India vs South Africa | T20 WC | Group E | Durban | 20/9/07

[RumiNYC]

guys! i'm in a dilemma..who do i root for

 

[Hari Sombar]

out

 

[Islamabadi]

edge and 4

 

[Hari Sombar]

strait to cover, very bad shot from Uthappa

 

[jackal786]

Uthappa gone at the wrong time. Good job Uthappa while it lasted. India has none left. All down to Dhoni and Pathan.

 

[tmac4real]

and uthappa goes. Dhoni has to see this one through. We haven't even hit 70 yet!

 

[12thMan]

Uthapa out ct at midoff by Smith off Morkel
Ind 61-4 after 10.3

 

[jackal786]

SA are resounding favorites.

 

[RumiNYC]

damn you morkel..hate you...india need atleast 130+ ...

 

[jackal786]

Smith looks psychotic !

 

[siddharth]

Smith looks psychotic !

will look more ..while batting

 

[hellopak]

Uthappa gone at the wrong time. Good job Uthappa while it lasted. India has none left. All down to Dhoni and Pathan.

Keep all your hopes from brave pathan and brave sardar mr. Harbajan

 

[jackal786]

ball is rolling.. darn it

 

[sagar]

Ok now Dhoni needs to do Malik here. Come on man do something.

 

[hellopak]

SA are resounding favorites.

You guys will be better off supporting SA or Australia against Pakistan, else stress may cause u guys loose even more flash around your fagile bones.

 

[tmac4real]

fielding placemnet is impeccable.

Ind need to take Philander for 15+ an over. He's theo nly guy their scoring on.

 

[sagar]

Where is Yuvraj and why is he not playing?

 

[jackal786]

India should realistically target 120.

 

[jackal786]

Where is Yuvraj and why is he not playing?

Yuvi has tennis elbow.. that's what he told Shastri in the interview. Not palying While hitting the six off flintoff he did something to his hand.

 

[sagar]

10 an over should get them to 150 from here.

 

[sagar]

Yuvi has tennis elbow.. that's what he told Shastri in the interview. Not palying While hitting the six off flintoff he did something to his hand.

Ooh that's not good.

 

[Hari Sombar]

Ntini on now, oh man

 

[tmac4real]

morkel brothers are quite a find.

 

[dinakar]

I think Indians can start saying good bye to their friends in South Africa... it's all over for us.

 

[tmac4real]

ind have not been able to find the gaps. Sfae to say SA has won this...

 

[Hari Sombar]

whooooooooo 4

 

[tmac4real]

the outfield is quick but SA has fielders in all the right place. Ind need to field exceptionally and bowl even better.

 

[sagar]

Come on Indies, show some heart here.

 

[tmac4real]

that's exactly what you need to do sharma!!!

 

[tmac4real]

outfieldi s quick as hell. Just need to place it right.

 

[sagar]

They should be scoring at much higher rate here now.

 

[tmac4real]

phew i thought that was out for sure.

 

[sagar]

Ok now Dhoni needs to start unloading.

 

[tmac4real]

lol pure slog shot.

 

[Islamabadi]

oh man...south african players are really scared of smith...i like it

 

[sagar]

oh man...south african players are really scared of smith...i like it

They should as he is scary.

 

[Hari Sombar]

wow, nearly out again lol, need `150 !

 

[sagar]

Ok Dhoni come on man, hit some of those boundries you are famous for.

 

[jackal786]

Saffers seem over-eager. Smith is really putting pressure on his fielders. India is benefiting from it.

 

[12thMan]

India getting some much needed luck last over
Ind 97-4 after 15

 

[sagar]

They should be aiming for at least 160.

 

[sagar]

India can't win with just 150.

 

[sagar]

Any guesses for the score?

 

[12thMan]

that high bouncer has to be a no-ball

 

[jackal786]

If they aim for 160 they will be all out for 120. I think they should look at 140

 

[12thMan]

Any guesses for the score?

145-150

 

[Islamabadi]

dhoni needs to keep the strike

 

[sagar]

If they aim for 160 they will be all out for 120. I think they should look at 140

140 is not a good score to win against SA. They need to go for bigger score.

 

[tmac4real]

man dhoni sholda boweld first...

 

[jackal786]

Rohit is a culutured batsman. I don't think he is a slogger. He better goes for shots and gets out.

 

[12thMan]

only 4 from the over. that won't do it. 4 overs left
Ind 101-4

 

[Hash]

India have not got enough here.

 

[jackal786]

man dhoni sholda boweld first...

Smith said they would have batter first because of the nature of the pitch.

 

[sagar]

This Sharma guy is more like Salman Butt of Pakistan. Eating up all the balls.

 

[sagar]

Ok now is a good time for Dhoni to start hitting some big shots. No point in saving wickets now. Only 4 overs left.

 

[jackal786]

sagar, sharma is atleast showing intent unlike Butt.

 

[sohaib17]

15o should be winning score for India



if they bowl well

 

[sohaib17]

6 from Dhoni

 

[tmac4real]

pathan should come in now> he can score faster than both at this point...

 

[sagar]

Ok, I take my words back. He is more like Misbah now.

 

[Plasma]

why was yuvi left out?

 

[Islamabadi]

nice shot dhoni....66666666666

 

[sohaib17]

6 from Sharma

 

[sagar]

Come on Dhoni, SA ko dho ke rakh do.

 

[12thMan]

Smith said they would have batter first because of the nature of the pitch.

don't go by what players say in interviews. It might just be to make Indian team comfortable or if they win the group they will be playing a D/N match here

 

[Hash]

15o should be winning score for India



if they bowl well

150 will be NOWHERE NEAR enough unless South Africa utterly screw up

 

[jackal786]

India should give everything as it could prove to be their last match.

 

[Islamabadi]

6 for sharma

 

[sohaib17]

why was yuvi left out?

he was scared of South Africans bowlers




just kidding injury to his elbow

 

[12thMan]

another six
Ind 125-4 after 17.1

 

[Plasma]

they need a good over of 20 or 25 right about now....

 

[sagar]

Alright, 18 from this over. India need 18 from last three overs each.

 

[Hari Sombar]

edit

4

 

[sagar]

Alright now Sharma is definately India's Misbah in this match and Dhoni playing Malik.

 

[sohaib17]

4 from shrama

 

[Islamabadi]

4 for sharma

 

[sohaib17]

dot ball

 

[12thMan]

NOTICE TO ALL : YUVRAJ HAD GOT TENNIS ELBOW

why was he playing tennis on day of the match

 

[sagar]

Good for Sharma.

 

[Hari Sombar]

what kind of stupid shot was that Sharma ?
