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

[Donal Cozzie]

Well a records a record.

May as well go for the record loss. Sorry Bermuda

 

[Aman]

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

There's a massive difference in quality, they would have definitely fared better batting first though.

 

[Justcrazy]

poor batting by ireland

 

[adnan yasin]

Why the umpire look scared while giving that lbw decision.... he is not raising his finger against sachin tendulkar in mumbai

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why KO brien comes at number 7

Idiotic really.

 

[IndianWillow]

Just imagine if Ireland get test status.

De Kock run out 186
Amla run out 257
Duplesis not out 356
ABDV retired 438
Duminy not out 134

extras 22w 12lb 16nb

SA 2 for 1423 declared

At the end of day one?

 

[Justcrazy]

Ireland making a mistake , they need to bat out remaining overs.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Come on boy, we need a partnership here. Need a Kevin O century.

 

[adnan yasin]

SA once again have the opportunity to win a match with a record margin

 

[zabalestmsm]

Kevin O'Brien must go for the kill! Useless to hang around defensively and then give it away cheaply!

 

[ritzy_123]

by looking at this I don't know what SAFFERS will do to Pakistan

 

[desi_launda]

Good decision by ICC to restrict world cup to 10 teams

 

[Justcrazy]

51 / 5

12 overs

 

[Fire Bird]

Kevin OBrien should show his paddy power

 

[zabalestmsm]

Tuk Tuk Kevin O'Brien lol... 0 (11)

 

[Fire Bird]

Kevin O'Brien must go for the kill! Useless to hang around defensively and then give it away cheaply!

He should bat like Afridi. Saffers will choke on th face of onslaught

 

[Justcrazy]

Styen back , looking for the kill

 

[IndianWillow]

300 run win?

 

[Zeshan547]

I guess David Richardson would be jumping like monkey with joy or doing gangam style after this Irish thrashing.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ireland need to reduce the margin of defeat here

 

[adnan yasin]

54-5 in 13.2 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

by looking at this I don't know what SAFFERS will do to Pakistan

It depends whether they bat second or first

 

[hur rizvi]

Interested to see how they play Tahir

 

[Fire Bird]

Ireland playing for a draw here

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hope S.A win this by huge margin so that Irelands run rate takes a massive nose dive!

 

[Justcrazy]

61 / 5


15 overs

 

[Donal Cozzie]

If Behardies of all people runs through us I'm done

 

[soso_killer]

Feel sorry for Ireland, they don't deserve this, hope it won't dent their confidence going forward.
I wish they played India and Pakistan 1st when they still had their enthusiasm. They looked sapped in the field today.
I hope they don't go to the India game with that mentality "oh my god another 00 is on the cards", just play your carefree cricket.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Imran Tahir is an impressive aggressive limited overs cricket spinner!

Dont mean to take anything away but the toss screwed us over.

Had we batted first we still would've lost but I think we'd have posted something close to 250. Pitch is easier to bat on first IMO.

But 2nd under lights chasing 400 was always gonna be impossible.

Really dislike Aussie pitches. Just total pancakes, bat first and then the scoreboard pressure takes care of the chasing team.

 

[hur rizvi]

They are playing tahir decently

 

[Justcrazy]

72.5

17 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

O Brien

 

[hur rizvi]

Ireland should try to reach 300, still there NRR would be much better than Pakistan

 

[soso_killer]

This is poor captaincy by AB allowing the game to drift.
Yeah sure you want Berhadien to et some overs in but you can't allow easy singles either.
Were are the slips as well?

Are you suggesting that the pitch has something to do with the wickets the Irish have lost so far, I'm really interested to hear this explanation.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Kevin O'Brien is hesitant to play shots!

 

[soso_killer]

I get it that we are trying to give these guys a bowl but set an aggressive field. You cant allow easy singles.
And Tahir is an attacking bowler anyhow

 

[akamaka]

SA needs to finish this.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Wilson was out plumb to a good ball. Joyce and Stirlo also got decent balls.

Porterfield and Niall got out trying ti be aggressive.

Under lights the ball will do a bit more but look at the trends in Aus mate, bat first, post 300 plus, win by 100 or more runs. IIRC only Ireland against the UAE have chased in Australia so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

91.5

21 overs

 

[Strike Rate]

ABD following Misbah defensive tactics why he want to take this match to 50th over

 

[JibranAnsari]

ABD probably guaging his bowling options.

 

[Sam18696]

AB giving everyone a chance to bowl Faf on now.

 

[soso_killer]

I don't understand this field placing, especially defending 400

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL pakistanis would not have cared if this match didnt affect pakistan [MENTION=135445]Strike Rate[/MENTION]

 

[Strike Rate]

LOL pakistanis would not have cared if this match didnt affect pakistan [MENTION=135445]Strike Rate[/MENTION]

i actually find ABD captaincy really poor he is a great player but captaincy wise he is same as Misbah

 

[Donal Cozzie]

[MENTION=132982]soso_killer[/MENTION] can you tell AB to bowl De Kock and Amla next please

If I was Pakistani I'd be annoyed, Steyn and Co. would have finished us by now

 

[Jo_Don]

ABD following Misbah defensive tactics why he want to take this match to 50th over

Experimenting with the 5th bowler role, because that is the only thing keeping Behardien in the team. If Rossouw and Faf can do a job with the ball, then JP will come in for Behardien and they can split the 5th bowler between these 3.

 

[hur rizvi]

SA giving easy passage to Ireland

 

[hamzie]

yaar out karo
getting too tense

 

[Sam18696]

Finally Morkel on.

 

[soso_killer]

What other factors influence selection is Mark Nicholas referring to?
He's always had a run away mouth.

 

[JamalAfridi]

AB bowling Behardeen, Roussou and Faf Du plessis.

Give ball to Amla and himself. Maybe bring De Kock for a few overS?

 

[JibranAnsari]

ireland should try to score 200 plus at least.

 

[Gilly]

Sorry mate but that's just a weak excuse, Ireland don't have one player that would make the SA second team. What you need to do is to accept that SA are far too powerful for Ireland and realise when they play in the big games you cant hide behind these type of excuses.

Behardien in for his bowling?

TBH Mclaren should have been here and SA side have been almost complete but they didnt selected him

He is experimenting for someone to help Berhadien/JP with their allocated 10 overs.
I don't mind that, but the field placings defending 400 have been appalling

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Agree with you, Ireland are totally outclassed and there's no shame in that as long as we fight.

But we havent been helped by the surface, which has aggravated our already poor bowling

 

[Saurav]

Bermuda record stays

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dil ke armaan aansuon mein beh gaye

Ireland are easily going to get 275

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Bermuda record stays

Balbirnie

Looks a fine talent, but why throw it away like that?? Mooney can hold a bat, but after that we've nothing

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Need to score another 120 runs boys

He should bat at one down, his talent is being wasted.

[adnan yasin]

Ireland will manage to keep their NRR to -1 something

 

[Watsupdoc]

De Villiers gets a wicket )

What can this man not do?!

 

[NeVerMind]

De Villiers gets a wicket )

What can this man not do?!

He should keep while he is bowling himself. Bet he will take a catch as well by the way he is going these days!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Come on bring on Steyn, Morkel or Abott

 

[adnan yasin]

he can bowl bouncers too

 

[adnan yasin]

even umpire was smiling when he saw AB bowled a bouncer

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ireland should hit 50 in the PP overs.

 

[soso_killer]

TBH Mclaren should have been here and SA side have been almost complete but they didnt selected him

He himself I rubbish and his batting not strong enough either. Was horrible in his tour of Australia last year and could not even man up with the bat. Got himself injured in fact.

 

[soso_killer]

De Villiers gets a wicket )

What can this man not do?!

Can't captain, that's what.

 

[FanofCricket]

steyn bowled very well today.Abbot was good again.

 

[FanofCricket]

abbot bowling excellent line to dockrell.

 

[FanofCricket]

tried a yorker but full toss.
