Super 8: 24th Match India v SA

[SaiSrini]

Great comeback by India. It will be great if India chase anything around 120 but India will still loose.

Come on, be optimistic! We can win

 

[Gurjot95]

Another wicket here hope India can chase this target. I am not keeping much hopes though.

It's just annoying when you do it. You actually mean it. Stop.

Good bowling by India. Was good thinking on Dhoni's part to use a more spin oriented bowling attack today.

Great bowling by India
I am sure India can chase down 130:

 

[SaiSrini]

India have done well to restrict SA to 130 in 20 overs. Its a spinning track, but SA look like champions and stopping them to 130 is a very good thing.

Jadeja bowls really well again (3 overs for 9 runs and the wicket of De Villiers). This guy needs to correct his batting and he can definitely be a very useful T20 player (in fact, this guy would be perfect for our ODI plans since he scores at run a ball quite easily and he can bowl these tight overs even in T20).

Yeh, I said it before. The reason he was selected for the ODI tour of Sri Lanka was for his performance in the Ranji Trophy. That is a 4 day competition. At least ODI cricket is slightly closer to that than Twenty20 cricket. He obviously prefers to play longer innings and doesn't like the pressure of having to score that quickly. Another problem is that he is too skinny. He needs to bulk up a little before he can entertain thoughts of clearing the boundary. In the meantime, we should use him in the longer formats. ODI cricket for now. If he has 1-2 more good Ranji seasons, I would certainly love to have an all rounder in the test team. Really gives the team some variety.

i might get all the vcash i lost before .i can clear my debts

48-1 from 6.1 overs is quite good for India in chase of 131. Spin is king here! Its crucial for us to play the spinners well. Its close to run a ball chase from now. We should do this if we play sensibly.

Dont expect Yuvraj to do well today. His weakness is spin, and this pitch has lots of it!

 

[Chetan0304]

Spinners had already brought 3 top order batsmen down.

66/3 India require another 65 runs with 7 wickets and 44 balls remaining.

looking tough?

MSD run out!

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Now need the wicket of Yuvi pathan gone btw :banana2

 

[SaiSrini]

This is really tough to bat against the spinners. But Dhoni's wicket was comical and a huge blunder. When you are already losing wickets like mad to the spinners, you cant get involved in such run outs.

Disastrous World Cup for India AND DHONI! Yuvraj should try to clear the park when the fast bowlers come in.

 

[Sartaj]

WOW! SA is starting to become an invincible side! the quality of spin bowlers made all the difference.
