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

[Cruxdude]

Expected this team. Time for Ishant to stun the world with a 10 for. Hope we survive the day.

 

[Shri]

Batting first are india.

 

[Jarquis]

Ishant and Tahir play

 

[Cevno]

Ishant Urgh.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm tipping Ishant to do well.
And then be rank for 5 more years till his retirement

 

[hendrix]

Despite the fact that Ashwin's batting is superb, I'd absolutely be picking Ojha instead. India need to threaten to take 20 wickets and I think that Ojha is the better bowler, especially in these conditions.

If Ashwin could bat 6 or 7 then I'd include him but I don't think he trumps Ojha's superior bowling when he's batting at 8.

 

[Shri]

Wtf is MSD thinking? Play Yadav ffs. It won't matter anyway but give him some experience.

His height should help with the bouncy track. In theory.

Should help Ishant too.

****ing hell Pat Symcox got fat. This was the **** lambasting teams in the 2011 world cup for not taking singles. When was the last time this bloke ate for one?

 

[Jarquis]

India 1.3 to have an opening partnership of 10 or more ffs.

 

[CricAddict]

Will India score more than 100? or for that matter 50? Anyways, the match is gone as we are going in with only 10 players.. **** Ishant..

 

[smash84]

On cricinfo

"Richard taunts them with this little dig: "Has India peaked too early by winning the toss?!"

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm feeling strangely optimistic. Maybe it's because of watching the Ashes.

Who knows maybe Ishant will do a Johnson and take 10-fer

 

[smash84]

India should at least score 250, given their batting line up

 

[Jono]

Great shot Vijay. Just leave almost everything outside off in the first 10 overs please.

 

[Jono]

In the (largely good natured) spirit which has permeated the Ashes thread, I would like to wish Indian fans an absolute ****ing nightmare as their team gets torn a new one.

All the best.

As long as we score more than 47 I'll be happy.

 

[Flem274*]

He's faced 6 balls and Vijay already looks better than some Indian posters had me believing.

 

[Cabinet96]

Bowling line up was soooooooo predictable. Happy Jadeja isn't playing though.

 

[Shri]

Classy on drive from Vijay.
