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

[aniket1911]

Will SA reach 300 ?

330+ I think.

 

[czar]

330+ I think.

Kool, expecting an AB special

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should fancy 340 from here.

 

[Junaids]

Hilarious that the commentators for the global feed had no idea who Sir Trevor MacDoughnut was! The British cameramen kept covering him, to no avail!

I'm still chuckling.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Faf Gone

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Anxious start by AB.

 

[Syed1]

Typical failure for AB

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Typical failure for AB

How so?

 

[aniket1911]

how was Ab's form in recently concluded Eng-Sa series? Was he good or continued his IPL performance?

 

[captain crook]

Such a soft dismissal when there was no need for it. AB should be locked in a room and be shown KW's innings yesterday.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

27* South Africa v England Lord's 29 May 2017 ODI # 3874
52 South Africa v England Southampton 27 May 2017 ODI # 3873
45 South Africa v England Leeds 24 May 2017 ODI # 3872

It's AB.

 

[dauntless]

David has to bat sensibly and play till the last over

 

[dauntless]

Pradeep has been impressive today

 

[captain crook]

Pradeep is such an underrated bowler.. He is bowling with some fire on a flat pitch.. good stuff!

 

[KyoOne]

Slip in, good captaincy

 

[dauntless]

He has bowled with good pace and at good length

 

[KyoOne]

Pradeep is such an underrated bowler.. He is bowling with some fire on a flat pitch.. good stuff!

He turns typical Wahab Riaz more often than not!

Has bowled well today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Late acceleration is a struggle so far in this CT especially for new guys.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Pradeep is such a underrated bowler. Unlucky to be playing for Lanka.

Lone warrior.

 

[captain crook]

This match should clear all the doubts regarding who the best South African batsman is. Legendary batsman!

Just go for the hundred now, please!

 

[GreenShirts]

Hilarious that the commentators for the global feed had no idea who Sir Trevor MacDoughnut was! The British cameramen kept covering him, to no avail!

I'm still chuckling.

Why would they know who he is?Do you know Shahzeb Khanzada?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Amla on 90 off 95 balls

 

[captain crook]

Why would they know who he is?Do you know Shahzeb Khanzada?

An advice for you. Don't argue with a fool. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

That's Okaish by his usual standards given England have a crap bowling unit. Hope he comes into form soon.

Why are you watching this? Aren't you supposed to watch the old 1900 tapes of test cricket at this time?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pradeep very economical so far.Bowled pretty well today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka need quick wickets here

 

[Arham_PakFan]

220-3 after 39.3

 

[Arham_PakFan]

SA will make about 300

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good over by Malinga,2 off it.

221-3 after 40

 

[captain crook]

Sri Lanka bowling extremely well here. I felt they were the easiest in our group but hello, they look up for it..

 

[Zeshan547]

Tendulkar would be proud of how brother Hashim approaching his hundred,

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh was 223/2 by 40th over. SA 223/3 by 40th over . Tamim had to cop so much criticism. This is against a rubbish bowling attack.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

 

[HinderTheJinder]

SA have slowed down massively

 

[dauntless]

Yeah 25th century for the legend

 

[Justcrazy]

Amla gets to his 25th Hundred.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a pathetic approach towards his 100. Now another wicket gone.

 

[dauntless]

We have to score 325 at least

 

[Boi]

South Africa gonna struggle to get 300 now unless Amla gets a move on

 

[jnaveen1980]

They were on course to 350. Now not possible.

 

[dauntless]

Chris Morris would have been perfect in this situation

 

[Junaids]

Why are you watching this? Aren't you supposed to watch the old 1900 tapes of test cricket at this time?

I can't play VHS tapes on my gramophone.

I'm watching because I'm fairly convinced that in the next four or five matches a wicket is going to fall.

 

[Justcrazy]

four down

 

[Zeshan547]

This can be a match losing hundred if sa don't finish with 310 plus. Very strange pattern is emerging even good teams are finishing extraordinarily poor in last ten overs without any major reason, so strange.

 

[Justcrazy]

I can't play VHS tapes on my gramophone.

Matches or overs ?

 

[Ozymandiasza]

What a pathetic approach towards his 100. Now another wicket gone.

Then please don't watch.

 

[Junaids]

Matches or overs ?

Matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

280 is enough for lanka .

 

[captain crook]

Pradeep and Lakmal have shown that good intensity will bring you wickets. Cricket does not always need to be played on green wickets to assist the seamers, they should also need to learn to bowl well.

 

[Poison]

Pitch I think is a lot slower than Amla is making it look.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Amla gone as well.SA in huge trouble

 

[captain crook]

Matches.

5 wickets now in the same match. Stay happy in peace man.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA chokes even when the bat first lol

 

[Boi]

Aleem's Dar not wasting time with SL behind in the over rate aswell

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Poor approach by Amla towards his century.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Choking early!

 

[Justcrazy]

Amla run out

Quick wickets for lanka here.

 

[captain crook]

Finally brings Morris into the crease. Much needed boost RSA requires..

 

[Zeshan547]

SA chokes even when the bat first lol

Man you stole my line.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They pointlessly slowed down around 39th over. They are stuck.

 

[Zeshan547]

Finally brings Morris into the crease. Much needed boost RSA requires..

Oh the mighty Morris who couldn't even make 6 of 6 in last over vs England.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wristy player like AMla should have had no problem picking singles at will for a sustained period. He was being ultra cautious to get to his 100

 

[captain crook]

Oh the mighty Morris who couldn't even make 6 of 6 in last over vs England.

Immediately scores a

Chasing requires different skills. Morris is good when batting first..

 

[jnaveen1980]

1st boundary in 9 overs. unbelievable

 

[captain crook]

Wristy player like AMla should have had no problem picking singles at will for a sustained period. He was being ultra cautious to get to his 100

Not really. The pitch isn't conducive for stroke making. If Amla struggled, there's no hope for others.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

When did he attempt to play stroke to know that it was not conducive to stroke play. He never attempted for a long period. He didn't try to rotate strike

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Morris will fail as well.He can't bat against quality bowling.This is not IPL

 

[Zeshan547]

Chasing requires different skills. Morris is good when batting first..

So typical South African?

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is not quality bowling lol Just the stage is big. Nothing else. Bowling quality is rubbish.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Morris will fail as well.He can't bat against quality bowling.This is not IPL

See #148.

 

[Justcrazy]

244 / 5

6 overs left.

 

[jnaveen1980]

ABDV should have taken some time. Also 5 fielders outside the circle restrict them.

 

[Zeshan547]

See #148.

We shall see.

 

[Justcrazy]

45 more required to get to 300

 

[jnaveen1980]

Morris is a gun lower order hitter. If he clicks he can score like 50 runs in 3 overs

 

[Syed1]

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.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rubbish premeditated batting by Duminy
