2015 World Cup Result : South Africa beat Ireland by 201 runs

[Azlan Khan]

The Irish take on the Saffers in Canberra in an interesting Group B.

Ireland have won both their matches, while South Africa have won two out of their three.

South Africa look favourites of overcoming Ireland, but can the Irish cause a major upset?

 

[hamzie]

major upset?

lets hope they dont

 

[Point Black]

Go Ireland.

 

[iafzal]

If Ireland wins Pak is in trouble. They will have to win the SAF game for sure to qualify. SAF will then be fighting for the 4th spot. Doubt SAF will lose or come even close to losing. I am pretty sure Ireland will bat if they win the toss. They do not want a huge target to chase even though they are good at it.

 

[desi_launda]

Dont see Ireland stopping SA from getting 400+ if they bat first

 

[siddharth]

I can't see IR winning this, SA might have started badly, far below every body's expectation.But they are already in the grove and in great form...

 

[Point Black]

Come on the leprechauns.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Wait it's in Canberra?

That means SA will score more than 350 .. And Ireland 250 all out.

Flat pitch as well.

 

[shane]

Important game for Pakistan and Ireland. Pakistan needs SA to thrash Ireland to boost their chances of qualifying.

 

[Point Black]

Why is there only one match a day? They should have had 3, would have shortened the WC.

 

[Qadeer]

So many teams with so many games to play and there was no match yesterday strange.

Everyone rating ireland so highly just because they beat WI who are as unpredictable as pakistan. I expect a big thrashing of irish today bring them back to earth.

 

[ShahKhan007]

Hoping the Irish get the beating of a life time in this game. We need all the help we can get.

Always a flat wicket at Manuka so if SA bat first 400 is very possible.

 

[dildilpak]

Why is there only one match a day? They should have had 3, would have shortened the WC.

Yeah, I had the same query as well. Really poor management - they could have more than one match a day including the marquee ones on weekend. And then people blame the long schedule on poor associate teams

 

[Point Black]

Yes exactly.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Irish will fight all the way but the punishment here will be so severe they wil doubt their own luck in the remaining games

 

[Professor]

SA batting first, 400 is definitely on unless the Irish spinners can keep the run rate in check during the middle overs.

 

[Point Black]

Ireland to go for glory today.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

3 am? check

Lost toss?? check

Massive score on the cards?? Oh hell check

 

[Justcrazy]

Ireland would need a miracle to beat SA.

 

[Justcrazy]

100th ODI for Styen

3 am? check

Lost toss?? check

Massive score on the cards?? Oh hell check

Upset on cards --- Check

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Mooney bhai Hasan to open the bowling

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Oh and btw guys...

A polite warning...

Bringing anything related to beard in this thread, I will hand out infractions...

Treat Amla as a South African player please.

I have to keep reminding in every match of SA.

Thanks

 

[Justcrazy]

Maiden to start with

 

[desi_launda]

Come on Amla bhai(for my fantasy league team)

[Enforcer]

I beg to ab devillers to come at no.3 today. An easy double-hundred or even a triple-hundred is there for the taking .

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Sorensen is utterly hopeless vs test teams

 

[Justcrazy]

Amla gets that away

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Amla looking in imperious form!

 

[Justcrazy]

Irish need quick wickets.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Massive edge lol

 

[Mr Consistent]

[Thivagar]

LOL SL umpires

 

[soso_killer]

Goeie môre PP, with that QdK will be on his bike

Meh... Cricket is not that big in Ireland.
When Graeme met his wife and told her he played cricket for a living she rolled her eyes over thinking he was a bum still living with his parents. After avoiding a couple of requests for a date she finally wilted to his South African charm.
A good story that.

PS: was not impressed with the circumstances of his proposal though.

 

[jattafridi]

Drop catch

 

[soso_killer]

We've played a lot of our games in NZ, I would like a couple in Aus as well.
Just to get used to the big grounds.

 

[Laparwah]

Why are Pakistanis here supporting Ireland??. We want RSA to win for sure.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Amla in total control

 

[Justcrazy]

Amla doing well

 

[soso_killer]

de kock cant bat outside South Africa

Lol, whatever tickles you

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Dropping Amla on a flat wicket...

Inexcusable.

 

[Point Black]

Why did the leprechauns drop that catch.

 

[jattafridi]

I hope abcd score another century today

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Why are Pakistanis here supporting Ireland??. We want RSA to win for sure.

I am with Ireland because it makes more fun to see an upset.

The way I see it, Pakistan has to win 6 consecutive games to win the World Cup.

I don't want us to get into QF on results of other teams.

Win em all and win the damn thing.

 

[Electron]

Amla should make full use of the extra lives.

No pace from Ireland, no bounce in the pitch..perfect conditions for him to score big.

 

[Electron]

He is a Dhawan like hack with no technique.

 

[leatherface58]

Who's that umpire? Horrible. Clear nick not spotted and now an unfair wide.

Amla should make full use of the extra lives.

No pressure either

 

[Dr_Bassim]

He is a Dhawan like hack with no technique.

Who Amla?

 

[soso_killer]

Lol good conversation between these two gentlemen Atherton and Pollock

 

[Electron]

de kock cant bat outside South Africa

He is a Dhawan like hack with no technique.

 

[Justcrazy]

is well settled now.

 

[Zeshan547]

Amla without pressure is different from amla under pressure in a big game, quality player but bottler in the truest sense.

 

[Electron]

Who Amla?

Kock.

My mobile is playing tricks on me since I woke up. The post I quote disappeared.

There waa no pressure in the earlier matches too.

Amla got multiple lives in all matches, and still didn't do much. Teams with hit the deck bowlers will trouble him in Australia.

[Point Black]

Amla on fire? Is he batting second?

 

[OZGOD]

400 coming up.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ireland needs to keep taking wickets at regular intervals.

 

[Zeshan547]

As a pakistani i am supporting south africa to not just beat irish but thrash them like there is no tomorrow, it will make our path to QF a lot easier, i know it's selfish and greedy thinking but so be it, #NoMercy and Feel sorry for you [MENTION=3284]don[/MENTION]nal Cozzie
