***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

Oh dear this cliche

Its test cricket , the Proteas have shown over and over what they are capable of.

What, you mean randomly losing Tests at home to inferior sides?

 

[Jono]

The lack of ability to bowl at the death is just amazing. They will never fix it, that is my prediction. Forever ****house.

 

[Jono]

Bhuv has been amazingly useless today. Offered the team nothing.

 

[Contra]

SA packed their team with pacers lol.

Dhoni and Kohli will have to do something special again for us to have a chance of winning this. Not really understanding the Mohit Sharma love, although he's not the only one getting pasted in the match.

 

[ankitj]

So we will be chasing 320. Isn't this the 434 ground. Must be gettable

No, will be ~350.

India's bowling are an absolute shower. No wonder the pitches they prepared were complete roads, oppo is nailed on for 350 anyway.

 

[Contra]

Is the pitch really flat or are we just bowling crap? Or both?

 

[Jono]

Its both. This is a 320 pitch/ground but my God this is some of the worst death bowling I've seen in a long time.

 

[Maximas]

There was definitely some juice in it when the ball was new, one or two early wickets should have been taken and there were too many loose deliveries, death/middle over bowling has also been pretty poor, pitch has flattened out a bit by the looks of things though

I love how this failed miserably despite being pretty pessimistic (I think South Africa still needed about 9.5 rpo when you said it..)

 

[Jono]

Lol Ab.

I'd be worried if i was an india fan!!..this pace attack looks totally powderpuff here!!..perhaps it's just first game nerves or they just haven't adapted yet? they'll need to get into gear quickly because Ashwin already looks lost in these conditions..

 

[Jono]

Next time take some wickets in the first 20 overs I reckon.

No winning in England where every England supporter said England just needed to pitch up - Thats what

Shami has been really good barring the last couple of death overs reckon he might be the most complete pacer in sub cont at the moment. BK seems like a swing bowlers who needs really helpful conditions to do any damage also he bats I think so can be doing a bit of an all rounder job. Mohit looks like your typical Indian trundler 101.

Haha, was hoping you were watching that.

Shami is weak against left-handers imo!!..second test vs our lot he was nowhere near as effective against our left-hand dominated top order.

 

[91Jmay]

Shami is also nowhere near as good as Junaid Khan. I'd also take the big tall **** over him as well.

yessssssss
