South Africa beat India by 214 runs and win the series 3-2

[Deewana Mastana]

Gavaskar going crazy over Rabadda

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Raina lol

 

[Lurker_Ind]

MSD will play tuk tuk and claim that the situation demanded him.

 

[DRS]

Looks like we will score 300 and it will be a respectable loss.

No batting post Dhoni.

Loads of respectable records have been broken. Either way.

 

[Slog]

This is what pace can do honestly

One mistake and you have little time to adjust due to the expected pace (even if it is a slower one its a mental thing).

If Raina had made same mistake of moving across against someone like BK, he would normally have been able to readjust and maybe gotten away.

 

[IAJ]

Has Rahane turned a corner in ODIs?

60,45,5,51 and today so far in thise series

Was allways a good batsman, it was only a matter of time he delivered.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abbott SMACKED BY RAHANE

 

[IndianWillow]

375 is respectable loss when the opposition scores 430.

300 is an azzz whooping.

300 won't be bad if they get there. But in a chase like this, things can go wrong quickly - India may fold for 250 and I won't be surprised.

Rahane in BEAST MODE

[Indian_Supporter]

There are 3 stroke makers in this Indian team - Kohli Rohit, Raina. All 3 flopped when we needed them most

Rabada is the new Mohammad Amir. Very talented and can become a great bowler.

I'm right here buddy.

I have said this countless times that Rahane will come good in ODIs. Give him some time.

Such a shame that the clowns in the team can't even stick around to support him. Idiots.

Really feel bad for him.

As i type this , Rahane is gone.

 

[DRS]

Steyn got the wicket. India is being dismantled.

 

[#GreenRoars]

I told my brother earlier that let Rabada, Steyn come and this rahane will be easy wicket.

 

[IgnitedMind]

done for the day!

 

[Belawal2014]

Dam. MSD should just hit out now.

 

[Slog]

Asad can learn a thing or two from him.

he is superior to Asad in both formats.

Steyn takes out Rahane.

Needs to bat at top order.

Not middle order. On a sluggish pitch, he struggles to rotate strike.

Anyways, MIND BLOWING KNOCK.

Defeat was always on the cards.

 

[Juansar_07]

Raina misses Rabada hits.

Spoiler

 

[Varun]

Now have fun with your Axar Patel at #7, MS. Love ya!

 

[DRS]

I told my brother earlier that let Rabada, Steyn come and this rahane will be easy wicket.

They were bashing a spinner on flat decks and being tagged as courages and skill full. Such

 

[Bilal7]

Rahane is a better batsman than Kohli. There, I said it.

 

[Abhilash93]

I told my brother earlier that let Rabada, Steyn come and this rahane will be easy wicket.

He smashed a few off both of them earlier. But the asking rate got to him finally.

 

[Executioner]

Rahane played a brilliant innings, mostly risk free but he just had no choice.

Axar patel has a mammoth Average of 11 in ODIs, and he bats at no. 7. He is a poor man's Jadeja

 

[Thivagar]

LOL another 350+ score. While it isn't a surprise to see 300+ scores and double centuries scored on Indian pitches this one takes the whole bakery lol. 434 in this kinda rule ?

A player becomes good ODI player when he scores on all types of pitch - fast, sluggish, etc and in different situations - easy, pressure,

Great knock no doubt.

 

[Slog]

this could be a 150 run loss

 

[DRS]

India heading towards the most humiliating lost ever. Senas should out shadow the loss by blaming the presence of a player of Pakistan origin.

 

[JaDed]

Well done to Saffers.

 

[Slog]

Axar averages 45 in domestic cricket.

Can he announce his batting arrival?

 

[DRS]

How long before Indians start leaving the ground? Cant wait to see the whingers in them coming out all of a sudden.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Axar averages 45 in domestic cricket.

45 in first class.

24 in List A

Won't be surprised if Dhoni don't take any risks and stays not out till the end.

You have to be a tramp/homeless if you are a poor man's jadeja!!

 

[Abhilash93]

Only one 300+ (303) score in the first 4 ODIs.

 

[DRS]

Won't be surprised if Dhoni don't take any risks and stays not out till the end.

Pointless to take risks as Indians have already lost it. The silence of the crow backs my opinion. Either way, the plan should be to take India to around 280 to add some grace in the chase.

 

[hamzie]

indiaaaaaaa india )

 

[IAJ]

Lucky Dhoni

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Dhoni striking at 44 with 1 catch going down.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Lucky Dhoni

The rest other than Dhoni were wannabees indeed.

He is the KIng.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

We won't reach even 250 from here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

When you select a team like that especially the bowling you deserve to lose like this. Hopefully dhoni will resign from the captaincy and we will get rid of bhuvi, mohit, axar, binny, rayudu, dhawan and bhajji.

 

[rooster]

Time for some average boosting

You can't blame Bhuvi much. Yeah, he was poor today, but he has been decent throughout the series.
As for Dhawan, he is out of form, and will come good.

The others need to go asap.

 

[DRS]

B. Kumar. He at least score 100 with a strike rate of 100+

 

[Slog]

This is pretty humiliating.

These guys should just start slogging wildly and get out in that fashion than stick around and do nothing but extend the misery and embarassment

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Any WK bat can replace Dhoni (of now).

And we have so many hitters to be tested.

Gurukeerat isn't even picked for main XI.

Dhoni is being too stubborn.

 

[Justcrazy]

six down

He is always been stubborn

He has a killer first class record so far. Small sample size though.

Was great in 1 IPL season.

Had some decent domestic stats.

Roped him in and we are getting owned left, right and centre.

Axar Patet is useless.

He needs to be on a fat diet.

 

[DRS]

You can't blame him. He's not a super man. Chasing 239 in 123 ball requires miracle, nothing else could work.

LOL do you only watch India matches ? How many times 300+ have been scored in India again and again over the years ? How many double centuries ? You won't see epic pounding of bowlers like that anywhere else like that in the world.

Indian first class records shouldn't be considered.

VERY VERY DODGY.

Players should be rated by what kind of knocks they played in first class, against which team, which tier.

The overall records must be used to check ONLY consistency. Otherwise should not be considered.

It was good while you lasted (to breathe).

Yet another wicket. How exactly have harbhajan ccontributed?

 

[IAJ]

Mishra to score a ton here

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Steyn to Harbhajan Singh, OUT, tapped away to cover, that's a third for Steyn. It was a short of a length delivery, but Bhajji was into the push a bit too quickly. Ball held up in the pitch and became his downfall.

OF COURSE
