***Official*** India in South Africa

[Dravid]

I wouldn't really agree with that! India aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be! On their day they can perform...IMO, one bad performance against the aussies doesn't show much! Apart from the dismal Pathan, bowlers like munaf, sreesanth, agarkar and especially Harbhajan have been O.k. Certainly better than the current pakistani team.

We are talking about Fast bowlers here. Bhaji is a spinner

And as far as rest of the bowlers go, Poker Boy is talking about current form. And Indian bowlers haven't done ****.

They can still match up to a Shoaib-less, Asif-less Pakistani pace attack. Gul is good and Rana is decent, the rest over there are trash right now.

Well anyway, anyone know the reason of having a Twenty20 between 5 ODI's? I mean wouldn't you rather have it after the ODI series?

I would rather have it before the ODI series, actually.

Why bother having it at all?

 

[Nishant]

B4 the one day series would be best. Its quite weird how they just slipped it in in between a series! TBH, i think it would just switch focus! Im not sure thats exactly what we wnat, especially if the series is gonna be close.

On the other hand, im quite happy to see india play their 1st 20-20! Should be good fun!

 

[Perm]

If they are going to have a Twenty20 fixture on every tour then I think it should be the opening game, before the ODI and Test series. This way the players can have a bit of a hit out and warm up for the real cricket to come later.

 

[Turbinator]

Yea me too, I can't wait for them to play their first 20/20.

Any predictions on who will win and who will come out on top.

Personally I feel, eventhough it's a no brainer, Sehwag/Tendulkar/Dhoni will play key roles.

 

[Jono]

In the middle of the series? Are you kidding?

 

[Dravid]

Nope, it's after the 4th ODI, and before the 5th ODI. I say Dhoni to open in the Twenty20

We already have Sehwag and Tendulkar opening and that's explosive enough.

Sehwag, Tendulkar, Pathan, Dhoni, Dravid, Raina, Karthik, Agarkar, Kumble, Harbhajan, Zaheer/Munaf

All eleven can hit the ball hard.

 

[Perm]

Harbhajan can obviously hit the ball only half as hard as the other guys, thus his inclusion in your team twice.

Fixed.

Em, Raina?

He's quite good at accelerating the run rate. Don't go by the recent ****-up against Australia in the CT, he can really hit in the late overs. He's just been out of touch lately.

 

[silentstriker]

Bleh, they should always play the Tests first. That way I can stop caring after that series.

You're such a try-hard sometimes.

What the hell is the try-hard?
