... 2 runs by quin

 

[Saffer_XIII]

De Kock always looks so nervous. Damn baby face

 

[dildilpak]

He's being sarcastic. The brother part is for religious brotherhood.

Nationality and Patriotism is way above religion.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I wish Aaron was here too. Amla bhai would have struggled against genuine pace and bounce.

Yeah. Aaron,Yadav,Shami should have been our attack.

 

[Saeed]

Great running by Amla, 2 runs for de kock.

 

[adnan yasin]

To be fair 4 of the 5 losses are Australia

Aussies are humans as well

 

[NZcricketfan]

Hmm sorry only 2 of the losses against australia. not sure who the others are against

 

[JaDed]

We are allowed to lose some time. I can cite others choking more frequently than SA in regular games.

SA has never lost to us in the WC don't see that occurring here either!

 

[Bilal7]

Nationality and Patriotism is way above religion.

For you perhaps. Anyways, this isn't the thread for this discussion.

 

[adnan yasin]

12-0 in 3 overs

Amla tried to hook but missed it completely

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India's two spinners might help them here. Tahir and Duminy did well and this pitch has 50 overs worth of wear on it.

Won't spinners find it hard to grip the ball.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

De Kock scored 3 centuries in 3 matches against india and i think all of them came batting first?

 

[JaDed]

Yeah. Aaron,Yadav,Shami should have been our attack.

I don't trust Aaron and Yadav no improvement shown in the last 3 years!

 

[Bilal7]

Wahab Riaz is quicker than Yadav. Point to be noted.

 

[Bilal7]

Won't spinners find it hard to grip the ball.

Only if there is dew. This isn't the subcon.

 

[JaDed]

 

[Aman]

Bound to happen, De Kock looked rattled.

Another choker in the making?

 

[adnan yasin]

and as it was looking... kock gone

 

[Slog]

Mn Yadav is fast

I wonder how Indian bowlers feel having someone who gets over 140k every delivery
