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

Serioulsy ? Chasing here is difficult & easy when Virat does it . All these days you where saying batting first is difficult .

At some point you have to be classy and give up

Haha...dont even try mate. These guys are hillarious on so many levels and so inconsistent in their logic ...
 
Ha ha ha.

I see that this batfest is so boring that people are reduced to discussing the piety of beard-wearers.

I did half-hope that the Indians might find some lift or lateral movement that the South Africans couldn't, to prove me wrong.

But India are managing the situation well. It is a phenomenon as old as ODIs themselves that scoreboard pressure will often let the side batting first prevail if they score a big total.
 
Faf should have looked to take it to the PP, his wicket has really made things much more difficult for SA.
 
Faf Out too..RSA in trouble. Mohit having a great day.

We were expecting you, Junaids. What about scrapping MCG of hosting rights? These pitches are too flat, is it? :))
 
That's why the Aussies are scary, they're fearless and bat really deep.

& they play the same brand of cricket in KOs too , playing at home & they know how to win WCs . NZs disadvantage is lack of experience & historically have choked in semis .
 
Indian body language looks nothing like we have been seeing for the last 2 months. So much energy.

Listen to your dada, Ganguly on commentary. Kohli hasn't chased 300 in this WC yet, has he?

Lost in 92 because we lost our captain (imagine India in the Semi against Pak with 260 on the board..) while the other times we've been beaten by better teams.

I said the MCG was too flat after wasting $90 to watch the Australian batfest against England. It's a terrible surface for a sporting contest.

And I also was a lone voice in the "How badly will India get owned by South Africa" thread in saying that the pitch is so flat that India might well win.

It's not like I've changed my tune.
 
Have to say that loss of Philander was huge, I doubt Waleed bhai would have bowled as many over as he did if Philander wasn't injured.
 
Sigh. Now it's over. Back to the drawing board. The fifth bowler is a real issue. Maybe try Abbott.
 
Indians dominating. At this rate they will win the WC. they have lots of ground support too. Indians deserve it. They are playing wonderful. What a clinical operation and commitment.

The word 'choke' is being loosely applied here- this is just good bowling and fielding by India. They kept pressure throughout on SA.

Yep, we are taking this cup home too. South Africa is the strongest team and if can defeat them we can defeat anyone.

lol Virat has chased down half a dozen 350 scores on his own .

Unlike you dada and warne wont tell you that the games Virat chased down where easy . its always difficult chasing 300+ totals , even playing Zim or Ireland

As for the ongoing WC , Virat has cored 150 runs in 2 matches batting first , which according to you is a lot more difficult than batting second .

All the struggling and out of form players should take a lesson from Indian batsmen. They were terrible before this WC but never you saw their shoulders down, they kept on working and persisted and now results are there to see for all.

Not really, Australia are still the favorites by far.
 
Indian Bowling performance continues to impress, its been a fantastic all round effort from the bowlers so far.

You need to up your game and realize that every game is different and has different conditions. Chasing down 300 in India is not the same as chasing down 300 here. Similarly, batting first in South Africa is not the same as batting first in Sri Lanka.
 
Always knew we are a better ODI team than staffers. Champions trophy and now this. We always perform well in the big stage.

we might as well scrap all the games in rest of the world , cos the only thing what matters is where Amla scores ..which is home turf . Rediculous man .
 
India's fielding is right up there. Their out-fielding is simply astonishing. Quickly cover the ground, stay low, quick release and strong accurate throws. And these are the pacers who are usually weak links in teams.
 
Our two in form batsman running themselves out. Oh I hate you Waleed. I blame you and only you.

It is not "Rediculous" because Amla averages more away than at home. Not that this is about him. I'm talking about the entire South African side and the fact that chasing a 300 total today would be very difficult for any team.
 
Fielding effort of Indians was equally impressive like the bowling

A very satisfying game this is for us, Indians :)
 
SA have no chance of winning the WC, there's just too many teams that are better than them.

And pretty much any team can give them a heartbreak in a knockout. Can't wait for AUS vs NZ. Will pretty much determine the champions. :)

Too true. We're an all rounder short. Good top 6 and good 4 bowlers. But no team can win a world cup with 10 men only. Parnell and Behardien have been abominations.
 
Out again !!

I am in love with the cround in melbourne..amazing ...

Indian crowds are necessary to make any tournament lively.
