*Official* India in South Africa

[vcs]

I won't mind that as long as the same catches up with Sree, Ishant and Harby and they suddenly run through RSA..

Sree is law-of-average-defyingly crap (sorry Teja). Averages 57 this year. ****ing 57!!!

 

[TT Boy]

I remember that ground, Paarl.. A very SC like wicket, isn't it?

Yeah, very subcontinent like. Interesting to see if any life can be brought into the Cape Town surface. South Africa like playing there and have beaten India on a slow, low wicket there before but not sure the hierarchy wants that this time around.

The law of averages has to catch up.

There is no such law in statistics, though.

 

[Shri]

Maybe the law is catching up, finally exposing their ****iness?

India have brought some filthy,crap,rubbish "fast" bowlers to SA over the years.
Doda "Gash" Ganesh, David "Hey Jude" Johnson and now Ishant, Sreeeeeesanth and Umadkat.
India should drop Sreeeeeesanth for Zahear.The kid Umadkat didn't bowl as bad as his figures suggest tbh imho.

You're just saying that because "Sreeeeeeeeeeesanth!" doesn't have the same ring to it as "Umadkat!".

can someone explain how did Amla go from an unattractive plodder to becoming one of the best stroke makers in the current game.I know players improve but this just feels like a completely different guy.

More to do with his place in the side..

Few years back, he was fighting for his place.
Now he is assured of a place.. Makes a huge difference to how a player approaches the game.

Which jersey do you think would look better on me?

This

... or this?

neither

Looks like Suresh Raina is going to play the second test

Raina to smash a hundy or a couple of fifties and extend his test career

 

[M0rphin3]

Yeah the aerodynamics and stuff

 

[Blaze 18]

Nah, he is going to get owned by Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.

 

[Jono]

Nah I think Raina will be dropped. Kirsten would have publicly backed Raina if they planned on keeping him.

Got to be kidding... he's got no clue as to how to play on these pitches and he is out of form as well.
Don't see the point of persisting with him when you have better options in Pujara or Vijay waiting.

Sick of the selectors picking players in test who do well in ODI.... First it was Yuvraj.. Now we have Raina... Yuvraj v2.0....

 

[0RI0N]

Zaheer in for:
a) Sreeeeesanth
or
b) The kid Umadkat
Who would you drop?
I would drop Sreeeeesanth.
The kid bowled better than Sree in the first test.
