ICC Champions Trophy 2017

[sammsky1]

South Africa.167-6

Laughable that some suggested the were the team to beat in this tournament - they are terrible!

They have very little quality and certainly no character or backbone. Why are they such chokers???

 

[sammsky1]

Can't say now. Morkel Rabada Tahir are a handful

if India lose this game, They should give up cricket

 

[2mufc0]

Their bowling attack is very good , especially in English conditions, but their batsmen have let them down badly this tournament.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Tempted to put out the C word for South Africa. But won't, because it annoys certain people

 

[kotha]

Don't say things like that man!! We screw up some basic stuff sometimes.

 

[K2K]

South Africa are the gift that keeps on giving

Can't see them winning any thing within the next 20 years at least.

One of the most mentally weak sides in sport.

It's the honest truth though.

 

[Spoony]

Why do they always choke?? It's not even funny anymore. Obviously it's fear.

 

[prath92]

Can they get to 200?

 

[Skills]

Why wouldn't you just bowl at the stumps if you're on a hat trick

 

[prath92]

They were 140/2 in 28 overs. This is appalling. Tbf India have batted well this tournament so far. Though both matched they faced average bowling attacks

 

[prath92]

Why wouldn't you just bowl at the stumps if you're on a hat trick

That's what the batsman expects so he tried to mix it up. It did take the edge to be fair

 

[sammsky1]

Don't say things like that man!! We screw up some basic stuff sometimes.

if India screw up from here, they are worse chokers than SA!

 

[prath92]

That's gone again. How could they get out there? There was even a misfield

 

[zing]

wtf was that?

 

[Akshay]

South Africa need to be given the credit for these run outs, not India.

 

[ha_rooney]

Such a talented team but put them in an ICC tournament & they shit themselves.

 

[prath92]

Kohli in full control so far

 

[KM]

Man Dhawan is something else in ICC Tournaments.

[prath92]

How can India win without Dhoni to hit the winning runs?

 

[iKnowNothing]

How can India win without Dhoni to hit the winning runs?

He'll get the winning 6 in the final

Edit: before anyone gets touchy, I obviously mean if India go that far.

 

[Dumbstar]

He'll get the winning 6 in the final

Pakistani bowlers will make sure of it.

 

[prath92]

Yuvi finishes with a six

 

[Di Maria's angel]

That was brilliant. Brushed em a side with ease. Shame we couldnt see much of a contest. Bhuvis near hattrick was very good bowling. Reckon India v England in the final.

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

Another England Vs India final coming up

 

[RedTiger]

Pakistan Bangladesh final.

Pakistan to get 175 all out in their inning and Bangladesh to chase it in 30 overs just to lose all their wickets with 2 runs remaining.

 

[KM]

England look a class above other teams. Still can't believe their approach yesterday. 35-3 and then they absolutely destroyed the Aussie bowlers. Ridiculous stuff.

 

[iKnowNothing]

Pak vs SL tomorrow? Hopefully SL win. I'd rather rule of the possibility of an India-Pak final.

 

[prath92]

Pakistan Bangladesh final.

Pakistan to get 175 all out in their inning and Bangladesh to chase it in 30 overs just to lose all their wickets with 2 runs remaining.

How will they lose by 2 runs if they chase it in 30 overs?

 

[RedTiger]

How will they lose by 2 runs if they chase it in 30 overs?

Almost chased it. Almost.

 

[prath92]

Almost chased it. Almost.

Will hardik Pandya bowl the last over for Pakistan in this scenario?

 

[MDFC Manager]

So the loss to Sri Lanka was just a bad day at the office

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

England look a class above other teams. Still can't believe their approach yesterday. 35-3 and then they absolutely destroyed the Aussie bowlers. Ridiculous stuff.

The result today was absolutely terrible for them because India is the one team that can beat them. I didn't rate this Indian team pre tournament but if we make the final now which we should then I don't think that in a one off game there is much between India and England

I don't know man. You see their batting Root, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler in the middle order. Plus Moeen Ali is getting better. Wood is a class act in bowling. The way they trashed Aussies yesterday was such a shock especially after losing their top3.

India's batting has been top clas too. We scored 300 in both games we batted first and chase down 190 in 35 overs with7 wickets to spare.

England's bowling conceded 300 vs Bangladesh and 280 vs Australia. I think they are certainly beatable if we turn up

 

[Nikhil]

God, I wanted SA and NZ in the semis. Same South Asian teams again and again. Cricket needs other teams to win these cups!

We can certainly beat England in a one-off game but we're more top reliant than they are. Our top 3 is fantastic, but beyond that it is hit and miss.

 

[Sylar]

Good atmosphere again at Oval though I thought the one vs Sri Lanka was better.
Was expecting S.A to get 260, to not even get 200 was a shock.
The run out was my favourite moment of the match, as they went to third umpire to see who was in at the same end first

Going to Birmingham for the semi final. And got a ticket for the final so hopefully India make it. India vs England would probably be the best game. Although India vs Pakistan somehow would be interesting cos you know... :P

Pandya as a bowler worries me too much. He just allows the opposition to get momentum after the others build up pressure.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Should be noted they chased both targets with ease. Certainly notable that they are beatable since Roy is a major concern and the bowling attack has weak links but if India only posted 280-300, they would have to bowl a significantly better than Bangladesh and Australia to beat England.
