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

[GOAT999]

Ok now I really believe Pakistan didn't beat a number one side I guess they should change the rankings and out Pakistan on number one and south africa at number 8 these rankings are a bloody joke if you can't perform at world stage you don't deserve to be at number one simple.

 

[Bhaijaan]

That shot from Dhawan was dope.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This actually is a very good track to bat on even 300 would have been tough to defend.

I am disappointed none of the pitch offered any lateral movement.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sharma

 

[Mlscicfan]

Your dumb posts show your masked thinking. Check who brought it up.

Check again all my posts .. I never said about ISI or any such anti social elements. Keep posting such filth if u feel better.

 

[roshanrocks]

ROhit commits suicide.... :

 

[JaDed]

Lol Sharmaji what a catch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was ego shot nothing more nothing less. What was he trying to prove there.

 

[mastermind_quad]

ut

 

[captain crook]

Sharma shown his aukaat by Morkel.. chal nikaal

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Lol Rohit trying to score quickly in the one match when he was required to bat normallyh

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It won't be this easy for sure ...... at least they'll play against men & balls.

Definitely. Any team is more of a threat than South Africa in an ICC tournament.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Gave away his wicket

 

[CricVet]

Get outta here and take your Indian filth away from here. Check who I replied to and have some coffee for slow brain.

 

[GOAT999]

This is bloody ridiculous even the Indians are in on it.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Finally getting to watch Virat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am always scared of wickets thrown away by an Indian. Always it alters the results. Remember Viru gave his wicket at the MCG. It changed the game.

 

[TahirFan]

9 more wickets. Go proteas

 

[ToeCrusher2]

9 more wickets. Go proteas

Yup go proteas, go home

 

[Justcrazy]

Just 168 more required here

 

[MMHS]

Definitely. Any team is more of a threat than South Africa in an ICC tournament.

They lost last WC SF, defending 300 in 45 overs, by dropping couple of dollies & bowling probably 15 wide & NO!!!!!

 

[GOAT999]

I'd love to see dhawan run out a couple of his mates to make things a little more interesting.

 

[Hasan123]

Rabada vs Kohli. Good battle

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Morne is just a damn underrated ODI bowler. He and Steyn were the only non chokers in their ODI lineup.

 

[mastermind_quad]

No no.

 

[BDfanforever]

Who were the finalists in 2015 WC? How nany asian team are in top 5?

 

[MMHS]

Morne is just a damn underrated ODI bowler. He and Steyn were the only non chokers in their ODI lineup.

Did you see Styen in last WC SF?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mone is alway a gun bowler. That is why it is all the more ridiculous shot seletion from Rohit

 

[MMHS]

Who were the finalists in 2015 WC? How nany asian team are in top 5?

What that has to do with his correct prediction of 3 Asian Semi finalist this time?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Their catching was indeed terrible in that match. NZ knew they had a chance if they went really hard at Saffer bowling and it worked.

 

[JibranAnsari]

So india vs bangladesh

Sri lanka Vs England


Srilanka vs india final

 

[MMHS]

20 of 24 in 7 overs has come from 4 shots, therefore it's definitely not easy out there. Had IND batted first & posted 191 - I would have bet my house to defend them against SAF.

 

[BDfanforever]

No, u said Cricket was becoming Asian game which is not true.

 

[MMHS]

No, u said Cricket was becoming Asian game which is not true.

The gallery even last time actually tells different story.

 

[Justcrazy]

Great ball by Morkel , a ripper

 

[jnaveen1980]

Guys let the match be over before we talk about how many asian teams go through to semis Stay is not exactly pleasant for them.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Did you see Styen in last WC SF?

That was just great hitting by Elliott and anyway they had dropped catches earlier. It should never have come to that.
Choking is when,under pressure , you don't perform to the best of your ability. Steyn gave it his all and thst was just not good enough.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Please rotate strikes. Creating unnecessary pressure for themselves.

He bowled 7 or 8 wides & no balls, when asking was close to 10!!!!! But yes, much tougher than others.

 

[CricVet]

Tahir needs to bowl now with Morne to attack India while they are being defensive.

 

[Justcrazy]

26 / 1

9 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

India just needs to preserve wicket go after lesser bowlers

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I think that had something to do with being unable to release the ball properly because of the weather or something. Not sure but he's tougher than most Saffer cricketers .

 

[BDfanforever]

The gallery even last time actually tells different story.

Not sure what you mean. I agree to an extent what you said, but its not completely the truth.

Look at the England team, if no one cares abt cricket how do they have a team like that.

Just because South Asian crowds acts like a clown in the stadium doesn't mean only they follow cricket.

 

[MMHS]

Tahir needs to bowl now with Morne to attack India while they are being defensive.

To make that strategy effective, at least 235 was required. Even 92/2 in 33 overs keeps it below run a ball.

They have nothing to lose now. Tahir googlies can actually be good on this wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gautam Gambhir had nightmare time against Mone in SA. He had this uncomfortable angle bowling round the wicket for him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mone is looking tired. It would be wise to take him out and give Morris a go

 

[CricVet]

Dhawan being aggressive and Tahir is a good option against him.

 

[Sunzi]

Easy this. What a shambles by South Africa.

 

[jnaveen1980]

you can't blame SA bowlers here. They are giving their best.

 

[Boycottisno2]

Choke in progress

 

[Sunzi]

Pehluhkwayo's a trundler - he won't trouble these batsman.

 

[Hasan123]

Tahir needs to be brought into the attack asap

 

[Mlscicfan]

India is soaking the pressure well, need to rotate strike more like Manjrekar mentioned now.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA need someone to bowl a magical spell here to come back.

 

[Hasan123]

India will target Morris and Pehluhkwayo

 

[Justcrazy]

SA have livedup to there reputation of chokers here.

 

[big_gamer007]

Was expecting a better performance from SA but we will win so no complaints...

 

[CricVet]

Run choking will not work. If Tahir is brought to bowl, he may change things.

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli breaking the shackles

 

[big_gamer007]

Wow what a shot Kohli..

 

[CricVet]

and now 6

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Good that we got the Africans for the total we did. They really are bowling great line and lengths and Kohli is really having to tough it out there.

Good job SA.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA would be packing there bags now.

India to play England in the semifinal !

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yup containment in small chase will not last forever. At some point bowlers will bad ball batsman will get into his stride.

 

[Hasan123]

Time for Tahir. South Africa won't win this game with current combination bowling for another 5/6 overs.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

Final you mean

 

[CricVet]

Why reifel was checking sky? Only Rain can give RSA a chance

 

[Specialisttailender]

I need to stop sleeping in during match days. Missed SA choking .

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA would be packing there bags now.

India to play England in the semifinal !

Semi final will be with BD given that India has far superior NRR than SL n pak. There is always an outside chance. But India may win this as well convincingly.

 

[Hasan123]

Unbelievable shot by Kohli

 

[Imran Hasan]

Kohli getting his form back.

 

[Specialisttailender]

Please rotate strikes. Creating unnecessary pressure for themselves.

Plenty of overs left and wickets in hand.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

No they are not. South Africa was a good team maybe a decade ago. Now they are just a hit or miss like bangladesh.

 

[Justcrazy]

41 runs partnership already

 

[jnaveen1980]

No they are not. South Africa was a good team maybe a decade ago. Now they are just a hit or miss like bangladesh.

They have enough fire power to beat any side in the world on a given day. But they choke collectively in cruch ICC games.

 

[CricVet]

How can people say that RSA is not a top side? They can't have bad days? They are still the number 1 side. They just choke in ICC tournaments. One of the days, monkey will be off the back.

 

[Syed1]

Stupid to not employ Tahir yet
