You can argue for the height. Probably would have clipped the bails or slightly missed it. But this was as out as it gets.

Dumily also survived one LBW before.

Haha nope bhai not arguing just saying. Umpiring decisions are part of game. We people on TV saw clearly that it was clear plumb of duminy. But luck wasn't in favor of BK
 
Axar:facepalm: punished by Duminy.Brought Saffers right into the game.

I can't see SA losing this game from such strong position.

Should win it comfortably with few balls to spare.

As somebody mentioned earlier, fast tracking of chinamen bowler like Kuldeep (or any spinner who is doing well domestically) may bolster (might also compliment Ashwin's bowling) this weak Indian bowling.
 
After watching this guy Mohit just wondering, why does he play T20? Is he any good?
 
Once upon a time duminy was a bottler but today well it looks like not india's day :(
 
It's SA's game from here. 2 Settled batsmen against trundlers what else you want?
 
Should have saved Ashwin for this over, like Ajmal was, time and time again by Misbah. Disappointing captaincy from Mr. Forbes.
 
Aravind must be feeling happy that the game is over before he could bowl the last one.
 
Junaid Khan defended 9 runs against Duminy, Miller and McLaren, not too long ago. Can the Indian bowler do the same?
 
I am not going to be surprised if they give MoM still to Rohit instead of Dumminy like they did to Dhoni against Pakistan :p
 
Look at the face of Ravi Shastri....he is about to cry.

India can defend it SA have a habit of not finishing the games after getting near.
 
As expected, Aravind chokes.

115k full toss.

MSD happy that line and length are maintained.

In situations like these, momentum counts a lot. In that innings, the momentum was with us in the last 5 overs, we had kept the RRR in check; especially Ajmal's penultimate over where he conceded 2 runs only. Junaid had to bowl to two new batsmen at the crease.

Here, momentum was with South Africa ins spite of Farhaan playing a customary poor knock, and Duminy is well settled.

Of course Junaid in 2013 was a better bowler than what Aravind is now, but the situation is not comparable.
 
Its obvious that India has to drop Mohit, Aravind and pack the team with spinners.

Ashwin, Mishra and Kuldeep Yadav/Chahal would wreak havoc against Saffers.

Cannot believe that selectors cannot see it.

Game was lost the moment India picked 3 one dimensional trundlers to bowl 12 overs.

Poor finish by India cost the match; South Africa do not choke in bilaterals.
