*Official* India in South Africa

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Well poor by his standards.
I think he struggles to bowl accurate yorkers, so it really costs him.

Poor by general standards. Going at well over 5 and taking wickets at 30 is what you'd expect your 5th seamer to do, not your spearhead.

 

[Jono]

Can imagine both those fellas hitting the town hard!

 

[Cevno]

Yes we do. Tendulkar rarely plays ODI's. At least one of Sehwag or Gambhir are injured each series (when was the last time they opened again?). There has to be some specialist who's pushing for selection surely? Much rather have a domestic player than Vijay or makeshift guys like Denish Karthik.

I meant so close to the world cup,now.

Gambhir,Sehwag and Sachin would obviously make the squad.

 

[Cevno]

Sachin is struggling to find the gaps.

well yeah if you have your first choice guys fit then obviously you pick em. But in 2010 there were a lot of opportunities for a specialist opener to come in and play

Anyway is this pitch really a 280-290 pitch? Because the carry seems good and you can't really just pick a ball of a length and smash it.

Collector's item.

 

[Cevno]

I am not sure this line will work for Tsotsobe in the World Cup.

 

[Prince EWS]

Why can't the commentators see that Lopsy's head falls away and that his arm ends up too low? Fairly obvious that's why he's not swinging it IMO.

 

[M0rphin3]

Parnel in powerplays?

 

[Prince EWS]

Stop playing Vijay in ODIs.

Please.

AWTA. Have been saying it since he was picked in the first place.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I am not sure this line will work for Tsotsobe in the World Cup.

But it's working for him in this match. If he's going to cut it at international level he has to know how to adjust to different conditions anyway.

Parnel in powerplays?

Tsotsobe with the new ball?

 

[TT Boy]

But it's working for him in this match. If he's going to cut it at international level he has to know how to adjust to different conditions anyway.

And he has. Just bowled cutters in the Middle East.

 

[Cevno]

Tendulkar surviving two missed direct hits now.

 

[centurymaker]

Tsotsobe with the new ball?

6 overs for just 11 runs and a wicket too.

 

[Prince EWS]

And he has. Just bowled cutters in the Middle East.

And in the first Test here.

 

[Prince EWS]

6 overs for just 11 runs and a wicket too.

Yeah that was his point.

 

[Uppercut]

It's surprising how much better Morne's ODI record is than Steyn's, considering how erratic he used to be.

 

[popepouri]

Can we say Morne's sorted out his erratic bowling? He's been putting it on a dime for the last year.

 

[Prince EWS]

It's surprising how much better Morne's ODI record is than Steyn's, considering how erratic he used to be.

He naturally bowls a much better length for one day cricket though. If you're bowling full and you don't get it quite right or even if you just come up against someone seeing it like a football you'll generally go for a lot more than someone bowling just short of a length with the same problems.
