What an irony. Isn't it?

 

[desi_launda]

why are they not showing the pace?

 

[anuk]

He's not. What you smoking bro?

okay. the fact that he is allowed to cheat cos he's indian is still a disgrace though

 

[anuk]

What an irony. Isn't it?

why do u say that?

 

[Bilal7]

Don't want the Indian bowlers to feel bad.

 

[Enforcer]

Dhawan is just a 3rd class T20 opener. We should have gone with mayank.

 

[desi_launda]

whatta shot by Rohit

 

[Bilal7]

Without Steyn and Morkel, South Africa's attack seems pretty awful.

 

[desi_launda]

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Dhawan is just a 3rd class T20 opener. We should have gone with mayank.

Dhawan is decent n T20's. He is a better ODI opener.

I agree that Mayank should have gotten a chance.

 

[desi_launda]

idiotic run

why is it an embarrassment? do u really think it's a big deal if i mistake one chucker axar for another in a mickey mouse t20?

 

[aniket1911]

Abdv keeping ? Its torture not to see him field.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

There you go.

1 wicket wasted.

 

[Bilal7]

Lol, ABD's face! That was close.

 

[giri26]

Now he runs out Dhawan Hope Rohit scores big in this game.

 

[Dee1990]

Rohit is such a clown!

 

[Enforcer]

Relieved that Dhawan is gone, and we are saved from a typical 30(30) kind of innings from Dhawan.

 

[Enforcer]

Rohit is an intelligent clown!

corrected!

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Relieved that Dhawan is gone, and we are saved from a typical 30(30) kind of innings from Dhawan.

You need that kind of innings. Our batting is paper thin. Only 4 batsmen playing.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good bouncer.

Teams

India (probable): 1 Ajinkya Rahane, 2 Shikhar Dhawan 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Suresh Raina, 5 MS Dhoni (capt, wk), 6 Rohit Sharma, 7 Stuart Binny, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Axar Patel/Harbhajan Singh, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Mohit Sharma/S Aravind

South Africa (probable): 1 AB de Villiers, 2 Quinton de Kock (wk), 3 Faf du Plessis (capt), 4 JP Duminy, 5 David Miller, 6 Farhaan Behardien, 7 Chris Morris, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 Kyle Abbott, 10 Marchant de Lange, 11 Imran Tahir

Why is Dhoni still playing T20's

Because he quite Tests to do so and he is the captain?

 

[Enforcer]

We need to bring Raina as quickly as possible.

 

[desi_launda]

144.6 kmph by Rabada

 

[anuk]

rayadu is the other filthy chucker in the indian side right now

 

[zabalestmsm]

Chris Morris will be the one to watch out for.

 

[giri26]

These two along with Raina are our best T20 bats. If they don't get a partnership going we will end up with 120-130 score.

 

[Enforcer]

Because he quite Tests to do so and he is the captain?

But he is an useless T20 player in the first place. Probably more useless than in Tests!

 

[zabalestmsm]

How can some people live with tattoos? :/

 

[Nikhil_cric]

De Lange 148 kph.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

MSD is an average T20 player. Someone like Parthiv is more useful than MSD in T20's.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Again 148.7.

 

[anuk]

gavaskar is just so out of touch with the modern game. i know he's a bcci lackey but it's time to put him out to pasture.

what's bhogle's expertise exactly? just seems to chat non-stop to hide his inadequacies as an analyst.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

SA bowlers bowling good pace. All of them in excess of 140k's.

 

[desi_launda]

poor run rate,need to slog hard

Bhogle is not there as an expert analyst. He is a moderator for experts.

 

[Enforcer]

South Africa are stuffed with fast bowlers and we have trundlers to show. Dhoni and his passion for trundlers

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Very slow start.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Why Africa is sticking with Behardein seriously?

 

[anuk]

Bhogle is not there as an expert analyst. He is a moderator for experts.

does that mean he has to chat non stop? does he ever shut up?

 

[zabalestmsm]

South Africa wasted Rusty Theron. He was better than this Lange. And was quick too.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

MSd should only play ODI's. He is a very average T20 player. He struggles in this format as he cannot accelerate from the get go.

u don't exactly have de langes languishing in fc cricket

 

[Enforcer]

Ro sharma need to his bring IPL form.

 

[desi_launda]

rohit what a pull

 

[Enforcer]

u don't exactly have de langes languishing in fc cricket

Still we have two 145+ ks fast bowlers, who should have been selected

 

[#GreenRoars]

And Tahir is on

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Sharma is the best player of pull shot that India had in the past 2 decades. He is even better than Sachin in executing it.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Only fe Lange is bowling above 140 kph on average.

 

[Enforcer]

RO sharma is talented and that is the proof!

 

[#GreenRoars]

South Africa wasted Rusty Theron. He was better than this Lange. And was quick too.

Good point, especially in death overs. His yorkers were good

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Aaron and Yadav.

 

[Enforcer]

Taahir Bhai vs Kohli will be interesting

 

[desi_launda]

Any update about Shami's injury?

 

[Lurker_Ind]

India needs to up the RR some where around 8.5.

Anything less than 190 on this pitch is dicey.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Kohli us middling the ball well. Good signs.

 

[Bilal7]

That Tendulker guy needs a new job. Let Sachin go, he's retired.

 

[Juansar_07]

Dhawan RunOut - Miller

Spoiler

 

[desi_launda]

classy by Kohli

 

[Enforcer]

Any update about Shami's injury?

Almost fit. Working on his fitness at NCA. Bowling with a shorter run up as of now.

 

[battler]

Ok kohli has faced 8 balls and scored only 7.
Time to get a move on son.

 

[Abhilash93]

Any update about Shami's injury?

He is bowling at full tilt now but they probably dont want to rush him for LOIs. Likely to play Tests.

 

[Bilal7]

The Indian crowd almost always acts like the 12th man. Morris is clearly struggling to cope with all thee pro-Indian noise.

He seems to be ruffled by the pressure from the batsmen as well as the crowd.

In short, can't handle the pressure like a typical Saffer

 

[#GreenRoars]

Rohit on fire

 

[giri26]

Kohli is an underrated T20 bat. He averages 46 with a SR of 131.

I think it is a 22,000 odd capacity stadium. Next match is at Barabati stadium (in my home town ) and the capacity is 50,000. Just imagine the scenario!

 

[desi_launda]

Runs flowing now

 

[Bilal7]

Jokes aside, it must be really difficult to stay in your zone when the entire stadium is with the opposition and against you. I'm surprised that Rabada has bowled well.

 

[Enforcer]

The pitch is a beauty, they should score as much as they can.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They say this guy is the next ATG pacer from SA. He certainly seems talented. I wouldn't judge him by his performance in this match but he's one to look out for in the future.

 

[Bilal7]

Would be amazing for the Indians and intimidating for the Saffers. Will also make it difficult to hear what your batting partner is saying so I expect at least a couple of run-outs.

 

[giri26]

India always does well in the first 10, it is the last 10 they struggle. Raina needs to click, otherwise we will struggle to post a good total. Dhoni isn't great in T20.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

The pitch is a beauty, they should score as much as they can.

190 is a minimum on this pitch.

 

[desi_launda]

for Rohit

 

[ChachaCricket]

Why are these trundlers bowling short? It's coming nicely on to the bat.

 

[anuk]

Aaron and Yadav.

might as well hand the victory to sa right now then

 

[desi_launda]

Rohit smashing it now
