Batting depth

Will Kohli open with Jadhav?

[jf1gp_1]

SA bowling looks weak. If we can hold them till 260-280 we should be able to chase it.

nahi bhai. Ek idea tha ICF pe Chahal se open karne ka. us se acha to Jadhav hoga ek do over ke liye

[WC2011INDIA]

Toss loss and bhuvi!! So far so good. Only SA can bottle this now.

to dent SA, Kock's wicket is crucial. Bhuvi has the best chance to pick him up. He moves the ball both ways.

Quinton Jam gaya to 300 par kar sakta hai SA

Either Bhuvi or Jadeja will play at No.8

It's gonna like this for whole tournament

If Bhuvi plays then it will be Kulcha and No Shami and if jaddu plays then One from Kulcha and No bhuvi.

[Iconoclast]

Very negative thinking playing BK over Shami.

 

On these belters you need express bowling wicket taking threats.

 

Two of the three India quicks are medium pacers

[Stan AF]

This is again a top heavy batting side with both kedhar jadhav and ms dhoni in the lineup. Can't win games with just4 batsmen.

[speedheat]

Pathetic! Why bhuvi over shami?

True. Agree . But may be overcast conditions came into play. Shami is good in the middle but for SA we need wickets at the begining

[Nikola]

Even though shami would have been better option but i think Bhuvi will do good against SA batsman who are already in huge pressure to perform.

I meant this is the best chance for SA to win. Just need to play out first 5-7 overs and then bhuvi can be taken to cleaners.

 

I am in no mood to support this Indian team.

I wish Dekock smash this trundler Kumar so much, that he would never play again. Does not matter if we lose the match because of this.

Agree. If Bhuvi does  not pick up early wickets, Quinton can well take SA 300 plus. 

If you can, dont abuse desh bhakti  by basing it on  cricket. People give their lives for desh bhakti
