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

[Nikhil_cric]

How is bhuvi bowling at 143 something must be wrong with speed gun and another dumb decision by faf to bat first it’s swinging

He has clocked upto 146 kph previously.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why would you bat first in these conditions, overcast, cloudy! SA have lost the plot

Bumrah is an okay swing bowler. He relies on angle, pace, bounce more than swing.

 

[AFM]

I hate to admit it, but Bumrah is too good.

 

[Mainul]

Pandya. I mean Bhuvi should not have been played.

He is bowling well

 

[ethan hunt]

Bumrah's hyper extension helps him get that extra zip and movement.
The accuracy with that action is amazing

 

[Hasan2K8]

I would say Australia is overall better while we are tied with South Africa.

What’s so good about SA bowling attack? They got tonked for 300+ runs twice. No steyn, only Rabbada can bowl 145 or more. It’s a one dimensional attack, Tahir is their best bowler!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bhuvi can swing somewhat. But this is not a swing bowling unit like Zaheer, Nehra, Irfan.

 

[Hasan123]

That was good captaincy by Kohli to put himself at 3rd slip.

 

[volcyz]

South Africa unlikely to win any match this wc.

Get ready for massive amount of retirement after this

 

[randomcricketfan]

How is bhuvi bowling at 143 something must be wrong with speed gun and another dumb decision by faf to bat first it’s swinging

We are not taking about trundlers like hasan ali here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Who is their 3rd pacer?

Sir Hardik Pandya

 

[Mean&Green]

Bhuvi doesn’t even swing his arm fully no way that’s 142 how on earth can he be bowling quicker than bumrah

 

[NeVerMind]

That was good captaincy by Kohli to put himself at 3rd slip.

3 slips...hardly see that these days...

 

[volcyz]

Sanjay Manjrekar is the most annoying commentator

 

[RamLakhan]

That's a great field placing for DeKock! Have to give it when its done well...

 

[Mkumar825]

Some people now finding excuse like why faf batting first ..if India won the toss chose to field first ,I can guarantee people started crying already due to lost of toss .

 

[Mean&Green]

We are not taking about trundlers like hasan ali here.

Hasan Ali bowls quicker way quicker than bhuvi lmao

 

[Hasan123]

3 slips...hardly see that these days...

That's why it was good captaincy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah's first world cup game. Great debut in world cup

 

[Mr Crickekter]

In all matches pitches were not so much supportive for fast bowlers..........
But today ICC have made special efforts..... For making India champions

 

[Usman Chadda]

We are not taking about trundlers like hasan ali here.

Start watching matches other than India's, or keep quiet

 

[Red Devil]

Not sure why they batted first here lol.

 

[Mainul]

I would say Australia is overall better while we are tied with South Africa.

Australia don't have any mystery spinners like Chahaal and Yadav. If Shamir gets in place of Vubi, India's bowling will be unparallel. SA' s bowling don't have any X factor and not extraordinery

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bumrah’s balls man, he releases balls like a tracer bullet

 

[Shoaib88]

Shami and Bumrah should start for India. Jadeja needs to replaced by another seamer.. Saini/Ishant should do.

actually, Jadeja can make it in the team on batting alone considering his form lol, he could replace kedhar jadhav.

 

[Mainul]

Not sure why they batted first here lol.

They lost 2 matches while chasing

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Need to get these 2 and Miller in the next 20 overs .

 

[Mkumar825]

In all matches pitches were not so much supportive for fast bowlers..........
But today ICC have made special efforts..... For making India champions

Just like Pak vs WI match

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not sure why they batted first here lol.

Imagine this happening when they chase 250 SA is not a good chasing unit in the world cup. They implode.

 

[786pk]

Who wins the toss in the WC in overcast conditions and decides to bat first. SA has lost it completely.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

In all matches pitches were not so much supportive for fast bowlers..........
But today ICC have made special efforts..... For making India champions

So pitches that support fast bowlers are good for India but not SA?

 

[Hasan123]

1 thing that has disappointed me about South Africa is that they don't know their best 11. Usually they are excellently prepared for the WC. Doesn't seem that way this time.

JP,Amla ,Faf,Tahir ,and Steyn will all be gone after this tournament in ODIs. A big rebuild awaits South Africa.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Faf is the technically most sound batsman in their line up. He is playing out Bhumrah rightfully.

 

[systemsrocket]

Start watching matches other than India's, or keep quiet

We watch the match and know how hasan ali has become a meme cricketer so please don't go off topic and let us leave this thread for the match

 

[Mainul]

Boomrah's bowling is very effective for his team , but his bowling action isn't eye pleasing at all for the expectators. I am missing Dale Steyn here

 

[PakLFC]

Stupid decision to bat first in overhead conditions. RSA now need to play Bumrah out. He is India's greatest bowling threat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the second highest scoring ground after Trent bridge in recent times.

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhar is going to struggle so hard against Bumrah unless Bumrah does a no ball again.

 

[Mr Crickekter]

Now a days our gully mohalla team can also beat South Africa..... So nothing extraordinary done by Mr No Ball Bumrah....
The real test of Indians will be against England, newzeland, Australia, Pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stupid decision to bat first in overhead conditions. RSA now need to play Bumrah out. He is India's greatest bowling threat.

You missed the toss then lol It was bright and sunny when the toss happened. Cloud came later. But Indians don't have clouderson to exploit these conditions. None of them are out and out swing bowlers. I have rarely seen Indians do well in these conditions.

 

[Usman Chadda]

1 thing that has disappointed me about South Africa is that they don't know their best 11. Usually they are excellently prepared for the WC. Doesn't seem that way this time.

JP,Amla ,Faf,Tahir ,and Steyn will all be gone after this tournament in ODIs. A big rebuild awaits South Africa.

Injuries haven't helped their prep. Three of their four frontline pacers are not available. The fifth went fishing for more money.

Feel sorry for them tbh.

 

[Khanusman1]

This match will be boring. SA will get murdered. More interested in BD V New Zealand, will be an intense match but expect NZ to edge it

 

[DRsohail]

Bumrah’s balls man, he releases balls like a tracer bullet

People here would not like but how he generates such pace with almost no run up?? Something related to his action??

 

[AdamM97]

Now a days our gully mohalla team can also beat South Africa..... So nothing extraordinary done by Mr No Ball Bumrah....
The real test of Indians will be against England, newzeland, Australia, Pakistan

Nah Bumrah is very good, other teams need to find a way to counter attack against Bumrah.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Fakhar is going to struggle so hard against Bumrah unless Bumrah does a no ball again.

Fakhar, Babar and Imam will be swallowed by Bumrah

 

[Shoaib88]

In all matches pitches were not so much supportive for fast bowlers..........
But today ICC have made special efforts..... For making India champions

Shouldn't ICC make it spin friendly pitches for India?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now a days our gully mohalla team can also beat South Africa..... So nothing extraordinary done by Mr No Ball Bumrah....
The real test of Indians will be against England, newzeland, Australia, Pakistan

NZ couln't handle Bhuvi and Shami in NZ lwhen Bumrah didn't play. What are the odds they will handle bumrah. Bumrah toyed with Australia in Australia. Bumrah hasn't had a consistent run against England yet. Last time he missed out.

 

[Usman Chadda]

We watch the match and know how hasan ali has become a meme cricketer so please don't go off topic and let us leave this thread for the match

Well, if you did, you would know better than to post that rubbish. Now keep quiet before I make a meme out of you here

 

[todfod 11]

Hasan Ali bowls quicker way quicker than bhuvi lmao

135 bolts ) people living in dreamland

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Fakhar, Babar and Imam will be swallowed by Bumrah

Babar's credentials will be tested against Bumrah for sure. Really waiting for it!

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhar, Babar and Imam will be swallowed by Bumrah

Babar will do well, Imam too. It’s mostly Fakhar i’m certain about since gets outside edge all the time.

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent ball.

 

[Mainul]

1 thing that has disappointed me about South Africa is that they don't know their best 11. Usually they are excellently prepared for the WC. Doesn't seem that way this time.

I am afraid that SA's fate may follow Srilanka. They are already mentally down and it is very difficult to replace players of these Calibre

 

[jnaveen1980]

Faf is doing the right thing. Pandya is the weak link. They can target him.

 

[Mean&Green]

Kk saf are done getting owned by dibbly dobbbler kumar

 

[jnaveen1980]

If the pitch has bounce, they will play 3 seamers. All of them Bumrah, Shami, Bhuvi.

 

[Hasan123]

Injuries haven't helped their prep. Three of their four frontline pacers are not available. The fifth went fishing for more money.

Feel sorry for them tbh.

I think they carried to many injured and old players for this tournament.

I don't see them making this mistake in 2023. They wont invest in any players who won't make the team in 2023 after this tournament.

 

[Shoaib88]

How did Bhuvi get so much pace all of sudden? never seen him bowling 140+ before...

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Kk saf are done getting owned by dibbly dobbbler kumar

Hes bowling 140 plus

 

[Babbar]

And to imagine that India’s top wicket taking bowlers have not yet come - Chawla and Chahal. Indian fast bowlers are just there to take the shine off the red cherry.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kk saf are done getting owned by dibbly dobbbler kumar

Do you watch? He is faster than Bumrah today average speed.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

I am afraid that SA's fate may follow Srilanka. They are already mentally down and it is very difficult to replace players of these Calibre

Very interesting that the downfall of these two good teams coincided with the rise of Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Cricket is a great leveller.

 

[Mean&Green]

135 bolts ) people living in dreamland

Look at the speeds for last game average speed was 142 I don’t know what you’re talking about

 

[Usman Chadda]

I am afraid that SA's fate may follow Srilanka. They are already mentally down and it is very difficult to replace players of these Calibre

Highly doubt it. They get three of their four injured pacers back, and they are right up there with the best pace bowling attack in world cricket.

 

[Hasan123]

I am afraid that SA's fate may follow Srilanka. They are already mentally down and it is very difficult to replace players of these Calibre

Markham
De Kock
Van Der Dussen
Malan

That's a strong top 4

Rabada,Ngdi,and Nortje is a strong attack.

South African cricket will be fine. PP experts don't need to worry about South African cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Van der dussen is a good batsman. I like his confident approach.

 

[Mueez]

Amir and Shaheen will rip apart South Africa.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

And to imagine that India’s top wicket taking bowlers have not yet come - Chawla and Chahal. Indian fast bowlers are just there to take the shine off the red cherry.

Sorry but Piyush Chawla is not in the playing XI. Infact he is not in the World Cup squad either.

 

[Mainul]

I hope and pray that Boomrah becomes unfit before match against us. He is so lethal against left handers and we have 3 in our top orders!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Markham
De Kock
Van Der Dussen
Malan

That's a strong top 4

Rabada,Ngdi,and Nortje is a strong attack.

True. In world cup even with better teams they have lost to Bangladesh. You should just ignore world cup matches of SA. They get nervous They make a meal of simple things. Game is not over yet here. So let us not get ahead of ourselves. India could get bwoeld cheaply as well.

 

[Hasan123]

South Africa always have the edge over India in bilaterals but in tournaments India always seem to come out on top.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

vn der Dussen look is looking solid. I've never seen anyone in RSA apart from Smith and Kallis so confident under pressure.

 

[AdamM97]

Markham
De Kock
Van Der Dussen
Malan

Rabada,Ngdi,and Nortje is a strong attack.

South African cricket will be fine. PP experts don't need to worry about South African cricket.

South Africa won the series against Pakistan 3-2 due to rain. Against PAKISTAN, a country that has struggled for a while. I’d say South Africa is not as good anymore.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Bhuvi can swing somewhat. But this is not a swing bowling unit like Zaheer, Nehra, Irfan.

Bhuvan's been passenger since CT 2017....bowls his 135 kmph pies that dont swing...he better deliver big time very soon...else he's gone...

 

[Mean&Green]

Do you watch? He is faster than Bumrah today average speed.

Yeah exactly can you imagine how on earth can he be be bowling quicker than bumrah it looks impossible

 

[Red Devil]

Imagine this happening when they chase 250 SA is not a good chasing unit in the world cup. They implode.

The conditions won't stay the same, especially if the sun comes out.

 

[jagatk]

Even I was surprised at his "Toss" decision! I was actually nervous with Indians batting first! Now its fine actually!

Tbf to staffers they have chased twice conceding 300+ everytime, don't think they would ever chase here unless it was a green pitch.

 

[systemsrocket]

Well, if you did, you would know better than to post that rubbish. Now keep quiet before I make a meme out of you here

Nah given how your hasan ali has been smashed to oblivions and has been shown his place in his home. I guess you shouldn't be talking about others pacers.

Now you can go on and try to make a meme of myself because that is the only thing pakistanis can achieve now a days other than getting one win after being spanked for 12 straight loss.

 

[Hasan123]

True. In world cup even with better teams they have lost to Bangladesh. You should just ignore world cup matches of SA. They get nervous They make a meal of simple things. Game is not over yet here. So let us not get ahead of ourselves. India could get bwoeld cheaply as well.

Game is not over that is a fair point.

South Africa have a mental issue . I think the only way they can overcome that is by winning a knockout game which sadly doesn't seem likely to happen.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yeah exactly can you imagine how on earth can he be be bowling quicker than bumrah it looks impossible

He has quicker release. But bumrah extracts more out of the pitch due to his action.
