[dauntless]

Congratulations!! Indian fans for making it to the finals!!

 

[subbu]

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

2003 wc held in south africa

home conditions still failed to qualify for even super sixes ..lost in group stage

 

[Specialisttailender]

This is how it is done, slow and easy. No pressure.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Congratulations!! Indian fans for making it to the finals!!

Thanks , are you going to support england and bangladesh now

 

[Justcrazy]

Rabada comes in now.

 

[JaDed]

Morkel makes Bumrah look like superman in fielding.

118 / 1

25 overs

 

[Hasan123]

What do you think? These Yanks are going to discuss with me their plan? Even that has a slim chance than those Yanks spending big in Transfer Market.

Don't see Liverpool signing those players.

A couple of young players with potential who will be sold for profit will be signed.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They should have some hard nosed as captain. They are all too soft.

 

[junoon]

Who is india going to play against in the semi-final? Bangladesh or england?

 

[JaDed]

What's even Morris saying to Dhawan?Lol

 

[cricket.mad]

Who is india going to play against in the semi-final? Bangladesh or england?

England, if SL wins with a margin of above 200 runs against Pakistan or if Pakistan beats SL by a margin of above 300 runs or else we will be facing Bengal Tigers..

 

[JaDed]

Who is india going to play against in the semi-final? Bangladesh or england?

Bangla unless Lanka or Pak can get a higher NRR tomorrow.

 

[dauntless]

Thanks , are you going to support england and bangladesh now

Well it seems I have to support my former team now i.e Pakistan against srilanka then I will decide whether to support england or not.india is not out of equation either.

 

[msb314]

THis is just embarrasing - SAF are just so bad.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Bangla unless Lanka or Pak can get a higher NRR tomorrow.

That's almost impossible now because we are going to win this match by a big margin too

 

[dauntless]

Shikhar has proved many haters wrong.

 

[JaDed]

That's almost impossible now because we are going to win this match by a big margin too

Yup,but still have to give him all scenarios.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA would be disappointed here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

After 2 convincing wins and one close loss India will most likely finish the top.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Humiliation

 

[JaDed]

Morris should vary the pace,terrible bowling.

 

[Justcrazy]

India looking to win by nine wickets here

 

[msb314]

that seemed like a no ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Batting 2nd is such an easy job in this tournament. Almost for any team let alone India.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

The one against Sri Lanka, India isn't play badly against them. Sir Lanka simply had you much determination to win that one. Class act from the Lankans on that one.

After 2 convincing wins and one close loss India will most likely finish the top.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhawan is a Beast in ICC tournaments

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch offers nothing. Bowlers can't be blamed here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SL outbatted them magnificently. India was not off the mark except they had chance to set better total. Still SL collecitvely raised their game.

 

[JaDed]

ABD still continuing with Morris,remarkable.

 

[Madplayer]

There is dumb. Then there is dumber. Then there is a brick. And then comes our beloved de villiers.

 

[JaDed]

Stupid shot.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dhawan had to score 22 out of 41 to get to 100. He was being proactive. It cost his wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

At this point his selfishness would have benefitted as he wanted to get to his 100 quickly

[Specialisttailender]

Shikhar has proved many haters wrong.

Never understood the hate for Shikhar. AVG of 44 with Sr of 90. What else you need ?

 

[Specialisttailender]

Tahir is a wicket taker should have bowled him the most. Stupid ABD ruining the intensity. I want some entertainment.

 

[JaDed]

Never understood the hate for Shikhar. AVG of 44 with Sr of 90. What else you need ?

He is pretty mediocre in billaterals,and guess he gets the hatred for his test performance as well.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

62 off 91 balls by kohli, what a shehzad wannabe this guy

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Played like defending champions today.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Imran bhai aur amla bhai dono hi pit gaye aaj toh

 

[JaDed]

Second most boring match of the tournament after India-Pak. Most are probably browsing or doing work while watching the match.

 

[MMHS]

Clinically boring - I am preparing for Canadian GP.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That shot off Tahir

 

[MMHS]

Nadal wins 10th French Open.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Duminy consistently getting some away drift here.

Watching Lord Rafa win back French...

 

[msb314]

Nice flick there by Miller!

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Yuvi finishes off in style and India knock the proteas out

 

[Jatt_bonebreaker]

Jatt shot 6666666666 and india wins

 

[JaDed]

Watching Lord Rafa win back French...

Yes that's even worse,not a fan of the Rafa and he is cruising.Will watch him in Wimbledon though,when the master wins.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They asked for six and Yuvi obliged them. Such a large heart

 

[Coconut]

Watching Lord Rafa win back French...

LOL, Lord? He's a clay court bully.

 

[JaDed]

Clinically boring - I am preparing for Canadian GP.

How much is the ticket?Will you be going?

 

[dauntless]

Okay! Done now! Next match

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Thanks to Rashid Latif.

 

[JaDed]

This match was so boring everyone discussing French open

 

[Asif321]

what a pathetic display by chokers

 

[MMHS]

How much is the ticket?Will you be going?

In TV - Canadian GP is in Montreal

Open Ticket shouldn't be that expensive, around $100. It's the stands at the checkered flag that's hell expensive.

That's pretty good rate for open ticket,people should take a holiday Montreal is a great place and escape the congestion in GTA.

 

[Napa]

Congratulations!! Indian fans for making it to the finals!!

Would be a mistake to underestimate Bangladesh. They nearly beat us in the WT20. Their batsmen have shown the ability to recover and win against good bowling attacks like NZ.

 

[Specialisttailender]

Played like defending champions today.

First time hearing something positive from you.

 

[Specialisttailender]

Very true, when we are playing a good match I wont be browsing.

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] Why do you think india batting is shaky......other than English which batting team has performed with so much of dominance, last 2 matches they scored more than 300 and today chased down the target in 38 overs. Also you did over analysis here where every team is winning the toss and bowling first in this tournament....

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] bhai both devilliers and amla choked

Told everyone years ago that they don't have the guts to perform under pressure.

Among batting & bowling, I take batting weaker.

Regarding chasing, I still believe best medicine for SAF is to ask them chasing in KOs. It looks a better decision to opt for chasing, for few run outs, but still the way they batted against 2 spinners, you never know what would have happened had they been chasing the same total. IND also had a 0-8 record chasing against SAF in last few years.

I put it this way - against 2 spinners, batting first, SAF still has a chance to put some score that they might defend. Batting 2nd, on this surface they'll lose 10 out of 10 times, unless IND is all-out for 170.

Had SAF advanced today, first message to BD team from me would have been to bat first & somehow put 225 - then bring Miraz, Mustaiz, Shakib in the game & don't allow easy singles to Chokers.

 

[Pete Rose]

South Africa need to kill their idols. It seems too many of their players are around longer than they need to be. I really dont know why their captain came to this tournament.
I am pretty sure the next two weeks we will ABD moaning about workload and how he only played because the team need him.

 

[kohli]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] still with no substance and of no use.....Indian batting unit is much better than others barring England..

 

[Sadevdesai]

No doubt which was the better Team today !!!!!!! Did SA choke .... or the Indians were just that much better ????? That makes 4 out of 4 for the Indians over SA in CT Tournament .... wow !!!!!! Would it have made any difference had SA won the Toss and fielded First ???? Not easy to say .... but I don't think so. Soooooo ...... all the Teams, South of the equator, are eliminated .... must be some kind of a curse !!!!!!

 

[kohli]

Exactly. Even a kid in the mohallas of Pakitan bowl better than these rubbish pace bowlers of India. Sad thata they can't produce 1 decent bowler out of 1 billion population.

And still Malcom riaz keep getting chancec every now n then the most pathetic bowler of the tournament...

 

[JuNNi]

Not sure how the Ind-Ban semi-final is confirmed. Wouldn't it depend on the NRR after tomorrow's game?

 

[SL_Fan]

Congrats India. Was looking forward to this one but kinda had a felling that it'll be completely one-sided. Some things just never change. SA with all their no1 ranking and top 10 player rankings etc means bugger all really when they keep flopping time and time again when it really matters. Better players yet things seem to be getting worse more than any thing else. Surely it's time that they look seriously into this.

 

[Tusker]

Not sure how the Ind-Ban semi-final is confirmed. Wouldn't it depend on the NRR after tomorrow's game?

Have you taken a look at the points table and India's Net Run Rate ... its so far away from SL (who are nearest to India) that it will require an almighty a$$ whopping of epic proportions (win by 200+ runs) to get ahead of India ... highly unlikely.
