***Official*** India in South Africa

New Rule​

South Africa must bowl from 50 yards away, that way the pace and bounce will be something the Indian batsman are used to. Its unfair IMHO. ICC needs to step in.

I like the rule Richard posted in this thread before. Too lazy to dig it out but I'm sure you read it.

Another great shot for six by Dhoni.

That last ball by Nel wasn't given a wide. WTF? Stupid umpires

 

[adharcric]

This is seriously ridiculous. How are these bouncers by Nel not wides? We've been robbed of 5-6 runs already, not to mention the extra balls to score additional runs.

 

[Dravid]

Nel gets away with too much, and I'm not just talking about Wides

I like sledgers, really. If you wilt under someone calling you ****, you probably don't deserve to be an international cricketer.

 

[adharcric]

This is hilarious. We celebrate when Sreesanth clocks 140. These guys have a #5 bowler who can do that in Kallis.

Leave the umpires alone! They're two good men.

Yea, my eyes get a twinkle when I see 140 when an Indian is bowling.

With other countries, I would be saying something like "Wow, thats a nice slower ball there by Ntini."

 

[Dravid]

I almost had a heart attack when that ball flew by second slip off Dhoni.

Alright, it's not THAT bad.

 

[Dravid]

And he gets out next ball. Good night India.

 

[adharcric]

Damn we just got owned. I hate that third-man position.

 

[Dravid]

Pathans introduction should be Left Arm Slow Pacer, Left Handed Batsman.

 

[silentstriker]

Barry Richards had an absolutely correct assessment of Indian cricket:

He said, it doesn't really matter who is captaining or coaching this team. I think India really need to look hard at themselves and their infrastructure. There is no reason why their players should be this unaccustomed to pace and bounce. They just all look like they don't want to be here when the ball is flying around and doing this.

 

[jot1]

We weren't that much better off at this stage in our innings. But we did have batsmen to come.

 

[tooextracool]

this is absolute rubbish,why do they even bother with day/night games in SA? almost always theres a serious advantage for the team bowling 2nd. What a farce.

Err, frankly I don't think it would matter if India batted first and got twice as many overs to make a score.
