That just gave SA a heap of momentum.
Great match. Amazing cricket by both.
But wow, what a decision by Dhoni. Horrible captaincy. Inexplicable really.

Message to SA: for future matches, get rid of van Wyk entirely. He's hopeless. Give AB the gloves.

Then you can play Tahir, Botha and Peterson and have more batting and bowling.

Thought there was slight injury concerns over AB which is why they prefer not to give him the gloves. He is obviously a very valuable batsman alone, and they won't want to risk that. Especially with him needing a runner today aswell.

Dhoni did so well the whole match with his rotations and then just totally ruined everything with this call.

I don't understand why he lets Nehra to bowl the last over. I just don't. We have seen time and time that Nehra gives away too many runs in the last over.

Well Done Dhoni, What an average performance as a captain.

I'd have bowled Harbhajan. But it's not that bad a decision. Nehra has bowled the last over in chases in matches in the past and done a good job.

If SA have managed to hit Nehra out of the Indian team this could be a blessing in disguise. The guy shouldn't come within a hundred miles of a pressure situation in a knock-out game.

Congratulations to SA, they came back very well in the fist innings and in the second innings they were patient, they will be very proud of their performance.

India otoh, 2nd time in this tournament came up short when they should have won based on the foundations they got by their batsmen. But their captain let them down today.

  • there will be at least 1 ton from each side and one 4for from each side
  • the batting powerplay for each team will be an exciting time (lots of runs or lots of wickets)
  • the first batting team will score 350+ and the 2nd team will come damn close to chasing it down but will be bowled out
  • classic match which will be generate more than 750 posts in this thread

post count in this thread will probably reach 750, but not yet.

I'm just glad that I'm better at fantasy cricket than these predictions

One bad decision will never make him a bad captain...remember Champions trophy...Super over...Ashwin....CSK winner's...:)

Edit:**** u patel

I don't give a **** about 2nd rate test matches or ODI. World cup is what matters and Dhoni once again failed as a captain.

Bhajji should have bowled. I really don't know what Dhoni was thinking. Ugh. We would have won this or tied it if Bhajji had bowled last over and Patel hadn't given away some fours and sixes. A** performance by Patel and Nehra. **** them to the core.
