India beat South Africa in 4th ODI by 35 runs

[Syed2015]

If Harbhajan keeps up like this, and finishes his spell in the same manner, he is bowling now, he will be securing his place for another series.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Surprisingly F Behardien has looked the most reliable batsman in this series for RSA.

 

[zabalestmsm]

de Villiers about to give away his wicket.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

ABD is doing too much dancing in the crease. Just playing into the hands of spinners.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Have you seen Rahane today? He deserve to play as an opener. The one who need to be kicked out is Dhawan.

Rahane will play well today by the looks of it.

Its when he comes at 30-2 or 100-2 in a sluggish pitch or in a decent pitch where bowling is tight....you will see his flaws of not rotating strike come to the fore.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Opportunity missed, should have been taken by the slip. Dravid would have grabbed that 9/10.

 

[Zak_Fan]

If Harbhajan keeps up like this, and finishes his spell in the same manner, he is bowling now, he will be securing his place for another series.

I hope that's not the case and selectors are smart enough to realize that it is the pitch, not Harby.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Abd playing like a tail ender.

2 50s & a 45 in the series. Only time he failed was when Dhoni foolishly sent him down the order.

Ill hope for the same for my Indian friends.

He's like a better version of Shehzad (performance wise not talent wise).

Continuously one thinks the next match he will get over the hurdle and this will be the player we will see moving forward, and then a string of poor matches or selfish innings.

 

[Syed2015]

AB dances way too much before the ball gets delivered

 

[Syed2015]

The spin-attack shows some good work till now.

 

[Thivagar]

When Axar spins like that, you know its a turning pitch.

 

[Enforcer]

It was a sluggish pitch today and he did came to the crease at 35-2. There goes your theory.

 

[Thivagar]

Msihra bowling variations just cause he want to.

 

[Zak_Fan]

AB sweeping a lot.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Mishra not bowling well. His mind seems to be somewhere else.

Probably that assault case on the woman.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Ugly sweeps from AB. Should be playing proper Cricket like Kohli did.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Ugly sweeps from AB. Should be playing proper Cricket like Kohli did.

ABD is opting the safe scoring options. The ball is spinning. So he is sweeping everything.

 

[Thivagar]

Chennai fans got a one sided match today.

 

[zabalestmsm]

The problem with RSA is its lack of batting depth! One wicket and India will win!

 

[Thivagar]

LOL Mishra is so adorable.

 

[Syed2015]

AB AB AB

 

[Thivagar]

Just shut up and keep bowling the orthodox leggie

 

[Ab Fan]

AB will fight it out alone..He will take the game close and throw it just before finishing off...He is very watchful here though...

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

It was a sluggish pitch today and he did came to the crease at 35-2. There goes your theory.

Yeah...one game and goes by theory.

Screws up so many times in the past including QF and SF and Pakistan Asia Cup games....what happ to that?

Don't go by one game bro. Dhoni after 2nd ODI looked all set. But after 2 more ODIs....see how he is performing.

If Rahane has CHANGED HIS GAME then its a different issue. But don't see a changed Rahane. If I do, I will change my opinion GLADLY.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

2 50s & a 45 in the series. Only time he failed was when Dhoni foolishly sent him down the order.

Let's wait and watch bro. If he does well, I will change my opinion.

At No 4, he ain't going to do it.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Just shut up and keep bowling the orthodox leggie

He is trying too many sliders. Normal legspin would get him wickets.

 

[Thivagar]

Who is the other commentator ?

 

[Syed2015]

SA will need to get at least one boundary in every over from now, till going rampant in the last 10-15. But still the key should be, to build a partnership between those two, to relieve the upcoming tail-enders.

 

[Syed2015]

Am i deaf or am i hearing an Azaan in the background?

 

[Syed2015]

Who is the other commentator ?

I think you might mean Anil Kumble, if its not the one with the annoying voice.

 

[Thivagar]

Why did Shane Warne spin the ball so much ? Because he released the ball from front of his hand and he was a front on bowler. Mishra does the samething and this is why Mishra's potential is so high. Obviously then there is Warne's brain.

 

[Thivagar]

I knew I recognized that voice from somewhere.

 

[Zak_Fan]

AB will struggle in Tests. It will not be the same as IPL.

He is trying to mix it up nowadays.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Quite common to hear it in India. A lot of Mosques there.

 

[Critical Analyst]

SA isn't winning this, period.

 

[Acricketfan]

LOL Mishra is so adorable.

Awww

 

[Thivagar]

The crowd seems tired

 

[Acricketfan]

SA isn't winning this, period.

[MENTION=135134]CricketAnalyst[/MENTION] your brother is here.

 

[Thivagar]

Graeme Smith shouldn't have retired so early lol.

 

[Critical Analyst]

Quite common to hear it in India. A lot of Mosques there.

I'm surprised BJP/RSS hasn't banned public azaan already!

 

[Zak_Fan]

India's fielding has been very poor in this match. Missed a lot of opportunities.

 

[Critical Analyst]

[MENTION=135134]CricketAnalyst[/MENTION] your brother is here.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Rubbish fielders all. Another chance spoiled.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Jinx is the nickname of Ajinkya Rahane )

 

[Critical Analyst]

LOL Both teams trying hard to gift it to eachother

 

[Syed2015]

I'm surprised BJP/RSS hasn't banned public azaan already!

Lets not derail this thread on a political stage. Ive got enough of this whole Indo-Pak drama nowadays.

 

[Critical Analyst]

Amateurish stuff from both sides, both trying hard to lose it by providing opportunities to their opponents.

 

[Critical Analyst]

I'm not derailing this thread, just stating the obvious based on what's going on in India atm.

 

[Acricketfan]

IYKWIM

 

[Zak_Fan]

Faf Du Plessis's drama works. Umpire does not give it out this time.

 

[Thivagar]

SS Ravi to be banned now or what ?

 

[battler]

S Ravi strikes again )

 

[zabalestmsm]

That was not out

 

[zabalestmsm]

Why would you attempt a sweep at this moment of the game?????????

 

[Syed2015]

Bad stuff by Behardien.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Got out twice in 2 balls Farhan, still complaining.

 

[Critical Analyst]

LOL S.Ravi making another blunder, guess his leaving was a blessing in disguise, anyway not that it matters as he finally gets his man.

 

[LastManstanding]

India hasn't produced one decent umpire since Venkatraghwan.

 

[Syed2015]

I'm not derailing this thread, just stating the obvious based on what's going on in India atm.

Yeah maybe, but for some people your post may be offensive, as many people nowadays tend to generalize issues existent India.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA lack all rounders down the order

 

[Aviator]

Blatant cheating!!!
Indian umpires must be banned!
If the same thing had happened to indian team....they would have gone begging to icc!!!
Lol

 

[Ozymandiasza]

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

Heh, it's a combination of Ozymandias and ZA. ZA being South Africa's ISO 3166 code.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

AB in "that" mode. Won't be there long now.

 

[Justcrazy]

AB fighting a lone battle

 

[Zak_Fan]

Blatant cheating!!!
Indian umpires must be banned!
If the same thing had happened to indian team....they would have gone begging to icc!!!
Lol

Why would they go begging to ICC for getting decisions in their favor?

 

[Zak_Fan]

AB will hit bowlers out of park now. Ugly inning but could win South Africa the match. Reminds me of Sachin's Mohali knock.

 

[Thivagar]

Good turn by Mishra. India should persist with him till he grows in more confidence.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Good turn but horrible lengths. Hasn't looked too impressive today.

 

[Justcrazy]

AB needs to play a blinder here

 

[Acricketfan]

Heh, it's a combination of Ozymandias and ZA. ZA being South Africa's ISO 3166 code.

Oh. Thanks for the info bro.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bhajji back now.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Morris

This is embarrassing to watch.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Haha... that was a crazy shot !

 

[Abhilash93]

Quite common to hear it in India. A lot of Mosques there.

3 lakhs plus to be precise. So, it is possible one may be there near the stadium.

 

[Thivagar]

That's stylish.

 

[Acricketfan]

lol what was that shot )
