What's new

South Africa beat India by 7 wickets in 1st T20I

Conditions are awful. Edges go for fours. 100 per cent batsman biased. It doesnt helps that indian bowlers are the one bowling. :))

phattas in india well nothing new there i was curious how Rohit got a 100 against SA bowling well i got my answer i guess
 
Man the world cup is going to be in these conditions... We really need some explosive openers.
 
Still think India will win this. Once AB goes, SA will find a way of screwing this up.
 
I can't watch the match following on cricinfo is this really amla with a strike rate of 180? how did he achieved that lol?

he bats at a very high SR tbh

he averages 50 at 90 SR in ODIs if im not wrong.

For some odd reason he has that image of a slow batsmen but its not the truth

he chokes in big matches though

we might get clobbered if we dont get to 180 each match which I dont think out batsmen have capability of reaching regardless of conditions and opposition bowling attack

Yes in ODI he do but in T20 he do look uncomfortable at times because he don't slog that's why he don't often bat with around 150 SR in T20s
 
Dont worry. In such conditions anyone can become explosive.

I think we should keep mutkhar and nauman in the squad.

Yeah, Nauman needs to be included asap.. He has potential but he'll need some time to settle in international cricket.
 
I want Amla to get a T20I 100 today that will be the height of trolling indian bowlers in india :))
 
When Rohit scored 100, they went aaaahh!!! wooo!!!

Now
Rakesh: "The ICC and the cricket board's are completely destroying the game of cricket and the natural balance between bat and ball by simply loading the Pitches, bats, rules in favour of the batsmen just to suit television, turning it into a mindless bowler bashing exercise than a contest of skill between bat & ball."
 
How does Laxman Sivasomethingsomething still have a job as a commentator. Is it some Tamil quota? :))
 
SA winning this inside 15 overs. Culprits - Dhoni and his love for trundlers.

Expected. Dont be surprised.
 
Man with the Plan - Super Ashwin is ONNNN
 
Both spinners are being used in tandem, at last. But it is too little, too late now. Damage's already been done in the powerplay.
 
Bad thing for Indian bowlers is almost all top teams in the world barring Pakistan have extensive experience of playing them in IPL so know their tricks and style

But on the other hand the Indian bowlers have a ton of experience too
 
Why is AB DeVillers always involved in a runout which ends up chasing the fortune of the game?

Too many needless runouts he has been involved in
 
Spinners will be the key.

If ABD will get out in the next 3 overs, India will be in driving seat.
 
Amla should have run the first one harder. Now, it's going to be tough for the Saffers. The remaining batsmen are not as good against spin.
 
Here we go...

Watching South Africa find a way to screw things up has its own beauty. Poetry in motion almost....of a comical, tragic kind
 
HAHAHA SHOT YAAAAR


Didnt he say it in WC when Sarfaraz hit a SIX against Saffers?
 
Haha so it's confirmed it was Pollock who said "shot yaar" and not Wasim. :))
 
Axar Patel looks like a chooza

he needs to eat a few greasy cheeseburgers and put on some weight
 
Lol yes.

ABD needs to stand on the wicket. He is responsible for amla's wicket.

What the hell does that have to with playing Ashwin? I said in comparison to the lefty, Ashwin will be easier to play because he flights the ball and this surface isn't offering much. So skiddier bowlers like Patel are more difficult to put away.
