surajmal Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 If the match gets cancelled, so be it. This is India's first chance to dance on the corpses of firangis. It would exceedingly short sighted to let it go. Link to comment

Gollum Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Try to win the match, only way to shut our critics up is by taking the 10 wickets today. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Use the bounce as a weaopon and not become predictable. Make sure don’t bowl too many deliveries on the leg side as Pappu will give away four byes. Link to comment
fineleg Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Use body line as a weapon from time to time to get wickets today. If some SA batsmen/bowlers get hit as part of it, so be it. Give them chin music, but most important thing is to get the 9 wickets soon. Link to comment
Deleted_User_1 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) So you are willing to get the match cancelled in order to hurt your opponent rather than focus on a win?? OK, you are free to think whatever you want. However, I think that will not be a winning tactic. A few more balls hitting the helmet and umpires will stop the game whether it is the pitch or SA inadequacy!! The better strategy would be to use the short ball as a surprise weapon, but bowl in the right areas and let the pitch do its thing. There is enough juice in this pitch where Bhuvi/Shami can get prodigious movement and get edges if he pitches the right line and length. Bumrah can get enough zip and bounce back even from short of a good length. The ball that hit Elgar was a short pitched ball that kicked up a bit more than he anticipated. On a more placid pitch it probably would have not kicked up as much, but Bumrah does have the ability to be skiddy and extract bounce. The same ball if pitched a little further up would still have kicked up and hit him on the handle/glove and lobbed up for a catch instead of hitting the helmet.

MechEng Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 South Africans admire Gandhi and what Indians did yesterday shocked them because it was very 'un-Gandhi' bowling. Bowl line and length, and win with ahimsa. Link to comment
