No it's a rubbish point. I don't see why how ou go India is somehow some bench mark for your place in the game, as opposed to how you go any place else. There's a bit of that **** goes on here. I mean, if a bloke does well there but not in, say SA, why would that somehow reflect better on him as a player than if he did well in SA but not on the hand crafted turners of India? Seems weird to me.

Still think South Africa should be good enough to win this test. But have to give India credit for surprising everyone in this test series.

You can't be serious. Shastri was not implying that the player has to play well only in the subcontinent.

Yeah if you don't care about players being branded flat track bullies and what not and hold that opinion, you are consistent. **** like that causes grief for ****s who like to win arguments rather than share knowledge about the game and **** they have seen. **** 'em.

But having said that some might hold the opinion that you have to perform well in all conditions...screw it, I forgot the point I was going to make and it wasn't that good anyway. Lost the thought.

Is that the one with the par 3 where you tee off from the top of a cliff?



I'd have thought India's best chance to pick up a couple of cheap poles would be Zaheer with the new rock tbh, proncipally because he's their best bowler and Shami goes well, too. Would have thought he'd have taken it before tea so there could be a double burst with it.

No Kallis likes leopard creek. its near nelspruit and super fancy. not sure if its the same one. leopard creek has international golf tournaments on it sometimes and your average joe simply wont be playing there.

That par 3 off the cliff isnt too far away.

Indeed.

All Shastri was saying is having a good record in the subcontinent AND everywhere else makes you a more complete player. Like the least controversial thing ever.

south africa need to score quick runs after tea if they want to win. really drove it home... they said they would do anything to win.

Yeah you'd think they need to pick up the pace. If they don't they'd be relying on an India lol-collapse of 100-120 total in the 2nd innings to win. Which isn't entirely out of the question, but it'd be easier if they get a lead earlier so even if India put on 200 in the 2nd dig SA can still chase down a small total.

Also blokes must ****ing lick their lips when there's no slips at a crucial stage on a regulation test deck. How can you possibly think you're in danger.
