15th June - 2nd Semifinal - India vs Bangladesh

[Contra]

That Kohli cover drive

 

[honestbharani]

The King's Cover and On drive making an appearance just for moi What a sight those shots were. The on drive can be played both with a straight bat and straight hands or the wrist work and flick and the cover drive, the same thing. Ball went to either end of the V. Just amazing. And they had deep fielders for both shots.


Funny to see Shane Warne and Graeme Smith on comms together too. Another thing we can thank the IPL for. Those guys wont have ever gotten along but for the IPL.

 

[honestbharani]

This cover drive off Rubel was a classic out of the textbook cover drive, the earlier one off Fizzy was the one with the wrist snap to get it a wee bit squarer.. In terms of range of shots, I think only Steve Smith beats him among the big 4.

You can't support India now in the final.

I can support whoever the **** I want.

You want to talk about things people can't do, then here is one: you can't make a coherent argument.

 

[Pratters]

Such a flat wicket. They really should have got 300+.

 

[srbhkshk]

I don't understand how every single Indian batsman gets in form for the ICC tourneys, but man, I sure do love it.

 

[honestbharani]

Some of these shots and these two matching each other stroke for stroke is reminding me of this game now.

 

[Contra]

Only issue I have is that our lower middle order hasn't had much time in the middle, would send it Dhoni next if a wicket falls.

lol warne is trying his best to make the match interesting

 

[honestbharani]

Guntaas: "This was Dhawan's lowest score in the Champions Trophy (excluding the 20 over match vs eng ) . # some are champion players and some are champions trophy players."

Pretty much low hanging fruit. Not very inventive or even original but still made me chuckle..

Jeffin: "Rohit Sharma seems to have a liking for '264'...whether he scores it or the opposition!"

This one not bad either.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Some mauling this. About 60-70 runs short with the bat and no penetration with the ball

 

[honestbharani]

There is the wrist snap cover drive from the King..

 

[fredfertang]

Hardly worth rushing home from work for the denouement of this one

 

[honestbharani]

OS should read the match commentary on crapinfo. Some fans are seriously wubbing over the King's cover drives.

 

[honestbharani]

And nnow a wrist snap straight drive to complement those picture perfect copy book ones earlier in the innings.

[OverratedSanity]

Shame we didn't have a Nohit no-ball controversy this time

 

[Contra]

Well played Rohit, gotta repeat it next game too.

 

[honestbharani]

Well done Nohit.. Champion ODI batsman.
