England beat South Africa by 2 wickets in a high scoring game

[Markhor]

Jesus, the state of these economy rates.

 

[The_KING]

Too late.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Good innings from Root

 

[marlonbrowndo]

A shame that all the 4 teams that I like are all in a decline.

Pak, SA, WI and?

 

[Syed1]

Oh this could change things

 

[JaDed]

I hope tmrw Indian Pakistani players ask about LBW that it was going down the leg and it goes to third umpire as well.

 

[jog_1]

too little too late

 

[The_KING]

Kyle Abott lost it for S.A

first he dropped the catch and now this bs

So did Faf with his pathetic innings.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Root to Ali: bro just take singles, do tuk tuk, Saffers will choke them selves.

Look at that, Rabada bowls a yorker, it doesn't go for a run or a boundary.

And there goes Root.

Can SA suddenly save this match? Or will the english still motor to victory even with the dangerman gone?

 

[jeetu]

What a match so far.

 

[Syed1]

If he plays the next match I'm boycotting our team.

There's always room on our bandwagon

 

[Pakistani Pace]

I can tell Root really wants England To Win

 

[Markhor]

[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] After all that emphasis on LOI cricket , if this is the best England can come up with then Strauss and co. should be fired ASAP.

The batting's just fine but the two bowling units today need to be shot. Almost a criminal offence not be defending this 200+ score.

 

[MMHS]

10 of 11 - ENG still can manage it

 

[JaDed]

Oh man terrible.

 

[The_KING]

Pak, SA, WI and?

And Sri Lanka

 

[Inswing]

7 required

 

[mudassir84]

Massive boundary

 

[Syed1]

Wow Wow Wow Moeen Ali

 

[Adijazz1706]

Told ya, Moeen does whats needed

 

[The_KING]

Steyn should retire from the shorter formats and focus only test cricket from now on.

Annnnnnnnd, It's gone! Moeen Ali listens to Root and dispatches the ball to the boundary.

 

[JaDed]

In the past its been saddening supporting Saffers from 1999 to 2015 these guys are just not worth it ,argh!!

 

[HitWicket]

ENG has awesome hitting ability - only had they picked 2 specialist bowlers for Jordan & Topley .................. They are almost forced to opt chasing every time, which might be tougher in other grounds.

Expect we'll see Plunkett back next game. Maybe even Dawson if the pitch at Delhi is turning a bit more than here.

 

[Syed1]

its not over yet if they still hold their nerves..

 

[Adil_94]

Rabadas head seems to drop very quickly

Where is ?

 

[The_KING]

So many full tosses. This is the worst bowling performance I've ever seen.

 

[battler]

What a performance from SA lol

 

[JaDed]

terrible just terrible.

 

[Syed1]

opps spoke too soon

 

[Prince_]

Congratulations England. Fantastic display of batting by the English man.

 

[Inswing]

What an incredible chase

 

[Pakistani Pace]

England!

 

[The_KING]

Rabada also seems to be like Steyn in the sense that he is great in tests but nothing special in LOIs.

 

[jog_1]

[MENTION=136729]Suleiman[/MENTION] so are you going to bandwagon back to Pak now?

Seems as if your team has no bowling attack at all

 

[Executioner]

What a performance. Dark horse of this world cup

 

[Adil_94]

Steyn hiding where has the ATG gone.

what a chase !!!

 

[Sherlock]

One of the best chases you'll see in T20 Cricket. Absolutely gob-smacked actually.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Glad to see Saffers losing the plot. Keeping their legacy alive.

[Syed1]

Is this the highest chase in a T20?

 

[Inswing]

Worst bowling performance i have ever seen

 

[Adijazz1706]

Jordan to finish it

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Lol

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Well done england against all odds

 

[Adil_94]

Steyn can't handle it when batsman go after him that's why he isn't a great LOI bowler.

[JaDed]

Why would you go on top for hitting a single.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Is this the highest chase in a T20?

I think Windies did a higher chase against us.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Just a single needed

 

[Bakasura]

Jordan should e kicked out jut for that shot....seriously never seen a dumb guy like that
.

 

[The_KING]

Jordan can't do anything right. Poor player.

edit: Windies against Saffers 236

No... West Indies 236/6 v South Africa 11 Jan 2015

 

[Syed1]

super over anyone?

 

[aniket1911]

Hahaha desperate try to choke by England. )

 

[Bakasura]

Thsi is pathetic from England

 

[Sherlock]

Not so long ago I said Steyn shouldn't play T20s. He's looked awful today and will on;y get worse on these pitches. Then again not every team has a Roy at the top.

 

[Inswing]

Another wicket

Was terrific in T20's for quite some time. Has lost pace. Cant really fault him. He's nearly 33 and has been playing for 12 years.

 

[carrom_ball]

Lol England choking

 

[Bakasura]

Moeen Ali turning out even bigger choker compare to SA

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Omg england?

 

[Sherlock]

What in the blue hell England!

Just chill out for goodness sake.

 

[Suleiman]

If he plays the next match I'm boycotting our team.

He cost us the game, and Rabada with full tosses

What's going on bro. Went to sleep after we made 229. Woke up to this nonsense.

 

[Prince_]

Come on South Africa. 2 more wickets

 

[badsha001]

super over anyone???

 

[JaDed]

You are right that too in JBurg, people talk its hard being a Pakistani supporter but i don't know how you guys support Saffers ,they have always been my second fav team and they never perform well in tournaments except the 1998 Champions Trophy!

 

[aniket1911]

All three results are possible.

 

[Syed1]

England doing some choking of their own

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Lol Moeen

 

[zn426]

OMG HAHA. Can Saffers shock everyone after the choke? English were so used to hitting boundaries they suddenly forgot how to play singles.

Finish it, Saffers, finish it!

 

[The_KING]

That's why he should only play test cricket

yeah corrected that already mate.
