*Official* Match 29 - India v South Africa

[Dhoni_fan]

Even England would be proud of that collapse

As proud as losing to Ireland and Bangladesh in the same WC?

 

[Burgey]

What a collapse. Hilarious.

 

[The_roc]

fixed.

May be the choke is yet to come?

 

[IndiaLose]

That goes without saying. Your user name is good enough.

 

[shankar]

Nehra running in with decent rhythm, much better than in all the matches since his comeback.

 

[Burgey]

Gambhir u ****!!!

This.

May be the choke is yet to come?

I can't imagine how worse it will be

 

[Burgey]

You tied with them. Proud of that?

 

[Spark]

Hmm... a bit overcautious perhaps.

 

[Dhoni_fan]

Zaheer and Nehra both bowling well here in good rhythm decent start this for us.

 

[Dhoni_fan]

You tied with them. Proud of that?

Ireland and Bangladesh. no I think you will find we beat Ireland by 5 wickets and Bangladesh by 87 odd runs!

 

[Blaze 18]

Manjrekar is such an annoying commentator to listen to.

 

[Spark]

Lot of balls straight to fielders.

Personally don't see at that stage that they're going to be in any better situation to take the powerplay than they were after 15 overs, in my eyes it can only be a worse situation. Unless of course Yusuf and Dhoni are set. Yes you have the re-conditioned ball, but after 15 India had Tendulkar and Sehwag basically putting the ball wherever they wanted, a SA attack looking very down on themselves and bereft of any ideas how to remove either of them or to even slow them down.

Teams seem to make plans to take the powerplay around a certain period, ie the 34 over stage, and not be flexible enough to change plans when the situation dictates.

AWTA.. strongly.. Plus they will be forced to use spinners at that stage anyways and it juz seems a great idea from so many PoVs...

 

[Spark]

Man that's a good shot

 

[IndiaLose]

I really feel bad for Sachin. Such an amazing soul.

 

[kingpin]

Gotta Feel for Sachin......

Hey guys, the name's Mikey. Just a neutral cricket fan, enjoying the tournament .

What a great match in progress. Taking into account India's first 20 overs, where they batted better than average, and also their last 10 where they were below par, I'd say they are 30 behind.

They need to bowl well and take wickets to make up for those 30 runs.
The ball seems to be keeping a tad low and stop-starting! Lets see what happens!
Tipping SA but it depends on the big 4 Amla, Kallis, AB, Smith.

 

[Spark]

Smith looks so bad vs. Zaheer

 

[IndiaLose]

I wish Ashwin was chosen as an extra spinner.
