India batting first

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I maintain that the indian team batting looks too weak! 6 batsmen, 2 trundlers and a couple of spinners. Why arent india realizing that theyre going in with a very weak team on paper

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good news for India is, Morkel not playing

 

[Executioner]

I am normally unbiased but I believe that Indian batting order looks weaker than Bangladesh.

We have Tamim, Soumya, Litton, Mushfiq, Riad, Shakib, Sabbir, Nasir. Now Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli are gun players but the rest are out of touch or not decent to begin with.

I think they have some decent youngsters like Pandey, Iyer, Gurkeerat

 

[Justcrazy]

Big toss to win , India ahead now

 

[#GreenRoars]

That was a crunch shot

Morris at seven , SA batting is very weak.

 

[Lords]

I see wasim in stadium. Pakistani media reported that he was forced to leave india.

Anyways good to see him doing commentry

 

[Justcrazy]

SA have gone in with a weakened batting here.

First it was broke by Indian media. And he will leave India after 4th ODI according to reports.

You are not wrong.

This Indian XI is P to the A to the T to the H to the E to the T to the I to the C.

PATHETIC.

Bangladesh XI IS better than this. Not even a doubt.

Rohit is carrying this batting XI.

 

[#GreenRoars]

And Rohit

 

[Justcrazy]

sharma gone

 

[Bullet Drive]

iA Kohli scores a big ton!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I am sorry but this indian team especially the bowling lineup makes me want to puke. No exciting cricketer in this lineup. Hope we lose so we can see some fresh faces and a new captain. Also get rid of these trundlers.

Batting linup is equally puke worthy too.

No changes to the playing XI.

LOL.

 

[Aviator]

Two indian umpires would be there to india's rescue...

 

[Justcrazy]

Solid start by India here , 250 should be enough to win this game

 

[battler]

Dhawan has been absolutely rubbish this series, needs to be dropped.

 

[AlphaFighter]

Shikar Dhawan is such a garbage batsman, not even funny. And this guy was compared to a peak Sehwag.

 

[AlphaFighter]

South Africans have gotten to the Indians, not a single batsman is playing positively or freely.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Dhawan Gone! Indian batting nowadays

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Batting linup is equally puke worthy too.

No changes to the playing XI.

LOL.

What's your and [MENTION=78146]abhishek[/MENTION]93 's opinion on Shikhar Dhawan? He can't even score 15 balls 15 these days. Time to drop him.

 

[Adijazz1706]

The Indian Misbah Arrives

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

What's your and [MENTION=78146]abhishek[/MENTION]93 's opinion on Shikhar Dhawan? He can't even score 15 balls 15 these days. Time to drop him.

Yes....temporarily dropped agreed. Should have been replaced this match itself.

Our discussion was on Shikhar the ODI batsman overall and my point stands.

It always stood.

Raina has been even more garbage in the last 3 games but that doesn't mean he is garbage in general.

Tomorrow Dhawan will strike rich form and Rohit will struggle and people will go after Rohit.

What we need to see is immediate changes and changes for long term betterment.

Rahane, Rayudu, Dhoni are all changes that will help us in the long term.

 

[Abhilash93]

What's your and [MENTION=78146]abhishek[/MENTION]93 's opinion on Shikhar Dhawan? He can't even score 15 balls 15 these days. Time to drop him.

I had suggested resting him for the last 2 ODIs & giving someone like a Mayank Agarwal a chance or letting Rahane open.

 

[Justcrazy]

Styen back , SA need wickets from him

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Good partnership developing here

[marlonbrowndo]

Inshallah kohli gets his form back here. World cricket is better with kohli in form

Amlas been really poor in the field this series

 

[Sandeep]

Inshallah kohli gets his form back here. World cricket is better with kohli in form

What? Why? )

 

[Sandeep]

South Africa is dearly missing Morkel..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What? Why? )

Because hes the second best odi bat in the world when in form and great to watch

 

[Abhilash93]

What? Why? )

What's there to laugh ?

 

[Lords]

Indian team is missing legands and impact players.
Thats why i like 2011 wc tram better

 

[Lords]

I think they were not going to do commentry in mumbai matches only.
Other than mumbai parties no one cares if some one is pakistani or not

 

[Sandeep]

What's there to laugh ?

'World cricket' sounded very funny.. Loads of exaggeration..

 

[#GreenRoars]

Solid rebuilding by India

 

[Sandeep]

2008-11 featured India's best ODI XI ever. Unfair to expect this crap team to perform that way.

 

[zabalestmsm]

The series is levelled. 2-2. And Kohli seems to have found his lost touch.

 

[#GreenRoars]

I hope India won't do tuk tuk in last overs, like they did in previous match.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Well well well, Rahane

 

[Sandeep]

Jinx gone, in coming

 

[Sandeep]

Raina should score a few runs here with Morkel not playing for SA

 

[#GreenRoars]

India should get 300

 

[aniket1911]

And I was thinking kohli the ODI batsman regressed. You just need to change your attitude a bit i guess.

 

[Slog]

How has Kohli played? He's scored runs but is he back to his best or scratchy innings?

 

[street cricketer]

India should get 300

What is the par score for this pitch bro?

 

[Abhilash93]

How has Kohli played? He's scored runs but is he back to his best or scratchy innings?

Looked in sublime touch in whatever I managed to watch. He's nearly there, just a shade below his best perhaps.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Not looking very good for us, I have to say. Need 2 quick wickets here to drag them down a bit, otherwise I predict doom.

 

[Sidilicious]

Kohli struggling in the 90s though

 

[#GreenRoars]

Raina seems in mood today

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hundred for kohli, whattay knock. Sir g control, koi jung nahe jeeti

 

[Executioner]

brilliant innings from Kohli

I dont think SA has the batting to chase this

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another ton for the beast.


The best ever ODI batsman in my opinion.

 

[JibranAnsari]

By the time kohli is 33 he will have broken the sachins record of ODI centuries.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a way to bring it up. He took the fielder on and hit a six. What confidence

 

[zabalestmsm]

I don't get it! Why did RSA drop Morne Morkel? And that too for a decider?

 

[Zak_Fan]

Gets his hundred with a six. Congrats to him.

 

[Zak_Fan]

I don't get it! Why did RSA drop Morne Morkel? And that too for a decider?

Keeping the series alive, on special request maybe.

 

[Abhilash93]

A dominating Kohli hundred in an ODI after a long long time.

Fastest to 23 ODI tons.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Keeping the series alive, on special request maybe.

Well it gives out such impression! Until and unless a valid reason is given

 

[Acricketfan]

I hope you don't mind me asking it , but is the story behind your weirdish user name ?

 

[street cricketer]

The beast back to form!

 

[Zak_Fan]

Kohli's beast mode is on. Expect a double hundred here.

 

[Abhilash93]

I hope you don't mind me asking it , but is the story behind your weirdish user name ?

He is Ozymandias, the king of kings!

 

[Acricketfan]

He is Ozymandias, the king of kings!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Playing like boss right now Kohli.

 

[street cricketer]

Come on Raina! It's your home ground here. Make a big one..

 

[Pantani]

Another ton for the beast.


The best ever ODI batsman in my opinion.

Kohli is a fantastic batsman, but I still think Richards is ahead of him. 47 average, 90 SR. Even today, 25 years or thereabouts since he retired, those numbers are world class and would put him in the top 3 at least. Just imagine what it would have been in the '70s and '80s.
