*Official* India in South Africa

[Teja.]

I find it so much more frustrating than it is entertaining. I try to avoid looking at the figures and who got no bids etc because it fills me with rage, and just look at the squads at the end, haha.

FTR, I mourned for a day when Ishant got paid the highest amount, more than McG, in the first IPL IIRC, for taking 6 wickets @ 60 in Australia with some 3-4 balls seaming a little.

Is this Van Wyk dude in the ODI squad ?

Is this Van Wyk dude in the ODI squad ?

Nah, he wasn't even in the T20 squad until someone pulled out.

 

[Teja.]

Nothing to hate about RP Singh, Mithun, Unadkat etc etc. They haven't shown to have poor attitudes.

Munaf does.

Being **** doesn't mean hate IMO.

Sree's a dick but his attitude towards representing India and busting his gut to play for his country is good. Munaf's isn't. Wastes his talent.

Yeah, nothing to hate about them. It's irrational hatred.

Meh, first auction was all about marketing.

This one has been much more thought out. The value of a gun local player has been realised.

The auction has been pretty good barring a few errors.

Van Wyk looks super for T20s. Holds the bat baseball style. 5 overs 42 for 2. Seems even stevens at the moment. The delivery that got Amla was gun

 

[Prince EWS]

Ashwin to bowl well but get hit for lots of runs anyway and India to still win. My head to explode trying to figure out if that means Jono was right or not.

I've never forgiven that **** Shah Rukh Khan for giving Sharma a lucrative IPL contract and setting him off on the long path to ruin. WAC.

Yeah Ojha's the best T20 bowler in India, but doesn't make the team?

Ah well I like Ashwin so I don't mind. But weird.

The thing with Ojha is that he has absolutely no variation at all. You know exactly what he's going to bowl. He's done an OK job since his role is to tie up an end but not a long term prospect at all. I would have preferred Amit Mishra but that dude bowls way to many no-balls which is ****ing stupid <_<

Pyush Chawla for tests? I dunno.. can't believe we don't have a decent spinner to support Bhajji for test matches.

 

[Jono]

That was a good shot, but the first boundary before that was odd hey. Chipped it over the bowler for 4. Was interesting.

Anyway not the start Ashwin wanted.

 

[Jono]

**** I HATE YOU MUNAF PATEL!

**** off.

That **** isn't acceptable. I don't want him in Indian colours at all.

 

[Prince EWS]

Time for some pies.

"Left arm filth" - KP

 

[smash84]

Van Wyk looking dangerous

 

[Blaze 18]

Patel is a terrible, terrible fielder.

 

[Contra]

Oh god lol..

 

[Jono]

Good batting from SA here.

Haha yeah, he then went on to call him a pie chucker. Really rates him.

 

[Blaze 18]

Nah, he wasn't even in the T20 squad until someone pulled out.

Thank goodness! It is amazing how we routinely make rookies look like seasoned veterans. I know it is only T20 but still....

Was great to see Pietersen repeatedly owned by the pie-chucker though. For some reason, Waterboy loves performing against England in all formats.
