***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

[OverratedSanity]

Come on SA, this is the moment for you to lollapse

 

[morgieb]

Fair play to Faf, he looked completely clueless against the Pak spinners only a few weeks ago. He has played Ashwin really well here.

Has to be one of the more clutch bats of all time.

 

[Daemon]

Choke ffs. Where the **** is the damn choke.

 

[morgieb]

Oh wow.

 

[Spark]

Man, Faf was seriously slow to set off there. Ball-watching.

 

[OverratedSanity]

You better be here when SA don't win. You can't be pulling this **** and then disappear.

Also, da fuq?

Look, I was as optimistic as you were 3 hours ago, but it looks bad now.
Key is that the bowlers have bowled a ****tillion overs and will be exhausted now

The best part is that you don't realise that it is you Jono. You alone who has caused this.

The only way to break the jinx is by opening the doritos before the tea break. Once you do so, breakthrough.

 

[Sarun]

SA haven't choked on these situations recently (if they had before, perhaps, but not recently since after their tour to NZ).

 

[Garson007]

30 overs is more than enough for 6 wickets.

What? I'm not saying India will win. I'm saying they won't lose. The difference is so massive.

Do you know how quickly they have to score? India can put fielders back etc. etc.

 

[Daemon]

An Indian win from here is pretty much not happening. Just 33 overs to go.

He deserves it for Mohali IMO.

 

[morgieb]

South Africa's choking is over-rated at Test cricket anyway.

TBF if there is one thing I would absolutely back ABdV over any other batsman in the world to do, it would be to smack bowlers around the park when the time comes to do so. Put the field back to him and he will run you ragged.

Not more than 4 rpo. They've been going at a decent clip for a while now and will keep going st this pace until they have 12-15 overs with lots of wickets in hand. That'll give AB licence to really go for it.

yeah and these two are (usually) pretty good runners between the wickets. Ones into twos etc.

Well under a run a ball. So yeah. Putting fielders back leaves it open for singles and when you couple that with the occasional boundary it becomes very doable if SA can keep a partnership going.

 

[Jono]

Yeah definitely, because he's a ****ing gun bat.

 

[Spark]

If these two are in with, say, 60 required in the last ten, you'd be brave to bet against them.

 

[Jono]

Not more than 4 rpo.

It is.
