India doesn't need four bowlers. I think we should play with 10 players just to show how awesome we are.If only the fourth bowler had decided to show up

We need to scour the country for a con man with a coin trick and play him in the XI just so we win the tosses for a changeIndia doesn't need four bowlers. I think we should play with 10 players just to show how awesome we are.

Or better still, the BCCI should use its clout and replace the toss with Gilli Danda...We need to scour the country for a con man with a coin trick and play him in the XI just so we win the tosses for a change

So second new year with India as the #1 team...awesome. So much more than I ever hoped during the 90s.

SA named their ODI squad.
Imran Tahir and Faf du Plessis are included in their 14-man squad. Kallis is not considered due to the injury.

India and SA evenly matched given that SA has drawn twice recently in India and the latter has drawn here with SA. The main difference is that India has the capacity to win at home, SA doesn't.

Disappointed by the way we played yesterday but I'd still take a 1-1
Really gotta give credit to Gambhir. This guy knows how to guts its out. I don't care how unconvincing he looks on pitches like these as long as he performs he's a good player in my book. Hope he has a good tour of England.

Actually yes that is true. As good as Dale Steyn is in test matches (and he's damn good) his ODI bowling is actually pretty meh. Not necessarily because he doesn't bowl enough yorkers but just generally he hasn't managed to succeed in that format. He gives the ball a chance to swing and probably gets hit a lot more in ODI's because of it. Even in test matches there have been times when he's gone for a fair few runs which you wouldn't expect. Pretty similar to Waqar.Sehwag out already because of his shoulder, Zaheer is a zombie, and now Gambhir is hit on his hand. Looking forward to the ODI series.
Steyn Vs Sachin will be a no contest with the white ball. Steyn is a poor OD bowler. Doesn't bowl enough yorkers.
Steyn will end up like Sehwag when it comes to ODI's imo. Underachieving despite having the talent to succeed.
