*Official* India in South Africa

[Jono]

Cos you said the team was 'gun', when it's only gun on paper.

 

[Jono]

Speaking of gun, how awesome is this field to Harbhajan's bowling. So good for a ODI in SA conditions

Well, I was only comparing it to every other possible combination they could come up with. I don't expect them to win the WC.

Massive breakthrough for India. Time to choke the flow of runs now.

 

[Jono]

Duminy run out?

 

[Blaze 18]

I fail to see how bringing in a man whose last international innings was 67 (39) and Albie Morkel for Ingram and a bowler is going to make that problem worse.

Is there a chance that Albie Morkel will play ?

 

[M0rphin3]

Can they cross 150?

 

[Bun]

Not out.

 

[Manee]

India are so the perfect example in ODI cricket of the sum being so much better than the average parts, especially the bowling line up.

Not a great shot, but Ingram and Miller's performances in this series will have increased his chances.

 

[Jono]

Haha Cricbuzz had it as out when they saw the replay, even before a signal.

Duminy run out?

Most ******** method of breaking the stumps I think I've seen.

Where are all the guys who were going Ashwin > Bhajji in ODI's? lol..

 

[Jono]

Ashwin hasn't had a chance to bowl to these bunnies in an ODI though tbf. Only on a postage stamp ground.

 

[Howe_zat]

How is Albie a gun? Bowling is innocous at best and isn't suited to conditions - Kallis would have more to offer with the ball, as would Faf.

Meanwhile, he hasn't had a decent innings with the bat for some time and as an all-round cricketer just isn't up to the standard of the rest of the team.

Agreed on MVW ahead of Ingram though.

Not really considering he had all of less than a second to collect it over his head and break the stumps. And further it was just a frame either way.

He's bowled to nothing but bunnies tbh (that 1 off ODI against Aus aside). NZ / SL (second string) / Zim.. not the greatest set of teams against spinners (SL is good but that was mostly a second string side).

Monumental flight from Yuvraj there.

... and he's done well.

It would be stupid to drop him, really. He must be quite familiar with the Indian conditions by now, and he is close to the perfect number seven in a place like India; a rich man's Yousuf Pathan if you want. It wasn't that long ago that he was being touted as the next Lance Klusener.
