The Cricket World Cup Thread
Re: The Cricket Thread
Why no one is talking about SS's performance. He has delivered what he promised in SA. Yet all they can write about is his sledging. As if only he sledges.
Re: The Cricket Thread
The last 50 overs of Indian bowling has been like a club team s performance, the wicket has a lot of help for the bowlers and yet the lines and lengths have been shabby.
I am sorry but this bowling is rubbish. with Sehwag, Dravid, Pujara not scoring more than 20 in this series. Tendulkar not having a great 2nd iniings record. DHoni having only 1 out of 5 good iniings and a tail that crumbles more often than it performes, it will be a miracle if India win this match. and to top it Gambhir being injured, I think the South Africans should have a celebration party tonight with lots of booze food and women.

Re: The Cricket Thread
In this test, India has conceded 20 no balls, while SA just one.
Each run (as well penny) counts......
I wont be called a millioner if I am short by a Pennny.

Re: The Cricket Thread
With Steyn bowling like he is, it is impossible to chase 300+ here. Man I really hate Kallis right now.
Re: The Cricket Thread
Guys this is day 4. They are not going to declare today looks like. We have just one day to negotiate.
Just imagine is Sehwag gets going....

Re: The Cricket Thread
And sehwag won't. He's not in form and hasn't been this entire season.
A draw is the most likely outcome, seems like. Dravid and laxman with sub-40 strike rates playing into the twlight is how I see it.

Thats highly unlikely for Steyn's bunny. These wickets are too fast for Sehwag to runs. If India are to win Sehwag needs to score 170 plus.
And lets in all the tours in SA when it comes to somthing as a series winning innings nobody has stood up and counted themselves. and if you look at the bowling and feilding now, it is of a side that has given up.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Betting odds:
DRAW is fav @ 1.60 - SA @ 2.60 - IN @ 13.00
Bhaji gets his sixth sense....
Morkel OUT.
Its all outttttttttttttttttt
So kallis gets stranded without a partner!
He has an average now, which is superior to that of SRT.

Come on, that is unfair. Kallis played a brilliant knock. Who knows what we will do tomorrow. Let us not be that quick in judging our own boys.SaiK wrote:It looks like we are spineless!
Re: The Cricket Thread
341 all out, Bhaj gets 7, Tsotsobe hits one to long on after 2 consecutive 4s
340 to win - COME ON INDIA!

Re: The Cricket Thread
Everyone congratulates Kallis... contrast this with his behavior when Indians batted.Harbhajan shakes hands with Kallis. The other player congratulate him as well. Warm applause from the dressing room and big cheers from the crowd
Re: The Cricket Thread
Right now STeyn will try and get 2 wickets tonight. Well somehow the SA seem to Like and the will to win which we lack. this is probably because of our education system and DNA
Re: The Cricket Thread
Tonight? I think its stumps for today.
Re: The Cricket Thread
Day 4 is over. I hope Steyn sprains his arm while reaching around to flush the toilet in the morning tomorrow.

India lacks killer instinct.........
Re: The Cricket Thread
dilbu..
All depends on sewag for 350 plus against steyn and morkel. If he can score a quick century, then may be.. fair?

Re: The Cricket Thread
A measly 340 runs required and SDREs go shivering, even with gods at their request. Better to be a skeptic than a believer with no benefits.
Sehwag, RD and VVS will ensure an Indian victory.

Re: The Cricket Thread
WHatever, no excuse for the way we started bowlign leg stump half volleys to Boucher when he came to Bat and wasted the 2nd new ball after SRT got Boucher out.
The worst part is on the same wicket Steyn and Morkel will do all sorts of things....
Justice will be there if India score 200/0 by lunch tomorrow.

Re: The Cricket Thread
TI should just approach it as a 90 over ODI and treat the balls on merit if we loose despite that I won't feel bad, however I hate it when our batsmen dig a hole for themselves by not even trying to take a single off Paul Harris's lousy bowling.

For the fun of it---
The amazing Punter Preservation Programme
Ricky Ponting is due to have surgery on his little finger this week, but in a bold move, Cricket Australia have brought in some of the leading scientists in the field of biomechanics in a bid to rejuvenate Punter and extend his career for a few more years.
“Originally the plan was for Ricky to be phased out in 2011,” said Professor Hilditch, “But that was before we realised how bad Michael Clarke was at captaincy. So we’ve decided to upgrade the old guy and equip him for the future challenge of hanging around until we can find a half-decent skipper.”
In a pioneering procedure, Ricky’s pinky will be replaced with a laser pointing device with which to dazzle incoming bowlers; his right eye will be fitted with a sphere detection system, enabling him to pick up those hard-to-spot 85mph deliveries from James Anderson and he will wear special gloves that automatically secrete saliva every five seconds, thus removing the need to spit on his palms incessantly.
But perhaps the most challenging part of the procedure is the never-before-attempted brain swap. Former Australian captain Ian Chappell has agreed to temporarily exchange brains with Ricky. If all goes well, it is a win-win arrangement. Australia will get a half-decent captain and levels of grumpiness amongst Channel Nine’s commentary team will remain unaffected.

The moment SDREs start playing for time, it can be guaranteed that a SA win is around the corner... the only way to ecaspe out of this situation is free flowing cricket making SA go on the defensive.
Re: The Cricket Thread
So to war we go.... zor se bolo: India will lose onree
Re: The Cricket Thread
I say bring it on, I am hungry . And you can go an line up outside burger king or McDonalds with a placard around your chest saying that even though you are an inferior SDRE, you are trying your best to become TFTA by eating burgers and so should be spared the contempt and wrath reserved for SDREs like me, Ishaant Sharma, Sreesanth etc .SaiK wrote:curd rice with lemon pickle. more dhood
All:
Disappointing bowling performance guys. At 122/6 or so after lunch when Prince got out, I thought, India will clean up the tail pretty quickly, and went to bed. Got the shock of my life when I went to bed and got up several hours later to findthat Kallis is still batting. It will be a tough game to save, especially if we loose early wickets. But lets see!!!
Re: The Cricket Thread
what happened to Gambhir? saw him sitting in the pavilion and not fielding, will he bat tomorrow?
hopefully, Sehwag will get off to a good start, lasts 10 overs at least, and MS can promote himself to 3 to try and put some pressure early on - once Steyn and Morkel get tired, Tsotsobe and Harris will be on ...without Kallis, their seamers will have to do a lot more work and will be tired later on, we just have to wait after the initial onslaught
if 3/4 wickets are lost very quickly, probably should play for a draw

Re: The Cricket Thread
I just got up and looked at the score..wow! looks like Kallis is the new god!
Re: The Cricket Thread
only dhood sewag can pale the stain or morph the moork.
gawd kallis!!! who is raktabija then?

Re: The Cricket Thread
Gambhir will not bat tomorrow. So RD will open with VS.
Re: The Cricket Thread
Cricinfo indicates Gambhir will play, but is out of the ODI series afterwards, just like Kallis.

And both play in slow motion!
Hence no win for India - either a draw - or a loss.
