*Official* India in South Africa

NEHRA

 

[vcs]

Nehra is bowling some terrible crap here.

 

[andyc]

Amla allergic to not scoring in ODIs. Just phenomenal.

 

[Teja.]

Awesome jinxage guys.

 

[Uppercut]

Ooo, this match suddenly looks more interesting.

 

[Blaze 18]

Amla gone

 

[Jono]

South Africa paying $2.20.

Get the **** on. I rate this Indian ODI team, but no Sehwag and Gambhir, batting under lights, anything over 250 will be tough.

Now with Sachin and Kohli India could chase down 1500 don't get me wrong. Just reckon they won't.

 

[Prince EWS]

Munaf is such a gun first change ODI bowler. It's a such a shame that he can't really bowl in other periods of the innings, can't field, can't bat, has a **** attitude and is injured half the time.

In other words: if he wasn't so **** at cricket, he'd be an awesome cricketer.

Is Gambhir missing the entire series?

 

[Blaze 18]

Now would be a good time to bowl Yuvraj Singh.

 

[Prince EWS]

Now would be a good time to bowl Yuvraj Singh.

Yeah AWTA.

 

[Prince EWS]

Now would be a good time to bowl Yuvraj Singh.

Yeah AWTA.

Dhoni agrees.

 

[shankar]

Bhajji's adjusted really well to the pace of the different pitches throughout this tour.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'd love to see De Villers take it to Yuvraj here, even though South Africa don't have the ideal platform. Nehra's been destroyed so if Yuvraj can be taken to as well Dhoni will be right under the pump even though SA are three down.

 

[Blaze 18]

Dhoni agrees.

 

[Blaze 18]

I'd love to see De Villers take it to Yuvraj here, even though South Africa don't have the ideal platform. Nehra's been destroyed so if Yuvraj can be taken too Dhoni will be right under the pump even though SA are three down.

They have quite a long tail today, that must be on his mind. If he gets out trying to take Yuvraj Singh on, South Africa will be in the deep trouble.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind trying to get after him if they didn't have Parnell coming in at 7. Also there's no need to take big chances in pursuit of a large total when India have to bat under lights.

 

[Furball]

All the same, this passage captures absolutely everything that's dire about ODIs.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind trying to get after him if they didn't have Parnell coming in at 7. Also there's no need to take big chances in pursuit of a large total when India have to bat under lights.

Botha will bat seven tbf; Parnell's eight. But yeah, point taken. I just think the risk might be worth the reward in this case - India only have four bowlers and one of them has gone for tens; having their part-timers attacked would leave them in a bit of a spot.

They'll compound things by waiting far too long to take the batting powerplay as well. Should actually be looking to take it about now IMO.
