Jokes aside, it was a brilliant match. India's ability to play well under pressure came to the fore once again. Managed to win despite missing four first choice players and losing a crucial toss. Incredible.

Yousuf Pathan seems to have finally turned a corner. Hope he can carry this form into the World Cup.

I forgot to mention - Graeme Smith's captaincy was atrocious. He had the field spread out when India needed three runs to win :laugh: In the last game, in a similar situation, MS Dhoni had most of his fielders inside the circle.

Not looking too much into this particular Pathan innings. Good stuff but from what I read on Cricinfo he was lucky at times as well (along with our whole lower middle order). But still good to see him perform on a more consistent basis now.

Not in ODIs. India aren't number one; fans can suck it.
Yeah, but the #1 isn't playing as well as it should.

Anyway...wow. How the **** does India will all these close games? And how does South Africa lose from strong positions!

Some epic fail going on when your 2 main bowlers bowl their 20 overs for a combined 59/5 and you still lose.

Makes a change for South Africa to go into an ICC event in complete disarray. World Cup squad is carrying two passengers, one because he hit a century against Zimbabwe, the other because he fits the political bill, the side has no lower order finisher or slogger now that Miller was dropped and Albie didn’t make the cut, they can’t get any spinner no matter how crap of the square and numbers 7 and 8 can’t cut it with bat or ball. Every batsman yesterday was **** scared to play a shot as they knew from 7 down, no one will contribute. Actually on Robbie P, on current form he can’t be much worse than Botha and P has form for getting South Africa over the line. Awful captaincy from Smith yesterday also, slogger Pathan doesn't say boo to a goose to the South African quicks, so Smith gives him Botha.

Indian C team as well which is a pretty scary thought.

Get Morne van Wyk to bat 3 for the last two ODIs. Let Ingram slog at 7. Though you can probably expect a recall for David Miller now that he has been dropped from the WC squad.

Whatever it takes!!!
Speaking of gun, how awesome is this field to Harbhajan's bowling. So good for a ODI in SA conditions :cool:
Using the sample size advocated by the likes of Marcuss and GF, I think we should now proclaim unequivocally that Harbhajan is the best spinner in the world... :dry:

Mu thoughts exactly. This Indian juggernaut will have to trip over its own shoe laces if it must be stopped in the world cup.

This "C" team is beating SA with some amazing performances on SA's home. I can't even imagine how strong the A team will be.
