What happened to Philander?
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
One of Warne and Ganguly need to shut up when the other one is talking.
This look a proper batting wicket SA can attain this if they bat sensibly.
Once again we've failed to take advantage of our good position in death overs.
The batsmen have done their job imo. upto the bowlers now.
Good finish by SA. Largely very good by India. Finishing the match is a bit of a concern and so is Kohli's subdued role. Up to our bowlers now.
South Africa's long tail will cost them
Disgrace. 40 runs in last 6 overs.
Amla and AB will finish off the match before that. Our only hope is our 2 spinners
Pretty much like last world cup's game between Ind-SA, particularly how India's innings ended. That day start was lot faster and India was in even better position going in last overs but overall similar.
Fantastic bowling by Steyn.
Yeah that's the context. Steyn and Morkel are very hard to score against, for any batsmen, let alone the lower order ones
That was an even worse collapse.. we were above 260 after 40 overs and then could not even reach 300.
Anyway overall a positive match for us, need Rohit to play a big innings next and our top 5 will be well set. Should finish second and face either SRL or Eng in Quarters. Would take that to reach the semis.
We are not going to finish below 2nd I think. So it will be SL or Eng. India will go in as favourites if that happens.
Loving the aggro in our bowling. Just need to not get carried away
You guys seen Shoaib Akhtar absolutely ripping into Pakistan's team in a show? Kept his best for Misbah and Younis khan, tore into them.
Loving the pressure so far. Feels like a proper World Cup match.
Saw it today. I wanted to hear what the others had to say. But shoaib completely ripped Mishbah and the others apart.
Brilliant fielding. Should have been a run out.
How did Raina miss that?
Well deserved. None of them deserve being anywhere near a World Cup squad.
I totally agreed regarding Misbah. His style of play is incredibly stupid. Creates pressure on everyone else, team inevitably suffers and he ends up with a 50 odd. He's spot on about the current bunch just not being good enough which is why I dont really agree regarding Younis Khan. Does Pakistan have anyone better?
Loved his dig at Waqar. Jo pehli baar coaching nahi kar paaya, duusri baar nahi kar paaya, teesri baar kya coaching karega
YESSS!! Brilliant setup to get Amla. Get in..
Fabulous.
I wish this wasn't a group stage match. Proper cricket.

Mohit Sharma's reaction just now
We've been fecking brilliant so far.
Loving the atmosphere.. Sounds like they are playing in India..
Ya we struggling here. Just like United, this SA team lacks a bit of balance. I expect India to take this match with ease.
Yeah.. let's hope we are not peaking too early.
Welcome to a world without Kallis.
Just seen this after reading your comment.. He's ripped everyone a new one..
Waqar also should be added the list along with Misbah and Younis.Score 300+ put the other team under pressure and watch them implode. I suspect India's in for a big win.
Just seen this after reading your comment.. He's ripped everyone a new one..
Waqar's bit was funny as feck. I mentioned the comment few posts up.
That's pretty much our problem. We're lacking a proper all rounder who could make the team for just his batting or bowling. We also lack depth - especially in the bowling department. Parnell's performance was pathetic.
Dhoni has allowed these two to get set rather than bring ashwin on. Ridiculous. Could cost us the match
We need to break this partnership,but both playing sensibly.
Read talk of peaking too soon and SA imploding, then I check the score. They're very much in this game!
SA are well on top right now.
SA look well set.
Knew it. Dhoni tries to pull this tactic with CSK as well. Holds back ashwin too late and then the opposition actually target him and then he is clueless.
