im tipping India to win this series. :). I cant stand Graeme Smith at all. plus tendulkar and M. Dhoni are awesome batter and H.Singh and a.Kumble should be the leading wicket takers for india :)

Kumble walks in and rips 2 wickets. Pathan also chips in with 1. Rest Of SA 5 down now.

Sreesanth pounded. :(

Would`ve put $10 000 on Kumble getting McKenzie. Couldn`t find odds. :(

Great recovery by South Africa after being six down for hundred odd. Good stuff by Rudolph and Morkel, especially Jacques who’s had a great start to this season in domestic one day cricket.

Could be a tricky total to chase under lights though I'm interested to see how Steyn gets on. Real chance for himself to get in the one day team with South Africa still searching for a reliable and potent third seamer.

good stuff there b Kumble and Zaheer! I'm really glad that they are finally performing! I want Zaheer to play in the 1st ODI for sure! Not sure about Bhaji and Kumble paying alongside together, though! Sreesanth gets punded! Munaf not too good either! Pathan did better than i thought!

Bowling line up for 1st ODI; Zaheer-Pathan-Munaf-Kumble-Sreesanth
or; include sreesanth and remove either munaf or kumble

What do u think?

Yea, well Kumble - Harbhajan - Powar - Zaheer - Tendulkar bowling lineup may not be too bad ;).

Zaheer definitely has to play. As bizarre as it sounds, Kumble and Harbhajan must both play because they will keep it tight at least. Pathan is a sure thing when we want five bowlers, so he's in. As for Munaf and Sreesanth, both bowled pretty well before the death overs. Sreesanth was 7 for 24 and Munaf was 7 for 27 after 40 overs - then the Saffies got stuck into them and went for 15-20 an over in the last couple.

I mean, has it been batsman error or bowler brillance?
Its Indians being flat track bullies and not knowing how to handle bounce, swing, and other things that you would expect a normal Test quality batsman to face.

Bar Dravid, they should all be expelled from the team.

I can understand that Raina and Dhoni would have issues because they've never faced quality outside of India before this year. Dravid? Kaif? Mongia? Tendulkar? Sehwag?
All of them have played enough cricket outside of India.

Get rid of all of them. No good bastards. Except Dravid, maybe Tendulkar. Maybe. Kaif? Enough chances he's had. Sehwag? ODI? Please. Mongia? WTF?
