vishalvirsingh Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 guys... i did not see any celebration thread... Do you realise its a dream for FANS and ANALYSTS of cricket and to achieve this dream of winning in africa is as good as possibly going on a date with a bollywood female star...M i correct?? when we beat Lanka i was hardly excited.. But beating africa in odi by 5-1...sorry its not beating but THRASHING africa 5-1 in ODI. Beating africa by 2-1 in T 20. and loosing by a whisker in test series by 1-2. african test team could save their face by winning the test series and already many of their folks are getting replaced by younger one's , had the africans lost test series, half of their team would have lost their JOB. even lankans also did that by chopping so many of their batsman and now africans are thing that way. I feel the africans do have talent but they do not pick the right team. we also have to give a thumbs up to the india coaching staff and even the selectors to picking up the right team. velu, express bowling, Number and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment
nevada Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The most important series - the test series was lost. The team failed to live up to the #1 ranking and lost test after test. A dead rubber win in the test series and a couple of LOI series win cannot mask this big failure. The LOI wins, great as they are, are masking some fundamental issues plaguing the team. Besides Kohli and to an extent Dhawan, the batting is in bad shape. Middle order is spineless. The spin twins are obviously the big stars of the series as they repeatedly dismantled the SA lineup and their positive attitude is awesome. It would be great if they are backed fully and can repeat this success against other opposition also. Forever Indian, Jimmy Cliff, GoldenSun and 1 other 4 Link to comment

The loss in first two tests were brutal. There was lack of practice games, poor combination, Rahane/Bhuv non selection. Papu's drops Dhawans drops..general catch drops..stupid execution on day 4 when chase was possible first test. For me its an honors shared series. Not the victory which we felt was possible with a weakening SA side, next time many of our prime players might be on the wane and theirs might have just come of age.. They have to beat England this time around as it will be similar scenario..Aus is a prime team so it will be a difficult series. Link to comment
prinzo Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Well I suppose south africa has the best players in Africa. And can probably field a full strength squad from south africa to represent Africa as a whole, with the reserves and water boy aswel. Sorry your topic just sounded funny to me because you mentioning a continent. But all good. Vilander 1 Link to comment
