These 2 will be competitive and interesting.

Good Luck to both the teams.

[mukeshkr]

Team India Will Go to make a history during this ODI Series. Both teams are unbeatable in the ODI Series for 18 Months. One team will lose the Series orMay be the series will draw. The 1st Match was most exciting for Indian Viewers... Predict Who Will Win & Post live Update here

[bolero]

South Africa have won the toss, will bat first.

[bolero]

Chahal, Kuldeep, Kedar Jadhav all are playing along with Bhuvaneshwar and Bumrah in the pace attack.

I am surprised as Durban is always known as a track where ball does a lot. Ok Pandya is playing.

[bolero]

South Africa XI: Quinton de Kock (wk), Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis (capt.), Aiden Markram, JP Duminy, David Miller, Chris Morris, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Morne Morkel, Imran Tahir


India XI: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (capt.), Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal

-----

In Leo's words, best of luck to both teams.

[Paddles]

Where's ABDV?

[bolero]

Bumrah, Bhuvi, Chahal and Kuldeep will bowl 40 and Hardik and Kedar 10 overs between them. Batting for India looks a little dodgy. Rahane gives some comfort.

[bolero]

Where's ABDV?

Injured.

[bolero]

Shreyas Iyer must have felt a little hard done by. Not picked.

[bolero]

Chahal gets his first wicket in SA.

that is not bad but stealing other person's thread in live games should not forgive
poor BOYCES not even know the venue right


85 for 2

Who is stealing thread ? Mind your language.

[bolero]

Kohli injured his knee while diving. Off the field. Looks serious.

[Paddles]

Safrica better rethink their team with no ABDV and Morris at 7.

134/5 after 28 overs, this is going to take some saving by Safrica now.

Still with batting at 8, and Tahir, Morkel and Rabada, not impossible.

But I'm not sure Phelukwayo has it with the bat as much as Safrica will want.

But Pretorious and Mulder while established batsmen, don't quite fill his quota spot.

[Boycs]

He was off the field for a time, jamming his knee into the turf, but he is back on now.

[bolero]

They are struggling against Kuldeep and Chahal. I expected this. Check my South Africa preview thread.

no not true
miller caught virat bowls KY

Check Boycs comment. He hurt his knee badly and applied ice pack. Back on field.

[Paddles]

Eccentric cricket millionaires, you'd think they'd have better things to do when they're off the cricket field.

[Going South]

210/6 in 42 overs. if restricted for 250 bowlers have done their job.

[bolero]

Indian fielding has been shabby, dropped catches, misfieldings.

[Boycs]

Only six extras isn’t bad for India. Target of around 270 ought to make it a more interesting game

[Going South]

269 is way beyond expectations. good batting at the death.

[bolero]

Ball swings a lot under lights at Durban.Difficult Chase. SA scored at least 30 runs more than what India would have wanted them to.

The benefit of an allrounder at 8.

[raja]

Duminy still gets selected for SA?

[Going South]

fine example for why test players should not play ODIs and vice versa. keep your potatoes and carrots separate.

So drop Kohli from which format?

GOING SOUTH OF CRICFORUM says:
Kohli, an ultimate chase master giving it back to the Proteas in their den (breaking their home winning streak in ODIs).

BOLERO of CRICFORUM says:
What would be going through Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey's mind? Will they be happy for anchoring role of Rahane which took India home or will they be bothered about their no.4 spot? -- For now, they will celebrate a fine win

Where did you get these from?

I read people’s mind and thought ,very deeply

[raja]

Ok, I see that you took the comments from cricbuzz, and changed the names to GS and bolero.

If we post anything from another site, we usually give credit to it, in the form of a link or at least mentioning it.
Copyright issues apart, it is basic courtesy.

[bolero]

Duminy still gets selected for SA?

He is like Afridi. Never seems to retire.

Virat Kohli, Man of the Match:

Dont do this copy paste stuff and wrongly attribute comments to us. Always post a link , the source of the article.

This is basic forum rules.

[Paddles]

Afridi has retired.

So has Nehra.

Bhaji, Gayle, Herath and Malik are current evergreens. Herath prolly has best odds to make it to 2020's.

I put together a full list of 90's intls still playing in a previous thread with Boycs.

To be fair - the Bolero comment almost sounds like something he'd say. The Going South one, not so much.

Thats interesting. Would like to see the names. Yeah, Herath and Malik too never seem to retire.

Afridi has made so many comebacks you never know when he is retiring and then making a comeback.

[Going South]

i say kohli should never be playing test cricket that too as a captain.

[Leo]

South Africa in trouble. 3 down at 51.

[Going South]

59/4
good start by the boys.

[Leo]

99/5.

Game is already end!!!

[Going South]

110/7

[Leo]

118/10

Yuzvendra Singh Chahal 5/22

[Going South]

wow. total domination. ODI kings indeed.

[louie_db9]

India need 2 runs to win and they go off for lunch.

Fu cking stupid decision.

[bolero]

What a ridiculous decision, they go for lunch with India needing 2 to win.The umpires need to be shot.

[Going South]

target reached within 20 overs. IPL fever started early. hahahahahaha

[raja]

Team BCCI is on a roll here.
Looks like that Johannesburg Test lifted them so much that even the players who weren't part of it are now inspired to a different level.
Wonderful to see Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav pick up wickets again.
This BCCI squad, led from the front by Kohli, is on its way to all-time greatness.

[squarecut]

South Africa too selected two wrist spinners, just like Indians, hoping to beat India at their own game.

Outcome- Indian wrist spinners toyed with South African batsmen. Later, Indian batsmen toyed with South African wrist spinners.

You need to use some sort of code to help tell your jinxed apart from genuine praise

Congrats India

It can get confusing at times.As you don't know which team he is actually supporting.

Probably Raja prefers it that way.
