Right, last I checked you were the pitch curator in SA...

 

[Sandeep]

Right, last I checked you were the pitch curator in SA...

It is apparent that the pitches are flat looking at the scorecards..

 

[Romali_rotti]

It is apparent that the pitches are flat looking at the scorecards..

Or it could be quality batting vs avg bowlers ..

 

[Sandeep]

27 overs 178-1!

India A seems to be better than Indian team.. Although both are effectively same

 

[IAJ]

Beastly stuff from Dhawan again, easy centrury!

Can India post between 350 and 400?

 

[IAJ]

Rusty Theron seems quite rusty out there, Going at just below 10 an over.

 

[Sandeep]

Can Dhawan make 200?

 

[Sandeep]

139* now..

 

[Sandeep]

20 more overs to go

 

[Sandeep]

147* 19 more overs..

 

[The Rock]

Oh dear...Pujara murdering them.
If he stays for 50 overs, he will score 250.

 

[Sandeep]

Oh dear...Pujara murdering them.
If he stays for 50 overs, he will score 250.

You meant Dhawan? Because Pujara's slow batting is Saffers' only hope now

 

[battler]

Dhawan will score 250 at this rate

 

[Sandeep]

The top three for India today are effectively the top 3 for test series in December..

 

[Sandeep]

I like the way Dhawan is not giving it away..

 

[Xoib]

Right, last I checked you were the pitch curator in SA...

SA knows this tour has been orgainzed to get Indian batsman use to SA conditions test series wins are very important for SA especially since they are #1 in the world there is no way they will allow India any kind of head start before the tour later this year.

 

[The Rock]

You meant Dhawan? Because Pujara's slow batting is Saffers' only hope now

Sorry yes..typo. I meant Dhawan
Hope he gets 250 today.

 

[Sandeep]

This is absolute toying.. South Africa's bench bowlers are bad!

 

[battler]

The top three for India today are effectively the top 3 for test series in December..

I hope we replace vijay with gambhir

 

[Sandeep]

158* with 17 more overs..

 

[IAJ]

Dhawan has gone past his highest score, batting at 158* now

 

[Sandeep]

I hope we replace vijay with gambhir

There is no reason to drop Vijay for tests.. He scored two massive hundreds against Aussies..

 

[IndianWillow]

Are these matches really being played in SA? SA are giving Indian batsmen a false hope for the tour ahead.

 

[The Rock]

What will South Africa do after Morkel/Steyn?

 

[Sandeep]

Dhwan, enough man.. let others get some practice

 

[shahidafridi123]

Can Dhawan get a double century?

 

[IAJ]

At this rate India will make 380+

 

[Sandeep]

At this rate India will make 380+

In an absolutely pointless match!

 

[shahidafridi123]

No good players in SA A team

 

[Sandeep]

No good players in SA A team

And hence it is an 'A' team

 

[IAJ]

In an absolutely pointless match!

The winner will qualify for the final against Aus A, so it isn't pointless.

 

[The Rock]

In an absolutely pointless match!

 

[IAJ]

Drinks, SA need some speciall drink

 

[battler]

There is no reason to drop Vijay for tests.. He scored two massive hundreds against Aussies..

don't think he will last long against steyn and philly,plus gambo is a lefty which will help us against steyn.gambhir din't do too badly the last time we toured.

 

[Sandeep]

The winner will qualify for the final against Aus A, so it isn't pointless.

What good is this match doing to our chances in South Africa later this year? Except giving false hopes..

 

[IAJ]

Come on Pujara, just take a single

 

[saiyan0312]

pointless or not. even if it is list A its a good innings by dhawan. well done and reach a 250.

 

[IAJ]

What good is this match doing to our chances in South Africa later this year? Except giving false hopes..

There are two unofficial Tests after this OD series. Those matches will tell you more about Indias batting.

 

[Sandeep]

We already know about our batting.. Our bowling remains a mystery

 

[PakistanKnight]

Flat deck so that Indian batsmen get false hope for test series.
A serious question-What will happen to SA after Steyn,Philander and Morkel are gone? Steyn can play around another 6-8 years and Morkel is very injury prone so not much there either. Philander has played a handful of matches and he has got injured in between them as well.So,Good luck SA for #1 spot in future.

 

[GrandMaster]

India already have left handed Dhawan to open the inning, there is noway for another left hand batsman Gambhir or any other top order batsmen. India will open the inning with Dhawan and Vijay, one down Pujara and second down Sachin.

don't think he will last long against steyn and philly,plus gambo is a lefty which will help us against steyn.gambhir din't do too badly the last time we toured.

 

[PakistanKnight]

C'mon Dhawan. We want to demolish the goraas. Just take the revenge of your neighbors,just like we did against England.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Dude,Dhawan is a lefty,who right now looks like the first name for the squad, and we all know Dhoni is a fan of left-right combo at top.

What's wrong in opening with two lefties?

 

[shahidafridi123]

187*

 

[shahidafridi123]

He got this same score in his only test

 

[Electron]

C'mon Dhawan. We want to demolish the goraas. Just take the revenge of your neighbors,just like we did against England.

Lenge bhai jaan.. pura revenge lenge...

 

[The Rock]

188*

 

[IAJ]

193* now

 

[IAJ]

Team score 300 up in 39th over, lol

 

[The Rock]

195*

 

[IAJ]

just 1 big hit away now

 

[shahidafridi123]

Now he gets to face in the next over!!

 

[shahidafridi123]

India should be looking for 550 plus here........

 

[shahidafridi123]

FOUR!

199 now!

 

[IAJ]

199*

 

[shahidafridi123]

And there it is! A single brings up 200!

 

[shahidafridi123]

What a knock!

 

[IAJ]

Congrats, 200, haha

 

[shahidafridi123]

What's the highest score ever in List A cricket?

 

[battler]

200!! Take a bow stud!

 

[IAJ]

Still 10 overs left after this, should aim for 300

 

[Saurav]

should retire now Dhawan

 

[Romali_rotti]

250 for Dhawan on the cards here...

 

[WebGuru]

.
* Dhawan need to score 63 more runs to break the record of highest List A score. Ali Brown scored 268 in 160 ball in a match between Surrey and Glamorgan in 2002 at Oval.
.

 

[amax]

can anyone check; Is this some sort of record?

edit : as expected webguru bro has posted, thanks.

 

[Iqbal6]

What's the highest score ever in List A cricket?

@mohanstatsman

The individual highest score in a List A game:
268 by Aly Brown for Surrey vs Glamorgan at the Oval 19 June 2002

 

[Singham]

Its a shame there will be no video coverage of this innings....

 

[WebGuru]

can anyone check; Is this some sort of record?

you are welcome bro...

 

[WebGuru]

.
* Dhawan is now second in the list of highest runs in a List A match before him it was Graeme Pollock with 222* runs.
.

 

[amax]

This is unreal from Dhawan, Amnesty International should take note of the innings.

 

[Aman]

Pujara could get a decent 100 here

 

[The Rock]

230*

 

[Aman]

No offense but when someone makes 200 especially at this clip against your bowling line up something is really wrong. Where is the depth in ODI bowling in SA? Australia can field 3-4 pretty strong bowling line ups, yet SA struggle to put up one...

 

[The Rock]

240*
