[Second Spitter]

I would take SA's bowling attack over India's any day of the week, ftr.

was this even up for debate?

 

[Ahmad Zahir]

But this attack won’t work outside SA

I wouldn't. if the game was being played in India.

 

[ajdude]

nah that was just pad surely

 

[ajdude]

hahaha ****ing haysman looking for any reason for that to be not out

 

[Ahmad Zahir]

Amir has been amazing in this series but people still find a reason to blame him for the series loss. Now they are saying that it wasn’t a bowled or LBW lol

 

[Second Spitter]

was this even up for debate?

Some of the Australian commentators, using dodgy stats, are comparing India's attack to Marshall, Holding and Garner

But this attack won’t work outside SA

Works pretty well in Oz.

 

[Spark]

But this attack won’t work outside SA

apart from all the times it has

 

[StephenZA]

Well to be fair, we would unlikely play this 4 man pace attack outside SA..... but Maharaj as the incoming bowler in less pace friendly conditions has done pretty well.


2nd Best bowling attack in the world.

 

[Borges]

2nd Best bowling attack in the world.

Overall, I would rate it as the best attack in the world. It's just that it is not the best or even the second best attack everywhere.

 

[Daemon]

It's the best in the world.

In the SC it's second to India, that's about it. Everywhere else they're the best.

 

[GRAB]

So is the pitch (and atmospherics) more difficult than was thought or are both sides just much better at bowling than batting...

 

[Borges]

Both sides are better at bowling than batting.

 

[vcs]

Just for a change, I'd like to see a couple of absolute roads in SA, LOL. Was the Cape Town match where Stokes hit 258 the last one?

 

[GRAB]

More games at St. Georges?

 

[ishqiya]

It's the best in the world.

In the SC it's second to India, that's about it. Everywhere else they're the best.

That's half of the cricketing world.

I'd say both are neck and neck as can be seen by this.

de bruyn...

 

[artvandalay]

Duminy replacement. Keep looking like a million bucks when out there but find ways of getting out.

 

[SeamUp]

It would be totally understandable if de Bruyn was left out of the test squad for Sri Lanka.
