There are questions over Steyn's action? Heard some stuff when he had just come into the team, haven't heard much after that.

It's a very small minority that comment on it. The ball he sent down before the De Villiers fumble and run out mayhem looked 'different' to me

tbh I don't even think that's the issue. The main issue would be who the replacement would be and the selection process surrounding that player.

If such rules are implemented, the teams will have to select the replacement player before the start of the game, so mostly it has to be an allrounder to make sure he can cover up any area according to the situation.

ftr when it comes to substitutes I'm kinda mixed. While having only 10 guys is unfair, it's hard to see how well policed it could be. Unless you get a neutral doc I don't think I can support it.

Would just be the 12th man surely?

Then depending on the situation an injury to a player may result in an advantage for the team carrying the injured player, which is just ridiculous imo. Imagine if your 12th man is a batsmen, and one of your bowlers gets hurt while batting in the 4th innings in a close chase. Opposition would feel pretty hard done by.

There should be some solution to it, maybe picking 2 guys, a bowler and a batsmen and replacing them accordingly would do. If someone from the top 7(batting order) gets injured replace him with a batsmen or else replace with a bowler.

In that case I think the best way to do it would be to nominate one guy along with the starting 11 to fill in in the event of serious injury.

Yeah, I guess you could always pick an all-rounder type to cover injuries. SA could go with McLaren and India could go with Jadeja.

I don't get what was SA's logic for selecting Tahir this match ?

Not only did the pitch look one that would turn or scruff up, Leg spinners don't really do well against India. Can't even remember who was the last one do so ? Usually even Finger spinners do better.
