INDIA DESERVED WINNERS

India have totally outplayed South Africa today. They dominated in all three departments. South Africa off their game, very worryingly so, dropped catches, some loose bowling and some terrible shot selection all contributing to their downfall.

22 Feb 2015

MAN OF THE MATCH

Shikhar Dhawan is the man of the match for his brilliant 137.

22 Feb 2015

That's a hiding. Long, long way to go before games hit the 'must win' bracket, but geez, that is a hiding.

FOUR! Miller is in fine form. He sweeps Ashwin very fine down to fine-leg for a boundary.

22 Feb 2015

Two poor decisions rob the Proteas of two key batters. Unacceptable for players of Faf and ABs calibre. Still think Proteas have a chance

22 Feb 2015
