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

Karn sharma is terrible atm

He did well for his team v Mumbai. I went and watched a day of that game. Shouldn't be judged based on Australia at all.

I want to fine the English teacher who taught the word 'intent' to Kohli.

He can't praise a batsman without using this word!

India v/s South Africa: Virat Kohli lauds Ajinkya Rahane's intent, solid technique | Zee News

 

[Howe_zat]

reminds me of this post from BG which is one of the finest ever

How is intent the key? What does that even mean? It's BS speak used by motivational speakers, captains and coaches to sound like they know what they're talking about when they're actually saying nothing at all.

John Wright showed intent when he batted an entire day and only scored 50 runs. His intention was to not get out.

Jesse Ryder showed intent when he missed a morning team practice. His intention was to sleep off his hangover.

I showed intent when I scratched my balls last night while watching telly. My intention was to relieve my itchy balls.

Haha was just going to post that Kohli probably bought into some motivational woo..

 

[Daemon]

Yeah they just use it in place of determination

Sarfaraz Khan is the name of a Pakistan cricketer, surely. It'd be like having an England player named Bruce Marsh or a West Indian player called Jacques de Villiers.

Khan's totally an Indian name. Ask this guy:

PEWS definitely wins the award for worst prediction of the thread IMO.

Nah that wasn't a prediction. **** post though, yes.

This would be funny if Zaheer Khan didnt exist.

Zaheer who?

That post may cost you my vote during the CW best poster comp (or whatever it's called)

None of 'em gonna get half an hour on Channel 9 during the lunch break because they're related to Shaun, Mitch and Geoff though.

I still don't really trust Rahane against spin. I think it may be nearing time for me to admit that Rohit is **** though.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I defended Rohit so much too. Desperately wanted him back in the team at no.6. But his performance here was pukeworthy. His slog in the first innings was worth a dropping on it's own.

Yuvraj Singh vs Rohit Sharma in tests. Who is worse?

Badrinath.
