I haven't come all the way to India to go and watch them lose to SL, it's in the stars they're gonna win that game.

Really? I assumed we were quite good in 2009-2011 period in ODIs as well.Our pace bowling is having its best year in ODI since 2003 .
But this Indian attack is the best ever that we have churned out. No contest against what fielded in the 2003 World Cup.

That's quite a scorecard. I expected SA to lose when I went to bed, but not this spectacularly.

They have a week off before the Netherlands, and the three fast bowlers bowled 5,4, and 4 overs today and were on the field for 25 overs. So I don't see what they need to rest from.
...if anything they would want to keep things going and use Netherlands as a warmup for the elimination matches. Obviously if there is any small injuries, it may be worth it.

83.

There's Green Shield sides who would have made more than 83, and I'm not kidding.
Meant to be a top of the table match up easing into the business end. Show some balls ffs and grind out a couple of hundred at least, knowing you'll have to bat under lights later in the tournament.
Eighty three. Come on. It's ****ing pathetic.

Yeah I think rythm and match practice are real things that we don’t want to disrupt before the knockouts. There is a small injury risk that comes with any game but given the time between games it’s not going to be fatigue driven and thus unlikely to be significant enough.
Not too fussed if they do rest someone but it better not be Shami - want to see his record go to even more ridiculous levels.

if England put this team to bed properly SA might have had a better chance today.

I totally agree, it's pathetic how they surrendered. Why not get much needed match practice under the lights.. No mental toughness.
This leads me to believe that South Africa aren't winning the cup

I don't know. SA didn't exactly throw it away, apart from Miller playing that suicidal shot one time too many.

Biggest positive for me from this game was lower order batting of Surya and Jadeja. We have got some finishing power down at 6 and 7 even though the tail after that is worrying. Although when Shami was asked about playing #8, he boasted that he scored fifty at Lord's lol.
Also, I feel India is stronger batting first. Their bowlers won't give anything away with even moderate scorecard pressure. Given long tail India should not take chances chasing in knockouts.
