*Official* India in South Africa

[Rant0r]

India looking dangerous. I have no idea how much more will be played today, but I'd think we should be trying to get two more wickets before SA reach 100. These conditions are really in India's favour, atm. If Steyn, Morkel and Tsotsobe were bowling, I could see them having us five or six down by this point. The ball is seaming all over the place.

Settle down, there's been 21 overs... *shakes head*

 

[Teja.]

In the first nine overs, We really should have gotten more than one wicket. Zaheer was getting awesome movement, should've pitched it up more.

 

[Xuhaib]

been a poor bowling effort barring Ishant till now these are the best bowling condition in this series till date.

 

[Cevno]

The first day at centurion was worse ,with pace and bounce as well more than here.

The first day at Durban wasn't much better either.

 

[Cevno]

The spells from Sree and Zaheer after the break were dissapointing. But other than that India have bowled pretty well here.

Ishant hasn't been great either, really. Little too short, little too wide, the odd complete pie and down on pace. Although it was a perfect delivery to get Alviro.

nah this is tougher there is lot of seam movement today with decent swing Durban remained the same through the game possibly even getting quicker as the game went along, Centurian first day would not have suited Indian style of fast bowling as much as it is doing today.

Not sure the head of a horse in his bed will do it for Kirsten.

I don't particularly like Ishant much myself, but decapitation sounds a bit harsh.

he's getting decent nip ofcourse consistency is not his forte.

 

[Jono]

Back on

 

[Jono]

Trying to slow down to get swing and good lines, but the line has been far worse compared to the awesome consistency in Durban.

Odd

 

[Jono]

Not Sachin's greatest effort there

 

[Jono]

Yeah keep bowling on Amla's pads Zaheer. That's smart bowling

 

[Cevno]

Poor start by Zaheer.

 

[MW1304]

I'm sorry but Zaheer was over the mark with that.

Haha joke fielding. Greatest ever cricketer my arse.

Three 4s!

 

[Cevno]

He doesn't do that often.

 

[Jono]

Greatest ever cricketer my arse.

Aren't you witty.

Odd

It's not really odd - accuracy is as much about rhythm as pace is, so if you mess with it and try to bowl slower than your normal action, you'll just bowl slow, inaccurate pies.

The only odd thing about it is that bowlers actually think it'll work mid-spell.

 

[MW1304]

I was attempting to be blunt rather than witty tbf.

 

[Cevno]

The pitch is slower ,tbh.

The other two had far great carry and bounce than this.
