*Official* India in South Africa

Botha contributes with the bat and now ball. Imran Tahir will not play in the WC.

That was terrible from Yuvraj... good catch though.
Still hasn't learned how to play spin.

 

[Prince EWS]

Good luck trying to move Yuvraj from his position for a rook....

Yuvraj has never been a #4 batsman IMO.

 

[pup11]

Also I was just wondering since Rohit Sharma is not in the worldcup squad, and neither does he look good enough to be a replacement player in case of an injury, so why exactly is he playing game after game...!?
EDIT: What sort of a move is this to send in a left-hander with an offie bowling!!

 

[TT Boy]

That was some anticipation from Smith. Awesome. P into the attack.

 

[TT Boy]

P needs to unleash his doosra.

He is pretty much a #4 these days, and a walking ego like him would erupt if he's told to slide down the order.

Given Peterson's into the attack too, the only option, according to this logic, was sending in a bloke who bats with his dick.

MSD likes to have a left/right combo going..

As for Rohit well dunno. He should be done with post WC. Will be pissed if he forces his way back via IPL performences <_<

Most of his best knocks have come from 5/6 in ODIs tbh. Might even feel good about it himself.

Albert Pujols..??

Yuvraj 'reportedly' wanted to bat at #3 but the management didn't allow it, so he finally settled for #4.

Shouldn't see anymore pace until Pathan comes out. Good chance for Faf to get through 5 overs.

Yeah Imran Tahir remains a mystery. I wonder if it makes sense to take him to India when he hasn't played a single ODI despite having the chance FFS?????

If they are trying to play him as a surprise weapon I won't be surprised if he ends up sticking out from their ass

 

[Teja.]

Tempted to switch on TV tstl.

Exams ftl.

Where exactly do you think is Kohli gonna bat during the worldcup once Sehwag, SRT and Gambhir comeback...?

He'll either bat four, or not play at all, I'd say.

Don't think he will play,tbh.

Can't see either of Gambhir,Yuvraj or Sehwag being dropped for him.

And it is no use playing him in the lower order ahead of Pathan.

 

[Cevno]

If they leave Pathan out they'll bat Kohli at 4, Yuvraj at 5, and Raina/Dhoni at 6/7 depending on the situation. Which is exactly what I'd do. I think they'll play Pathan though.

Would rather bat Dhoni at 4 and Yuvraj and Raina at 5/6 and Pathan at 7.

Batting Kohli at 4 will extend the top order too much.

We need alongwith Sehwag another person in the top 4 who is able to hit out from the get go.

So it would be a straight choice between Kohli and Gambhir for me. And would pick Gambhir because he is just more likely to play that important innings in a tough situation.

 

[Cevno]

Kohli brings up his 50 and more now.
