India lose the toss, and therefore the match.

[TT Boy]

Maybe South Africa are planning to use him as a surprise weapon in the World Cup ? It seems to be the only plausible explanation.

No. They can't figure out how to get him into the side without upsetting the apple cart. Complete and utter bollocks.

Tahir as No.9 and bowler could have been a better choice than Robbie P as No.9 and a bowler

Haha, people said the same thing last time as well.

 

[kingkallis]

I am sure Parthiv will do a much better job than Vijay

Losing the toss at PE isn't such a bad thing. Teams do win under lights here.

Couldn't they have played him in Robin Peterson's place ?

P is a better batsman than Botha in limited overs cricket and I could see P out-bowling Botha. Think he would be a better option on the subcontinent as well.

Apple cart.

One-off ; fluke ; got lucky

 

[morgieb]

Apple cart.

What do you mean? Quotas coming into play?

 

[Blaze 18]

I expect South Africa to rack up a score in excess of three hundred today.

 

[Blaze 18]

One-off ; fluke ; got lucky

Another fluke today will do nicely

 

[morgieb]

I expect South Africa to rack up a score in excess of three hundred today.

And still lose.

 

[Blaze 18]

Beautiful! First boundary of the match.

 

[Blaze 18]

And still lose.

Nah, I have a feeling they will win today.

 

[Blaze 18]

Maiden over from Munaf Patel.

 

[Blaze 18]

Zaheer Khan follows it up with another maiden. Good work from the Indian bowlers so far. The pitch seems to be very much on the slower side.

 

[TT Boy]

Wicket is very slow. Gonna to be even more difficult to get the spinners of the square.

 

[TT Boy]

What do you mean? Quotas coming into play?

That and team balance.
