South Africa v India | 4th ODI | Port Elizabeth | 21/01/2011

[mastermind_quad]

It is difficult to bat under lights and if the score is more than 220 , it will be impossible.

yep we need to take remaining 5 wkt ASAP ....@ this rate they will score more then 220 if surviving whole 50 overs

 

[mastermind_quad]

It would have hit the wicket. But umpire naturally gave the benefit of doubt to the batsman

yeah ...no inside edge there ..anyway ...wkt aane wala hai ....

 

[ganeshran]

Thats it....now if SA win, it is because the umpire did not give Botha out....no other way SA can win...

dont know if you are being sarcastic, but these sort of things happen on the field. Duminy had a similar escape the other day.

At the end of the day umpires are humans too, and this one was too close to call.

[Sir john]

munna back in attack now

 

[chui_kadoo]

Partnership of 45 so far. Need it to get to 100

I should have made it more obvious. Yes I was being sarcastic...mostly for the whiners who complain about India getting some decisions in their favour...

 

[FastBowler]

Commentators very partisan.

 

[chui_kadoo]

164-5 after 33. Its drinks folks

 

[Sir john]

saaf 164/5 after 33 overs.

 

[md_tariq]

all in sudden, I see lot of indians in this thread...

 

[chui_kadoo]

India's fielding has vastly improved

 

[mastermind_quad]

we need wicket .....some quick ones .....

 

[chui_kadoo]

Sensible batting shown by these 2. They cant afford to take risks at the moment

 

[mastermind_quad]

Oh common ..we need to stop these easy singles & doubles

 

[mastermind_quad]

we need Wicket .....ASAP

 

[supersix]

anyone see nehra licking the ball?

 

[mastermind_quad]

171/5 after 35 overs

 

[mastermind_quad]

both the batsman well set and playing well

 

[FastBowler]

anyone see nehra licking the ball?

hota hai hota hai

 

[skittles]

all in sudden, I see lot of indians in this thread...

yeah...I know...I'm surprised too...I mean, it's not as if India is playing the match..

 

[chui_kadoo]

All these 2 need to do is play out the 50 overs and they will get 250+

 

[chui_kadoo]

nicely played. Sweet sweet timing

 

[chui_kadoo]

I like this alot. Runs are flowing now. Long may this continue

 

[md_tariq]

i dont see india winning this one.

 

[FastBowler]

Yuvraj, Pathan, Raina, Sehwag are all overweight.

 

[chui_kadoo]

9 off the over

 

[chui_kadoo]

183-5 after 36

 

[chui_kadoo]

Pathan comes on

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Botha's highest score is 46 and he is on 42* right now.

 

[chui_kadoo]

very good running between the wickets

 

[mastermind_quad]

Botha will make his highest score today

 

[chui_kadoo]

I think Yuvi's got his man

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hes gone. Yuvi gets his man

 

[chui_kadoo]

India are back in control now

 

[chui_kadoo]

Deadly Yuvi does it again. What a player as Rameez would say

 

[ganeshran]

 

[md_tariq]

when everything was going well.. all in sudden this happened..

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Botha will make his highest score today

we jinxed him

 

[md_tariq]

saffies r killing me.

 

[mastermind_quad]

we loosing the plot here

 

[iRfaN_LA]

when everything was going well.. all in sudden this happened..

well, thats SA for u ..CHOKERS !!

 

[md_tariq]

robin peterson looks like he is from somaliya

 

[mastermind_quad]

we jinxed him

yeah ...btw i never rated his batting ....but he played well here ..

 

[mastermind_quad]

saffies r killing me.

why??

 

[NJamal]

Yuvraj needs a real phainty at the hands of Razzaq or Afridi, what a crap bowler.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Robin Pieterson shoulndt of been playing ahead of Imran Tahir

 

[md_tariq]

still sa got so many overs left, even if they get 4 per over rest of the innings.. they wud end up around 240ish which is not bad.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

robin peterson looks like he is from somaliya

Ironically, that is probably the only reason he's been picked for the world cup. Last played an odcri over 2 years ago, bowling average of 50+ from almost 40 odis.

Reverse racism is still alive and kicking.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I really hope Razzaq hits Yuvi into oblivion

 

[mastermind_quad]

they will score around 250 or less

our batting need to click today

 

[mastermind_quad]

Common India ...we need some quick wickets

 

[md_tariq]

thats one of the reasons why SA could not be staying at No1 for long. they have this issue which teams like Eng/Aus dont have.

Its amazing they picked him up over Tahir for this game, the reason given was him being an allrounder. amazing.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Robin Pieterson is your typical bits and pieces player

 

[md_tariq]

Its amazing they picked him up over Tahir for this game, the reason given was him being an allrounder. amazing.

again Tahir still comes under that 7 in the 15 quota.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Seems to be a very decent batting pitch

 

[mastermind_quad]

batting well dealing in singles with occasional boundary ....

 

[NJamal]

India's downfall in WC will be their 5th bowling option Inshallah, which is clicking here in SA.

 

[md_tariq]

when top 4 bowlers bowl like 5th bowler, it does not make much difference. does it?

 

[mastermind_quad]

when top 4 bowlers bowl like 5th bowler, it does not make much difference. does it?

yep ..definitely ....

 

[mastermind_quad]

common boys ...we need some quick wickets

 

[iRfaN_LA]

batting well dealing in singles with occasional boundary ....

I am not watching the game but is it a difficult pitch? Seems like SA is really struggling to score runs.

 

[FastBowler]

7 overs left. I wouldn't take the Powerplay until the last 5 overs.

 

[mastermind_quad]

I am not watching the game but is it a difficult pitch? Seems like SA is really struggling to score runs.

Not that difficult ...as there batsmen made it .....

 

[mastermind_quad]

we need wicket ...wicket wicket ...

 

[strongman123]

Nice to see Botha fightback, dont understand the purpose of 2 spinners or 5 specialist bowlers, and still no Imran Tahir.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Dhoni Left the field...

 

[strongman123]

If Duminy stays on, should get 250 otherwise I doubt the tail can do much.

 

[mastermind_quad]

If Duminy stays on, should get 250 otherwise I doubt the tail can do much.

they will score 250 ...batting PP still left

 

[FastBowler]

Time for the Powerplay.

 

[NJamal]

Batting PP enforced

 

[NJamal]

SA should atleast score 50 runs in PP

 

[mastermind_quad]

PP starts ..lets wkt to start fall..

 

[chui_kadoo]

Need some boundaries now

 

[mastermind_quad]

they will score close to 260 .....

 

[mastermind_quad]

plz stop these easy singles yaar

 

[mastermind_quad]

6 from last over

 

[chui_kadoo]

need 40 runs off the last 4 overs

 

[chui_kadoo]

finally a boundary

 

[chui_kadoo]

50 for duminy. Timely innings
