I was listening amazed on the car radio most of the match, the moment we got home Sachin got out and then we got to see Jadeja's nonsense.

One of if not the best innings in a losing causeYa remember him going to his dad's funeral and coming back to score a century against Kenya..
Wasn't 2007 the dreadful world cup with Greg Chappell.. I didn't understand why Sachin was demoted to number 4 during his reign.. Sachin was always at his best opening the batting..
Does anyone remember the 1996 World Cup.. He was amazing.. We were the definition of an one man team back then..
Think it was Sehwag who said that during our match against pak in the 2003 world cup,Sachin told him he would be taking strike as it was going to Wasim Akram steaming in and he wanted to take the pressure on himself so that Sehwag could play his natural game..
And on of his losses includes the 175 he made against Australia here in hyd.. I was there in that match and it was down right criminal what Jadeja did and the way we lost that match.. It would have been one his most iconic chases for India..
We are truly blessed to have a player like Kohli immediately after Sachin retired,but that shouldn't mean we underestimate how long he carried us through the 90's..
Sharma out to Rabada again. Been his bitch the entire tour
Nohit is back.
Gavaskar has been sniffing gum again.
Kohli out without scoring a century 
Was looking good for getting it tooKohli out without scoring a century
Has he said the AB CDE crap?
Yes and he took it to AB CDE FGHI etc.
Yh took it further than that.
Ffs old man needs to retire
Rahane, the feck is that?
India screwing this up. Sort of.
Also, Dhoni has become a very one dimensional player. Completely lost the ability to be aggressive.

The innings has fizzled out completely
India's lower middle order is awful at ODI cricket. Feels like years since we had guys who could actually hit the ball out of the park.
What happened to Raina?
He's in the squad for the T20s. The guys only 31 as well. Shame he turned to shit so quick.
2 edges flown through the empty 2nd slip region.
Think SA will find this to be a fairly comfortable chase? We should have bowled first.
All down to the spinners.
De Villiers is back. It can go massively tits up for them too.
Are the commentators not in the stadium? Sanju Manju said Markram is walking off when the camera was on him. The umpire had already signalled for the players to go off and when the camera panned out, the players were almost off with the covers already on the ground.
Cant miss that if he is in the stadium.

Unforgivable even if they're doing commentary remotely. It was blindly obvious that the umpires signaled for play to be stopped
It's a mix. Anyone who appears in the studio with Harsha is in Mumbai.
Back in 2 mins. 202 needed from 28 overs. 159 left off 124.
This is way too easy.
Pandya is useless at the moment.
Did his 5 overs @ 7.4 and got AB. If this is the weak link, we should be fine.
SA should win this comfortably from here
Yup, this should be a stroll now.
Miller getting out on that terrible Chahal no ball completely swung the game.
And he's overstepped again! Feck is a spinner overstepping for?!
Hope this doesn't destroy the spinners' confidence for the next game.

Predicted Shreyas Iyer to drop a catch and spinners to struggle with wet ball. Easy win for SA
Yup time to turn this off and go to bed
This is how you gift a match. Pathetic last 1 hour of performance by our bowlers and fielders. Kohli also looked very uninspiring.
Just as I say that Chahal picks one.

Chahal has been terrible with the ball. To top it off, he got Miller earlier - only for it to be a no ball. Then he got pounded. Now he finally got Miller.
Think the rain ruined it for the spinners. It was only the way SA could overcome that particular issue.
Well that ended quickly.
Those spinners got smacked the feck out of, fecking hell
Ball getting wet didn't help. Looked quite easy.
Yeah it had a big impact on the outcome for sure. Kuldeep still managed to bowl decently enough though. Chahal was just shit, in all honesty.
