Should India try to go after Philander

If not at the beginning should Indian batsmen stay outside the crease and take everything on the full or force him to bowl short?  Once you allow him enough length to swing he can become lethal in helpful conditions.  They have to disturb his rhythm.  He reminds me of guys like Derek Pringle, Angus Fraser who would keep hitting the same length.

To go after Philander you need 

 

1) Technical ability and know where your off stump is and 

 

2) Wide range of shots.

 

None of our batsmen have both .So them going after Philander will only lead to their down.We don't have Sachin or Laxman in this team anymore for that.

They should but we can’t ask Vijay nd Pujara to change their game. Rahul I am sure will go after him whenever he thinks the ball is lose and so will Kohli, but about Rahul, this is going to be  his first time, that is if he is given chance, and its better we don’t expect much from him. May be thats when he might surprise us and deliver some runs whih we all are hoping for.

 

Like I said earlier South Africa is the place with most dismissals taking place behind the wicket around at and around slip cordon region. We should be wary of that.

 

 

Be Positive but not over aggressive.

Ashwin tried that actually lol but just like most Ashwin innings in tests,he ran out of steam.

Sehwag never had the technique to do that in these conditions.

 

His record in SA is horrific.Only redeeming feature was his debut hundred.

I meant swag of sehwagh(positive attitude) and not actual sehwagh.

Philander can always have the keeper up should you stay outside of the crease. I am not sure he would do with new ball. Batsmen have to find a way to throw him off his line and length. It is almost like he is always one ball away from snaring the batsman. I do not expect pitch to be flat given that how fragile our batting is against moving balls.

But he did had have that quick fire 30 in durban in 2010. That was a underrated knock.

The next pitch will not movement off the pitch. So he will be easier to play. But India needs to play Rabada and Morkel better. South Africa is preparing pitches according to their bowling strengths.

No ,it's easy to say but rather difficult to execute ,these guys don't have the technical perfection to dent attacks on seaming deck.its better to wear him out and try to score in the middle session
