South Africa v India | 1st ODI | Johannesburg | 5th Nov, 2013

[Electron]

Best Asian fast bowler starts off with a maiden

 

[Strike Rate]

So defensive when someone points a finger at

117.39 De Kock's strike rate, he'll score a fifty

i am talking about indian innings and de kok strike rate is down to 90s now and amla getting to 80!!!

 

[Eye_Done]

looks like 300+ on cards!
licking his lips.

Do you know India is not playing SL?

 

[Abhilash]

Shami bowling at better pace, Yadav would have been good here!!

 

[Bilal7]

Match looks evenly poised. Is there swing and seam movement here?

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Half volley. Amla is missing out on some pies.

 

[soso_killer]

Amla has really missed out today.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Chasing 300 against this SA bowling attack here won't be easy. Good to see Shami start off with a maiden

 

[Varun]

Match looks evenly poised. Is there swing and seam movement here?

And if there was, how do we exploit it exactly?

We'll be chasing 300 as always.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Dhoni is using a cheat code : indian bowling

He knows only way to activate Kohli is to make sure they are chasing 300+

Gold

Lets not go overboard here. Lad still has a lot to prove

 

[Strike Rate]

@Indiafan where are you? i want my 250 rupees!!!

 

[Leo]

Serious question. Who does Dhoni bowl in the death? Both BK and Mohit are sure to be thrashed. Both are almost strictly new ball bowlers. Sir and Aswin?

Amla has been lucky in this innings.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Amla still thinks its Pakistani bowlers bowling.

 

[OZGOD]

Stage is being set for India to score 400 to win

 

[standardcricket]

Do you know India is not playing SL?

Kohli doesn't need SL to chase 300+, he only goes beast mode in 300+ chases

He chase it against SL once, Once against Pakistan and twice against the aussies

 

[Abhilash]

We got no death bowlers!! RIP BK and Mohit !!

deja vu!

Amla has been lucky in this innings.

some people say this in every other innings of amla but if you watch closely even great players were lucky in many innings

any sport is about skill ability brain and luck (example ishant sharma)

Mohammed Shami and Jadeja, Shami has done well against Australia previously, he is a good death bowler

 

[Electron]

Beauty from Shami.

Watch the match, you're doing it right now.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Common yaar 1/ 2 wicket .... Will Jaddu open the wicket count or Shami?

 

[London_Lahori]

No wickets yet, India need wickets otherwise this will be 300+

 

[Abhilash]

Unlucky!!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

inside edged one for four !

 

[Strike Rate]

Stage is being set for India to score 400 to win

who will play the gibbs and smith innings today and than boucher cameo?

 

[Strike Rate]

anyone counting de kock lucky chances also or all of you are after amla luck

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Stage is being set for India to score 400 to win

SA don't have the firepower to score that much and we haven't been atrocious in our bowling today

 

[Varun]

Watch the match, you're doing it right now.

As you know, I don't watch the Indian bowling innings.

Ok man. Sorry that I said that, I am young

 

[Strike Rate]

risky single again

 

[Nikhil_cric]

De Kock looks clueless against Shami. Damn shouldve played yadav as well

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Oh no. Looks like there is some rain in the air.

 

[loves_cricket]

If starting is so strong by SA, I wonder what will be final total!!!!
Looks like normal 350-360, but this is not WI & at home
We are against SA & away. Big big lose is on card.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kock will be Shami's bunny this series

 

[Bilal7]

India actually bowling well here. I'm surprised.

 

[Strike Rate]

Oh no. Looks like there is some rain in the air.

please NO!!!

 

[Bilal7]

As you know, I don't watch the Indian bowling innings.

You should, they've been impressive.

 

[Bilal7]

Amla playing under pressure. Silly ABD has motivated them to not bowl rubbish.

 

[loves_cricket]

Oh no. Looks like there is some rain in the air.

Our only hope, rained off match!!
No, I want our team to face tough challenges.
Pakistan already proved that SA is not unbeatable at home.

 

[soso_killer]

Where are the pies India? I demand you stock up the freezer NOW!!

We playing SA the C word will come into play.....

just wait and see you will not be disappointed!!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Amla seems to have gone into a shell off late. Clearly playing Pakistan so often has damaged his confidence. AB on the other hand will be raring to go

 

[Strike Rate]

shami touching 140 consistently

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Shami and Bhuvi have bowled well
Umesh should be in next match for Mohit


Looks like it will rain .... a shortened match will be good to start with ...

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

shami touching 140 consistently

Will be interesting to see how he bowls in Test matches

 

[soso_killer]

This Shami has grined the innings to a hault

 

[Strike Rate]

Amla seems to have gone into a shell off late. Clearly playing Pakistan so often has damaged his confidence. AB on the other hand will be raring to go

in his mind he is still facing Irfan and Junaid

he was a bunny of irfan this year

 

[PTI tsunami]

Shami bowlg well but it is a bowling wkt

 

[Strike Rate]

Will be interesting to see how he bowls in Test matches

the best thing about him is he knows his limit and use his brain smartly i expect a zaheer like career from him.

 

[OZGOD]

Mohammed Shami looks like Mohammed Sami

 

[Abhilash]

Shami bowlg well but it is a bowling wkt

No it is not, which match are you watching, shami bowled well actually.

 

[Bilal7]

Man this pitch is a proper green mamba.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shami bowlg well but it is a bowling wkt

Which is a good thing. Need to bowl the right lengths here. He did well in Kolkata

 

[PTI tsunami]

No it is not, which match are you watching, shami bowled well actually.

U need to go to specsavers it is a green wkt why u think Africa have no spinners

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

he was a bunny of irfan this year

+1

waiting for sir jaddu!!!

 

[Strike Rate]

Clouds are gathering

please no! for the first time this year i am watching south africa playing against another team

 

[soso_killer]

Back to back 's

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Well seems like spin will get smashed here.

 

[Strike Rate]

the mystery of ashwin is gone long ago

 

[soso_killer]

Drinks break!!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

C'mon rain ..... lets have a 35 over per innings match

 

[OZGOD]

Bring in ABCD after this to spice up the runrate

 

[Zahid87]

If the pitch is green...then how are SA going at a rate of around 5, without losing any wickets?

India's bowling must be pretty toothless then.

 

[Abhilash]

U need to go to specsavers it is a green wkt why u think Africa have no spinners

Well at least Ian Pont agrees with me, they left out tahir, who are they left with?

 

[Bilal7]

Seems like this will be a great match. Hope that it isn't shortened too much.

Look bro I think he is a good prospect but we will have to wait and see how he develops but I still maintain it is a bowling wkt

 

[Buffet]

SA is set to make 280-300 here. Both batsmen survived some good balls and now it's time to cash in. It won't be easy for India to chase big total in their first OIDI.

 

[steelo green]

De Kock is going to be a very good player.

 

[Strike Rate]

Watching south africa playing against another team this year is like watching ishant bowling 160kph

my mind is still not able to accept they are not playing against Pakistan
