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

[Burgey]

Looks like a good game. WD India, hard luck SA.

 

[Burgey]

I thought you liked Kohli?

Yeah I do. I think he was commenting on how highly I rate performances in finals over the junk games in the lead up. Which is the only right way to assess these things - if you do a Tendulkar and carve up in the rounds but choke on the biggest stage, you’re just another also ran. The point is winning, not getting there.
Happy for Kohli to go out with a win and a good knock, Sharma too. Good luck to them.

 

[Burgey]

Afgans have always had talented guys. They are just getting more opportunities now.

Which is an abomination tbh

 

[ankitj]

You are a legend. Forget November 19 now though.

Yeah, this win helps

 

[ankitj]

Axar in that over

The ulimate sacrifice lol

If India had lost, Rohit would have answered all his life why did he give 15th over to Axar. He had enough overs from pacers at that point and in the end he didn't bowl out Hardik's quota.

I think the question he’d be asked more is why didn’t he bring back Bumrah when Klassen was on 1*

I need to find my post where I said India got 10 runs too many.

Just waking up to the result. Condolences to SA fans (can empathise knowing how painful the 2019 WC final result was). Congratulations to India. Glad that Kohli performed well in his last T20 match. Bumrah is an ATG. A worthy final between two excellent sides.

I think out of all of South Africa's chokes, this is the one to end all of them. How do you not win from needing a run a ball with 5 overs to go with 6 wickets in hand? Bloody hell.

Bumrah though, what the ****. Clutch from Arshdeep too. Athlai in ruins.

Well done India, deserved some ICC silverware after how strong they've been across all formats in the last 5 years. Hard luck SA, we kiwis know how hard it is to come within touching distance and still fall short. Your team were great.

 

[Daemon]

That was a really fun world cup despite the ICC’s best efforts to ruin it

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Welcome to the club India, two-time world champions.

TBD. He's going to Zim for some games next.

Soft D. So Doo-bay.

 

[Qlder]

So we went through 55 matches just to crown the ICC #1 team the actual #1

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jansen is a great cricketer but his effectiveness increases as the length of the format does.

Based tbh

 

[duffer]

Soft D. So Doo-bay.

I call him doobie or dubes
