*Official* India in South Africa

[centurymaker]

Didn't catch the replay.

Did it hit in line?

only just, about 40% of teh ball was in line IMO.

 

[Jono]

Who cares what it looked like live? The first one clearly hit him outside the line. The 2nd one was going down leg. Both great decisions.

No the first one hit in line. They just showed hawkeye and it hit him in line.

It did not. It was outside the line. Barely, yes, but still outside.

 

[Jono]

Really? Okay then.

 

[MW1304]

No ignore him it hit him in line.

 

[Jono]

It is ridiculous Indian channels play ads before we have seen how many runs Sachin got off that shot. Absolutely disgraceful.

Ten Sports is a joke.

Tendulkar over the latter half of his career has had an annoying habit of making ordinary spinners look good against him. I can't believe how much trouble Harris is giving him.

 

[TumTum]

Looks like Tendulkar will get to another century, but will Dhobi get there first? Still a long way to go for India, without weather interruptions you would still think SA will win it.

 

[Jono]

Haha thanks for the jinx Tum Tum

He's had trouble against Harris in South Africa before. Just a bit of a bogey bowler for him I think.

I can think of an even better batsman who has let an even worse spinner dictate to him even more.

SA really has trouble bowling out teams in the second innings. Their batting seems to be really strong but you'd think to get to #1 again they'd have to strengthen their bowling.

 

[chicane]

Damn! That looked out to me.

Yeah they have 2 superb opening bowlers but their change bowler and spinner are really weighing them down.

I'm going to break something when Harris gets Sachin. And he will.

Welcome to my posts a week ago.

Gets him a medal after he scores his 50th ton more like.

Nah no spinner has had much success against Hughes.

 

[Briony]

You'd think in all their domestic cricket they'd have someone better than Tsotsobe though.

Hard for a spinner to get a chance when he's out in the third over.

He dominates domestic cricket though. It's so puzzling. I don't think he visibly looks more threatening than Philander or McLaren though and he certain doesn't have a better record than them - nor would he offer as much even if they all 'came off" so to speak. If you're going to back your First Class system and pick someone who maybe doesn't look much but has performed to a high standard (something I'm a pretty big advocate of generally), you might as well pick the one with the biggest potential upside.

He's reminded me so much of Nathan Bracken's one day bowling in this game. And even Bracken himself bowled a lot differently in First Class cricket.
