CAPE TOWN: South Africa called as many as five wrist spinners in the nets ahead of the third ODI against India on Wednesday, hoping it will help their struggling batsmen combat the combined threat of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.

Looks more like panic to me.

One man's panic is another man's preparation

To be fair, SA's preparation usually leads to panic in pressure situations.

Thank goodness they weren't under pressure in first two tests then

Spoken like a fan who interprets cricket based on scorecards, instead of what actually happened.   In other words, Tatti.

should have asked for non-spin friendly pitch instead of doing these hoplas

A cloesly fought series played on excessively bowler friendly tracks, that narrowly went to the home team which had the good fortune of winning the toss more than the visitors.    If not for a Shikhar Dhawan dolly drop in the slips  that allowed SA to double their score from 140/5 in T1-I1, we'd all be talking about India out-classing SA in the test series, just as they are in the ODIs.   

 

Ifs and buts aside, SA won the test series, but for anyone to claim that they did so easily is either lying intentionally or just plain ignorant.

All this has to do with SA practising using  5 wrist spinners is what?

I don't know, you tell me - you are the "real man of genius" who brought up the test series when everyone else is talking about the on-going ODI games.

Oh you meant with the comment " usually leads to panic in pressure situations " you meant present ODI  series only

Oh, I meant it with respect to the on-going game and series.    What did you think I was referring to?  The inter-galactic droid race?  

 

And SA have quite an impressively consistent record of "panic in pressure situations".   So not sure why you are getting all hot and bothered about such a throwaway comment, which also happens to be accurate.

Well you have more knowledge of inter- galactic droid races than cricket so you can see my mistake . I think you are confusing me with yourself getting all hot and bothered

Why would you bring up the test series in this thread about the 3rd ODI then?

Because you made comment about SA in pressure situations and you didn't mean this ODI series 

 I was engaged about the topic and a quote that 5 practise wrist spinners looked like panic and I argue that is normal preparation for an international side.  

SA  in panic mode in cricket is a different  topic which in different circumstances I could agree withyou

Dude, the thread title says "3rd ODI" - how did you come to the conclusion that I didn't mean this "ODI series"?  On what basis?  

 

Anyway, let it go.   Its ok.   Fans get defensive at times, I understand.
