ICC Champions Trophy 2013 - England & Wales

[SaiSrini]

To win without two of the possibly current best fast bowlers in the world, against a Pakistan team that has a very good bowling attack, great win this for South Africa.

WI will now have Pakistan fans' wholehearted support. WI need to win their remaining two games for Pakistan to remain in the tournament. Hope India win tomorrow and put Pakistan out of the tournament and make the last game inconsequential. I can be relieved and then watch the Ind vs Pak game if that happens.

It's pathetic to see Pakistan losing to a South African side which does not even have have their two strike bowlers. Just shows how bad Pakistan batting is.

There is nothing easy when Pakistan is chasing

Its just stupid Farhat and Akmal that bring out pressure on the Pakistan middle order. First farhat gets out on 0 then hafeez gets under pressure and loses his wicket and then finally when Pakistan need one good score of 30 -40 then Kamran does his 0 . Misbah and jamshed cannot hold Pakistan's batting . Some good selector needs to change these nonsense players.

This team doesn't deserve to go past first stage. Better go back home

What kind of Pakistani fans would hope Pakistan gets into semi final . After all this Rubbish performance , I don't hope anything from Pakistan until Farhat and Akmal are in the team. Even hardly we can imagine them beating any team from champions trophy.

Pakistan have done a lot of mistakes and the main one is dumping their best batsman after Inzamam in the last decade for them.Its obviously none other than Yousaf Youhana.

First of all, the atmosphere at the start of the match was amazing. Must have been close to 99% Pakistani fans. Feel sorry for the SA fan, who got punched in the face when Pakistan won. The police had to get involved.

Pakistan lost because Farhat is aweful, and Malik is too slow. Why did they not go hard at the new ball. Anyways, I am not going to comment on this game, because it will just anger me.

IMHO, Pakistan don't deserve to go through, and I hope they don't. In this group, am now supporting India.

If history has an impact on the present, FTR, the Indians have a poor record at The Oval.

So far its lookin good for the Indians in this match.... Bhuvi gave a good start for them by dismissing Gayle though Yadav went for runs...then WI were dominating a little until sir ji was introduced into the attack, who has picked 3 wkts as of now and now Its the Bravo Bros on the crease for WI... Game in balance now...

Darren Bravo has sucked the momentum out of the innings.

India have done alright today. Only critical point would be why Jadeja has 5 overs in the bag with 10 overs to go?

 

[Samuels]

Surprised to see Narine batting above Rampaul. The latter has done relatively better with the willow against India.

This is why maybe, 5 for Jadeja!

 

[Aalay]

It's all about Sir Ravindra Jadeja!

 

[Epic]

Again, our death bowling a real real problem, well played Sammy though!

 

[LiveLoveABD]

This is why maybe, 5 for Jadeja!

He bowled well, no question. He bought India back into the game, but there's no question that Dhoni made a tactical error. I don't mind him using Kohli, but there's no reason why Ashwin wasn't used for his full quota and Jadeja was bowling in the death.
