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

[Bilal7]

151 kph. Kohli looks like a rabbit right now. I mean Dhawan.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Rabada 94 MPH.

Indian bowlers can only dream of that.

But wait, Dhoni loves his trundlers.

 

[asif81]

we have seen what kohli can do when he comes in at 175/1 in 25, lets he how he does
chasing at 22/1

 

[Anchorman]

Rabada. 151 kmp/h. Phew.

 

[Syed2015]

5.3

Rabada to Dhawan, no run, 151 kph brilliant delivery! Its a ripper of a bouncer, looking for Dhawan's badge. He is able to sway away just in time. But this is some fierce fast bowling

Rabada becoming quicker with every over.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

One more wicket here and it will be raining bottles on the ground.

 

[Bilal7]

Was that Drought Relief Fund only for specific segments of the Mumbai population?

 

[Indian_Supporter]

The match is already over. Kohli and Dhawan might hit out.

 

[Lords]

05:29 PM
De Kock, De Villiers, Du Plessis all scored centuries. Ravi Shastri forcing Indian batsman to change names to De Raina, De Rahane and Du Dhawan right now.

 

[Anchorman]

Rabada is so impressive.

 

[zabalestmsm]

India must go for it. Give us some entertainment.

 

[Anchorman]

Shot. So are they going to show Anushka everytime Kohli hits a boundary?

 

[IgnitedMind]

awesome shot !

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

In this pitch, runs will come.

But wickets is the KEY.

 

[Bilal7]

Top edge goes for six.

 

[Syed2015]

What a hit by Sher Kohli!

 

[Anchorman]

And Virat departs. What a catch. Horrible shot.

 

[battler]

Kohli

 

[#GreenRoars]

hahaha loving it, After one six kohli was acting like he hit 6 sixes in a row or he hit a double hundred.
And next ball he is out of the ground

 

[Indian_Supporter]

 

[IgnitedMind]

okay.

Done and dusted

 

[Bilal7]

Yeah!!! Mr. Clutch fails against a good bowling attack, yet again.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Bye bye India.

 

[asif81]

poor chap , should have come at 175/1 , so that he could have shown how good a chaser he is

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Rabadadadada and de Kock!

 

[akki]

Yeah!!! Mr. Clutch fails against a good bowling attack, yet again.

Run maar leta toh flat wicket..nahi marta toh nahi thi flat ...kya fark pdta hai..nyway.....sehwag is still not replacable by any of these players...the impact he puts at the top order at the start of innings is just not replacable....

 

[Belawal2014]

Ab to maan jao, ajao UAE

 

[zabalestmsm]

Its over. Not even "prayers" can save India: Arnold [emoji14]

 

[DRS]

Its so unfortunate that RSA doesn't have bowlers who could facilitate the chase as the Indian bowlers did.

 

[Bilal7]

Run maar leta toh flat wicket..nahi marta toh nahi thi flat ...kya fark pdta hai..nyway.....sehwag is still not replacable by any of these players...the impact he puts at the top order at the start of innings is just not replacable....

This pitch is certainly flat, not denying that.

 

[saadsahabjee]

poor chap , should have come at 175/1 , so that he could have shown how good a chaser he is

so true mate

 

[Bilal7]

Ansuhkha, you better run for your lives as Shiv sena may get carried away with that wicket.

Did you hear them booing when she was on screen?

 

[Syed2015]

Poor Kohli

 

[Lords]

Lag gaye, lag gaye. aaj to buri tarah lag gaye.

We will be lucky to score 350 even

 

[akki]

Yeh match vese b win the toss win the match wala hi tha...as it was the case in whole series

 

[DRS]

Did you hear them booing when she was on screen?

I missed it. I bet they have already started considering Anushka as a bad luck charm for kohli.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Free batting practice for all now.

Score nicely and boost up your runs.

No pressure.

 

[Varun]

We are going to lose by ABDeV runs.

 

[akki]

Kaha sachin sehwag yuvi wali team thi....or kaha yeh jokers.....srsly

 

[Juansar_07]

Rohit finds the top edge - Abbott.

Spoiler

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Kaha sachin sehwag yuvi wali team thi....or kaha yeh jokers.....srsly

Now you know how Pakistani fans felt after the 90s

 

[Belawal2014]

You guys really missed Ishant Sharma today.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Rohit finds the top edge - Abbott.

Spoiler

That looked so bad

 

[battler]

India on course to achieve the target of 250 and earn a well deserved moral victory.

 

[street cricketer]

Perfect time for Dhoni to come and play his WC semi final innings

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Kaha sachin sehwag yuvi wali team thi....or kaha yeh jokers.....srsly

Sachin sehwag yuvi would have flopped too chasing 400 too.

Our bowlers were rubbish.

This batting XI is rubbish too that I agree.

 

[street cricketer]

India on course to achieve the target of 250 and earn a well deserved moral victory.

India already achieved the moral victory when the Saffers couldn't reach the highest total ever

 

[zabalestmsm]

India need 200 runs to avoid follow on [emoji14]

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Kaha sachin sehwag yuvi wali team thi....or kaha yeh jokers.....srsly

Dhawa is a good ODI player. He is out of form.

Kohli already peaked in 2012. He will be a very god batsman. But hard for him to produce the magic of 2012.

Rohit is a poor man's Sachin. You never know what to expect from him.

Rahane is not an ODI batsman. Should stick to ODI's.

Raina is still good against mediocre attacks. Against real quicks who can bowl short ball well, he is a sitting duck.

MSD has now become an expert at playing useless knocks. That match winning innings in 2nd ODI is just a fluke. He will score his 40 or 50 runs just to boost his average. He cannot hit the ball.

The rest of the team is just a joke. Nit worth mentioning.

India should not select fast bowlers if their only options are Mohit and Aravind and BK on Indian pitches.

 

[Juansar_07]

Virat follows Rohit - Radaba.

Spoiler

 

[Sidilicious]

So their 5th bowler has bowled 2 overs and they are striking him at 4 RPO. Whom do they plan to hit out against? Rabada and Steyn?

 

[IgnitedMind]

coming of age for Rahane this match...will win it for us !

 

[Syed2015]

Rahane turning it on! Gorgeous straight drive.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

So their 5th bowler has bowled 2 overs and they are striking him at 4 RPO. Whom do they plan to hit out against? Rabada and Steyn?

If India had intention of getting close to the target, Bihardeen would have been taken to the cleaners.

Its clear India do not have it in them to chase this. Just pretending that they are trying by scoring at 5RPO.

They can't anyway once Rohit and kohli were out.
They were the only hope, rest can't do jack.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Rahane will do enough to select him for the next ODI series.

 

[Sidilicious]

Its not the losing part that is annoying. Its how you lose and what you do after that is the worst. Not changing your team even after knowing that the formula is not working is worst.

 

[Bilal7]

So their 5th bowler has bowled 2 overs and they are striking him at 4 RPO. Whom do they plan to hit out against? Rabada and Steyn?

They are treating Steyn as the fifth bowler and playing Farhaan out. Hilarious.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Imran Tahir on now, India should attack him

 

[IndianWillow]

You can't plan a 440 chase. Even if India win they need their share of luck. Since Rohit and Kohli are gone, India is out of this game already. 400+ chases may be approached like a 300-350 target for the first 25 overs - then if the team has wickets in hand and they reach 150-200 in 25, they will have to get 10rpo in the last twenty five to win.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Its not the losing part that is annoying. Its how you lose and what you do after that is the worst. Not changing your team even after knowing that the formula is not working is worst.

As long as MSD is the captain, he will continue to chose the team from his small circle in . New talent has no chance.

The same XI will be playing ODI's and T20's. No firepower and no mystery bowlers given a chance.

The selection of Mohit baffles me. What does selectors and captain see in him is beyond me. He went at 12RPO today. He is lucky that he only bowled 7 overs. Had he completed his quota, he would have gone for over 130 for sure.

 

[Belawal2014]

Zak looking overweight.

 

[street cricketer]

Atleast this game will serve to bring Rahane back to form ahead of the Test series.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Zak at the ground.

 

[akki]

Axar....dhawan.....mohit sharma......yeh 3 toh rahe faltu......dhoni ka hogya time pura......rohit rohit hi hai.....bhuvi ki swing khatam....kohli actor banne wala hi.....raina short ball ka apaahij..is team ko india a easily hra sakti hai...i bet...100 crorw ki janta me se bhi aise log ko khilaoge so isse acha....maala japo or cricket ko serious lena bnd kro

 

[Justcrazy]

Good partnership developing.

 

[Strike Rate]

Yeh thread dusri innings main itna soona soona or khamosh kyun lag raha hai bhai logo yahan kuch hua he kia? [emoji1]

 

[Executioner]

India are actually doing well here

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate over 10 now.

 

[Sidilicious]

India are actually doing well here

Its such a flat pitch, that 300 is expected even if you bowl well. If they score less than that, it would be because of the scoreboard pressure.

 

[JibranAnsari]

whats the point of playing bahardien.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Yeh thread dusri innings main itna soona soona or khamosh kyun lag raha hai bhai logo yahan kuch hua he kia? [emoji1]

Silence after the storm

 

[Sidilicious]

Also, to be noted is the fact that in this series, no team has won a game chasing.

 

[#GreenRoars]

India is going good atm.

 

[Strike Rate]

Itna sannaata kyuj he yahan

 

[Justcrazy]

for Dhawan.

 

[street cricketer]

Of all the matches, Rahane has chosen to play positively in this match...

 

[Strike Rate]

whats the point of playing bahardien.

South africa have a quota system they cant play all whites

 

[Strike Rate]

Silence after the storm

Lol acha

 

[Lurker_Ind]

India needs to be at 7 RPO at the end of 40 overs with 7 wickets remaining. Then only they can win this.

At the moment, India will score about 300 with a couple of guys scoring in high 80's.
