South Africa v England | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | Feb 3, 2016 | England won by 39 runs (D/L method)

[PCP_1]

Heh, Willey coming after Rasheed and Taylor.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

England have a guy who opens for his county coming in at No.10. That is modern cricket.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Should be an interesting run chase for S.A later.

Will not be an interesting chase.

SA have bowled some garbage and additionally other than AB there is no batsman capable of batting at 8 RPO sustainably. By the time AB comes that rate will be even higher.

 

[PCP_1]

Going to be a good competition between Engs Willey and De Cock of SA later. Will give a better measure of both teams.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Get 15 now

lol

 

[#GreenRoars]

400 is still possible.

 

[Dman]

Out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Six and out

Get 9 now Willey

 

[Passionate Observer]

So many boring contests lately.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Expecting a good chase attempt from SA.

 

[Dman]

What a stupid ball

 

[#GreenRoars]

Target 400

I am not gonna watch it but I really hope they smash the living daylight out of Englishmen.

Don't, they will fold, no contest, this will be one sided, you heard it here first

 

[Strike Rate]

I can't remember when was the last time SA chase anything over 250? They are really bad at chasing just like Pak

 

[Amjid Javed]

400 to win for S.A

Will need an AB special to get close to this total.

 

[Dman]

SA batting is so fragile,

Amla, De kock, Du Plessis then AB

After that Duminy, Rossou and Behardien all lullus

Let go of the hate.

 

[Strike Rate]

On this ground 300 is never chased under lights and here we have a team with habit of coming under pressure while chasing anything over 250

 

[Strike Rate]

SA batting is so fragile,

Amla, De kock, Du Plessis then AB

After that Duminy, Rossou and Behardien all lullus

Plessis and AB both are terribly out of form and Amla isn't a big hitter so he will probably lose his wicket while trying to accelerate the RR. Their only hope is Kock /Duminy and Rossow while Behardeen is just there because of quota

 

[Dman]

1 over 6 runs

 

[carrom_ball]

Amla Bhai tuk tuk

 

[Dman]

Just get to 200-2 in 30 overs no and take it as a T20 Match from there on with AB.

 

[Dman]

Amla is crap while chasing

 

[Dman]

AB coming within the first 20 overs means match over.

 

[Adil_94]

Let's see what Amla can do in this chase.

[Adil_94]

Amla is a really poor chaser .

Has Amla played a significant innings in any successful 300 + chases by South Africa.

Nope

 

[Adil_94]

If you had Amlas batting first abilities with Kohlis chasing ability in one batsman you would have the GOAT of ODIS right there.

[Adil_94]

He's not even out of form scored a hundred and a 90 in the last Test. And il bet he will score a serene ton while batting first if SA get the chance to do that in the series.

I will take Rohit Sharmas batting first ability over Amlas everytime.

Even while batting first, Amla always has just one gear.

 

[Robert]

Really a gift wicket off a nothing ball.

 

[Dman]

There is only 1 Batsman in SA team who can win this match for the team and the rest can only set an ideal stage for him.

 

[Dman]

Must keep batting at 6 rpo till the 30th over without taking too many risks, De Kock and Du Plessis are pretty much capable of that.

 

[Dman]

Keep milking em

 

[Dman]

Rain coming?

 

[Dman]

Not a bad start apart from loss of Amlas wicket.

 

[Dman]

Du Plessis on fire

 

[#GreenRoars]

De Cock and Faf going good

 

[Big Mac]

Saffers have started well but really you need to get ahead of the run rate to have any chance because at some point you're bound to lose a couple of wickets and have a few slow overs.

 

[aniket1911]

This is going to be a thriller.

 

[Dman]

Good start to the chase.

 

[Dman]

Review

 

[Amjid Javed]

Du Plesis give out lbw, and reviewed.

105/2

 

[#GreenRoars]

Moeen Ali strikes Faf.

 

[James]

Could be a close game here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

excellent review and over turned!

 

[Dman]

Missing, what a great escape!!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ohh whatt? Missing stumps???

 

[Jabo]

Hopefully he doesn't throw it away

 

[James]

Looked very out when it was live.

Good review.

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A 105/1 after 14 overs

One or both these well set batsmen need to get a big 100 here.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ffity for Faf and chase is on.

 

[Dman]

All the makings of an excellent chase

 

[Sidilicious]

Going to be a good competition between Engs Willey and De Cock of SA later. Will give a better measure of both teams.

That was good.

 

[Jabo]

Good partnership and start

Long way to, not too confident with ab

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looked very out when it was live.

Good review.

Was bowled pretty wide of the crease so not that much of a shock ball was missing leg.

 

[Sidilicious]

The batsman's Kock (blocking) the bowler's willey
the batsman's Faf'ing the bowlers willey

 

[aniket1911]

The thing is SA should play this as non-pressure match.
330 is like a pressure match where you think about winning but chase of 399 is different ball game. Your chances of winning are same as me dating scarlett Johnson i.e. significantly low.

So just normal aggressive cricket till 30 over even if they score just 190-200 of them.

With AB still to come, you might have a chance chasing 200 in last 20 overs.

Please don't let ab come before 30th over.

 

[Zahid87]

Looked very out to me.

If this was Sachin and Ajmal, we would be crying conspiracy....

 

[#GreenRoars]

100 run partnership between Cock and Faf.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saffers need a blinding 200 from one of the 3.

 

[Dman]

Looked very out to me.

If this was Sachin and Ajmal, we would be crying conspiracy....

The Mohali Sachin lbw decision came into my mind straight away after the LBW was overturned.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looked very out to me.

If this was Sachin and Ajmal, we would be crying conspiracy....

Sachin was back on his stumps, Faf wasnt that far back. massive difference.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Again a dolly and now dispatched for

 

[Dman]

Gone, threw it away

 

[Amjid Javed]

Faf gone! awful ball and smacks it down deep midwickets throat.

121/2

 

[Dman]

AB shouldnt come, too warm for him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Throws it away just when he got a life

 

[#GreenRoars]

And faf threw it away, Moeen strike.

 

[Dman]

Jeeez, AB it is

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England's game now unless even a big 100 is in someone's appetite tonight.

 

[Dman]

AB is a Legend

 

[Deewana Mastana]

AB isn't 100% and it seems like he'll struggle a bit

 

[Dman]

Greatest one after SRT
