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

[Jono]

SA would probably benefit more if Imran Tahir had that realization, just saying

!!!!!!!!!

 

[centurymaker]

With Tahir out this game and Robin P coming in, SA batting line-up has become seriously longer.

 

[Shri]

No it hasn't. Marginally longer, yes.

 

[akilana]

wtf, what a random comment.

you mean yours was??

 

[CricAddict]

India just choked period

Didn't know South Africa was also called as 'period'

 

[rza]

Morne is fit and playing today. Thats a relief considering the possibility of Kleinveldt playing.

 

[silentstriker]

Wow really? Did not expect that. Hopefully he is fit enough to last the whole Test - even though it'd be a huge help to India, it's so much fun to see Steyn, Merkel and Philander all working in concert.

I honestly don't think it's worth the risk playing him. Morkel will break down. I just know it.

 

[smash84]

yeah, they shouldn't be risking him. They should drop Tahir though

 

[Garson007]

Lost the toss. Oh well. Another defeat incoming.

 

[Maximas]

Does Durban turn?

 

[Cevno]

Sir Jadeja in for Ashwin.

 

[Maximas]

Good ****ing lord, Ashwin is legitimately a better batsman than Jadeja, fmd

 

[OverratedSanity]

They dropped Ashwin? Dafuq is this?

 

[Cruxdude]

Think Jadeja for Ashwin might prove to be be an inspired selection. Sir for the win.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hope SA have picked a half fit morkel because they're desperate for him to play no matter what and it backfires.

First session breakdown like Zaheer in England imo

 

[Cruxdude]

Good ****ing lord, Ashwin is legitimately a better batsman than Jadeja, fmd

Who is better suited to contribute with the ball here is the question and Ashwin's performance on the last day clearly didn't help.

 

[CricAddict]

Jadeja in for Ashwin a very defensive decision imo..Dhoni aiming for a draw from the word go..

 

[OverratedSanity]

Think Jadeja for Ashwin might prove to be be an inspired selection. Sir for the win.

Strangely I actually thought Jadeja would do well in SA before the tour started and believed he should be selected . Now that it's happened it looks stupid, especially at Ashwin's expense

 

[Cevno]

Ashwin has done **** all with the ball in overseas test to be fair.


Averaging 75. Can't accomodate that in a 4 man bowling attack.
