India v South Africa | ICC Champions Trophy | 06/06/13 | South Africa Innings

[rooster]

SA doing an England here, respecting part-timers too much.

 

[amax]

this is not a choke 330 is a huge total

 

[Varun]

Realistically, if South Africa didn't run themselves out at crucial moments, they wouldn't have been in this soup they are in now.

RRR: 8.11, four wickets in hand.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Damn those catches just stick unlucky Umesh

 

[WebGuru]

WOW gone for 4

 

[GLORY OF '92]

You got both right!!

Thanks

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Faf Swinging at everything

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

SA still in the game.

India needs one more wicket to seal this off.

2 needed...

 

[soso_killer]

Yep, slog get atleast 250

 

[cricketworm]

Faf going broke! Is paar ya oos paar.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Match will go down the wire.

Pacers back in the game, runs start to flow.

 

[WebGuru]

Anybody with the any news about Morne will he be able to bat?

 

[amax]

real choke was during Pakistan chasing 260 in 2011 WC semifianl.

 

[cricketworm]

Need to get RRR over 9.

 

[soso_killer]

Powerplay is on now... 50+ needed without a wicket lose if they want the game

give it a rest dude

 

[rooster]

Yadav has serious potential!

Something I've noted recently, both Yadhav and Dernbach has similar stats but obviously Yadhav has great potential.

 

[WebGuru]

10 runs in first over of PP they really need 50+ in PP

 

[Buffet]

SA should try to go after spinners to force Dhoni to use fast bowlers. It's easier to score with Yadav's pace. Even mishit is going for 4s.

 

[Grunge101]

Classy from DuP

 

[WebGuru]

give it a rest dude

I swear no jinxing this time...

 

[ads101]

Realistically, if South Africa didn't run themselves out at crucial moments, they wouldn't have been in this soup they are in now.

RRR: 8.11, four wickets in hand.

Tis true.

Though was Petersen up the order a bad idea? Arguably he had the best innings and was unlucky to get out.

 

[HASHAM2]

Yadav has serious potential!

7 Over,s 60 run,s to Econ rate 8.75
Overall played 18 odi Econ rate 6.38
Better econ Rate compare to Dernbach

 

[mithun_minhas]

Faf testing his luck here.

Swinging is the way to go.

 

[Sledger]

Great partnership, only 100 needed from 80 now. There's still life in the match.

 

[Grunge101]

hokay this Mclaren dude can actually bat.the fifty against us was no fluke

 

[OutKast]

India don't deserve anything, let alone a victory.

Why is that? So you can sleep easy?

 

[Abhilash]

Too many runs ffs!!

 

[cricketworm]

McLaren playing a gem here. Need wickets NOW

 

[WebGuru]

Ishant in Powerplay lol

 

[WNC]

If Miller might have hung around, SA might have still been in with a chance.

 

[IAJ]

Run rate is no issue for SA, pity they lost 2 wickets to run out.

 

[Varun]

Okay, this is coming out of nowhere.

Wrap it up NOW.

 

[Grunge101]

I actually see shades of Klusener there..

Plus he seems to have a better technique

 

[mithun_minhas]

I say its a 50-50 game now.

SA scoring at 10 an over without much effort.

 

[Sledger]

Another 4.. wow, if they bat 6 more overs this will be interesting.

 

[asifp]

99 of 78, if more wickets were in hand SA would be favourites.

 

[WebGuru]

I was sure dhoni will try ishant in powerplay...

 

[cricketworm]

LOLShant!

 

[asifp]

What a SHOT!

 

[WNC]

Ishant back to his stock delivery of 120 and less.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ishant sharma will be MOM for SA.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SA are favourites here. Unless Jadeja gets a couple more. Faf and Mclaren are taking the game away.

 

[soso_killer]

SA should be proud of their attempts atleast they did not implode and skittled out under 200.

More positives in this game than the Pakistan one (except the bowling).
Otherwise we were out played by India in all departments. They fielded better, bowled better (spinners) and batted better too. Well done

 

[Grunge101]

50 off 27..where did this come from

 

[WebGuru]

SA tail seems to be small thn others

 

[soso_killer]

For a young team i.e.

 

[Sledger]

Out now.

 

[cricketworm]

YEs yes yes yes!!!

 

[WebGuru]

and goes Du Plessis

 

[mithun_minhas]

ROFL

Lucky wicket for Issshhhhaaaantt!!!

 

[asifp]

useless shot!, game over for sure now.

 

[WNC]

And that's the match.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

and faf throws it away

 

[Boi]

Stupid shot from Faf.

 

[Sledger]

Can Ryan produce a miracle?

 

[Varun]

There's your token wicket for the game, Ishant.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I think its over for SA now.

Will Morne bat? He can use the long handle well.

 

[cricketworm]

Temperament problem for Faf continues.

 

[WNC]

Wait, Kleinveldt can knock a few too. Hope so.

 

[Grunge101]

WTH Faf??..dismissed by IS

Should have sacrificed himself in place of Miller

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

1 wicket aur chatkadoo yaar

 

[Varun]

Faf faffed up a bit there, knocking singles around should've been the name of the game at this stage, with 90 to get off 70.

 

[Red Devil]

With Faf All SA hopes are gone too

 

[WebGuru]

Cricinfo: Luke: "Or not Dale...Gibbs, Kallis have well recorded black marks in these comps (both having contributed heavily to exits). Bouch and Jonty were never game changers and as much as i like Smith he has not turned SAs cup fortunes. Let this lot try..."

 

[soso_killer]

SA tail seems to be small thn others

meh.. I think Miller getting a zero made it smaller than it was. A quick fire 30 from him and this game could look close.

 

[Munna]

Albie Morkel would have been more handy than Rory today for sure!

 

[Grunge101]

SA need Mclaren to pull off a

 

[WebGuru]

I mentioned early this chase will be interesting look at up and downs it seems to be much interesting one...

 

[soso_killer]

Another difference is that there are no pressure players down the order compared to the era of Klusner, Pollock. JP is guilty as hell in that regard

 

[Sledger]

Good effort by SA but at the end of the day chokers gonna choke.

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa require another 92 runs with 3 wickets and 12.0 overs remaining

 

[AfridiRagingBull]

'Choke shot' from Du Plessis.

 

[cricketworm]

I guess Miller's wicket was a massive turning point.

 

[WebGuru]

last 11 balls of powerplay

 

[Justcrazy]

92 is too many for slogging

 

[Grunge101]

beauty by Yadav

 

[Square Drive]

Faf's brainfade lost it for SA.

Need a McLaren special here.

 

[soso_killer]

147K? An Indian lol

 

[Varun]

Tis true.

Though was Petersen up the order a bad idea? Arguably he had the best innings and was unlucky to get out.

Hmm....still got mixed feelings about that one. They were lucky it partially came off.

 

[Square Drive]

Horrible delivery,
