When Ind does it..they are daaaaaaaaaa greatest in the universe. Pak does it..meh.

Series win is a series win.

Its not that. When you play 3 match series, 1 fluke game and you win the series. Longer the series, more often stronger teams win. Pak's win in SA is similar to SL winning 2 match test series in Eng by 1-0. India toured next and were exactly 1-0 after 2 tests but Eng came back strongly and won remaining 3 tests to win the series.

Long live king kohli

 

Some say Kohli is similar to Ponting with his aggressiveness (cockiness)

Hated when Ponting bashes the opposition to shambles during his heydays

 

Wonder how much opposition’s moral would be whenever Kohli has the last laugh. We are lucky to someone on our side for once.

 

SA commentary team are having a nightmarish time unlike the previous series’s where they were having fun at Indians (can’t handle pace n bounce blah blah)

the hurt seeps through! ABDV, Amla, DeKock, Miller, Morkel, Rabada, Ngidi, Tahir + Faf till he was injured - if this is a weak team then please tell me what is the strongest SA team? 

Except they played in different teams. ABDV didn't play when Faf, QDK played. Faf gone afrer 1st ODI, got them a new young captain,  Look at any of the previous tours of SA and they had a full proper team. WIth the wrist spinners and top order flourishing , the weakest link in Indian team is the MO that matched with the SA MO performance. Our bowling and top order won the series over SA bowling and top order.

What did DeKock do in the 3 games? Or ABDV in teh 2 he played? Even if you take their best performances, they fall short of India's. 

 

On Paper, Amla >> Dhawan as an opener and Rabada/ Morkel > Bhuvi/ Bumrah. 

 

The only ODI SA has won so far was due to their middle order of Miller & Klassen. India has had only 3 batsmen and 3 bowlers click the whole series... it is a team achievement that we still beat the world #2 side at their home!
