8th Match - South Africa v India

[h_hurricane]

The game is a great leveller. Might just be around the corner.

There it comes.

 

[Arachnodouche]

We've got close enough for the middle order to take us home. Too much asked of whatever Rabada and Morris have left.

 

[trundler]

Sharma still there.

 

[Arachnodouche]

What execrable music to chase down a score to.

 

[h_hurricane]

Rahul another soft dismissal. Needs to learn how to convert starts to cement his place in ODIs.

 

[Borges]

Asinine shot, in the context of the game.

 

[SeamUp]

Imran started well but India have blunted him like they normally do.

 

[Arachnodouche]

lol@Sourav and Viru in the Hindi box.

 

[trundler]

Phehlukwayo and Shamsi won't be breaking India's back now

 

[andruid]

So South Africa a really crashing out of the world cup like this?

I hope they do not break their own back. SA is really short of bowling resources. Wouldn't want to see any more injuries.

With the RRR at 5.2 and Dhoni at the crease, SA still have a chance.

 

[h_hurricane]

The scorecard may say otherwise, but SA have put in an admirable effort with the ball. Much more than one would expect given all the injury issues.

Their batting against spin is absolute s***e though. And this has happened WC after WC.

[Burner]

Dhoni again with the eye sore that is those pads. This guy is supposed to be a multi millionnaire..

 

[StephenZA]

Pretty good bowling effort even with the conditions. Did not think that we would get India to a 6 rpo required rate. Particularly when only 3 wickets down and Rohit has batted the entire innings.

 

[h_hurricane]

It is in the Dhoni genes to get the required RR high enough to cause minor jitters at the very least.

 

[BSM]

It's a perfectly suited approach for the match situation but I feel Dhoni as India's finisher is gonna cost them at some point. He is the most solid when it comes to chasing tricky 250s but against 300+ he'll probably do more good than harm. Luckily India's bowling means that they won't be chasing 300 a lot

 

[Burner]

Fatso to fatso

Lucky Rohit will now win the MoM despite Chahal's 4-fer
