***Official*** South Africa in India 2015

75% India for me even if SA is to chase 215 or some thing. Ashwin and co will be tough to face. SA to get maximum 175 hopefully.

 

[Contra]

Haha what is happening? India still safe though. Need another 20 runs or so. Has the pitch deteriorate further?

Nah India just caught in between on whether to attack or defend. Also not as good against spin as the previous generation IMO.

 

[duffer]

Let's not forget that Kohli started this.

 

[Pratters]

Paint on cheek for the whole day would probably suck.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Not if we set them 215 or something

India ahead with smali's nose

 

[duffer]

Weak.

 

[Contra]

wtf....

 

[StephenZA]

Brilliant, best I could hope for at this stage.

 

[Daemon]

Jesus. To think we could've been 185/2 if only Kohli didn't edge that. Cricket is so funny.

Agree

 

[Contra]

No worries guys, Umesh has a 90 odd in FC cricket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pathetic stuff. Atleast don't let Tahir get a 5fer.

Bigger nose this time imo

Did India request a pitch like this? I would think it would be better for them if bowlers like Elgar and Harmer don't become tough to handle just because of the pitch?

It's the only way we can ever take 20 wickets though

In India? Ashwin doesn't need a dustbowl.. he proved in SL that he just needs a typical subcontinent wicket.. not a 4th day pitch on the 1st day. This is the equivalent of serving up a greentop to a team that's already weak vs seam bowling imo.

Oh look who is favorite

 

[Pratters]

Match could probably have a result if each team bats four times even.

Nah we don't need day 1 turners to get 20 wickets. Ashwin is good enough to carry tha attack these days. I guess they were afraid about Ashwin 's fitness and decided to go for a heavy Turner. Just ends up working against us most of the time.

 

[Pratters]

They were just afraid of Shastri's wrath.
