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

Jeez, if ever a wagon wheel should show a team they have bowled too short it's that one.

Tahir is village isn't he? Fair dinkum seen grade leggies land them better than him.
You'd imagine Smith is going to tahir him a new asshole if he keeps this rubbish up.

Gets nothing on the ball and has very poor accuracy. Can't really see very much to recommend him at this level at all.

Yeah, I've kept half an eye on the current one day tournament, but until recently I didn't even follow SL domestic cricket at all, so I don't know too much, would be nice if I could get Migara or some other Sri Lankan fans interested
I'd post in it. Plus, as I said, if you build it they will come. I'm hoping to bring over some of the better members from the Zimbabwe fan forum but it won't happen if we don't even have a Zimbabwe domestic thread, hence my efforts. If you start a thread then Migara and Lostman will reply IMO, might even trick chaminda_00 or JASON into a return. :p

No idea why South Africa bothered with Tahir, surely they'd have realised he could've been smashed against India?

I really don't see the point of Tahir. Duminy will bowl half of his overs in the end. They should have just played Kleinveldt.

Even Faf could bowl leggies tbh.

I guess they found it a bit harsh to replace Tahir given how well he went in the UAE, despite knowing at the back of their minds that he isn't the sot of bowler you'd expect to have India under the barrel with.

Who will have half his overs bowled by Kallis. :p

Should've just owned up to the fact that Kallis and Duminy are frontline bowlers and played de Kock, obvs. :ph34r:
Yeah, I know five seamers is a bit excess, but it would allow Kallis to focus more no his batting. They definitely should've played a better batsman than Tahir though. Even if it's Robbie P.

I'd have been very happy if they picked de Kock though.

Yeah, I said during the Pak-SA series that I'd rather have Tahir over Petersen (however the **** you spell it) but you need a spinner who can hold an end in SA, at the very least, and Tahir is never going to do it in a million years against India.

Will probably spend all his time around the wicket the one time he gets conditions that suit too. WAC.

I'm not defending the Tahir selection, but he would have definitely been picked for the last few days of the match, not day 1. SA, would love it if he could keep an end tidy though, so he's been poor so far in that regard.

Pitch is a lot flatter tbf
Centurion 2010/11 was not much different from what we have on offer today. The batsmen have the sun behind their backs today though. From memory, Centurion was pretty gloomy and cold on that first day morning.
