England vs South Africa | Group B | Chennai

[Afridi_Fan]

Another run. I fear for South Africa. )

 

[Sledger]

Klusener looking thin these days.

 

[BaaliSoda]

peterson is the best spinner in the world according to ppers logic or afridi fans logic.

TBH, Peterson is still a crap bowler but today he has done a wonderful job for his team with some assistance from Pitch (and English batters)

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Two more.

Okay, no more cheap jokes.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Wow freaky bouncer from Kallis goes for 4 byes or wides

 

[Sledger]

Good commentary by Lance, enjoyable stint so far.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Kallis wants to bat. )

 

[yadunoe]

45 and 31 what a great player

 

[BaaliSoda]

Eng 32 for 3 after 9 overs

 

[Sledger]

32/3.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

But he is better than Afridi, who is getting 4 until every game (until now)

Strategy? Let him bowl at the tail .... He is now our "best" spinner.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

32/3 in 9.

 

[emclub]

Kallis-inspired Toupee XI: Gooch, Crowe, Ponting, Kallis, Matthews, Warne, Bollinger ... Can anyone round out the list?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Strategy? Let him bowl at the tail .... He is now our "best" spinner.

South African best spinner is a myth, not a reality.

 

[emclub]

:rana, Gambhir, Sehwag

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Kallis wants to bat. )

I think he wants to be fed as well.

 

[emclub]

Vaughan

 

[BaaliSoda]

Some innovative field setting by Smith to stop leaking singles for English batters

 

[emclub]

Only Keeper is missing in The Rugg XI

 

[BaaliSoda]

Inside edge saves Trott from a close LBW shout

 

[JustAnotherFan]

South African best spinner is a myth, not a reality.

I hear they practice late at night. It seems to be an obsession for this WC.

 

[Sledger]

33/3 in 10.

 

[BaaliSoda]

33 for 3 after 10 overs for Eng

 

[ace4rmspace]

Botham jinxed Trott!! LOL Made him look like a goof and Lance rubbed it in.

 

[yadunoe]

Trott and bopara are the key,need to bat till 30th over atleast

 

[md_tariq]

South African best spinner is a myth, not a reality.

Is Afridi the best South African spinner?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Just noticed, PP fans's much loved umpire from India Amish saheba standing in this game

Hope he does not make much mistakes today

 

[Sledger]

Kallis basically bowling fast spin (cutters).

 

[yadunoe]

Just noticed, PP fans's much loved umpire from India Amish saheba standing in this game

Hope he does not make much mistakes today

who cares theres always UDRS

 

[Sledger]

Afridi being shown (leading wicket taker).

 

[cricfan967]

Lala's WC bowling stats being shown

 

[BaaliSoda]

Some easy singles given by SA to these english batters now, may be its time for Tahir

36 for 3 after 11 overs

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Is Afridi the best South African spinner?

naan, but they would hire him to give lessons in Celebration ....

 

[Sledger]

Cut for four by .. I mean .. I mean ietersen.. no it's :trott sorry.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

A four.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Is Afridi the best South African spinner?

He doesn't play for England, so probably not.

 

[md_tariq]

naan, but they would hire him to give lessons in Celebration ....

many people here love Afridi's celebration.

 

[nsaviguru]

These commies are yapping about Morkel like this is the first time they have seen him bowl.

 

[Sledger]

Off line, four more.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Light is back, Geo Super has no signal. Go figure.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Another 4 from Morkel over. This time its leg byes

44 for 3 after 12 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

many people here love Afridi's celebration.

Many people here love Afridi. Period.

Corrected.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another four. A recovery?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Imran tahir introduced into the attack

 

[Sledger]

Collingwood waterboy. )

Tahir on.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Why are they bowling Kallis and Morkel, who are giving away runs right now, rather then Peterson and Steyn?

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Hey, hey ... Tahir is here.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Two best leggies in the world cup are both Pakistanis.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Tahir running onto the pitch and saheba warns him gently (Not the official warning yet)

 

[emclub]

South Africa as cosmopolitan as England - Imran Tahir (Pakistan), Francois du Plessis (France, presumably), Hamish Amla (Scotland)

 

[BaaliSoda]

47 for 3 after 13 overs

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Not a bad over by Tahir.

 

[md_tariq]

I like Tahir's bowling. kind of smooth and little bit of like quadir. importantly very consistant in his line and he has got very good control. he has very good googly as well which is good.

 

[Sledger]

3 off. 47/3.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Tahir rushes thru an over ....

 

[pal]

On what broadcast is Lance Klusener commentating? Is it Sky Sports?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 for England.

 

[Sledger]

Edged for four. Bopara looking like a complete hack.. as usual.

 

[BaaliSoda]

South Africa as cosmopolitan as England - Imran Tahir (Pakistan), Francois du Plessis (France, presumably), Hamish Amla (Scotland)

Hashim Amla has his roots with Indian Gujarthi descendant

Meanwhile a boundary for Bopara

England 51 for 3

 

[Afridi_Fan]

51/3 in 14.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Tahir strikes.

 

[ZenBowman]

Tahir really looks an excellent find for SA, rare to find a genuine legspinner these days.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Out!

Asked for review...not out

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Trott asks for review.

 

[cricfan967]

Tahir strikes

Review

looks plumb

 

[Sledger]

Trott gone, lb to Tahir.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Tapir gets his man!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Is that going outside the off stump?

 

[Sledger]

Ball spun a bit.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Missing. Not Out.

 

[cricfan967]

Not out ...

 

[Sledger]

Not out.

 

[ZenBowman]

UDRS proving its worth yet again.

 

[Sledger]

Saheba lol.

 

[emclub]

Amish Saheba....What do you expect? Sh!t Ump

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yes it is not out , so saheba starts with his poor decisions for the game now

 

[Awesome_Username]

Man I love this UDRS.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Missing.Saheba does a harper.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Nope. Udrs saves Trott.

 

[emclub]

UDRS proving its worth yet again.

Tell that to him
