Both pitches were closer to the home tracks of Aus / NZ. This gives me hope regarding this test team playing outside Asia. Mosher and Laaloo 2 Link to comment

Bouncy tracks of Aus/Sa are not same as Indian bouncy wickets...by that account Vinay Kumar should be the first name on the team sheet when we tour Eng and Nz...as a big follower of the game I am sure you have seen him bowl on green tracks at home. our players have no problem with true bounce but on these pitches there is usually a lateral movement as well. Let Philander play on a bouncy surface in Mohali or Mumbai,he will get smacked around like a part timer but on a bouncy South African surface he is as effective as Morkel. the zip off the pitch matters too and there will be a lot more of that in South Africa. I get your point though pitches in Dharamshala was the closest we got to an overseas pitch in recent times.both against Aus and in the recent Srilankan odi game.

maniac Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The only reason to have this kind of a bravado is if you have a bank balance like bill gates or the looks of Brad Pitt or a n18 inch Oh I forgot it’s an online forum I mean cmon guys it’s good to cheer the team if we find ourselves in the situation like we did in the first test within a shot but where is this bravado and confidence coming from...there are a lot of problems with the team....catching and batting the obvious glaring ones but even the much improved bowling has not shown the consistency...fantastic one day and mediocre the next like we saw in the first test itself.

YCCC Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Those three words FFS I hate it when people say that. It means they're desperately trying to convince people, and themsleves, that they'll be right without even being sure themselves. Words truly "marked". I'll be surprised if they prove to be correct.

Our batting is going to click I am sure but not all of them will come to the party yet but we should post 350 after batting first and then bowl them out for around 240ish and take a 100 plus lead and will add 250ish and give them a target of 350ish and wll win by 160 some runs.

Vinay Kumar never ran through international teams on Indian green tracks. There is a huge difference between standard Ranji batters and international batters. 7 hours ago, maniac said: our players have no problem with true bounce but on these pitches there is usually a lateral movement as well. Let Philander play on a bouncy surface in Mohali or Mumbai,he will get smacked around like a part timer but on a bouncy South African surface he is as effective as Morkel. SA batters had huge problems with movement and bounce too. Reduced to 12 for 3 when ball was moving in the first innings and dismissed for 130 on a seaming pitch in the 2nd innings. Also, look at the seam movement and zip of the Kolkata 2016 test pitch against NZ, which we won http://www.bcci.tv/videos/id/2693/india-vs-nz-2016-2nd-test-day-2-bhuvneshwar-kumars-533 7 hours ago, maniac said: the zip off the pitch matters too and there will be a lot more of that in South Africa. Look at the zip and bounce on the Dharamsala 2017 test pitch in the video below ..... no less than bouncy SA and Australian tracks . http://www.bcci.tv/videos/id/4553/bouncers-served-hot-courtesy-umesh-yadav-bhuvneshwar-kumar 7 hours ago, maniac said: I get your point though pitches in Dharamshala was the closest we got to an overseas pitch in recent times.both against Aus and in the recent Srilankan odi game. 3 such test match pitches ..... Kolkata 2016 against NZ, Dharamsala 2017 against Australia and Kolkata 2017 against SL. ( not considering the SL test due to the Asian opposition not used to such a pitch ) Mosher and Laaloo 2 Link to comment
prinzo Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Don't forget from south africa perspective abdv, Morkel, du Plessis, and NGIDI if he plays will be playing home ground next test match and will be eager to do well. Link to comment

Sonix768 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 By the looks of it, our maximum run scoring capacity in flat pitches is about 350, as I don't see anyone scoring double hundreds and helping the team to 500+. So if we get a flat pitch, we are doomed as SA can easily plunder to 550+. So I hope for another juicy bowler friendly wickets and we might do a Jo'berg 2006 or Durban 2010 encore. Link to comment
