The FINAL- South Africa vs India (D), Kensington Oval, Barbados-- June 29th

[subshakerz]

SA's lack of depth in batting came home to roast. From 8-11 they are unable to go anything resembling an ok strikerate.

Well their tail shouldn't be this bad. They couldn't even score singles.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

They are definitely gonna make a movie about Rohit. It's destiny.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Such a dominant tourney from Bumrah. Has to be amongst the best ever

 

[subshakerz]

SA fans know better than to not rub their teams' noses in the muck in the immediate aftermath of a loss. Terrible form from neutrals here.

I offer their fans my commiserations. But I legit feel angry watching them fall apart like that.

@kyear2 to confirm.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

If I were a Saffers fan, I would view each upcoming WC with a sense of dread honestly. What cruel joke will your team play now? Feel bad for them.

I know some will try to forgive that Klaasen shot, but throughout the innings he was playing block, block, blast, so trying a wild cut right after the break was just the sort of classic pressure-induced SA brainfade we are used to.

The good teams, and ones with a clear goal in mind would play situations like these on repeat. A good psychiatrist is needed.

He is unreal. Operating on a whole other level. Not sure about tests but will go down as the best LOI pacer ever.

He. Is. The. Best.

Best I've seen since Steyn and Ambrose.

 

[Prince EWS]

@kyear2 to confirm.

At least they can catch in slips.

 

[Shri]

bumrah finally has a ****ing world cup and he basically won it

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Lol absolutely not. Batting in the first innings is not like chasing.

Anyways it was a valuable contribution and I would’ve given MoM to Bumrah. But it feels good that Kohli retires from the format with a trophy

 

[Arachnodouche]

He. Is. The. Best.

Best I've seen since Steyn and Ambrose.

A more well-rounded bowler than either in my opinion. Will surpass both if he can play another five years at his current level.

 

[Kirkut]

It was not Klaasen's wicket but Bumrah's 3rd over which changed the game. Best bowler in last 15 years after Steyn.

 

[subshakerz]

Glad Kohli will retire with a trophy. Now he just needs his test average over 50 again.

 

[reyrey]

For those who weren't sure the catch regarding Yadavs foot not being in touch with the ground. The catch was fine, laws were changed around 10 years to allow this.

 

[King Kane]

Kohli, is a great batsman but if I wanted someone to bat for entertainment I would pick Rohit, if I wanted someone to bat for my life I would pick Kohli.

 

[cnerd123]

There's no score for Bumrah to defend without Kohli's knock.

Bumrah should be POTM tho

 

[Kirkut]

A more well-rounded bowler than either in my opinion. Will surpass both if he can play another five years.

Better than Waqar and 3rd best from subcontinent if he maintains the quality till the end of his career.

 

[subshakerz]

Nah. If Klaasen was there they could have still scored singles and then pounded the last two overs. They literally just needed two boundaries in the last three overs plus singles to coast to victory.

Losing him lost all momentum.
