March 12 : India vs South Africa

Actually Gambhir played quite well which is what makes Virat useless lower down the order. He can't come in and slog straight away. So Raina might be useful down at 7. 310-320 at max can be reached now unless Dhoni goes berserk. Which is a good but not quite a convincing score with the bowlers we have.

But whats noticeable is the pitch is slowing down so it won't be easy for SA to chase this score down.

Gambhir was bull crap, I SAY IT ABSOLUTE BULL CRAP!!! His inability to keep things moving was a major cause for this collapse. Sachin's eye for milestones (getting nervous on nearing 100) cost us momentum, and this is what has happened.

Steyn was hammered at the beginning, and its ugly that we gave him 5 wkts on a platter. Bull crap! Dhoni takes a single first ball and gives Nehra and Munaf the chance to face the grenades. IDIOT! Poor captaincy, poor batting in the end. We deserve to lose this well.
 
70 off 75 batting exclusively in the middle overs is more than good enough.

This is Yusuf's, Kohli's, and Yuvraj's fault, not Gambhir's.

Gambhir was crap! It was just an innings to play himself into form and secure his spot for a few more matches. The way he struggled to push the scoring, he is a waste of space if Sehwag and Tendulkar bat for a good number of overs.
 
Most of them couldn't even cross the infield :facepalm


Deepika waved the camera and then this collapse started.Unlucky Women

i think it is called Wish Kaniya in hindi right?
 
Holy moly, what a come back! Was keeping quiet up until 40 minutes ago, but even if we lose now I will still be proud of SA for that fight back. The little master played brilliantly again, but what a performance from Steyn.

You're right.

It's Gambhir's fault our 4 through 11 scored a combined 28 runs.
 
cricketing Nehra!! go and die!! have something that humans have and called brain!!

Give Dhoni strike

Dhoni takes a single first ball and gives Nehra strike as if Yuvraj or Sachin's soul has entered Nehra. And you blame Nehra?
 
You're right.

It's Gambhir's fault our 4 through 11 scored a combined 28 runs.

His inability to push the momentum caused those 4 to get out trying to play extravagant shots. I would say Sachin should also be blamed a bit. Sachin of all people cant get out slogging.

Well it didn't really cost us much because he made up for it and end result? 70(75) which is not bad. But i think the batting order was not right, Dhoni should've learned from England game that Kohli is useless down at 7, he cant come in and hit. so should've sent him earlier might have taken 1-2 over to settle but we would've surely gone over 300.

And agreed about Dhoni, i was not quite sure what was on his mind while batting with tail enders. Instead of trying and hitting he was looking for singles. But still I'm quite sure match is not over yet, our bowlers have not been good in just few matches. Remember not long ago we defended 195 or something against SA.
