*Official* India in South Africa

[Jono]

Sleep time.

Glad I stayed up to watch that ****

Work will be awful tomorrow.

Gnite peeps.

 

[kingpin]

Ya enuf for today

 

[Blaze 18]

Well, at least they haven't been bowled out. It will take a tremendous second innings performance from the Indian batsmen to save this one, not to mention good bowling and some rain

 

[G.I.Joe]

India picked a player who's only played 8 first class innings?

Are they trying to be Australia?!

He's got a baby face too. No physical intimidation or attitude. It all fits!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

 

[Turbinator]

I am actually not that upset with how things have gone today. Could have been far worse. 150-160 should be our target atm.

turbi......I just love your comments

 

[Shri]

Was tipping India to be 84 all out tbf. Not disappointed. True story. What?!? You know its true!

 

[Shri]

So, Raina is India's Doominy then?

 

[Xuhaib]

important that SA now seize the initiative, India will not collapse often.

 

[Prad100w]

Great start with ball for SA. Indians struggled with the bat although that was expected. But all is not lost yet. If they can somehow get up to around 160, it will be a good effort and then the onus would be on the bowlers on what they can do. I still have a feeling this will be a close series.

Realistically speaking - and I sincerely hope that I am wrong - this game is gone. The pitch is nowhere near as bad as the scorecard makes it out to be; I can see South Africa piling on the runs tomorrow and the day after.

Pitch isn't that bad although it has something on it for bowlers. But the conditions are. If it rains overnight and tomorrow, it will not be easy for SA to pile on the runs. But for that Indian bowlers have to match their SA'can counterparts :-)

Nah, I think is pretty terrible - India's pace attack on the other hand...

 

[Shri]

Wouldn't worry too much. Unadkat's 10 wicket haul is coming up next. Lets face it, new Indian swing bowler debuting on bowling conditions and all that jazz. He will be spoken about in 2015 like we are speaking now about RP Singh.

 

[vcs]

The funny thing is Pakistan's batsmen did pretty well against this S. African attack quite recently, even though the conditions were hugely different.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Ishant, Unadkat, Morkel, Steyn. The beanpole series.

Steyn and Morkal are actually quite built.

Good point about the conditions. I don't see the Indian bowlers matching Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel, unfortunately. I am sure that the South African batsmen will bat a lot more sensibly, too.
