THE SINGH ROARS – India wins

March 24, 2011 09:50:23 AM PST

Thank you Yuvraj SINGH for the unbeaten 57 and taking down Haddin and Clarke, you have taken India two step closer to THE CUP – 2011 Cricket World Cup.

Yuvraj gets fourth Man of the Match - "I don't know about hitting any purple patch, but the pressure today, playing Australia, it was something else. I have gone through a tough year, but coming into the World Cup, getting that 50 against England, it was good. 260 was a good score, Ponting batted outstandingly but we chased well."

Dhoni - "70-odd runs needed with the last batting pair, it basically meant if we played 50 overs with Yuvraj and Raina, we would make it. There was pressure, and it was about handling it. I'd have been satisfied keeping them to 250, we had our best fielding unit today. I think we saved around 15 runs that we hence did not need to chase. India v Pakistan semi-finals - it doesn't get better. The pressure will be big, but in reality it makes no difference to us."

WAR at Mohali - Afridi vs. Dhoni!

South Africa at the Top with a convincing win

March 15, 2011 08:47:42 AM PST

JP Duminy is the Man of the Match - "The key was to try and stay as calm as possible. I've done it a fair number of times now, and I've grown into this role nicely, and I hope it continues. I was trying to hit the ball out of the ground at the end, you never know when a few runs might make all the difference in the game."

William Porterfield - "We started off pretty well, got wickets up front and pegged them back. We were happy enough at half time chasing 270 but just lost wickets. We've been pretty good with our ground fielding throughout the tournament but we missed a couple of catches."

South Africa wins by 131 runs. Ireland fought hard and that is what matters.

Umar Gul gets Man of the Match for his 3 wickets against Zimbabwe

March 14, 2011 10:14:08 AM PST

Not a dominating performance from Pakistan. Hafeez made 49 from 65 with 6 fours. Asad Shafiq made unbeaten 78 from 97 with 7 fours.

Umar Gul - "I'm back in my form and rhythm. I tried to bowl wicket to wicket, I looked at the pitch before the match, I was happy to bowl first. We are looking forward to the game against Australia, we have done our homework, we will do our best."

Elton Chigumbura - " Again we lost too many wickets first up, from there it was tough to come back into the game, and the rain also made it hard for us to get some momentum. After this, we are going to go home and work on batting, especially in the first 10 overs. I thought Ervine played pretty well, I'm happy with the bowling also, the spinners with old ball bowled good lines."

Shahid Afridi - "I think the way we started, the way Gul and Razzaq they started very well, and then the spinners. I think the way Hafeez played, good to see him back, and Shafiq played an amazing knock, I tried to finish the game early but I'm sure I will perform with the bat as well."

Pakistan into the knockout stage, Easy!

Ricky Ponting - "A bit of rust on the team, even with the batting. Full credit to Kenya, they fought really well. We tried a few different things today, bowling Smith in the Powerplay ... but hopefully we've shaken off the rust ahead

of the Canada game ... great to have Hussey back. We'll have a rest day tomorrow, we've done plenty of training ..."

Collins Obuya - "I'm very proud, I've been working hard on my batting, on my bowling as well, hopefully I'll become a batting allrounder."

Well Done Obuya!

TM Dilshan - "This is my career's best match. Very good wicket to bat, ball came on well. The hat-trick unfortunately went away, but before that, Mahela took a brilliant catch, so the second wicket really went to him. I think everyone's performing very well, so we are in a good position."

KC Sangakkara - "This is where I am from, and it is a magnificent ground. We adjusted our line-up for the dew, but things were ok today. The opening stand just took it away. Dilshan has that magic touch with bat, ball and on the field. Murali is a champion, and that's why he is rated the best in the world. When the tough times come, he stands up."

E Chigumbura - "We have to beat Kenya and do well against Pakistan. Disappointed with the show today. Good atmosphere in this stadium."
