ICC CT 2017 : Group B | South Africa [299/6] beat Sri Lanka [203] by 96 runs

[HinderTheJinder]

Tharanga might be banned for next match due to slow over rate

 

[Justcrazy]

262 . 5

24 balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow game should have been over 15 minutes back. Still 4 overs to go. Captain can't play next match

 

[Zeshan547]

As happened in the last two matches as well, teams are struggling to hit out in the last 10 despite having solid foundations. I wonder is it due to the extra man on the boundary in the last 10.

But this rule has been there for more than an year but in recent bilateral there haven't been any cases like this so it's really strange pattern which has been emerged in these 3 CT matches.

Malinga

 

[Mamoon]

Average innings by Amla. Certainly the least impressive hundred of the tournament so far. Played for his milestone once he got into the 90's.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Where are the Yorker's?

Posting it in every thread so that you get a response. Next thing we know you would be posting about Amla's innings on Pak vs India threads as well.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Useless IPL specialist bowler.

TBH pitch isn't that easy but still by him once he reached 90s which could have hurt any other team

 

[jnaveen1980]

They will cross 300 for sure. But they should have gotten much more than just 300.

 

[Syed1]

Where are the Yorker's?

They are only conceding 5-6 runs an over even without the yorkers. Typical from Saffers beat everyone black and blue in bilaterals but come an ICC tournament and they struggle against even SL.

Desperation have gotten better of wiser men than him. So let him go.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are landing the yorkers perfectly.

Except, you know, the last bilateral or the last time we faced SL in the WC...

Such arrogance doesn't suit to a fan of the biggest choker team on planet earth.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

This score should be good enough for SA to defend unless Rabada n Tahir fail.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Such arrogance doesn't suit to a fan of the biggest choker team on planet earth.

What arrogance? Proving what rubbish his argument is based on?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will they even get to 300? lol

 

[Justcrazy]

six down

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Good throw. Decent innings from Morris.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

He's just supporting his birth country , I think that's pretty normal.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Expecting a wayward over from Malinga

 

[Ozymandiasza]

He's just supporting his birth country , I think that's pretty normal.

Exactly.

They forget the constant insults. Can't take it when you throw it back at them. Cowards.

 

[Zeshan547]

He is making sa look like they have been winning world trophies left right and center.

 

[imshally81]

Discipline bowling by Lankans

 

[Ozymandiasza]

He is making sa look like they have been winning world trophies left right and center.

And you keep insulting my team in almost every post. I would actually consider reporting you for trolling if it wasn't for one or two decent posts.

 

[Zeshan547]

Exactly.

They forget the constant insults. Can't take it when you throw it back at them. Cowards.

Can't even smash past it malinga properly.

 

[Syed1]

Take a single Waleeddddd

 

[dauntless]

We have enough on board 280 is enough for india

 

[Syed1]

Exactly.

They forget the constant insults. Can't take it when you throw it back at them. Cowards.

No insult... Im actually rooting for SA, but this performance is hella disappointing whichever way you look at it.

 

[WC-Passion]

Lanka doing us proud. Put up a good fight so far.

 

[Zeshan547]

Since when calling a spade a spade has become equal to insulting.?

 

[Justcrazy]

285

7 balls left

 

[Markhor]

SL have done well to restrict SA to below 300. SA were in a commanding position earlier.

 

[Zeshan547]

It always good to root for underdog in a neutral match. Even if SL end up losing they have made sure they are no pushovers.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Since when calling a spade a spade has become equal to insulting.?

You've got to be joking. Your contribution to this thread as a whole has been negative. In fact, I think that is your actual intention.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can SA get to 300 here

 

[dauntless]

Srilanka has done well in death overs

 

[Markhor]

Good death bowling. Lovely yorker from Pradeep.

 

[Zeshan547]

That's what a good bowling coach can do, that's one for Waqar fans.

 

[dauntless]

Good finish by JP

 

[hafeezrocks]

Great end to the innings by Duminy.

Target 300

 

[Justcrazy]

Duminy finishes with a bang

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Nice. Well played JP

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow Last 2 balls salvaged something

 

[Justcrazy]

300 runs is the target !

 

[Syed1]

Target might be too much for Lanka against Saffer bowling

 

[Zeshan547]

You've got to be joking. Your contribution to this thread as a whole has been negative. In fact, I think that is your actual intention.

SA have put up a way below par performance than what was expected of them as a better team so how I could throw praise for such a lackluster performance? But still best of luck to SA till finals, it will be mother of all chokes if they somehow reach finals, most likely vs England or Australia.

 

[dauntless]

It's enough for srilanka we are going to win this easily

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Decent bowling from SL though. They did a pretty good job. I also feel SA underachieved a bit there.

 

[hadi123]

SL can win this. They just need a decent start

 

[Ozymandiasza]

There's more than one way to show your support for SL. Constant insults to the opposition team is the lazy way.

You can take your luck and shove it with the attitude of assuming we'll automatically choke in the final (should we reach it).

 

[hafeezrocks]

Stop fighting Yaar. Let's get back to Cricket

 

[Justcrazy]

Morkel and Rabada will be difficult to get away here.

 

[hafeezrocks]

I think SL has a small chance if Dickwella can provide a decent start.

 

[MMHS]

SAF has this one covered by 35 runs

 

[Farhansk]

Come on SRL, you can do it.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

If SL don't lose more than 2 wickets in first 15 overs then it's game on.

Sl batting >>> their bowling

All up to Rabada n Tahir now.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Kagiso is just 22 and is the Num 1 ranked bowler in the format. Wow!

 

[imshally81]

So apparently is ...dick wala vs de cock

 

[big_gamer007]

I don't have much hope in SL batting but I hope they prove me wrong

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Kagiso is just 22 and is the Num 1 ranked bowler in the format. Wow!

Yeah, it's quite amazing. Pollock was talking about advising him and his father that he should play in county cricket to develop his skills. They clearly listened. Good for him, it paid off.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

SL winning it easily.

 

[Rayyman]

I wonder how this pitch is.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Yeah, it's quite amazing. Pollock was talking about advising him and his father that he should play in county cricket to develop his skills. They clearly listened. Good for him, it paid off.

Any other Talented Black bowlers emerging in SA?

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka need to plan this chase well. They have depth is batting

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[Rayyman]

That's a dollie

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

And you keep insulting my team in almost every post. I would actually consider reporting you for trolling if it wasn't for one or two decent posts.

It's his nature to bash everyone though him his team is a minnow now.

 

[Syed1]

Rabada might be 22 but he doesn't look a day older than 18. Amazing talent. Just as I type that out he drops one of his own bowling.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Phehlukwayo has shown some guts with the bat, could make a decent all rounder.

Rabada

 

[Protea Fan]

You can't drop catches like that rabada that too of some one like tharanga's

 

[dauntless]

Good over by kagiso

 

[Rayyman]

Lankans are smart. They are playing out Rabada, so they can score off all of the other mediocre bowlers.

 

[Justcrazy]

10 after 3 overs

 

[dauntless]

Tharanga should utilize the chance he has been given

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Rabada might be 22 but he doesn't look a day older than 18. Amazing talent. Just as I type that out he drops one of his own bowling.

He is one of the most exciting bowlers of current era to watch. Just love him to watch.

Dickwala is looking good.
