England has managed 311/8. Since England has scored between 300 and 350, the game will be evenly placed and both the teams will be having equal chances. A lot will depend on Archer (who seems to be in top form). For South Africa, the performances from de Kock and du Plessis may hold the key to winning this match. But they need to make sure that Amla doesn't waste too many balls in the beginning.

An exciting match is going on between SA and England. Imran Tahir picked up the first wicket of Bairstow in first over.England looking to manage runs in the board.Root is playing well till now.After 8 overs England is on 49.I believe 350 runs is a decent score to defend against SA because SA have a long lists of Batsman.

Edit: England made a solid starts in World Cup as they beat SA by 104 runs.This match will give more confidence to them and I hope the world journey will be a memorable for English lions.

Yes, you are compared to England, New Zealand and Australia has performed very in England soil, so there is a chance for Australia and New Zeland, so we have to wait and see how far the team will play pivotal rules in the coming world cup. So instead of predicting giving chance to England, we have to choose other teams and give preference to those teams.

Neither of then have. So I think New Zealand could grab their first ever world cup if they played well. England too is a good team and would have home advantage. And India is ever strong.

Australia didn't perform well? They had played a huge series against India recently and Pakistan as well. Their batsman and bowlers were successful. As usual they had good performance in warm up match as well.

I consider New Zealand as a good team but do they have the team to win the world cup, highly unlikely considering their history, England and Australia have the chance to win the world cup and Australia always are a competitive team in the history of world cup, they were not performing well on the built up of the tournament but i think they will perform well in the tournament and can lift the world cup once again.
Any tipsters here for cricket.

^^^^ Very surprising that you have England on the top. IMO, I would rank Australia as #1, followed by India. England may look strong on paper, but I don't think that they have a very balanced team. The home advantage is there, but then teams such as Australia and New Zealand have also performed very well in the English soil.

OK... I would agree with you when you say that these two players can't be compared. They played during different era, and they faced different set of bowlers. Even the conditions were different. Two decades back, the game of cricket was not this much biased towards the batsmen. The bowlers at least had a fighting chance... 

One hundred percent i agree with everyone who is with Sachin, he was not just a player he embodied the emotion of every Indian while playing, i am not too sure what the new kids think about Sachin but there was a generation who loved Gavaskar and then when Sachin came to the scene he was everything for the poor and the rich and he was a symbol of hope, if you watch movies there is a movie every cricket lover should watch 1983 there is English subtitles so you will understand it  .

Are you talking about Don Bradman and Viv Richards, i don't know whether you used to watch cricket for a long time or a recent viewer, IPL is not cricket and you really do not need stamina and patience, just brute force is needed to clear the boundary and everyone with good hand power can do in any pitches around the world now, i guess according to you Gayle and Andre Russel are better than Sachin as they can clear the rope easily  . As said by many above, you cannot compare cricket players of different generation.
Don Bradman was playing without any protection while the bowlers were aiming for their heads and so does Viv Richards, look at their average, no one could compare them with the players we have now.

Other Posters already posted stats and arguments but Vishnu bhai let me know if you want more stats in details. Digging more information takes time but will bring it out for you having said that I am not surprised that you are criticizing Sachin. it happens all the time and nothing wrong with it, you are entitled to your viewpoint and Sachin's critics use similar arguments all the time that "he plays for records or he's not match winner" etc

In Indian Cricket Sachin is Feeling, I am sure that Virat Kohli can break all records of Sachin but he can't replace the feeling and TBH we should never compare 2 players from a different era. game has changed so much, you and me both know that.

Agree, at early age, in our era, we used to think him as idol. That's how India got thousands of batsman. In our country, teenagers are highly motivated by Shakib Al Hasan. We can expect a bunches of All rounder in the upcoming days. That's how it works.

Dhoni as a Indian Captain? hmmm not possible, not even in a wildest dream. he already gave his captaincy for good. so everyone should make it peace with it. That's what cricket does, some players performs in the match ,some don't and don't forget Indian spinners and Bumrah's contribution.

I don't think IPL is a good place to look for ODI players. Though it has certainly made a good platform for a large number of players to showcase their talents and earn, ODI and worldcup are still a different genre. Records are made to be broken but I don't think some of the older records made by legends are going to be broken so soon.

All I need to say here is India needs Dhoni as a captain if they dream of getting anything near to the finals. This game proves nothing, just two Indian players had their day while Bangladesh struggled to chase a large target. Bangladesh too played very well. But I feel both of these teams are lacking the vibe for this worldcup.

However there are players far better than Sachin, and now through IPL some has got identified. During the early days the competence isn't that high which gave him the opportunity to play for a long even if he hasn't performed good at times. Now the scenario is different, if one hasn't performed good in few matches he'll be in the fifteen members but won't get into the playing eleven. Moreover over the years kohli will smash all the records that have been made by Sachin who is prasied as the God of cricket, and in my personal opinion he played for his records than playing for the country.

No one in world cricket was under pressure like Sachin Tendulkar as we all know the immense hope we had in him to score runs every time he goes out to bat, i grew up seeing Sachin play right from his debut and the people of my age will understand his influence in the game and why India love cricket more than any other sport, remember hockey is our national game, if not for Sachin we will not see these big endorsement we have now.
The bowlers he faced and i can quote many legendary bowlers praising Sachin and his skills, a gentlemen inside and outside of cricket and he is the true role model for kids.
Right now the average of many players in ODI is close to 50. I wonder how they will play if they face bowlers like Mitchell Johnson, Jason Gillespie, Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee, Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Malcolm Marshall, Imran Khan, Glenn McGrath, Shaun Pollock, Allan Donald, Ian Botham, Makhaya Ntini, Craig McDermott, Damien Fleming, Shane Bond, Muttiah Muralitharan, shane Warne, Abdul Qadir, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed, Daniel Vettori, Chaminda Vaas and the list goes on.

I am not including Dale Steyn and Jimmy Anderson as they are still playing and Sachin smashed them and remember the first double century in ODI against Steyn and company.

In test, out of his 51 century, he had 3 century against Zimbabwe, no century against Kenya or lower team you mentioned. (Not sure if Kenya played test)
In ODI, out of 49, he had 10 century against Zimbabwe, Kenya and 1 against Namibia.

I was way to sleep but noticed your post, to be honest, you have no idea about whom you are talking. You know he is GOD of cricket. He has introduced the century of century, double century in ODI, and the thousand club(for most club).

This..
I respect Kohli, he is one of my favorite player.
But there's no bowler like Shane Warne not Muttiah these days.
Saaed Ajmol or Rashid Khan is far away from that class.

However, if Virat would face world class bowler, I would still says there's no way of comparing Sachin with anyone.

I read this quote too, can't remember when but this shows that how dangerous Sachin was for the top class bowlers. I remember Sachin giving nightmare to Shoaib Akhtar, Glenn McGrath, Wasim Akram, Sane Warne

This something I found: https://www.quora.com/Is-Virat-Kohli-facing-relatively-easy-bowling-attack-compared-to-what-Sachin-Tendulkar-faced-in-his-era

I think this speaks better.

The bowlers Sachin faced:


The bowlers Kohli is facing/faced:


No disrespect for anyone but find me a Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warn, Shoaib Akhtar, Glenn McGrath, Wasim Akram or even Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock. Forget about the Pitch and boundary.
