What are the odds of us getting this, I wonder. 1/500000 I would say.

Betfair says ~7%. Feels like free $ to be made.

First and foremost target should be to avoid the follow on. Then explode.

 

[Burner]

Absolutely. I don't meant to take credit away from SA, because another team wouldn't have punished the bad bowling as well and AB is a freak etc, but you don't score 438 vs. good bowling.

Yeah. It might have been just bad bowling up until the 40th over but after that the bowlers weren't even trying. That's inexcusable, they could have still "limited" SA to 400..

Maxwell might have, tbf. Morgan + Buttler might have too.

 

[Jono]

Maxwell might have, tbf. Morgan + Buttler might have too.

Yeah sure. Its not just the bad bowling at the death. They went from ball 1.

 

[Jono]

Now Sanjay repeating his ****ty tweet on air about foot work being overrated as seen by Faf batting without cramp.

Refusing to take into account the crap bowling that went with it.

 

[Black_Warrior]

I always feel sorry for the fielding side in games like these, but the only thing that makes it worthwile today was watching Ravi Shastri's face in the dressing room.

 

[morgieb]

Yeah sure. Its not just the bad bowling at the death. They went from ball 1.

Especially under the new rules, it's a lot harder to just get in the zone and belt any kind of bowling later in the game.

 

[Jono]

Good start. Just punish the bad balls early. Don't bat like WI did vs. NZ in the World Cup.

 

[Jono]

wow bowling change

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

SA's fifth option is a huge worry

 

[Jono]

SA's fifth option is a huge worry

Yep. Chasing 350 would have been game on. They just lost the plot completely and made it almost impossible.

SA's fifth option is a huge worry

Elgar to get Kohli out cheaply caught and bowled, the other 80 runs he concedes in his 5 overs wont matter.

 

[Jono]

drop?

 

[Jono]

and now missed run out. whoopsie

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Yep. Chasing 350 would have been game on. They just lost the plot completely and made it almost impossible.

Exactly was thinking the same in the last ten if somehow India could restrict around 350 or so, it would have been chaseable

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

come on gotta take abbott to the cleaners

 

[Jono]

That is so ****ing dumb.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

come on Tahir, celebrate properly

 

[Black_Warrior]

Damn Rohit
