***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

Just tuning in.

Are SA a bit behind? 174/5 after 36 doesn't look too bright. Or is this not a typical 300+ deck?
Hasn't been a typical 300 pitch in domestic games. Pitch turns quite a bit and is low and slow.

SA still behind thought.

Kuldeep yes, but I still think Jadeja brings more to the team than Chahal (including batting and fielding)
Jadeja's loi batting is pathetic for what is expected of him.

Main problem with Jaddu/Ashwin is that they seem to look out of ideas once the batsman start getting on top. Chahal/Kuldeep seem to find ways to pull things back.

Good knock from Faf but unless the ball does something under lights can’t see how South Africa can defend this. It’s been gun barrel for the quicks.

Great knock by Faf. Bhuvi's been taken apart today. His career ODI figures are pretty ordinary as well. Why isn't Shami playing?

Have we seen enough of Chahal on unhelpful pitches? I doubt

Well played Faf, top innings.

They've got too many for us now IMO, great recovery from 134/5.

If Jadeja isn't playing then Bhuvi is a must at no. 8. Kuldeep / Shami aren't good enough to bat at 8.

Sure enough this has been a very good recovery. But 270 is not that many, is it? SA favourites by a very slim margin, imho.

270 is usually a winning score here. But obviously India have more quality than the domestic teams so I wouldn't place my bets just yet.

Kohli in limited overs cricket is just something else, the man just looks so in control even before he's faced a ball. Such immense body language.

He edged one just past slip on his 2nd ball or so. :p
