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

[Point Black]

Shot.

 

[Saurav]

No Rossouw is not an opening bat and should never open again.
He is vulnerable against the new ball.

He got a ton opening in game where AB got fastest ton, no?

 

[Justcrazy]

SA still can easily get 360 here.

 

[adnan yasin]

 

[Justcrazy]

323 / 4

42 balls left

 

[Fire Bird]

Why do the Irish look like they just rolled out of a pub

 

[Point Black]

Because Irish love a good drink.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA should win by at least 100 runs here.

SA still can easily get 360 here.

You mean 420, dont you?

 

[soso_killer]

Umpires have been poor today, I heard the willow twice today. (QdK and Miller)

 

[Watsupdoc]

tuk tuk Miller

 

[adnan yasin]

They can still score 50 runs in 4 overs

[hur rizvi]

Irish already looking down and out. Glad tidings for Zimbabwe and Pakistan.

They just need to make sure their NRR stays OK, this is not a must win for them

 

[Point Black]

Shot

 

[adnan yasin]

Rossow slipped for the second time in quick succession

 

[Fire Bird]

What a rubbish batting would have scored 400 by now

 

[soso_killer]

He got a ton opening in game where AB got fastest ton, no?

Also got multiple ducks

 

[adnan yasin]

Opportunity missed by miller...that should have been a boundary

 

[adnan yasin]

Just 10 of the over

 

[Bilal7]

Get to 400, come on!!!

 

[adnan yasin]

De kock should not worry and wait for Pakistan match to get in form

 

[jattafridi]

Chokers can't play spin

 

[Bilal7]

They just need to make sure their NRR stays OK, this is not a must win for them

Their body language is what I was talking about. They seem to have started doubting themselves.

 

[hur rizvi]

poor batting

 

[adnan yasin]

by rossow

straight hit

 

[adnan yasin]

on to the pads just guided pass short fine leg

 

[adnan yasin]

oh..full toss on middle leg.... why reverse sweep

it would have been six over mid wicket

 

[hur rizvi]

Their body language is what I was talking about. They seem to have started doubting themselves.

Bowling is their weakness, have to see how they bat against a good SA attack

 

[adnan yasin]

good shot by miller

 

[adnan yasin]

over extra cover now by miller

 

[Fire Bird]

Chokers can't play spin

Yeah what a rubbish team. Choking on their way to 400

 

[hur rizvi]

8 balls to get 20

 

[adnan yasin]

20 runs needed in 8 balls

 

[jattafridi]

Miller trying to copy abcd )

 

[Bilal7]

Yes, 400 is on. Now just dismiss the Irish for under 200, please.

 

[adnan yasin]

Yeah that should have been a no ball .. he was way deep in to the crease and still it was very high

 

[adnan yasin]

50 (27) by rossow

 

[Random Aussie]

They are only going to get 400? Pfft

 

[adnan yasin]

13 needed of last over

 

[soso_killer]

Rossouw is hitting it clean, hou op die ramp shots though

 

[jattafridi]

What a shot

 

[adnan yasin]

pathetic delivery...not full enough...just there to be hit

 

[jattafridi]

400

 

[soso_killer]

They are only going to get 400? Pfft

"Only" just "only"

 

[adnan yasin]

and there is 400

 

[adnan yasin]

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Combine the worst pace bowling unit with the best batting and this is what happens,

Send Max home, he is just totally useless vs non Associate teams

 

[adnan yasin]

Rossow 61(30)

Miller 46 (23)

last overs 11 runs came of the edge

 

[adnan yasin]

412 to win

 

[Watsupdoc]

Amazing batting from South Africa. Now please smash the Irish with the ball.

[FanofCricket]

SAF absolutely demolished Ireland

 

[FanofCricket]

Ireland death bowling was all over the place.

 

[FanofCricket]

what a talent rossow is with the bat

 

[adnan yasin]

95 runs conceded by Kevin o Brien in 7 overs

 

[Fire Bird]

I'm not impressed its just 400. Was expecting more from but he choked as usual. Cant even score 500 on this wicket

 

[adnan yasin]

what a talent rossow is with the bat

He is really good ... Amazing talent

 

[FanofCricket]

clean hitting by rossow and miller today.

 

[adnan yasin]

I'm not impressed its just 400. Was expecting more from but he choked as usual. Cant even score 500 on this wicket

yeah they just scored 131 runs 10 overs... that is 30 runs short by their standards .. poor batting

 

[FanofCricket]

95 runs conceded by Kevin o Brien in 7 overs

he's absolutely smashed.

 

[Saurav]

Amazing batting from South Africa. Now please smash the Irish with the ball.

Things falling in place for Pakistan

As I said, 92 again

 

[FanofCricket]

Lets see wether irish struggles against imaran tahir too.

 

[FanofCricket]

SAF first team to score consecutive 400.

 

[soso_killer]

How should Ireland approach this?
Should they bat with the NRR in mind and look to bat through 50 overs?
Or should they go for it and run the risk of losing by 200-150 runs thus messing with their NRR?

 

[jattafridi]

They should score 300 flat pitch

If they are sensible go for first obviously. Even India Australia can't chase 400

But even if they get 300 it will still be massive dent in NRR

 

[Watsupdoc]

Things falling in place for Pakistan

As I said, 92 again

But there was no Ireland in 92

 

[FanofCricket]

SAF came back really strong after defeat against IND.

 

[FanofCricket]

But there was no Ireland in 92

that was good.

 

[Slog]

Things falling in place for Pakistan

As I said, 92 again

Now we just need England to pick up form and join us for the eventual final

on a serious not. Do you think India has the potential to slip up against Zimbos or Ireland. Irelands bowling looks very weak so I expect Rohit to have a good day but zimbabwe have a few tricks

the game is already gone from irish's hands.They should play for NRR.

 

[FanofCricket]

Just superb batting by SAF.Really enjoyable to watch.

 

[IndianWillow]

Luckily for Ireland, AB got out. SA fell 30 runs short.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ireland have a good chance to chase against these trundlers : Says

 

[Slog]

thats what ppl said 4 yrs ago when england scored 300+ against them

Saffer bowlers are totally out of form. If Ireland play the delivery and dont look at who the bowler is I expect them to put up a fight.

I think Tahir will blow them away though. They struggle agains spin and he is in form

 

[FanofCricket]

Ireland have a good chance to chase against these trundlers : Says

In his dream perhaps.

How does that even matter now. Irish NRR will be really poor now. So all Pak need to do is smash UAE, bear Ireland and avoid big loss v SA. Very much possible
