Thrashing.

Losing this one isn't a choke. Saffas are basically guaranteed a quarter final berth given other results.

With this performance they may slip under the radar a bit.

Thank you India. Topped up the sportsbet account.

Pretty good by Dhawan. Always liked him since the day he took the piss out of watto

Really good from India, they're a real threat if they keep up that bowling and fielding.
We always knew they could bat.

South Africa had little answers other than Steyn and Tahir.
Bowlers were off and Parnell was rubbish, batted without much intent and a couple of stupid run-outs and it was game over pretty quickly.

Opens up the World Cup very nicely.

Not sure it means much to SA to be honest , might dent their confidence a bit, and has shown Parnell isn't the right option - three games matter, the knock out ones...

For India though it's confirmed the defending champs are in it - batting was never in doubt, but their bowling has stepped up hugely compared to where it was at v Aust

... and fielding. I never imagined India could find another gear on the field.
Whatever Dhoni is doing, he's doing something right suddenly

 

[Twizzle]

Pretty sure we know where both are at, don't we?

India are mediocre, although dangerous given their bats, and favourites or second behind Aust

SA will be disappointed with their opening match, I expect them to dominate India

obviously not
