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

[Jono]

Dhawan could fit very well into the England batting line-up with the way he **** himself at a bit of short stuff there.

 

[smash84]

not a bad start so far, the batsmen seem watchful so far except for that silly pull shot

 

[Sarun]

What I meant was that he's batting like a dumb **** just like Sehwag did back in 2010/11.

I see what you are saying. Hopefully he comes straight. Almost felt with his good run in ODI that he could stay in Tests for long term. That could still happen.
Though if he retains this weakness, he won't be much useful in the long run.
And not sure we have much folks (other than Gambhir) who are knocking down at the openers position. Heck, even Rahabe who seems to be not an opener was considered recently by some folks.

I don't mind failing. I do mind lack of common sense. And all those who say that's the way he plays, just gagf. Utterly daft shot

He should learn from this. Perhaps that Test knock and his good run (before SA series) in the ODI might have made him somewhat complacent to adjust to conditions.

 

[Sarun]

Morkel in now. Hopefully, he remain hungry.

 

[Flem274*]

yeah you catch that leave AB, catch that leave.

 

[Cabinet96]

Good to see the Saffa's appeal after a good leave. Get into the their head. #Mindgames

Watch him poke at the next one.

Edit; **** he actually did.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Did anyone think Dhawan was the most thoughtful batsman beforehand? The writing was on the wall for a while that he might get out like this. No matter, I think he'll learn, but some patience is required


I really admire Vijay's temperament thus far. If he ducks well, leaves well, and get his feet going, idc about his ftb-esque technique. Now don't **** it up

I've said before I didn't much enjoy Dhawan's mentality in the recent West Indies series either.

Honestly that over from Dhawan against Steyn was one if the stupidest displays of batting ever. The plan was so well disguised wasn't it, no one had any idea whatsoever what Steyn was trying

 

[JontyPanesar]

Wow, Vijay's technique actually looks improved. First thing Samosa Fletcher seems to have tangibly done for the team. Now don't **** it up

 

[Jono]

FMD Morne.

 

[Flem274*]

**** I hope this is one of those days where this 38 year old tank still sends them down at a good clip and makes some young bloke look hopeless.

 

[Cabinet96]

Dat super late Kallis swing.

 

[JontyPanesar]

Dhawan, bump:
Bouncy tracks in South Africa suit my game: Shikhar Dhawan

 

[Sarun]

Vijay milking balls for now.

 

[Maximas]

fmd I would have sworn he caught that

 

[Flem274*]

oooh that could have gone anywhere

 

[Sarun]

Now, Vijay should make Saffers pay for that drop.

Edit: I know it was a tough chance.

 

[Burgey]

No wonder Morne looks happy, filling in Ros Kelly.

 

[JontyPanesar]

Seriously, until Morkel shows he can bowl a fuller length, leave the bastard.

 

[Cabinet96]

Why is no one there btw?
