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

[Mamoon]

Well played, De Kock! What an innings, thoroughly enjoyable.

Rashid and Moeen should start playing for Pakistan and ditch a rubbish team like England.

Rashid won't make the team in any format; Moeen can replace Imad for sure.

 

[JaDed]

Amla can't play deliveries coming into him but these English bowlers are so useless its annoying to see.

 

[Adil_94]

Does it really matter?

SA could bat poorly from here and still put up a very good total.

stranger things have happened. but it looks unlikely.

ENG, I think can chase 200-210 here, they also has one of the most explosive & lengthy batting, but probably they 'll chase more than 225 ...........

 

[JaDed]

Puts Joe root performance day before into perspective,he was slow as expected from an English batsman.

 

[mosh101]

Amla is such a treat to watch

 

[Lurker_Ind]

AB AB AB......

Lets see what he does today.

 

[Bilal7]

England should just get on the plane after the South African innings is over. No way they can chase 200+.

 

[mosh101]

Can we get an AB special too?

 

[Syed1]

I want this kind of start from Sharjeel tomorrow

 

[carrom_ball]

Lol crowd chanting abdv , too easy to please Indian crowds

Not sure how you work that one out. The bowling has been very poor in these first 7.

AB is a rockishtar in India.

First ICC tournament hundred against a Test playing nation for Amla on the cards here.

It took 7 years and 6 tournaments, but he can finally get there.

Rashid is good in T20s but yeah, we already have Afridi so he might not make it. Moeen won't make the test team.

 

[Syed1]

100 in 8 overs is it a world record?

 

[dauntless]

England can chase 185 here

Windies bowling isn't that great either i was talking about flat pitch and small ground.

 

[Strike Rate]

100 up in 8 overs so how much SA should score in remaining 72 balls and 9 wickets? 130 at least with this start

 

[JaDed]

It would be awesome if ABD gets a decision against him might put some life into the match

 

[Bilal7]

What's the highest T20 innings score ever? 230 something by Sri lanka, right?

 

[dauntless]

Ab in the house yesssss

 

[Strike Rate]

nope i think u forgot Nether land chased down 190 against Ireland in less than 14 overs.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Wow, nice start. Only able to start watching now :/

 

[Adil_94]

Rashid gives too many garbage balls away. one freebie every over u can't do that at this level. the way the English media hype him it's like he's the second coming of Warne

poor shot by AB he just got too carried away there. He has some Afridiesque tendencies at times.

Better pitches in the 'traditional centres'.

Manohar and Anurag Thakur have ruined it by including Nagpur and Dharamsala.

[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.

AB Gone

 

[Adil_94]

seen this too many times when AB is batting like a dream then throws it away. no need for that shot.

250-odd I think. And goes

Both Moeen and Rashid look awful for long periods of time but somehow, manage to take wickets regularly.

hahaha bro that was an average ball. it was garbage decision making from AB

Also, the ground size is small. Both Wankhade & Bangalore grounds are smallest in IND (probably in world after Kiwi grounds).

Wow. That won't be broken anytime soon.

They've been pretty okay.

Amla gets a somehow he doesn't look that great in T20is moves so much.

So long as England can bat 5 days in Perth, no one will care.

Amla is still in the mood.

I wouldn't count on that. Steyn mat not take wickets but it won't be easy to hit him.

Highest team totals in T20 Internationals.

Sri Lanka 260/6
Australia 248/6
South Africa241/6

3 consecutive fifties by Amla and all have been great to watch. Finally learnt the pace of the T20 game.

Ab if he comes in after a great start tries to go for more than is needed a normal innings of 50 of 30 balls would have sufficed. Had no need to go for such shots

If England lose this too, are they officially out?

Haven't seen Group A table yet.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Also, the ground size is small. Both Wankhade & Bangalore grounds are smallest in IND (probably in world after Kiwi grounds).

They are the best wickets for fast bowlers in Tests though. Bowlers generally have better Records here in the last 15 years.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Ali to Amla, SIX, tossed up, nice and juicy - and hoicked over deep square leg by the merciless Hash! He's not going to take it easy on his bearded confrere anymore, and that's his fifty, from 25 balls

 

[Zahid87]

Amla looking for an IPL contract

 

[Syed1]

Which team, England?

Don't think it's 100% but it's nearly guaranteed.

 

[MMHS]

If ENG can restrict SAF for 200-210 somehow, it's game on.

 

[carrom_ball]

Which team, England?

South Africa of course, watch his strike rate in the death overs

Yes, exactly. He's already such an energetic character and that blistering start would have pushed the adrenaline to peak levels.

 

[JaDed]

4 of the top 10 totals in T20 have come against England why do they even play this format coz 2010WC?

 

[Syed1]

Yes signs are they will lose this with a goodish margin and the lost against the Windies pretty badly.

They would have to absolutely wallop both Lanka and Afghanistan to even stand a chance

 

[JaDed]

Officially may be nope but considering Windies and Saffers won't lose to Afghans hope the answer is clear.

C'mon #, get a century.

Amla goes trying to do same thing over and over again.
