Wonder why Sanju Samson was not picked for this series. Not that it would have solved all our problems but his two outings against SL were 39(25) and 18(12). Was striking at 146 in the IPL also and scored 450+ runs.

 

He would have one sent to moon.  Problem is every Indian batsman has some weakness or other. No genuine power hitting option either in death or power play overs.

Gavaskar " Batting is not going to be easy for South Africans "

 

 Abe have you seen Indian bowling.. Same old crap is playing today.. 

 

Shreyas is the biggest fraud who can't play any bowling except spin. Kartik looks as lost in internationals as always.

Recipe for disaster prepared by Dravid. I hope Pant uses his options smartly today. 

[vvvslaxman]

Nortje is bowling at 127 kph. Timing is harder against slower ones.

[zen]

This is as good an Ind side as it gets as replacements including Rohit-Kohli are either of similar level or a downgrade per form 

 

SA is too good. Though when SA bat, it will provide a good idea of the pitch 

[Majestic]

How long will Pant bat like Afridi and keep throwing his wicket in T20s??

[vvvslaxman]

They are bowling a touch slower to KKD, but at full pace to Axar.

Harshal and Bhuvaneshwar cannot play together. Never.

Ishan, Pant, DK and Pandya (international not IPL) enough inconsistent batsmen in the team to add one more. Sanju is even more inconsistent version of young Rohit Sharma.

Rohit ,Shami,Hardik wasnt there. 

Rohit ok. Shami and Hardik....Shami hardly get chance in t20 team. Hardic, really i have never seen this tulla performing in international T20 with bat and especially tournament. Anyway he is getting chance here again let's see kya ukhadta hai. Parnell cleaned him up like a tailender I can only imagine what starc, Cummins, boult, saheen of Archer will do to him.

[nitinbwj]

Don't think even 140 is easy. 130 may be. 

[vvvslaxman]

Nortje is bowlingg at 127, 130 k to KKD. 142k To axar. They don't provde him pace.

[Lord]

lol Bapu goes too

[vvvslaxman]

147 kph ball to Axar lol 

[Norman]

Remember when we won the first Test comfortably in South Africa and everyone were saying how they'll now go the West Indies, Sri Lanka route and become minnows and some **** like that. 

 

Yeah since then they've blanked us 7-0 in all the formats.

SA series was ODIs. Shami is brilliant there

 

Hardik is better than V Iyer atleast

[Frustrated]

BCCI should completely pull out of all forms of intl cricket.    And arrange IPL 3 times in a year.    That's one way of getting rid of the endless embarrassment we face.
