**Official** Super 8 Group 2 Discussion - Aus, Ind, Pak and SA

[Jono]

Don't blame Rohit for that dismissal. Yuvi played a **** shot to a straight slower one.

[Jono]

Faf really is the greatest first name ever

 

[Turbinator]

Jeez take it easy South Africa, no need to try so hard.

 

[Jono]

Ian Chappell deeply analysing Faf's leg spin action.

Exciting times for cricket.

 

[Contra]

come on raina make it count!

 

[Arjun]

This must surely be Gambhir's last T20I match. Time to look for a better option- at least one with a better strike rate or a T20 century.

 

[Shri]

I cannot believe how low raina gets to bat considering how out of form some of our players are, almost feel sorry for the guy.

Raina's best position is #3 in T20s. Kohli could bat at 4 and it wouldn't affect him with the form he is in atm.

 

[Jono]

Stiff, was a great effort.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

RSA helping Pak out by taking India out with them.

 

[Jono]

Just realised that the Pakistani fans have hung around and that's why anything Saffers do that is good is getting such a loud cheer.

 

[Contra]

Raina's best position is #3 in T20s. Kohli could bat at 4 and it wouldn't affect him with the form he is in atm.

I know, and he's got one of the better T20I records which is different from just T20 record. Which is why its all the more annoying. But the fact that Rohit Sharma gets to come before him is a joke.

 

[Shri]

Come on Raina, another 80 runs in 8 overs and we could bowl SA out for 120ish. gogogo

 

[ankitj]

Rohit Sharma is the new Ravindra Jadeja. ****s it when the team can least afford it.

 

[Jono]

What a shot from Raina. Was like a straight drive bunt lol.

 

[Arjun]

We need to go beyond this "Rohit Sharma is dire", "Raina can't play the short ball", "Sehwag and Gambhir are struggling", "India has weak bowling"- there is a global problem here. Indians are dreadful at T20Is, and they don't seem to care at all. We see nothing being done to improve their rapidly-declining standing in T20Is, and each time they step out, they have even less of a clue to survive in forty overs.

 

[Shri]

Good thing is Morkel has bowled out. The rest can be taken for runs if Sharma gets into the zone. Morkel more difficult to slog with his height and angle. Steyn should go for plenty here if he comes back.

 

[Turbinator]

What do you guys reckon we need to get to have even the slightest of chance at making the semis?

 

[Fusion]

Just realised that the Pakistani fans have hung around and that's why anything Saffers do that is good is getting such a loud cheer.

Haha, that's awesome. I've never rooted for SA this hard before.

Come on India, you've had your fun already. Just make it easy for us and capitulate.

 

[Arjun]

I'd say India need a minimum of 180 to have a chance. This bowling attack is just too weak to defend a small total, part-time support hype notwithstanding. They need to dig all the way down to nine (they bat till nine) to score big.
