11th June - Group B - India v South Africa

[srbhkshk]

Madness, should have had him on as 1st change and just bowled Rabada and Morkel out too. They needed to bowl India out and only way is to bowl the best 3 bowlers in the side.

You can't keep bowling the pacers. They get tired, especially when they are trying their best to get wickets, it's a question of balancing. I do agree that Tahir should have come in though.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah no excuse to not bowl Tahir till now. Now Amla drops a real tough one.

 

[Contra]

That's a drop lol.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

SA really looked off in this tournament

 

[OverratedSanity]

The Kohli on drive and cover drives should be right on top alongside the Sachin straight drive and Dhoni helicopter flicks as the signature great shots of Indian batsmanship.

Eh. His pull is way better, aesthetically speaking.

 

[honestbharani]

Lol.. you speak as if you get to define aesthetics. It means different things to different people, bud.

Honestly we have looked off since the last WC. Our test team has improved but we have been lucky with many a LO game and series win. All the problems are known and unresolved.

 

[Contra]

Dhawan's Champions Trophy record is ridiculous.

Bowl them for the opening 10, put Tahir on at best end for him and rotate the best 2 quicks in 1 over spells. Only need to bowl 10 and many bowl that many in a spell in a test match at some stage so not like it will kill them.

It won't but imo it takes away from their effectiveness, A Rabada in his 6th over may not be particularly more effective than a Morris in his second.

Have you seen Morris bowl?

 

[srbhkshk]

Have you seen Morris bowl?

It's a general point, if I was to come to specifics Phehlukwayo has looked far more likely to pick up Kohli compared to Rabada today.

 

[honestbharani]

And OS tells me the Kohli on drive is not aesthetically pleasing.

 

[honestbharani]

And now the King obliges me with an absolutely orgasm worthy cover drive.

I'm not telling you what opinion to have bud, I'm just giving you mine, however worthless it may be.

 

[Contra]

So who's gonna win the race to 100 between these 2?

 

[honestbharani]

Now, now, Contra.. gotta win the game first.

Game's in the bag bro, just some fun and games left now.

 

[srbhkshk]

Dhawan worth his weight in gold in icc tourneys.
