What's new

ICC CT 2017 | India [193/2] beat South Africa [191] by 8 wickets to qualify for the semi-finals

Needed to take that in games like this.

Great effort - 4 runs that, if it was a Pak slipper.

Phehlukwayo troubling Kohli a touch. He worked for that chance...
 
SAF are well and truly rubbish.

Says a lot about them when ever Pakistan can beat them.
 
What is captain thinking? This is a very very silly to keep Tahir away for so long.
 
Indian fans response to losing wickets

"We threw wickets away"

Indian fans response to batting slower

"We need to accelerate".

Just relax, you dont always need to find excuse or find a mistake.

You meant the impatient ones and not the sensible ones I guess. But yeah batting as a unit has been clicking well for us and hence I was always trying to advocate the above sentiment in my innumerable previous posts.
 
why would a captain bring his strike bowler when the score is over 50 and defending not even 200. Extremely poor.
 
To be honest, from the results of 3 matches - PAK-SAF, IND-SAF & IND-SRL, my confidence on tomorrow's winner has got a big twist ........

Why on earth we can't play an ICC KO match against SAF? Almost could have done that in last WC :(

Yet you predicted SA to win the trophy
 
The Proteas are still in the game. A couple of wickets here and the Indian batting will be exposed.
 
Kohli tuk tuking away but when you only have to chase 191 - it doesn't matter.
 
ABDV is from Misbah's school of captaincy. Defensive, spread fields when you need to win a match.

I said, they are my 2nd favorite team. I actually missed with the trophy one as well - partially we are responsible for that.

SAF is No. 1 in ranking - coming straight from 5-0, 5-0 against AUS, SRL & gave Poms toughest run for a 2-1 home series win - is this really too much to expect that at least once .........

ODI ranking must have to factor ICC events - that 5th ODI against SRL earned them more points than this win at CT ......
 
I don't necessarily follow teams other than Pakistan but can someone explain to me HOW ARE SA THE #1 SIDE IN THE WORLD ???? How did it actually happen??

Bhai you predicted that you thought they would win. Don't try and get out of it.

Yes the rankings are irreverent when you see such performances from South Africa in icc tournaments.

I backed AUS to win, but yes SAF was one of my favorites. AUS-SAF was my pick - 2 of first 3 to go home :(
 
Its like a ritual. They are always the favorites and then they place worse than bangladesh.

Not true. They played exciting cricket in ICC tournament and choked at crucial MOMENTS. This probably is their worst ever performance in an ICC tournament.
 
Dhawan needs to work on his pull shots,tbf the pitch is on slower side here so its ok.

2003 WC was also pretty bad for their standards.

This bad? I got pretty busy from 2000-2008 so did not follow much cricket. Was that the tournament when Ind Pak exit out early? I only go by mostly memory and not stats.
 
2003 WC they missed out for a DWL miscalculation - after all those Lap tops & ear plugs .........

Lmao not to forget inspite 1992 they still couldn't figure it out,well the weirdest thing was to see Kenya not only going to Super Six but even semis.

That was 2007, 2003 was the one where India went to finals and lost to Aus and guess who else was in semis Kenya :P

Ah. I will go to cricinfo and check RSA record in that tournament. I personally have never seen them playing this bad cricket (ODI) in any tournament. Thanks for info :)
 
Too much over analyzing playing a part in choking in icc tournaments?

You tagged me in another thread, for which I have explained somewhere few months back - need to find that.

By the way, I just got a confirmed news from Boston that FSG is selling 10% of Red Sox, to fund $150mn for Mabappe. This is on top of that $200mn net spending they are going to do to bring VVD, Lecazzete, Kieta, Mendy & Salah.

I had an 1 on 1 chat with John & Tom regarding their ambition with Liverpool FC - how they dream to replace Real Mardid & MU in Europe & in EPL by 2035 .........

Exciting days at Anfield is coming back guys ........ we are blessed to have Yank owners.

Sarcasm?
 
Morkel is not even trying,Kohli was trying that in the previous ,still bowled him the same line.

Sensible ones are very few. We must have the lowest sensible to impatient(im just being nice here) fan ratio. We possibly have the greatest batting line up and our dumb fans still want to blame our batsmen.
