[Indiafan]

Same lineup as last time. So no Umesh and Mohit plays

 

[OZGOD]

Kohli will score 300 today. I can feel it

 

[Kianig89]

Jayanti Langer is hot

haha you pressed J instead of M in excitement

 

[Kianig89]

rested not playing this

 

[battler]

Can't wait for vs steyn!

 

[Robbie]

No!!! wanted them to bat first. Now how will SA choke. They choke well while batting second.

 

[Indiafan]

i bet 100 takkas kohli will not cross 50

Only because he won't have enough to chase because of our amazing bowling

 

[Kianig89]

Kumar Shami Mohit 3 Indian pacers

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

i bet 100 takkas kohli will not cross 50

I bet 1000 rupees he will

Come on Kohli, show me the rupee

 

[Strike Rate]

Only because he won't have enough to chase because of our amazing bowling

i bet 250 india rupees south africa will score 300 or more!

 

[Kianig89]

SA not playing Philander its a massive mistake or may be they're keeping him fresh to launch against indians for Tests

 

[Strike Rate]

rested not playing this

shane warne is useless against india

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kohli will score 300 today. I can feel it

South Africa needs to score at least 500 then. Maybe in the second odi hopefully

Come on India

 

[battler]

rested not playing this

Abcd knew he would get phainty from and

 

[Indiafan]

i bet 250 india rupees south africa will score 300 or more!

I will take you up on this

 

[Kianig89]

[Kianig89]

Ravi Shastri is there

 

[Strike Rate]

I bet 1000 rupees he will

Come on Kohli, show me the rupee

ok deposit the money now!!!

 

[Kianig89]

and Pat Symcox the whinger

 

[Strike Rate]

SA not playing Philander its a massive mistake or may be they're keeping him fresh to launch against indians for Tests

steyn need more rest not philander

 

[battler]

Why no philtrundler?

 

[Colt]

No Tahir today, can't wait for Kohli vs Tahir.

He bowled like Warne against us but India would spank him all over the park, smart move from AB..

Steyn and Morkel will do a lot more damage.

 

[OZGOD]

Have India won yet? I thought they would have scored 100 runs before the start of play, they are that good.

 

[Colt]

Why no philtrundler?

Wait for the Tests..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

ok deposit the money now!!!

Ha ha ha

Let Kohli bat first then you'll need to go to the bank

 

[Strike Rate]

Have India won yet? I thought they would have scored 100 runs before the start of play, they are that good.

the other news is south africa already lost openers before start of the match!

 

[Indiafan]

6 pace bowlers for SA with Duminy. And a green pitch. Bring it on!

 

[Kianig89]

Sir Jadeja will be tested here

 

[soso_killer]

Dont rate India in either format to be brutaly honest. When they start winning away maybe.
I dont believe there is a number ODI side currently. A number 1 team has to be able to win away especialy in foreign conditions.
So the onus is on India. Especially when you take into account that they are playing against a rubbish side.

 

[786pk]

Now, we'll find out how much grit this young indian batting line up has. I'm still not convinced, anyone can bat on dead wickets at home.

 

[Strike Rate]

a reality check for beekay and jadeja. all my expectations are with shami i know this guy will perform here

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Have India won yet? I thought they would have scored 100 runs before the start of play, they are that good.

hahahah good one, you're on full flow today. Keep it rolling

 

[Stark]

..I would expect this Indian powerhouse batting lineup to score 500 on this wicket. I reckon SA will lose by 300 runs

Yaar Ozzie, tere mooh mein ghee.. tere mooh mein shakkar...

But we all know the score in SC dont count for jack outside.
Let's hope for a cracker of a series.

 

[mosh101]

India bowling first ! That should give them an edge !

Game on !

 

[OZGOD]

the other news is south africa already lost openers before start of the match!

They probably faked injury, afraid to face the Indian PACE LIKE FYAAHHHH attack

 

[Kianig89]

india clear favorites here also they've won the toss

 

[soso_killer]

That XI bats deep. Miller will be delighted to be facing a pop gun attack after facing a fantastic and versatile Pakistan attack

Well the Champion Trophy was held in England and they have beaten South Africa, England, Pakistan and the rest. Clearly they are the number 1 side buddy

Amla just tweeted i am retired hurt in respect of sir bhuvi kumar and sir jaddu

 

[Batman]

Going to be intresting game this, as India chase again SA need to post big here.

 

[OZGOD]

Latest news is that the entire Saffer team will be wearing neck braces, to protect their necks against RSI from constantly turning their heads to watch the ball sail to the boundary over and over again.

miller vs sir jaddu is going to be the battle of the year on cricket field!!!

On a more serious note, the Indian bowlers are apparently wrapt at bowling in SA. They will finally be able to bowl bouncers that bounce just above the knee roll!

Such a statement coming from a so so poster..
No surprises there.
