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

Finally, an actual spinning pitch in India, and not just one with slightly uneven bounce that only spins in the opposition teams mind.

Hope to see more spinning pitches in the future. Indian batting vs spin has declined as the pitches have gotten flatter.

Game over already after one day.

Ishant is now officially the new Kapil.

India just had better spinners than the opposition.

India has easily the best spin attack in world cricket today. I mean it's close between Ashwin and Yasir for the best spinner in the world, but no team has the 2nd and 3rd best spinners of the standard of Jadeja and Mishra.

Careful captain knee jerk. Jadeja is OK, Mishra is not very good.

Yeah

Away from home Jadeja has been nothing more than an inaccurate, slow med bowler and Ashwin hasn't been much better

Yeah. We used to have batsmen who were better at playing spin too. That advantage has diminished and I want it back .

Nah, outside of the subcontinent they are both pretty ****e.

 

[hendrix]

We still don't actually know how well Yasir will go outside the subcontinent.

 

[hendrix]

By the subcontinent I do mean UAE.

Jadeja is a ****ing boss at home, tbf. Which is all he needs to be in this situation.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah, I mean how rarely will you need a 2nd and 3rd spinner outside the SC anyways?

 

[Daemon]

Well that didn't last long

 

[Cabinet96]

Really hard to see SA as anything other than toast here.

 

[StephenZA]

Elgar so early...

 

[Cabinet96]

Also, on the subject of pitches, I'm kind of surprised India kept producing turners after that England series, but I think it's good they did. I think these types of pitches produce the most gripping cricket anywhere, in any format.

 

[Daemon]

I thought that was a carrom ball, turns out it was an inswinger

 

[OverratedSanity]

That. Was. Awesome.

Can't get a more perfect over than that.
