2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 37 India v South Africa 5/11 1900hrs @ Eden Gardens

You’re slagging off a professional sportsman who’s biggest crime is being selfish enough to hit the equal highest amount of hundreds in history, in 178 innings less than the previous record holder.

Yeah.

I’m slagging off his selfishness tonight based on his performance regardless of his rep or past… and pleaseeee! Like forums don’t or shouldn’t question “professional” athletes who are paid a truckload to perform and be scrutinised…

 

[HK_Hawk]

Sounds like he’s already spoiled yours.

How dare someone get praise for scoring a century.

It’s very strange isn’t it.

Can you bury your nothing nose any deeper up his a$$? Just move to India and you can cheer his every single along with the masses.

 

[Xtreme]

Great to see the GOAT score another ODI century. Further cementing his legacy!!

 

[Daniel B]

101 off 121. Just as well his name isn't Marnus.

 

[010203]

After scoring 91 in the first ten overs, India scored 235 in the last 40 overs. Normally you'd expect that to be the other way around.

Mate you’re giving it to people for praising an innings that was well paced, well constructed, and rather than ‘questioning the narrative’ that you’re so worried about people painting, you’re creating your own.

The guy has a job. He is surrounded by shotmakers; there’s 3 players in that top 6 with strike rates over 99. He is not one of them. He had also batted for 3 hours on a hot day with humidity approaching 80 per cent. So, shock horror, after 270 matches he summed up the situation and his team managed 330 with him holding the innings together, with the two players alongside him who were getting the strike when he hit a single, making 51 off 29.

Yeah it’s just bizarre that he’s getting praise.

Oooh yes another fabulously mature assessment.
Person praises great player so must have his proboscis up said player’s rectum and should emigrate and uproot his entire life to another continent

Fantastic conclusion

 

[Daniel B]

If anyone was selfish, it was Jadeja for not at least trying to come back for the second on that last ball. I mean, what does he have to lose exactly?

 

[Nuggetz]

Nope, he is the king for the minnows whom need to escape the reality of their dross life. Plenty of those around the world

That's exactly describe you. You are a minnow to him. He is your king. Bow down to him.

Take the loss like the english cricket team and move on...

Slight chance of rain around, maybe a d/l thing?

Why the farrkkk would I bow down to any sportsperson? Get some perspective. If that’s your thing, fine

I do love how you bring the poms into it. I love it, enjoyable as it is to see their self-righteous attitude implode on them

Perspective.

You do seem to be letting him…. What is the word internet types like to use….. ‘headf**k’ you despite just being a guy with a stick in his hand so there’s that,

 

[Daniel B]

Does DLS take completed first innings wickets into account? I'd never heard that.

 

[010203]

QDK gone, and that's a huge blow for South Africa.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Lol predictable South Africa chasing effort

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bumrah is amazing to watch

 

[HK_Hawk]

Perspective.

My head is far from “headf**ked” as you suggest. Yes, exactly. He is a guy with a stick in his hand that has been enabled to dictate far too much beyond what he should

 

[The Falcon Strike]

If india win the toss and bat first come the final - just had them the cup

Absolutely elite quicks

 

[010203]

South Africa need some cheap boundaries.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

It does not

 

[Blue Arrow]

I can't wait for the sunrise tomorrow, according to the brown nose commentators it will happen when the Indian bowlers drop their pants.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

South Africa need some cheap boundaries.

Bumrah don't give no cheap boundaries

So why does it upset you so much that people praise a man in cricketing terms, for putting in an excellent cricketing performance that more than likely will ensure his team stays undefeated and on track to become world champions
