2015 World Cup SA v WI Result | South Africa beat West Indies by a massive 257 run margin

[London_Lahori]

Come on Steyn, do show up at this world cup at some point.

 

[Big Mac]

This is pathetic from the Windies, they had no intention of chasing this total at any point. They just want this game to end ASAP

 

[adnan yasin]

super stumping by kock

 

[pak4life]

Still can't get over we only played part time spinners against the windies.

 

[hur rizvi]

RSA are scary team if they play to full potential, much more dangerous than NZ/AUS if they dont choke

 

[Justcrazy]

Sammy gone

 

[Justcrazy]

RSA are scary team if they play to full potential, much more dangerous than NZ/AUS if they dont choke

But they will

 

[hur rizvi]

Man o Man we didnt play YAsir against these hacks

 

[adnan yasin]

what a catch

 

[Justcrazy]

Still can't get over we only played part time spinners against the windies.

Because Pakistan has the best tactical brain ever to be born

[Silverlion]

Man o Man we didnt play YAsir against these hacks

exactly what i was thinking. this is a big question as to why yasir wasnt included?

 

[adnan yasin]

Man o Man we didnt play YAsir against these hacks

i know

Man o Man we didnt play YAsir against these hacks

Tahir is a great ODI bowler but the Windies bottled this from ball one. It's the scoreboard that has defeated them, not the bowlers.

 

[Mamoon]

Kohli hasn't won a knockout either yet people worship at his altar.

As much as you label that an English choke job, his innings was crucial in dragging India from 60-5 to eventually 120 which was a banana skin given the occasion and more importantly, the conditions.

World T20 semifinal vs. South Africa, where he produced a sensational innings to chase down 170. T20 isn't even really his strength. But yes, who cares because it was a T20, and the reason why the the 'best T20 batsman' de Villiers didn't perform was because he did not care about T20s. Lol.

You simply don't want to accept that so far, Kohli has shown more mettle in high pressure knockout games than de Villers, and in fewer opportunities.

 

[desi_launda]

WHat is biggest ever loss?

 

[Buffet]

WI may as well not qualify for QF. Pathetic mindset in this game.

 

[Justcrazy]

63 / 7

This is sad for WI

 

[Buffet]

WHat is biggest ever loss?

I think 390 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

This big Loss of WI is lifeline for Pakistan.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Still need to score 57 runs to avoid this becoming the biggest defeat in one day history...

 

[soso_killer]

Tahir was always going to have a say in this wicket.

 

[desi_launda]

so Pakistan is now certain to qualify

 

[NZcricketfan]

Tahir was always going to have a say in this wicket.

The one bonus about the game at eden park is he won't be as effective. Drop in wicket and small boundaries

 

[NZcricketfan]

so Pakistan is now certain to qualify

Pakistans NRR is -2.2 so not sure

 

[hur rizvi]

The one bonus about the game at eden park is he won't be as effective. Drop in wicket and small boundaries

Leg spinners can be effective even on drop in pitches, if they bowl decent lengths

 

[London_Lahori]

I think 390 runs.

290 I think

 

[JaDed]

Wow WI are reallyy unpredictable and at times boring to watch.

 

[hur rizvi]

so Pakistan is now certain to qualify

WI will have a much better NRR than PAkistan even if they lose this by 250+ runs

 

[JaDed]

I think 390 runs.

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/wi/content/records/283902.html

290

 

[Buffet]

290 I think

yah, I mistyped it.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a phainta!

Come on South Africa! Now just get them all out! And let's hope that WI doesn't win against UAE by a big margin.

 

[desi_launda]

Pakistans NRR is -2.2 so not sure

SA will have to thrash Pakistan

 

[JaDed]

290 I think

right N vs Ireland

[London_Lahori]

What a phainta!

Come on South Africa! Now just get them all out! And let's hope that WI doesn't win against UAE by a big margin.

Doc saab! iA, if we win our next 2 games our NRR should automatically improve anyway. Might even be better then WI's after our game against UAE.

 

[Watsupdoc]

And to think that Pakistan didn't play Yasir Shah against Windies

 

[Watsupdoc]

Doc saab! iA, if we win our next 2 games our NRR should automatically improve anyway. Might even be better then WI's after our game against UAE.

Hopefully, but South Africa needs to do us a favor and get them out quickly here

By the way how the heck did Holder get hit about a 100 runs in only 5 overs?

 

[adnan yasin]

biggest ever defeat is on its way....another world record

 

[Justcrazy]

Can WI get a partnership here?

 

[London_Lahori]

right N vs Ireland
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/wi/content/records/283902.html

Pakistan's defeat against SL is number 9 on that list.

Interestingly, Sohail Khan played that game and Younis Khan opened with Butt batting at number 3.

 

[London_Lahori]

Hopefully, but South Africa needs to do us a favor and get them out quickly here

By the way how the heck did Holder get hit about a 100 runs in only 5 overs?

He bowled 10 overs.

Weird figures, gets 2 wickets, bowls 2 maidens but goes for 104 ) )

 

[OZGOD]

So far the formula for success has been:

1. Win toss
2. Bat first, keep wickets in hand till 30-40th over. Don't worry about RR too much, make sure you have 6+ in hand by 40
3. Score 10+ rpo in the last 10 to score 300+
4. Bowl tight and let chasing team take all the risks to keep up with RR
5. watch chasing team crumble under the pressure

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan's defeat against SL is number 9 on that list.

Interestingly, Sohail Khan played that game and Younis Khan opened with Butt batting at number 3.

Loll and India's is on 7th also against SL the most pathetic match ever for India! Also our lowest score.

 

[IndianWillow]

Five of the fastest ODI hundreds are against WI and Bangladesh now.

 

[Justcrazy]

72 / 7

20 overs

[FanofCricket]

i wish pakistan had played yasir shah against WI.

 

[London_Lahori]

Tahir has a real chance to get a 6fer or 7fer here.

 

[FanofCricket]

if yasir shah had played against WI things could have been different.

 

[Buffet]

So far the formula for success has been:

1. Win toss
2. Bat first, keep wickets in hand till 30-40th over. Don't worry about RR too much, make sure you have 6+ in hand by 40
3. Score 10+ rpo in the last 10 to score 300+
4. Bowl tight and let chasing team take all the risks to keep up with RR
5. watch chasing team crumble under the pressure

Makes it a bit dull to be honest. If a strong batting side wins the toss then game is pretty much getting one sided.

 

[Robert]

RSA are scary team if they play to full potential, much more dangerous than NZ/AUS if they dont choke

There is a gulf opening up between AUS, SA and NZ, and the middle-ranking sides such as IND, ENG, PAK and SL. Those three top teams are getting better and better and leaving the rest behind.

 

[FanofCricket]

WI batsmen falling into pieces against leg spinner.

 

[Justcrazy]

Holder batting well here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why is du plesis bowling.

Get them out!

 

[FanofCricket]

if pakistan don't play yasir shah in remaining matches than they deserve to lose.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why is Faf bowling? Just get them all out

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 35 runs so far.

 

[IndianWillow]

There is a gulf opening up between AUS, SA and NZ, and the middle-ranking sides such as IND, ENG, PAK and SL. Those three top teams are getting better and better and leaving the rest behind.

India with two big wins is now a middle ranking team? Wow!

 

[Big Mac]

Holder batting well here.

No pressure on him and he's treating Tahir like a club bowler, good on him. Shame the Windies batsmen showed about as much courage as our batsmen.

 

[FanofCricket]

plz pakistan include yasir shah in remaining matches otherwise better come home.

 

[Justcrazy]

faf getting bowling practice here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Some dumb captaincy by ABD ( A sore pakistani fan)

Who is this commentator?

As much as you label that an English choke job, his innings was crucial in dragging India from 60-5 to eventually 120 which was a banana skin given the occasion and more importantly, the conditions.

You simply don't want to accept that so far, Kohli has shown more mettle in high pressure knockout games than de Villers, and in fewer opportunities.

He got them to 120 but England were well on course. If England had pulled that off, which they should have, nobody would even mention Kohli. So no, he gave India a chance, but he didn't pull it off on his own.

As for your hit and giggle reference, we're talking ODIs here.

 

[Big Mac]

That's a beauty

 

[Watsupdoc]

Tahir you beauty! What a bowler! Come on take too more now!

 

[hur rizvi]

5-fer for Tahir he is damn good ODI bowler

 

[Saurav]

Doc saab! iA, if we win our next 2 games our NRR should automatically improve anyway. Might even be better then WI's after our game against UAE.

But then you got game v SA

Also WI can smash UAE, more chances than Pak smashing minnows

So still opeb

 

[desi_launda]

tahir is a ODI beast

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Tahir gets a 5fer. West Indies officially our whipping boys.

 

[Strike Rate]

[MENTION=97523]Buffet[/MENTION] can we have Tahir back please? Pakistan need him more at the moment!

 

[hur rizvi]

No review ? that looked quite close

 

[Saurav]

Kohli got a 50 in semis too IIRC

When has AB done even as much in knockouts

 

[hur rizvi]

Was plumb out

 

[adnan yasin]

8 runs remaining for world record with 2 wickets in hand

 

[Watsupdoc]

That was out man

 

[jabarjabar]

There is a gulf opening up between AUS, SA and NZ, and the middle-ranking sides such as IND, ENG, PAK and SL. Those three top teams are getting better and better and leaving the rest behind.

Delusional much? England is in the leagues of WI and Bangladesh.

 

[adnan yasin]

now world record will remain with ireland i guess

 

[Watsupdoc]

What the

Morne Morkel should have taken it.

 

[adnan yasin]

but West indies failed to save the follow on
