[MarkCooper]

wow getting bowled in international cricket is a bit embarrassing

 

[soso_killer]

Yuvraj gets greeted by a bouncer and then gets castled.

 

[cricfan967]

McLaren you beaut!

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Yuvraj stuck in his crease.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Yuvi !!

 

[OZGOD]

After Kohli, now the YUVI out to a classic piece of bowling - bounced and hit on the head first delivery, then pushed back into the crease and castled the next. 3/60 and India starting to fold

 

[ST1998]

Yuvraj looks mentally shot.

 

[Kianig89]

YUvraj )

 

[mithun_minhas]

UV has lost it in ODI's.

He should just stick to T20's.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Raina' s turn to be exposed

 

[Abhilash]

HAHAHA...Raina next!!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Its over.

 

[battler]

I mean how many times will he keep getting the same working over??

 

[menace2society]

You need a world class bowling attack to win in SA.

Thats why only Pakistan have won a series here out of all SC teams.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Yuvi bhai needs a season in ranji !

 

[menace2society]

You need a world class bowling attack to win in SA.

Thats why only Pakistan have won a series here out of all SC teams.

 

[Buffet]

When was last time Yuvraj played a good inning in ODI? Not sure why India have him in the line up in his current form. If next WC was in SC then I could understand the logic of having him as a bonus bowler but in Aus he will be useless.

 

[IAJ]

Only Dhoni can save India here it seems.

 

[cricfan967]

Meanwhile.. Rohit Sharma's still at the other end

 

[IgnitedMind]

Raina !! Raina !! Raina !!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Poor Yuvraj, hope he bounces back next match

It's sad to see the champ struggling

Have immense respect for this man

 

[Kianig89]

where is Manoj Tiwary the guy looked a class player

 

[Justcrazy]

Yuvi getting out for too many ducks

This was his 18th duck

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Meanwhile.. Rohit Sharma's still at the other end

hahahahah I almost forgot about him

 

[IgnitedMind]

hahaha....Rohit !

 

[Kianig89]

RR blasting up like a rocket

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[soso_killer]

He was just punching them..

what game were you watching? You did not see him advancing down the pitch only to look like an idiot when the pressure was on? Sloged a skier too :->

 

[EarthBoltX]

It'll have to be Rohit and Dhoni.
Can't be just one.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yuvraj not the same player any more

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Didn't u made a bet with Indiafan or someone before the start of game about

That was for the second ODI

 

[mosh101]

Another double hundred for rohit?

 

[mudassir84]

Got to be out

 

[mosh101]

Very close but i think rohit made it

 

[soso_killer]

I think he is safe there

 

[Haripotter]

So Kohli is gone after some lucky slogs? So much for being a pressure player

It's ur conditions.... Come on , don't b that harsh

At least no one looses against current SRILANKA in flat decks

 

[IgnitedMind]

first shot of confidence I saw from Rohit today....cut shot!

 

[Red Devil]

Runout

 

[MarkCooper]

 

[WNC]

Raina sacrifices Sharma to hide from the bowling )

 

[EarthBoltX]

Run-out..

 

[Pete Rose]

Why is Rohit batting so slow, he is putting pressure on other batsmen.
My poor man's impersonation of a Misbah critic.

 

[Iffitheking]

heheh OUt..

 

[mosh101]

Oh no, no double hundred today !

 

[Boi]

Raina runs Rohit out.

 

[imranraf]

Raina was so scared to face anymore balls, he got Rohit run out. It's turning out very bad so far India. Only hope is Dhoni for India now.

 

[akheR]

first shot of confidence I saw from Rohit today....cut shot!

 

[Red Devil]

Collapse?

 

[soso_killer]

Wow thats out. Thats the same guy that scored a double ton two days ago. And i was told pitches are the same

 

[MarkCooper]

so desperate to get off strike HAHAHAHHAAH

 

[IgnitedMind]

 

[Justcrazy]

Direct hit !!

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Ball is moving around on this pitch. There is steep bounce as well. How in the world did SA get 350?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Stupid run out.

 

[mudassir84]

They have to avoid the follow on first

 

[IgnitedMind]

Good fight from Rohit !

 

[Buffet]

Raina wanted to get off the strike, lol.

 

[Sandeep]

Oh my Raina!

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian ship sinking real fast here

 

[Sandeep]

He wanted to get off the mark..

 

[mosh101]

India in huge trouble

 

[OZGOD]

Nohit run out miles out of his ground. That's Raina's fault, desperate to get out of strike. Other than Kohli these Indian batsmen are all batting with fear. They need to take it to the Yarps, not cringe like rabbits

 

[Sandeep]

Expected from first match. Happy this isn't a test match

 

[akheR]

Raina is good against short pitched bowling and he has ODI centuries against Bangladesh and Hong Kong, there's still hope.

 

[soso_killer]

It's ur conditions.... Come on , don't b that harsh

At least no one looses against current SRILANKA in flat decks

of course when your best team does not play you will lose away. That does not make tracks any less flat what the point?
You have a rubbish ODI side to beat.

 

[smasher1980]

Wonder why the ball wasnt moving for the Indian bowlers...maybe Dhoni shud have batted first...the ball seems to be doing something under the lights.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch has some help for bowlers

 

[mosh101]

Hope to see some more fight from the rest of the team

 

[mosh101]

Parnell spraying it around too much

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ball is moving around on this pitch. There is steep bounce as well. How in the world did SA get 350?

Trundlindia

 

[mosh101]

Captain cool to save the sinking ship?

 

[Khan88]

SA have so many darn pace options....Steyn, Morkel, Tsotsobe, McLaren, Parnell....Philander's not even playing.

 

[Buffet]

Captain cool to save the sinking ship?

Only 300 runs

 

[Sandeep]

Good we got a reality check much earlier..

 

[battler]

Just shows how pathetically our trundlers bowled
What a pathetic bowling attack we are!

 

[Iffitheking]

Now, SA has to bowl worst then Afghani bowlers to have India some sort of chance... I wanted to see fight.. no fight from the best ODI team...

Dhoni needs to calm Raina down and make him realize, this is what wickets are like outside India. You can't always get on the front foot. He's played himself in, now he needs to play some shots.

Dhoni will do well, he's got tons of experience. Not much coming after him other than Sir Jaddu who will have to score 250 by himself IMO
