no one in the top order tried to disrupt bowlers' length , dhoni came in and took singles coming down the pitch and defended some as well ,bowlers started bowling shorter to him,he had only one close shout 

True

and likes of Rohit and Dhawan should know better, they are now ODI veterans

though i would add wth is team management doing ,playing 2 spinners on such track and then sending pandey ahead of dhoni,everyone who has seen pandey bat and knows he cant survive such conditions

looks like going as per default team selections and batting lineup

[ravishingravi]

Or. It was nice way to scale down expectations byBCCI before SA tour. Suddenly, Indian fans can celebrate non whitewash of No 1 team.

It was kind of pitch where you keep patience till 30th over for 70-4 or 65-3 and then score 100-110 in last 20.

[YCCC]

There was a bit in it for the bowlers but hardly a minefield. Made for good cricket so far. Dhoni showed it was possible to bat on it, apart from a few lucky moments where he nearly played on.

This is a 200-220 pitch. Application was needed, you need to be gritty in the 1st 20-25 overs and then halwa attack.

Yep, I also mentioned another thread, Indian management have a default mode for selections in limited overs. Shastri and co are bland and lazy bastards 

 

There is no extra effort to think about pitch, conditions and opposition...I mean dharamsala is India’s home ground, they should know the conditions inside and out

should have gone in with regular three quicks, batting plans should have been different

Or a devious plan by BCCI to tempt RSA into preparing spicy pitches for the Indian tour. If they simply prepare flat tracks their superior fast bowling will easily bowl them to a victory. Greentops would gave our pacers a chance .

Pitch was good. Problem was due to the early 11.30 there was more moisture than expected.We just needed to bat out first 15 overs patiently and then middle order could have cashed in.Problem all our bats bar Dhoni looked clueless.

 

Remember a similar wicket in Pakistan in 2006 tour when Sachin and Dravid knuckled down saw of the new ball for 15-20 overs without scoring much.The Dhoni and Yuvi came in fully cashed in.

 

 

[cric_fan]

Yeh yeh. SL seem to be batting just fine on the same pitch?

[King Tendulkar]

Bad day at office

I think Sachin got 90 odd in that match when Asif was nipping the ball very sharply both ways, one of the best and most under rated innings of the great man. 

[vvvslaxman]

It is the job of openers to weather the storm upfront. But they constantly go missing when the ball does something.

[chewy]

A lot of chaff in the team

 

ignorant and lack of technique in swinging conditions, can’t weather the storm

Also  Manish Pandey not good enough

 

and Kartik, well

Exactly, thanks to curator for this pitch and for the wake up call before 2018 away tours.

Shows the shoddy technique of our batsmen at Dharamsala

you are not going to get a pitch like this anywhere. This is what is called minefield.

[bowl_out]

They should have such pitches for domestic matches.. 

Playing on pattas all the time and suddenly getting exposed to such pitches in the name of SA prep doesnt make sense

Just goes on to show how rubbish modern day batsmen really are? And then people have the gall to compare today's batsmen with King Viv !!!!

Just out of curiosity how many century or 50 Viv has scored on same kind of pitch as Dharamshala. I get it he was good but bringing old player all the time in discussions gives me an idea that all pitches from the past were like Dharamshala and there were no flat pitches whenever Viv scored century or 50.
