ICC World Cup 2023: India (326/5) continue their domination with a staggering 243-run win over South Africa (83)

[IndoorCricket]

No pace at all. Just slower ones.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Surprisingly, in the last few overs, Kohli looked more fidgety than Iyer but Iyer is gone now.

 

[IAJ]

Getting out at wrong time

 

[IndoorCricket]

Imagine if ponting was a statpadder like kholi he’d have had 120 centuries

We kno we know. All the sleepless nights caused by Kohli

 

[globetrotter]

So india will play semi final as the only unbeaten side

Yes… if they win this… SA will be having 2 losses… India will rest main players Vs Netherland as they @top

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Robbed? It got washed out unless your trying to say we have control over rain. Lol

From my point of view, there has been something dubious in all the Indian games that I have watched.

From my POV, this is all a big conspiracy to somehow shepherd PAK into the semis.

 

[Hitman]

What an ignorant post and generalisation.

Alright, I'm sorry! I take back my words. I should not have generalised.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

No bowler was safe from him. He could hit any ball to boundary.

exactly, Peak Kholi has so few peers that I don't even recall one.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shreyas Iyer 77( 87) dismissed by Lungi Ngidi. India 227/3 in 36.5 overs

 

[Sunzi]

Took 6 pages but we got there. Toxic BS.

 

[Hitman]

Imagine if ponting was a statpadder like kholi he’d have had 120 centuries

Yea, that's why one has a strike rate of 80 while the other has a strike rate of 94.

 

[MP2011]

That was a freebie from Rabada

 

[globetrotter]

As expected partnership last till 37th over

 

[IndoorCricket]

Robbed? It got washed out unless your trying to say we have control over rain. Lol

From my point of view, there has been something dubious in all the Indian games that I have watched.

Wasim and Malik was saying in a web series that Pakistan never appreciate other players good performance. Its always something they did wrong and got those results. Full display of it here.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Rabada is south African Bumrah, just no freebies whatsoever. You gotta take chances.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Not sure Rahul is the right choice, sky could have been promoted up the order.

 

[kron]

Rabada is way better odi bowler than useless steyn.

Nitini was underrated.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

You need to get your eyesight tested, if I may suggest. Not safe while driving, thats all I am saying.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Not sure Rahul is the right choice, sky could have been promoted up the order.

Nah need to play out till 45. Possibility of losing all the wickets.

 

[kron]

Rabada is south African Bumrah, just no freebies whatsoever. You gotta take chances.

Brilliant bowler. Shocked to see his average is like 27 28. That tells you stats alone isn't everything.

 

[MP2011]

Not sure Rahul is the right choice, sky could have been promoted up the order.

Had we been left with 5-6 overs, Sky would have been better not now.

 

[Sunzi]

Rabada is south African Bumrah, just no freebies whatsoever. You gotta take chances.

Quality has definitely shone, be it the Indian bowlers, Wasim Jr. and Southee yesterday during that massacre or Rabada today.

Any compromises have been dispatched severely.

 

[kron]

At Indians lol
So I see some on twitter saying how saffer bowlers like jansen were lethal until they played today vs india?
Balls different?
Roller will spray chemicals to make pitch spicy when india bowl?

Balls need to be checked too apparently lol.

All kinds of rubbish being spouted. How do you respond to this crap?

Ah man nasty hit to the ankle. Poor ngidi. Hope he is ok.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Brilliant bowler. Shocked to see his average is like 27 28. That tells you stats alone isn't everything.

Intelligent and reliable bowlers both, averages are high due as batsman mostly try to survive both of them.

 

[Kianig89]

Do this WC serve any purpose

 

[Kianig89]

Including this last three WC hosted by Big 3 and won by Big 3,

 

[kron]

Intelligent and reliable bowlers both, averages are high due as batsman mostly try to survive both of them.

Yea and I ran some numbers. His average vs top 4 sides is a lot better than starc Cummins wood etc. So numbers alone doesn't mean much. Rabada hardly tries vs Zimbabwe bangla etc.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Do this WC serve any purpose

Same reason why any sports server any purpose. Uplift spirits of people all around the world.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Associate teams should have separate record books... but would not go down well with everyone. Very elitist.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Peak Kohli would have dispatched that to a boundary

 

[Asad T]

Do this WC serve any purpose

to show that defending champs can end up last on the WC table

 

[IndoorCricket]

Rabada was soo good today

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Do this WC serve any purpose

Very insightful. May i suggest Nihilism as personal philosophy for you... sab moh maya hai

 

[Sunzi]

Class from Rabada.

 

[Buffet]

Bowling has been good mostly.

 

[Buffet]

2 wickets here is needed to keep it below 300.

 

[Sunzi]

Good spell from SA bowlers to seize on Rahul's arrival and contain the runs.

Hard to say what can be scored off the last 10. Think 350 has to be the aim.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Awfully quiet last few overs.

Need to move on with the scoring.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are set to capitalize on the last 10 overs

India 239-3 (40 Overs)

 

[IndoorCricket]

Good spell from SA bowlers to seize on Rahul's arrival and contain the runs.

Hard to say what can be scored off the last 10. Think 350 has to be the aim.

No way 350. 320ish should be the target if we get lucky.

 

[globetrotter]

KL Rahul should start hitting….India needs 320….. De kock not playing well against India

 

[battler]

Man these two need to get a move on

 

[sindhiboy]

good comeback by south africa

 

[Sunzi]

No way 350. 320ish should be the target if we get lucky.

Seems more likely and in all liklihood more than enough for India's attack to defend.

 

[BaaliSoda]

With Virat looking fidgety and Rahul wasting crucial balls.

Sky is the need of the hour.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Come on India.... dikha do!!!!



Best cricketing video song ever....

 

[FearlessRoar]

Selfish innings by Virat Kohli so far. The day Virat Kohli plays for the team and not for his personal milestones, that day he should get his century.

 

[captain.hansolo]

No way. We'll be fortunate to score 300, let alone 370+

320

 

[globetrotter]

Rahul should get out…. SKY batting well against SA…. Sky thrashed SA bowling attack in Perth last year

 

[Ab Fan]

They ha e glaring holes. Rhaul's only issue is mental actually. If he fixed that he can be a top player. He is better than babar.

Still think india can be much stronger. That kid jaiswal is special. Sundar verma all are quality. Way better than the ones we are seeing drafted it. Rinks Singh looks better than iyer. Can play short ball well.

Axar. Etc. Pace bowling reserve looks really good too. I have a lot of Indian friends so we discuss this alot. Mayank yadav apparently bowled 155 or something recently.

Good knock from Iyer. Looks better don't matter. Rinku's time will come but currently Iyer and Rahul are doing well in middle order.

 

[Sunzi]

Very poor from Shamsi. Undoing the difficult progress made by Rabada and Ngidi in the last half hour.

 

[captain.hansolo]

Selfish innings by Virat Kohli so far. The day Virat Kohli plays for the team and not for his personal milestones, that day he should get his century.

lol ok dude. There are other channels on the television. And of course highlights of the CT 2017 final that you could watch.

 

[sindhiboy]

this is pure comedy from shamsi

 

[BaaliSoda]

Selfish innings by Virat Kohli so far. The day Virat Kohli plays for the team and not for his personal milestones, that day he should get his century.

Not really if you watched from the beginning, the pitch was tough one to score easily. Plus Maharaj bowled fantastically well to Virat.

Saying this, I do hope he moves on to another gear now. No more ball wasting.

 

[kron]

Holy crap. Shamsi? How he passes fitness tests?
No way what a belly. Haha

 

[Ahmed216]

Not really if you watched from the beginning, the pitch was tough one to score easily. Plus Maharaj bowled fantastically well to Virat.

Saying this, I do hope he moves on to another gear now. No more ball wasting.

Agreed. Brother Maharaj was fantastic today.
India prepared a tricky surface again and Keshav has made full use of it

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Selfish innings by Virat Kohli so far. The day Virat Kohli plays for the team and not for his personal milestones, that day he should get his century.

I think he is just not able to hit it... This is where Kholi and Rahul differ, Rahul is insanely talented in power game.

 

[MP2011]

Really poor batting from Rahul so far

 

[Varun]

Kohli 78* (102) lolwhut.

 

[battler]

Very poor from Kohli and Rahul thus far

 

[Sunzi]

Rahul holes out. Good catch at deep square.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Really poor batting from Rahul so far

This is my worry knowing how nervy starter Rahul can be. Sky would have been a better choice (in fact even Jaddu would do some hitting).

 

[MP2011]

No justification of this tuk tuk from Kohli and that too against Shamsi.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Never seen Kholi stuggle like this, just does not feel right as a fan. Like Sachin getting out on duck.

 

[battler]

Finally SKY time!

 

[kron]

Lol kohli has zero power. Vegan ?
Poor effort overall. Tuk tuk veerat.

 

[RehanG]

India already have enough on board. Don't think SA will get these with the amount of spin on offer.

 

[captain.hansolo]

Do this WC serve any purpose

Yes, it demonstrates how much superior Indian cricket is to the rest.

 

[kron]

Finally SKY time!

The hack is back.

 

[AAli98]

No market in odis for batsman like Kohli baba root Williamson if they score big their team most likely will lose s/r of 80 don’t cut it.

For every kholi baba they are Fakhars Klaasens

 

[MP2011]

That's why I said we'll be lucky to reach 300 in this innings

 

[kron]

India already have enough on board. Don't think SA will get these with the amount of spin on offer.

Agreed. Plus india get free license to tamper with balls.

 

[Varun]

South Africa shouldn't have caught that tbh.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think India should win if they post 280-290.

 

[kron]

Kl Rahul lol.

Selfish boy. No cake today for you buddy

 

[BaaliSoda]

India is losing the track here.

Strong comeback this by SA bowlers.

Getting closer to 300 will require some hitting from here on.

 

[MP2011]

Now be prepared for Tuk tuk from Sky

 

[kron]

South Africa shouldn't have caught that tbh.

Why will the hack score a quick fire 50?

 

[IndoorCricket]

SA bowling very well.

 

[captain.hansolo]

Rahul holes out. Good catch at deep square.

Nah mate that was an exceptional catch.
