SA tour of India - 2015

[phoneJunky]

I called a 100 on Dhoni didn't I.

Well, he missed it.

They said par score is 350?

 

[Arthur]

I called a 100 on Dhoni didn't I.

You did. He did better than I thought he would.

5th bowler becoming our weak link in the bowling. Going at six an over with no wickets to show for it in a low scoring game is just not good enough

 

[Neoprod]

Without Ashwin, India shouldn't be able to defend this...then again, we shouldn't have defended 303 last time out.

 

[Dan C]

Now for the run chase ....

It's okay in this game because the leading bowlers were very good and the opposition batting wasn't able to take full advantage. If the expected trade-off of a good batting performance from Duminy takes place, then it's a well-balanced side for today (it may not always work out that way but I don't think 100% perfect selection is possible anyway - there's always a compromise somewhere).

Ag nee man, Hash.

 

[Neoprod]

Ag nee man, Hash.

I blame Raja -

Raja: "SA will win without loss of wicket. Without Ashwin this bowling is flat as dining table." Here's Axar Patel now, round the wicket to Amla

 

[sand_man]

Both openers gone to rash shots.

 

[Neoprod]

Go home, Cricinfo - you're drunk.

21.4 Raina to du Plessis, FOUR, overpitched on off, patted back to the bowler

 

[NeonNinja]

And the roars are wild AB de Villiers is out there

134/3.

 

[Dan C]

Faf is going OK at the moment 50 for him.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Go home, Cricinfo - you're drunk.

Lol, must've been the most epic misfield of all time!

 

[Dan C]

Damn I should not have said that... Faf out

 

[Agent_Smith]

Faf is going OK at the moment 50 for him.

Technically, you weren't wrong; just stating a fact. Now if you'd said, "Faf looking good for a 100 here..."

 

[NeonNinja]

Patel to du Plessis, OUT, this one goes straight to Kohli at cover

In comes David Miller. 142/4.

 

[Dan C]

And there goes Miller ....

 

[NeonNinja]

Kumar to Miller, OUT, and Miller is gone! First delivery. Miller has to walk back. Another big wicket for India. Miller fishes at that and gets an edge through to Dhoni. First-ball duck

 

[Dan C]

Patel to du Plessis, OUT, this one goes straight to Kohli at cover

In comes David Miller. 142/4.

And out goes Miller .. 142/5

 

[NeonNinja]

100-run partnership incoming!
