3rd ODI (D/N), India tour of South Africa at Cape Town, Feb 7 2018

[RAZPOR]

Indian middle order has a serious problem and selectors and management are only making it worse .

Why keep bringing tried and tested failures at odi level ,karthik and now rahane again???

And hardik is not a no. 4 bat and we ll do better to not try and make him into one.

Serious blunders in selections are making an issue that could have been solved by few young faces in the lineup is being turned into a cluster f#ck of bad decisions .

Kohli 4444

Phelu bowled a slowed bouncer over the head at 90kph

Too much dependence on kohli...

[Shunya]

Kohli now has the highest score by an Indian vs SA in SA.

Previous best was 127 by Ganguly

Was that the 2000 Mini world cup semi final knock?

Unbelievable that Rahul and Iyer can't find a place in this side. 

Exactly. They are happy to play bits and pieces hacks like Jadhav.

No, he did in a triangular tournament with Sa, Kenya - 2001. This is the only time Sachin and Sourav could score a century against SA in SA. Sadly, we still lost.

Bhuvi shaming these middle order batsmen...

[NameGoesHere]

Rabada got the Hitman out?  How is that even possible?  In the best Gunda style:

 

Hitman mere bhai hitman, tu to mar gaya?

Rabada ne tujhe lamba kar diya?

Machis ki tili se khamba kar diya?

No, knock out tournament was in Nairobi, Kenya.

 

This is about knocks in South Africa.

 

This is the scorecard for the game

Simply superb strike rotation and running between the wickets from Kohli.

Not his fluent knock, but still able to score his 34th ODI ton. Kohli's batting in LOIs is at some other level in comparison to other top batters from around the world. 

[kruiser]

rare to see less than 100% strike rate for Kohli when he has hit > 120 runs

[kruiser]

Maaro morris ko..

That was a cracking knock by ganguly ,absolutely whacked pollock,ntini,kallis and klusner and iirc when he got out India's score was only 183 lol 

[Laaloo]

Kohli is awesome

With this middle order collapse, we are possibly watching the 'process' that gets Raina back into the team....
