Guys don't believe [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] ! I just took a picture of him watching the Champions Trophy game between India and SA:

Good one, don't think his reaction is right when India doing well. May be worried look would have been more convincing though LOL.

 

[Sunzi]

Did say 200 would be difficult.

 

[Madplayer]

His bias for PCT still takes the cake,He must be among the few Indians to hate Sachin.

Thats just a cover up i think. Sometimes his real feelings ooze out lol

 

[captain crook]

India seems to have found a really good formula for modern ODI's:

Steady openers
Explosive middle-order
Lower middle-order which can bat
Accurate trundlers to bowl

It shows just how far Test and ODI cricket have become separated. A bowling attack which would go for 600+ at this ground in a Test can keep the score down low enough for the batsmen to pick it off with ease.

The handicaps which are liabilities in one format are actually positive attributes in another.

Rile 'em up like there's no tomorrow. Kudos to you sir..

 

[Junaids]

watching bumrah closely for the first time ..hhis action loooks dodgy..

First time I've ever watched him bowl.

He's not a chucker - the problem is the clownlike rotation of his arm, but it's fully extended while he does it.

He's clean, but he's rubbish.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

I like the dhoni attitude.. He always guide the kholi... Can Malik n M hafeez do the same?

Dhoni is the greatest leader I have seen.. And I have been watching cricket since mid 80s

 

[roshanrocks]

Duminy is the last hope for South Africa...

Spot on.

 

[Shafi]

With this attitude South Africa should not play any ICC event. South Africa badly needs a psychologist rather than any coaching staffs

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Another wicket.

The next change might as well be someone's grandma and i will expect her to pick a wicket against these chokers.

He will be a Sir Sohail Tanvir like bowler.

 

[roshanrocks]

TWO in TWO

:

 

[dhurandharj]

9 down!!

An Indian Trundler on a Hatrick..

England too. A bowling attack which got smashed for 700+ in tests when in India is actually restricting Australia to less than 300 in this CT. Your trundlers are accurate enough for ODIs I guess.

 

[Madplayer]

Another wicket. Shameful.

 

[MMHS]

40 over's target.

 

[Haripotter]

A perfect answer to all those who raised fingers on Indian bowling during the srilanka match.

 

[JaDed]

The pitch is double faced.

 

[captain crook]

Shameful batting against ordinary bowling. South Africa deserve to go out.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

They look unlikely to score 200 at this rate.

 

[Executioner]

from 110-1 to 190 odd for 9 on a flat wicket.

Just SA things

 

[roshanrocks]

Bhoooom Bhooom Bhoovi :

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Bhuvneshwar on hat trick

 

[Mlscicfan]

Pressure makes do silly things for No. 1 ODI side.

 

[Hamza_]

Not even able to score 200. #1 ODI Team

 

[Madplayer]

Rashid ka Tahir aa gaya

 

[Sadevdesai]

Indians on the Warpath !!!!

 

[GOAT999]

The only wicket in the whole match that did not look rigged.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Whatever... he is effectivel and that is what matters

 

[roshanrocks]

Tahir survives hattrick...

 

[roshanrocks]

Horrible ball :

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It requires a Pakistani to avert the hat trick.

 

[captain crook]

He's clean, but he's rubbish.

Can you please start a thread where we can discuss his bowling action and your analysis please?!

 

[Zerotohero]

Shameful batting against ordinary bowling. South Africa deserve to go out.

Ya that is what whole world cricket faternity felt after pak sa match

 

[Madplayer]

Sa looking good to get to 200 and get that mental advantage.

 

[ads101]

Not even 200, shocking. I mean I know we did the same lol, but our batsmen aren't as good as SA and we lost early wickets, while SA didn't.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

SA are probably the most Overrated team in the history of cricket.....Can't win a pressure game to save their lives

 

[Madplayer]

Tahir shouldnt try to be a hero

 

[Haripotter]

Need to get them out inside 200. Will be fourth time v have got all out opposition in 5 matches in CT including warm up matches.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

SA are probably the most Overrated team in the history of cricket.....Can't win a pressure game to save their lives

I realised that in the last game it self when they lost to 8th ranked pakistan

 

[JaDed]

Bowlers trying too hard.

Mate it's getting boring .. stop hating everything about India. Just enjoy the beautiful game we all love !

 

[captain crook]

Tahir, just let Duminy play 50 overs please...

 

[ExpressPacer]

India still have to bat vs Tahir, Rabada and Morkel. [MENTION=142991]TahirFan[/MENTION] says Phehlukwayo is supposedly faster than Rabada and has great variations. Only if South Africa can manage another 30 runs here, it should be a contest. Even the psychological factor of the chase being bigger than 200 should play a huge role.

 

[Titan24]

Ya that is what whole world cricket faternity felt after pak sa match

Yeah but we didnt get two batsmen of AB and Millers's callibre runout in two consecutive overs.

 

[Asif321]

struggling for 200 also . oh god what kind of number 1

 

[ammar_merry]

The only wicket in the whole match that did not look rigged.

even of pitch is triple faced u simply dont get runout like this

 

[cric_fanatic]

I heard someone say Indian bowling is ordinary. Haha. What world are u living in?

 

[CricVet]

Bumrah's action reminds me of Collin Craft action, but only uglier.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Tahir shouldnt try to be a hero

You can't stop his Pakistani genes.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Can they get to 200

 

[BlueAngel]

feelins bad for SA, will step out till Indian batting comes.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Mate it's getting boring .. stop hating everything about India. Just enjoy the beautiful game we all love !

His response will be like- Im a doctor and Im an Englishman and Im settled in Australia...

 

[Madplayer]

Tahir looking more solid than Amla and ABD

 

[MMHS]

loooool you wanted them to choke in semis..

For sure, we'll have a better show. Might go to 50/7, but won't make 140/2 into 190/9

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I realised that in the last game it self when they lost to 8th ranked pakistan

Fail Logic, previous match was as pressure free as possible mate....Already got a win in the tournament playing against 8th ranked team. Pakistan just bowled out of their skins to make them change their approach....

Over here the collapse started from two of the most bizarre and stupid piece of running I've seen in a while.....Reminded me of that infamous 1999 Semi Final

 

[GOAT999]

Is any indian fast bowler in this team over 6 feet or even 6 except umesh

 

[Titan24]

I realised that in the last game it self when they lost to 8th ranked pakistan

I realized that about India in 2012 that they either can win matches in ICC tournuments where things can be handlled well by ICC management or on their homesoil against non Asian teams.

 

[CricVet]

Umesh is not 6 ft

Nope, I meant the overrated part, we all already know how they do under pressure, but losing to a 8th ranked side made me realise that they are way overrated

 

[MMHS]

To be honest, SAF doesn't deserve No. 1 status. That ranking system has to factor ICC events - this is not fair that a dead rubber & a WC final is worth equal points against same opponent.

 

[Madplayer]

:

Pathetic shameful and disgraceful.

3rd runout.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

I hope their bowling still saves them.

What was that dance in the middle of the pitch?????????

Phehlukwayo is rubbish. But I guess he's better than Parnell who got hammered by our bats last World Cup. No way is Phehlukwayo faster than Rabada though. His fastest is around 140.

 

[captain crook]

Tahir

 

[roshanrocks]

What an anticlimax....


Started well... then collapsed completely... Suicidal running between the wickets.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

I realized that about India in 2012 that they either can win matches in ICC tournuments where things can be handlled well by ICC management or on their homesoil against non Asian teams.

Your realization was wrong though, since we won the 2013 champions trophy in england

 

[Sunzi]

What an anti-climax.
3.5 runs an over to win. 3 run outs. Shambles.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

It's all over. 192 is the target.

Inshallah India pulls it off

 

[cric_fanatic]

Is any indian fast bowler in this team over 6 feet or even 6 except umesh

What a question, sir!! *slow clap*

 

[Anchorman]

Embarrassing effort by SA today. Completely crumbled under the pressure of a big game.

India clutch as ever.

Barring Rabada bowling the spell of his life, it's all over.

Imagine the scenes if India lose this from here though. Houses will be stoned!
