ICC World Cup 2023: South Africa (399/7) destroys England (170) by 229 runs, leaving England's World Cup hopes in jeopardy

[jnaveen1980]

On good batting track they should leave out Bavuma. This Hendricks has a power game that Bavuma can only in dream can have.

 

[mominsaigol]

For everyone's sake, hope SA win because we won't be able to compete with eng or Australia if it comes down to rr

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even washed up Piyush bowled well here with his leggies

 

[MANU ROY]

Hendricks looks Dangerous

 

[jnaveen1980]

This English attack is pop gun attack. But for Gurbaaz run out he would have made 150

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Atkinson is bowling okay length so far here.

 

[Devadwal]

I want England to win so four team will have 4 point each in 4 match .
England, South Africa, Australia and Pakistan .

 

[jnaveen1980]

I want England to win so four team will have 4 point each in 4 match .
England, South Africa, Australia and Pakistan .

I back them to win today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Atkinson has so far gotten the right length so far. Apart from the short one he is hitting the correct length.

 

[Devadwal]

This English attack is pop gun attack. But for Gurbaaz run out he would have made 150

Yes but they can Chase anything close to 370 .
South Africa Pacers can exploits conditions if they Bowl in right area under light as Bowl will get seam and swing for first 7-8 over .

 

[jnaveen1980]

See this is how you adapt. You cannot brainlessly doll out half vollies. Atkinson has so far hit perfect line and length for the pitch. Now batsman has to take risks to target him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes but they can Chase anything close to 370 .
South Africa Pacers can exploits conditions if they Bowl in right area under light as Bowl will get seam and swing for first 7-8 over .

There is a specific difficult length for this pitch. If they hit all their innings they will restrict England.

 

[Devadwal]

Bowled .this is big big wicket .

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a surprise googly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Leggies are a force here.

 

[sindhiboy]

The stage is set for Klaasen, he needs to go big now and get his first big score of the tournament

 

[Devadwal]

Now I don't think they can score anything above 330.

 

[Ahmed216]

Now I don't think they can score anything above 330.

320 minimum I think

 

[Devadwal]

Poor DRS

 

[kron]

Yes everyone want to watch rauf conceded 59 runs in 4 over . speed is overrated

I clearly said speed plus skills.

Speed along won't get you far but I would rather watch a speedster beauty over a trundler anyday.

 

[kron]

Rashid is a fantastic spinner.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Heat will play a role . Adil Rashid is already exhausted. They will have to bat after this 50 overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

Backing England in this game. Want them to do well in the tournament because I find them very exciting. They are more likely to produce some mouth watering contests in KO's.
Also now that my favorite cricketer Stokes is back

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Gus has very good control over line which someone like Rauf doesn't have

 

[jnaveen1980]

These are all good balls on this pitch. You cannot hit like this unless you are in great touch. Markram wow

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sumptuous batting from Markram.

 

[castortroy]

Incredible how much Markram has improved his game.

The guy was a steady test batter but has elevated his game into the white ball game

 

[jnaveen1980]

T20 stage now

 

[jnaveen1980]

I won't call that a drop lol More like escape from a bullet.

 

[castortroy]

Wood getting the Rauf treatment

 

[Devadwal]

I think South Africa is playing little slow .
30 over they should have scored 215 .

 

[apnapind]

Pakistanis are just obessed with pace for no reason look at here wood is being taken apart

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think South Africa is playing little slow .

Adil Rashid is bowling ultra slow like Ramesh powar. 70 kph. They are not getting the timign right

 

[apnapind]

Bro why is pace getting punished so badly here?

 

[kron]

Even washed up Piyush bowled well here with his leggies

I remember washed up piyush owning veerat kohli. A good spinner vs kohli and he will fold. Rashid or santner etc

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistanis are just obessed with pace for no reason look at here wood is being taken apart

In Indian conditions only two bowlers in recent times impressed me with absolute raw pace. Wood always got canned. I remember Kohli laid into him in the IPL match. Umran Malik for a brief period and Nortje in some matches. Ferguson was thrashed around and franchise let him go.

 

[Ahmed216]

Huge mistake by SA not playing the second spinner

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bro why is pace getting punished so badly here?

Length matters. On the same ground in an IPL final Johnson was near unplayable with his bounce. Guys like Wood is a skiddy customer who just plays into hands of batsmen

Ya true bro thats why you need to be smart here with your bowling variations are so important.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Reeza Hendricks was cleaned by Rashid. He was playing so well but chopped one onto his stumps. South Africa is 202/3 after 31 overs

 

[apnapind]

I would have someone like rahat ali over rauf who is just fast at leaking runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ya true bro thats why you need to be smart here with your bowling variations are so important.

On this very ground Umran was near untouchable when he took that fifer. Gill before even reacting got cleaned up.

Destruction alert! Umran Malik wreaks havoc with dream spell

You need bounce. Not just speed. Hard length and ability to generate consistent bounce. Batsmen will always find rising balls at uncomfortable lengths hard to face. McGrath despite his pace would get a 5fer here.

You need to adapt at the end of the day. You cannot bowl the same way in every ground in India.

 

[kron]

Lol at these random Indians in SA colours. You would never see sena nation fans hold banners or portraits of Asian players up in the hair hailing and singing their praises.

There are a lot of Indians actuall live in SA. Must be one those expats

 

[apnapind]

Pakistan just will never realise pace is not good enough you might be slow as long you bowl in right areas.

 

[kron]

You need to adapt at the end of the day. You cannot bowl the same way in every ground in India.

Agreed. Excellent variety of pitches on offer. Whichever idiot that complained about india being spin friendly should be banned from posting.
Thoroughly enjoyed the variety in pitches.

Bro what is wrong with wood bowling he was nearly unplayable in ashes?

 

[jnaveen1980]

I still don't know how Mark wood bullied pakistan on even more docile tracks in pakistan. This guy is a run donator

 

[apnapind]

I still don't know how Mark wood bullied pakistan on even more docile tracks in pakistan. This guy is a run donator

What could be the reason he was nearly unplayable vs aus in ashes aswell.

 

[Ahmed216]

Load of crap from Mark wood. Seriously this is filth.

I think he should focus more on bowling in the channel. Pace is actually helping the batsmen on this easy paced surface.
Another issue is he doesn't get any sideways movement a bit like rauf

 

[Ahmed216]

I still don't know how Mark wood bullied pakistan on even more docile tracks in pakistan. This guy is a run donator

We know that test cricket is a different game altogether

 

[Ab Fan]

Reeza strengthens South African side as now they are playing with XI, before today's match they were having 1 player less.

 

[Ahmed216]

SA beginning to take the game away. England desperately needs a wicket or 2

 

[jnaveen1980]

What could be the reason he was nearly unplayable vs aus in ashes aswell.

Leeds is the fastest pitch in England. He took a fifer there. He relies a bit on the pitch pace. He is not one guy who can take pitch out of the equation.

 

[Ahmed216]

This English attack is pop gun attack. But for Gurbaaz run out he would have made 150

I think they have failed to adapt to these conditions so far

 

[jnaveen1980]

Reeza strengthens South African side as now they are playing with XI, before today's match they were having 1 player less.

Yea way better with him in place Bavuma. 6 dangerous players in the top 6.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Topley is okayish. His heigh enables him to release the ball from awkward height

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA is an intimidating batting line up when they don't choke

 

[Aseem_Khan]

England will win today, Tommorow New Zealand will win.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Topley strikes.

 

[Devadwal]

Poor shot from makram ,no power behind that Shot

 

[jnaveen1980]

Which Miller will show up today is the key for SA. Choking Miller or destructive Miller

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why didn't SA pick Shamsi here. He would have been more than handy here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Damn Mumbai seems to be the hottest place irght now. Why is it this hot in October?

 

[apnapind]

Not sure who is the worst captain butler or babar.

 

[apnapind]

Man south africa are choking here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bowlers who can extract any sort of movement will be handy here. Seam or swing movement. Gun barrell bowlers will be punished

 

[jnaveen1980]

Which Miller will show up today is the key for SA. Choking Miller or destructive Miller

choking miller it is. I have watched enough of this guy lol. There are days he will bottle it on a fantastic batting track like this.

 

[kron]

Useless suffers hahahhaa. Choker tea.. perennial bridesmaid. If that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Left arm seamers are ruling the roost here

 

[apnapind]

choking miller it is. I have watched enough of this guy lol. There are days he will bottle it on a fantastic batting track like this.

I never een miller winning any pressure world cup match for sa he is their biggest choker.

 

[Devadwal]

England and Australia back in top 4
I don't think now South Africa or Pakistan will reach in semi .

 

[kron]

Reeza strengthens South African side as now they are playing with XI, before today's match they were having 1 player less.

They are still average.

 

[apnapind]

Useless suffers hahahhaa. Choker tea.. perennial bridesmaid. If that.

Chokers more than australians?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Choking at wankhede is a crime.

 

[kron]

Even ab was a choker. Choker forever.
Steyn was a choker himself.

Great test player steyn was but he was aided a lot by brilliant morkel and rabada later in his career plus philander.

 

[Devadwal]

They need to build a partnership around 50 runs from 8 over .
Then go bang bang in Last 5 over .

 

[apnapind]

England and Australia back in top 4
I don't think now South Africa or Pakistan will reach in semi .

its too early to say that its a long world cup anything can still happen
