India V SA - ICC Trophy First Semi Final

Congragulations India :)

:hehe:

Great. Now atleast andha_qanoon and Asif_k will come back. A_Q kinda disappeared for a while there, when the match was hanging in the balance.

Congrats India… well played. :k:

:rotfl:

tututu so sad…
see how stupid can you get :hehe:

it must be fair to say that south Africa Lost rather then india Won…
I cant think of any reason hy they kept taking singles when thy needed 58 from 48…
ehehe
well india congrats… they are luck y enough that Gibbs got injured…
but like they say Fortune favors the brave…

Watch out buddy AQ is already there with a smile on his face :slight_smile:

and by they way SA keeps its tridition alive of losing big matches …pata nahee SA k aath aisa keyun hay ? 92 k worldcup say jo in kee bad luck chalee hay big matches meen wo abhee tak chal rahee hay !

:rotfl: well said…
pakistan acha hai poorya overs hee nahi khailta :wink:

it was Zaheer's over that made the difference...
Hats off to Zaheer....Well played india

:hehe:

As I said earlier , Wicket was helping slow bowler and it was hard to bat on in later overs. Slow bowling,slow wicket and soft kokkabura ball did the kamaal…
They just couldnot hit. That was the same reason Indian couldnot accelerate during there slog overs.

** I went to sleep buddies after dispapointing 261 from Indians and then someone called me when Bhajju took 2 wickets . :slight_smile:
I was down but not out !!! :wink:

Thats very true the 2nd last over well bowled bye Zaheer otherwise SA could have scored in that over and I think the credit goes to Sehwag too he bowled well and took 3 wickets.

When is the second Semi-Final?

On Friday I think. Now if SL could beat Aus then the trophy will stay in the sub continent.

I doubt it, Aussi batting and bowling line up is way better than SA but you never know.

Well played India. Congratulations.

Once Gibbs departed the SA players committed suicide.

Lads we are not the only one who mess it up.

Perfect example of how to grab defeat from the jaws of victory and this is not the first time the SA have done it.

So how do they figure out 3rd place? or its just 1st and 2nd place?

There is no 2, 3 or 4 place. The winner takes all.

spot on ehsaan bhai.
WC 99 ke semifinal main bhi yehi kiya thaa SA ne..

they choke under pressure like any other team , even aussies do that..

but it hink SA should havw taken risks a bit earlier las frour overs..
I think India might be the favorites to win the tournament.
for once i will favor india coz i m fed up of reading and listening Aussies are the best ooo aussie tis aussies that.... Ok they are the best mentally prepared side but it hink media braggs about them a lot... so i would love to see them losing ... even to india!

Srilanka?? well i dont think their batting is all that well equipped...
they are for sure a one-man team :).. Murali ofcourse... THeir other bowlers are good but they only bowl well when murali does... Even if SL beats Aussies i wont mind :)

Congrats to India. they are batting really well at the moment but they still have a problem that they don't have any real quality pace bowlers. That makes Australia favourites in my book.
