Good game.

Duminy very lucky to survive a plum LBW shout, but he batted well.

 

[honestbharani]

Amazing win. JP s superman. Well done RSA. Back to de drawing board for our bowlers.

 

[Burner]

You are being too harsh on them. Theres not much you can do as a bowler when the umpire refuses to give out plumb lbws.

 

[cnerd123]

7 sixes. Crazy. Middled 7 balls and miscued most of the rest.

LOL Indian bowling

Seriously why do they not reconsider Ishant for limited overs? He's much improved bowler as a whole, also where is Umesh? India are being too fancy with this experimentation and "we need to give everyone a chance" bs, just get ur best players and play.

 

[harsh.ag]

Good match! Apart from Axar. He is ****e.

Isn't he banned atm anyway?

Is it only for tests or in general? Thought it was just for the next test match.

Maybe they're keeping both Ish-Mesh fresh for Tests, and also breeding a different stock of bowlers for limited-overs cricket- but that, in turn, raises a question about the blokes they're picking for limited-overs. There can't be an excuse now for picking this bunch. Then again, there's nothing Ishant can do on a flat deck against a top team, unless the top team he's facing is Sri Lanka.

Now there's going to be 2 hours of analysis by the experts on Star Sports concluding that Indian bowling is ****.

Nah the keeping fresh for tests doesn't work for me, I'm not saying they have to play every limited over series but when you consider that the world T20 is coming up early next year its not much of an ask to get your best bowlers playing the T20's. They can rest them from 2-3 ODI's in between so they are not playing a full series but to simply make them test exclusive is unnecessary.

quite agree with Arjun on Ishant generally being ****e in limited overs cricket.

And finally when Ishant F Sharma is getting his **** together by bowling decent lines in test cricket, why do you want him to start playing T20 and ruin his bowling in all formats?

Playing T20's won't ruin anything, Ishant has improved as a bowler in general. All other India pacers play limited overs other than Ishant and they don't seem to get any worse.

They don't get any worse but they don't get any better either. Ishant is actually getting better than his usual **** self.

Let him play test cricket where he is actually doing something useful for the team for a change. Maybe the lack of T20 has actually done him a world of good as evidenced by his performance during the last year and a half

wtf... bowlers get better all the time while playing various formats. Anyway we can agree to disagree as I think Ishant is still better than most duds India will bring in limited overs.

Really? That's not true for all bowlers.
