India (237/3) beat South Africa (221/3) by 16 runs in the 2nd T20I in Guwahati

[MP2011]

When will these dinosaurs leave our LoI cricket?

 

[MP2011]

So satisfying to see Harshal being tonked.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Bavuma has no place in t20 side. qdk is very much a timid kitten when he's needed the most.

 

[MP2011]

I find Arshdeep overrated as hell.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

So satisfying to see Harshal being tonked.

Just before this match Harshal was saying that he has found his rhythm in the last couple of matches.

 

[MP2011]

We were not too far ahead of SA at this stage, just 8 runs ahead.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

We were not too far ahead of SA at this stage, just 8 runs ahead.

Yeah. They can still win with Miller and QDK.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SA - 143. India were 155 at this stage.

 

[MP2011]

Just before this match Harshal was saying that he has found his rhythm in the last couple of matches.

Lol, the rhythm guy getting tonked mercilessly.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Miller is giving a phainta to Harshal and company

 

[MP2011]

Whosoever sees any quality in this trundler is simply blind.

 

[MP2011]

Agarkar saying this trundler's go to ball is slower ball.

Lol, as if anyone can bowl any slower than what he is doing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Miller was the only one who could do it. He has done it several times in IPL. Today might be his day. India has no death bowling option. Also a bowler short.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Miller is a man of impossible things.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Agarkar saying this trundler's go to ball is slower ball.

Lol, as if anyone can bowl any slower than what he is doing.

This is one of the most t argetable bowling line up you want to have. Nobody can bowl well in death bar Arshdeep. So he must get a good over here somehow

 

[MenInG]

Fifty from David Miller
Fifty from Quinton de Kock

South Africa keeping the fight on

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Miller was the only one who could do it. He has done it several times in IPL. Today might be his day. India has no death bowling option. Also a bowler short.

This is why playing two wicketkeepers is a bad idea.

 

[Grunge101]

80 off 4, SA have an outside chance

 

[MP2011]

This is one of the most t argetable bowling line up you want to have. Nobody can bowl well in death bar Arshdeep. So he must get a good over here somehow

Imagine what would have happened had SA didn't have a brain fade during our innings.

We might have lost this game due to these trundlers.

 

[JaDed]

QDK is losing this

 

[MP2011]

This is why playing two wicketkeepers is a bad idea.

It always is.

You remember we played 3 WKs in game as important as ODI WC SF!

You can't get dumber than that.

 

[MP2011]

Good bowling by Chahar.

 

[Grunge101]

Chahar making a strong case for himself. 24 off 4 is quite extraordinary to be honest considering the scores

 

[MP2011]

More leg side dross from the trundler. Cherry on top it was a full toss too.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dekock is remotely close to his best. Still managed to make up somewhat. He is tired and totally wiped out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

94% humidity. It is going to be energy sapping for players.

 

[Rohan]

It always is.

You remember we played 3 WKs in game as important as ODI WC SF!

You can't get dumber than that.

We had 4 if you consider KL as well plus MSD, Pant, DK

At that time (2019) I was discussing with my friends regarding options such as Samson, Iyer, SKY, Gill

I will never forgive Kohli for that selection blunder.

Also, not sure Rahul was part of our ODI XI in that WC.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Arshdeep's no-ball issue continues. This is like 3rd noball. That is criminal in a T20.

 

[MP2011]

Another no ball, another free hit. All 3 occasions, Arshdeep was the culprit.

 

[MP2011]

Arshdeep's no-ball issue continues. This is like 3rd noball. That is criminal in a T20.

He is overrated as hell. Just another trundler.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Overrated Arshdeep. 3rd noball and then six.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And now wide

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a change of expression from Rohit Sharma.

 

[Rohan]

I will never forgive Kohli for that selection blunder.

Also, not sure Rahul was part of our ODI XI in that WC.

We did dig our own grave with selection blunder in that WC

 

[MP2011]

Another boundary off the trundler. 56 runs conceded with a delivery still left.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has become too casual and lethargic in the end overs. Took it for granted. wides, noballs,

 

[MP2011]

62 conceded by the trundler in his 4 overs

We are digging our own grave by giving chance after chance to this trundler brigade.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Arshdeep is just casual and pathetic. Can't forget that dropped catch and now this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India may have issues in world T20. Inexperienced. Lack pace. Mostly relies on variation.

 

[JaDed]

QDK is responsible for this loss, Miller played amazingly

 

[MP2011]

India has become too casual and lethargic in the end overs. Took it for granted. wides, noballs,

Poor from Rohit, he is a big disappointment as an international skipper.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both Miller and QDK have played blinders in the IPL many times. So no surprise here against this bowling. But still India should have defended much more comfortably.

 

[Rohan]

Chalo, spinner to at least no ball nahi dalega

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Thank god we didn't send Pant ahead of Karthik today. We would have surely lost this match had we sent him above Karthik. Karthik's cameo in the end is going to save us today.

 

[MP2011]

Arshdeep is just casual and pathetic. Can't forget that dropped catch and now this.

He is as ordinary as anyone we have ever fielded.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

666 by Miller

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another 666

 

[JaDed]

top 100 this one! Superb one, crowd applauding coz they love him as wel!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Century for Miller

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well done Miller. ENtertaining knock. In the arc out of the park.

 

[MP2011]

We are almost as pathetic as SA were with ball. Just that they had to chase and had Bavuma as a handicap at the top of order.

 

[JaDed]

We are almost as pathetic as SA were with ball. Just that they had to chase and had Bavuma as a handicap at the top of order.

QDK should had played faster too but yeah Bavuma lmao

 

[ezhil]

India bowling well

 

[MP2011]

And we win by 16 runs.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Patel exposed too. He is going to get a phainta in Australia.

 

[JaDed]

Rohit is not happy , good your team is absolute trash.
No one is happy on ground for obvious reasons.

 

[jnaveen1980]

With heavy dew from the outset gripping the ball was a tough job for everyone.

 

[MP2011]

QDK should had played faster too but yeah Bavuma lmao

How can any T20 team have Bavuma as their captain and that too as an opener, is beyond me!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

How can any T20 team have Bavuma as their captain and that too as an opener, is beyond me!

Quota captain and player.

 

[ezhil]

Another 4-5 balls pending,Ind would have lost ..

 

[MP2011]

With heavy dew from the outset gripping the ball was a tough job for everyone.

Yeah, Guwahati is a poor place to play any form of cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We are almost as pathetic as SA were with ball. Just that they had to chase and had Bavuma as a handicap at the top of order.

Unfair to compare chahar/Arshdeep/patel/Axar vs Nortje/Rabada/Ngidi/Maharaja. SA has a much better bowling attack. Indian line up is rookie line up also lacks experienced death bowing option. Also ball was even wetter in the 2nd half. Still cerdit to Chahar for landing yorkers with wet ball with precision.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

And we win by 16 runs.

Karthik's cameo in the end saved us.

 

[JaDed]

Yeah, Guwahati is a poor place to play any form of cricket.

Day games..

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Rubbish captaincy I ever seen.
Absolutely rubbish from Rohit.

Thanks De Kock you saved us.

 

[MP2011]

Patel exposed too. He is going to get a phainta in Australia.

Poor bowling from him, took it for granted.

 

[JaDed]

How can any T20 team have Bavuma as their captain and that too as an opener, is beyond me!

Yeah Markham and Miller would had finished it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India will struggle in OZ vs SA.

 

[daytrader]

India wins by 16 runs. Great century by Killer Miller chasing a mammoth total

 

[jnaveen1980]

Poor bowling from him, took it for granted.

Axar patel vs left hander in 20th over with wet ball, lol that is a certain recipe for disaster. I won't be hard on him there. india was a bowler short with no Pandya. So they had to use all the bowlers.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Anyway, it was still an impressive win when you consider the fact that it got even harder to bowl I the 2nd innings here. Ball was coming on beautifully.

Well done, team India

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the first T20 series win against SA at home for india. Mind-boggling fact.

 

[MP2011]

Anyway, it was still an impressive win when you consider the fact that it got even harder to bowl I the 2nd innings here. Ball was coming on beautifully.

Well done, team India

I agree. Overall impressive performance in yet another bilateral series.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Paisa vasool match. Lot of big hitting. Crowd must have enjoyed.

 

[MP2011]

Axar patel vs left hander in 20th over with wet ball, lol that is a certain recipe for disaster. I won't be hard on him there. india was a bowler short with no Pandya. So they had to use all the bowlers.

True that.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I agree. Overall impressive performance in yet another bilateral series.

Yeah. We are an exceptionally dominant t20 side in bilateral t20s. Destroyed NZ, OZ, ENG even in their backyards.

Just can't seem to get it together for tournaments lately

 

[ezhil]

One of the most boring t20 and totally loaded in favour of batting....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yeah. We are an exceptionally dominant t20 side in bilateral t20s. Destroyed NZ, OZ, ENG even in their backyards.

Just can't seem to get it together for tournaments lately

I would put t hat down to lack of depth both in bowling and batting.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Strong bowling side will win as always. I would rather depend on good bowelrs than good batsmen. if a bowler makes a mistake he can come back. I don't like the idea of depending on winning battathons.
