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

[Burgey]

Was Robin Jackman fake-sleeping there or was he actually just listening with his eyes closed? If so, what was with the head back?

Dodgy.

Jackman strikes me as the sort of bloke who preferred SA before Mandela's presidency tbh.

Good to see Nostrils Yadav back

 

[Burgey]

Sawdust makes it look like someone has spread an alpaca wool rug on the playing surface.

 

[Jono]

Can't see how anyone could be unhappy at Yadav playing ahead of Mohit Sharma, at least in South Africa.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Really squared up, lucky the carry is so low

 

[smash84]

when will dhoni's obsession with Ishant end?

 

[Jono]

India persisting with the "not getting any wickets in the first 20 overs" strategy.

Interesting decision.

 

[smash84]

De Kock screwing India again

 

[The Battlers Prince]

De Kock looks to be a touch of class. incredible for such a young man, very impressed by a few people in world cricket at the moment. Root's another

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Oh gee, the crack of that bat sounds awesome. Lovely timing.

 

[Burgey]

Oh gee, the crack of that bat sounds awesome. Lovely timing.

You'd expect De Kock to have a good piece of wood tbh

 

[Riggins]

Haven't been in any south african threads for a while. Been any **** gags?

 

[Burgey]

None I'm aware of

 

[morgieb]

De Kock to play in the Tests?

 

[centurymaker]

Knew bowling first would be a bad call.

330+ & then another crushing defeat.

De Kock to play in the Tests?

Should have played him instead of Elgar their last home summer. Better batsman and can take the workload off AB.

 

[Spark]

So when exactly did Durban become a beach

 

[ajdude]

reckon this'd be a good scenario for south africa to not bat on after 30 overs and instead double the runs.

 

[Jono]

So when exactly did Durban become a beach

This line made me laugh far more than it probably should have.

 

[Cabinet96]

350 is on.

 

[Burgey]

Where are all the India supporters? Not many about the place ATM.

I'm actually beginning to wonder if anyone has actually thought to tell Sharma he bowls too short to take test wickets? I mean, I know we talk about it here, but has Dhoni noticed?
