*Official* India in South Africa

[Manee]

Yusuf Pathan is must-have for the World Cup after today's innings. He is too valuable, compared to someone like Suresh Raina.

If India missed Sehwag, Sachin and Gambhir, South Africa missed Kallis, Albie and Boucher. As for the bowling, Nehra's been worse than an off-form Ishant, and Munaf, even at best, has been left way behind by Morne Morkel, but the part-timers are so dire, Praveen could have made a difference, surely, in place of them.

Ashwin-Praveen-Harbhajan-Zaheer-Nehra/Munaf isn't a bad combination at all. Yusuf's strikes, however, make this combination improbable.

Mark Boucher and Albie Morkel were dropped. Not the same thing.

So whats the difference between Dussey and Yusuf in limited overs games?

 

[Blaze 18]

Just thinking about Raina's and Yuvraj's shots makes my blood boil.

 

[Jono]

Do a Mathews and Malinga boys

Shot Yusuf!

 

[Blaze 18]

What is the maximum number of bowlers a bowler can bowl here ? Eight or nine ?

Anyone ?

 

[Contra]

Haha imagine Pathan getting a hundred in SA conditions.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Anyone ?

9. One can bowl 10, actually.

 

[Jono]

Haha imagine Pathan getting a hundred in SA conditions.

Would be so awesome. Perfect timing too considering some of the posts about him in this and another thread

 

[Blaze 18]

Thank you It means Steyn and Morkel have five overs left between them.

Hi all. Isn't this fun? Cricinfo's "win likelihood" graph is always fun - India have been less than 1% for most of this innings but they were in the 2nd ODI chokefest too.

Blaze - four bowlers can bowl nine overs, one can bowl 10, total 46 overs.

That last one from Steyn clocked at 149kph. The boy's gettin' angry.
