And to all SA fans, now that you are out of the world cup(Where you had the best chance to win), listen to this.

 

"

You have had a great team, and a great run. BUT STOP PROCLAIMING YOURSELF CHAMPIONS OR WORLD BEATERS, without proving a dime. I personally love a couple of guys in the team, ABD stands right on top, but your blind fanboyism and inability to come to terms with the facts is more irritating then anything that can be imagined. Feel free to support who you want, go for it, no harm, no problem, but stop proclaiming yourself god of the game. You re not, you probably never will be. You have a great team, stop acting like bangladeshi supporters, both you and your team deserve better"

 

Here is hoping that when we have T20 world cup next year, you guys have learnt your lesson and act mature, like your captain FINALLY did. Go on prove it and then brag about it.

 

Peace Out.

 

ABD is one of the best cricketers ever, just no doubt about it. Dale Steyn is one of the most overrated ODI bowler, just no doubt about it.

 

So damn true..

Nothing against SA team..I think ABD is my fav non Indian player..

But there fans are too obnoxious..Hopefully they reach finals and lose to us in T20 wc :P

Kevin Pietersen dumps IPL for England comeback:

 

 


Kevin Pietersen will not ply his trade in the Indian Premier League this year and will instead join an England county team in a bid to boost his international comeback after his IPL franshise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) agreed to release him for the first phase of the 2015 IPL.

 

In a statement released by Pietersen, SRH, who had shelled out Rs 2 crore for the top-order batsman during the 2015 auction, agreed to release him after ECB chairman Colin Graves' comments that Pietersen could be considered again, provided he commits to playing county cricket first.

 

"The agreement allows Pietersen to miss the Sunrisers' entire league fixtures, but will see him recalled should the team reach the knockout stages of the competition (which commence on 19 May and finish with the final on 24 May)," read the statement.

 

Pietersen, who was unceremoniously sacked from the England setup 14 months back, said in the statement that he is looking forward to the upcoming season and thanked the IPL franchise for their support.

 

"I'm hugely grateful for all the support and understanding I've received from everyone at the Sunrisers and the IPL. My focus is now very much on the upcoming season in England and I'm absolutely determined to score as many runs as possible.

 

"I've never made any secret of my overwhelming desire to once again represent England and I'm going to do everything in my power to earn a recall to the international set-up.

 

"To once again put on that England shirt would be a privilege and an honour, but now I have to focus on performing domestically and give myself the best possible chance of meriting selection."

He's not gonna be picked for England team..It'll be a huge insult to ECB if they do...

No IPL , No England contract..Will end up with nothing..

Fuddu kheechega, and on personal front I would never want to play for a team again, who made it clear they don't want me. I then f**ked them in a book. Engloland is just a f**ked up team right now.

fk what a match that was. too stressful.

 

i'm actually hoping for a one sided india win in our semi. dont think i'll be able to take the stress. somehow i feel more on edge this campaign. wasnt like this last WC, CT or even wt20 :samui:

 

one other reason i was supporting NZ (other than the obnoxious SA fans & media) is somehow i got the gut feeling that if SA go thru then OZ will win their s/f & if NZ win then India will. no logic just feeling

 

also, i always look for patterns & in 2011 Nz beat SA in their Q/f & india beat oz in their's so hope the pattern continues *fingers crossed*

 

 

Steyn One of the most over rated ODI Bowler.

 

absolutely. always seen him hit around the park. dont know how he's #1 in icc rankings

 

 

 

And to all SA fans, now that you are out of the world cup(Where you had the best chance to win), listen to this.

it's not only the fans who do that. even their media & the own team. read all of ABD's PC's. it was all we're the best, no question we'll win etc. absolute arrogance. have never heard any captain talk like that. not even the arrogant Oz teams of the past. it was highly disrespectful & it seemed like they believed they only had to turn up & the other team would crumble in front of their "superiority". now i know it was all bravado & trying to instill confidence in his team but it just seemed bit too much.

 

& that "Protea Fire" campaign :lol: i dont like our "we wont give it back" sh*t either but thats not done by bcci its the tv channel (who have never exhibited good taste) so you cant blame the team for it

Well, I do appreciate the confidence and support for our Team India but Sab aise baat kar rahein hain, Jaise Australia ke players bachpan se gilli danda khel ke bade hue hain!! They are Australians, 4 Time World Champions and most of them know How to handle pressure.

 

Inspite of all, I hope India Winsarrow-10x10.png.

 

NZ vs IND will be EPIC and I won't mind any side winsarrow-10x10.png. Will be cheering for NZ though.

#ProteaChokers was trending big time today on twitter :rofl:



Just saw the highlights again, crying ABD and Steyn :rofl:



They honestly believed they could win. What a idiot team. Only won against minnows and WI, and then against SL due to SL brainfreeze. And then they thought they could be world champions :rofl: Never seen such a delusional side. And that #ProteaFire campaign OMFG :rofl: They even had a video where they played with kids etc. I think they should play in kids WC only, maybe they can win that. ABD (ABC actually) said that I hope our home fans are proud of us. Why BC? For winning against minnows and dominating WI? Never seen such a stupid player who speaks from his a*s.



I hope we have a repeat of 2011 WC QFs. One SF has already gone according to script. Group A topper defeated Group B 2nd place, now its turn for Group B topper to defeat Group A topper.


Both unbeaten teams should collide in finals, and may the best team win.



Or it will be repeat of 2011 WC where both home teams clashed in finals and the one with home crowd won the WC. Anything can happen.

Doubt that because I rarely see him play good while chasing....As luck would have it just like Steyn, have heard only of his greatness against the likes of WI and weaker sides..

I think SA is the most over hyped team ever in cricketing history :fear1:..way more than the 1999-2007 Australian squad (which IMO had the greatest team in recent times :bow: )...and it happens before every damn world cup, do not know how...

Yeah just because he bats well against minnows and in piddy IPL tournaments, That run out miss was also lolworthy. And they say he is the best fielder. Also their bowling was very weak, and then they made stupid changes like bringing in Philandor out of injury in place of Abott directly in semi. Also persisting with De c*ck, who failed regularly and succeeded only when chasing a small target of 133. Such decisions need to be taken very carefully. Also during the final moments, Duminy ran like a idiot on Beharadien and resulted in drop catch. WTF was he thinking? Hilarious sh*t. SA fielders were jumping and diving around like headless chickens :rofl:

I meant in comparison with someone like Kohli...

No doubt he is super explosive (like of which we have wa-ay too many these days), talented and one of the greatest fielder....But still there lot many aspects where he falls flat..
