What's new

India [230/4] beat South Africa [227/9] by 6 wickets in the 8th match of the 2019 World Cup

Lol the umpire is younger than the bowler (Tahir). Very strange. :)
 
SA have bowled really well to Kohli, almost always in that channel.
 
The reason why umpires call is there is because hawk eye ball tracking technology isn't accurate? Correct me if I am wrong
 
It's sad what SA has become.

Their matches are going to be so boring now, they aren't making it to the semis anyway and are 100% out.

Sad sad for cricket.
 
Btw, good to see such an ODI pitch in England, such a rarity.

Well ball tracking never really be 100% correct, thats why BCCI was so reluctant on accepting this DRS thing I guess. And yes, inaccuracies is why we have umpire calls.
 
India cruising this. Think SA need at least another two wickets by the 100 run mark to make a game of it and also keep the RR down which they're managing so far. Edit: Kohli gone!
 
Irrespective of this match. Umpire’s call should be scrapped. In real life if ball clips the bails it’s out.

Too many advantages for batsmen. I get irritateted every time I see this.

it has to do with the reliability of the system rather than any advantage for the batsman.
 
Both BD and India lost a wicket at the same time :))


Brothers in arms

Hmm.

It's good I think. At least it helps in those decisions in which umpires make mistakes.
 
If only Sharma's catch would have been taken early on.



Also India will still win but this is exposing India's batting frailty
 
Well, SA has never lost their first 3 WC games and this won't change during this WC either.
 
Now just steady but 2 more wicket will put india in deep trouble as we don't have much depth in batting.

They have a lot of depth. Still 4 more proper batters left till Pandya.

If IND is not 100/4, they're winning it 100%!
 
SAF is making a match out there - if they get Sharma by 90, it’ll be nail bitter.
 
Thoroughly dislike this bloke Rahul. Thinks of himself as a superstar with zero performance to boot. Kohli didn't become Kohli because of style, glamour and tatoos. He did so by first performing with the bat.
 
Faf ,Van Der Dussen,and Miller hang your head in shame. If SA got another 20 this would be game on.
 
Kohli 18 off 34. If Babar played a similar knock and got out their will be a thread named 'Is it time to look for another player than Babar. Because he's too slow'

Because Kohli doesn't always bat at that pace . Babar bats his innings at the same tempo regardless of the score .
 
U guys don't watch India match against nz in seaming & swing condition??
This is not the same pitch.The new ball helped in this scenario,it will become easier when the batsman will settle in.This pitch has uneven bounce,which is causing troubles plus tahir is getting the bowl to spin.I back msd to guide india home and this is why ms is so vital for your team.

He is not arrogant. Style, glamour and tatoos are alright, it does not mean he is arrogant.
But he needs to perform.
 
Real test of KL Rahul from here. Time has come to justify his selection
 
Andile P. Looking the most dangerous bowler. I don't know how but he gets the job done somehow
 
Dude match situation is so important always not strike rate . In this match strike rate doesn't matter .

Boundary abiliy of babar is not far to behind from kohli.The only difference I see between the two is the fielding and the commitment.No doubt kohli is the lionel messi of cricket and the greatest batsman of all time.Babar should become the bestever batsman in history of pakistan cricket in the future.
 
And as if babar always bat that slow lol at some posters here.

He doesn't accelerate at the correct time . Kohli knows how to rotate strike and the moments when to accelerate.

I rate Babat extremely highly but at times he plays too many dots. It's not even about his lack of boundaries for me. Kohli,Root ,and Smith always keep the strike ticking.
 
Because Kohli doesn't always bat at that pace . Babar bats his innings at the same tempo regardless of the score .

So you think because Babar's SR is lower than Kohli it means Babar deserves this hard criticism and sometimes hate? TBH recently he has been batting at high SR than he used to a year ago. Moreover he has worked on his power game. He just needs that confidence and believe in his power game.
