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

[FanofCricket]

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

Yes tahir will be important,steyn is out of form.Irish can look to attack 5th bowler which is behardien.

 

[Slog]

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

it will be poor but in relative terms it will be as bad as ours. So not much difference now

After blowout losses to India and WI and a close win agains zimbos our NRR is very poor right now

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Aussie pitches have been really bad though. Yes our bowling sucks but their is absolutely zero assistance for the bowlers

 

[adnan yasin]

he's absolutely smashed.

Yeah ... and he came to bowl the final over ... though out of 24 runs in the last over.. 11 came of the edge.... it was surely not his day today

May be he can contribute with the bat against 5th bowler behardien.

 

[Fire Bird]

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

I agree. What a great analyst the Prof is turning out to be. Channel 9 should fire Chappell and Benaud and give him a commentary spot already.

 

[Saurav]

You got a game v UAE. That should improve NRR a lot

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL just kidding yaar

didn't say it. I was just kidding how can hafeez call steyn a trundler

 

[FanofCricket]

Do you really think we can improve NRR against UAE.

 

[adnan yasin]

If SA restricted them to 200 then Ireland NRR will be -1.2 and at 250 they will be at -.82

 

[Saurav]

Do you really think we can improve NRR against UAE.

Ofcourse.Need to bowl first though

 

[FanofCricket]

If SA restricted them to 200 then Ireland NRR will be -1.2 and at 250 they will be at -.82

What about 150 like WI?

 

[Fire Bird]

LOL just kidding yaar

didn't say it. I was just kidding how can hafeez call steyn a trundler

Steyn is a trundler smashed him in the t20 for a quick 50. Batted like

 

[adnan yasin]

u dont drop the catch of AMLA early on

 

[FanofCricket]

Ofcourse.Need to bowl first though

I think for getting a big score one of our top 3 must get a hundred.But they are always in hurry to throw their wickets away after getting 20s or 30s or even under 10.

 

[Point Black]

Disgraceful pitches.

 

[adnan yasin]

2nd innings about to begin

 

[#GreenRoars]

e:

 

[#GreenRoars]

classy shot by porterfield

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ireland need a quick start

 

[Enforcer]

Irish team should go for the kill. They have nothing to lose, this pitch is super flat.

 

[leatherface58]

Disgraceful pitches.

True. Not a tense game to be found.

Saffers got exposed while chasing against India. On these pitches against minnow attacks, anybody can get 300+. Saffers are good enough to go one up.

 

[#GreenRoars]

close lbw shout

 

[#GreenRoars]

that was out but no review

 

[#GreenRoars]

ireland go for kill,
striling needs to show his quick batting

 

[Zeshan547]

Steyn is bowling worse than sohail khan these days is he just out of form or really finshed? Don't even look like taking a wicket.

 

[Enforcer]

:4

 

[#GreenRoars]

come on steyn review it,
it is out

 

[Point Black]

True. Not a tense game to be found.

Exactly, they are a good side, but this is pathetic.

 

[soso_killer]

Where is this lampoon of an umpire from?

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[jattafridi]

Review that's

Stupid umpire )

 

[Enforcer]

Steyn is bowling worse than sohail khan these days is he just out of form or really finshed? Don't even look like taking a wicket.

Talk nah!

 

[Zeshan547]

Is the umpire really deaf and blind? What a joke ICC has become.

 

[jattafridi]

Good come back from steyn

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Just bat the 50 overs fellas

 

[#GreenRoars]

porterfiled is on mission e:

 

[iHammad]

So that Porterfield lbw shout only cost 5 runs

 

[Donal Cozzie]

typical of porterfield. The one time he looks good he spoons an awful ball to a fielder.

QF chances gonna take a beating here, NRR will plummet

 

[Donal Cozzie]

got up at 3 for this

 

[Strike Rate]

got up at 3 for this

feel sorry for you buddy but please don't come up with your best performance against Pak

 

[Justcrazy]

SA doing Pakistan a favour

 

[Fire Bird]

Looks like Sa will win this by 350 runs. Pak fans must be happy with the NRR situation

 

[Laal]

The wicket taking competition between Steyn and Abbott is a sight to see. Awesome stuff.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Pakistan stop SA ?

 

[Strike Rate]

Looks like Sa will win this by 350 runs. Pak fans must be happy with the NRR situation

Ireland might be saving their best for match against Pakistan if they win NRR is not even a question

 

[Firebreaker]

Pakistan can never win on their own I hope we beat them tomorrow somehow or rain comes to the rescue

 

[#GreenRoars]

feel sorry for you buddy but please don't come up with your best performance against Pak

This time,
No Chance For ireland inshAllah

 

[#GreenRoars]

Pakistan can never win on their own I hope we beat them tomorrow somehow or rain comes to the rescue

Tomorrow is with UAE
and dont worry we won't need rain for ireland or uae.
trust me on that

 

[Strike Rate]

This time,
No Chance For ireland inshAllah

but we are fond of giving chances and that will be the last group match IIRC

 

[Saurav]

got up at 3 for this

Feel sad for you, but it was always gonna happen

 

[Fire Bird]

got up at 3 for this

I hear ya buddy. Its really frustrating when it happens.

 

[Strike Rate]

Feel sad for you, but it was always gonna happen

but he still had hope and thats what matters in the end! hope no matter how bad the situation

 

[Point Black]

What shot.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Nah I never had hope, i just expected us to bat well enough to post a respectable score around 250.

That looks unlikely. Tahir will tear us up

 

[Fire Bird]

Ireland might be saving their best for match against Pakistan if they win NRR is not even a question

Pak should be able to beat Ire. They tend to struggle against good bowling.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ireland needs to bat out 50 overs

 

[Strike Rate]

Pak should be able to beat Ire. They tend to struggle against good bowling.

we need to play the extra spinner yasir they did struggle even against UAE part time spin

 

[#GreenRoars]

but he still had hope and thats what matters in the end! hope no matter how bad the situation

like WE TWO, always hope for the best .
deep down we know that it is impossible for team,
but still hoping against hope that team will Rise out of this Fall

 

[Strike Rate]

you guys do struggle against spin i have noticed in UAE match

 

[Strike Rate]

like WE TWO, always hope for the best .
deep down we know that it is impossible for team,
but still hoping against hope that team will Rise out of this Fall

some day we will!

 

[Justcrazy]

Good shot.

 

[Strike Rate]

If SA restrict Ireland to 175 or below Pakistan will have a better run rate then Ireland.

 

[Aman]

If SA restrict Ireland to 175 or below Pakistan will have a better run rate then Ireland.

Pakistan still have to play SA, with the form both teams are in, you can probably count out qualifying on NRR now.

Pakistan also have to play UAE tomorrow so we can balance the NRR if we get a phainta by SA

not 1 irish man wants to play the big 3, we want tests vs the lower teams

 

[Justcrazy]

Good hit

 

[Saurav]

Irish are commmiting suicide as far as qualifying

 

[Aman]

These games in Aus are horse ****.

Win the toss and bat the opposition out of the game.

You have to be a really strong, composed side to chase it down or you're going to get absolutely crushed.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Moronic by Niall. Absolutely moronic.

We need to get to 200. I dont care if it takes 50 overs, just limit the NRR.

Playing like a t20 vs SA is totally stupid

 

[Justcrazy]

four down.

 

[iafzal]

WOW could be the most one sided win of the WC history if this massacre continues.

 

[adnan yasin]

DE kock almost made a mess of that opportunity

 

[Zeshan547]

SA run rate will sky rocket at the end of this match.

 

[Bilal7]

Great stuff between De Kock and Amla there.

The Saffers have recovered well from that mauling at the hands of India. Which sucks for us.

 

[Justcrazy]

47 / 4

10 overs

Pity the Irish didn't bat first then, they could have batted SA out of the match.
