My India XI

 

Jaiswal

Gaikwad

Gill

Yadav

Singh

Sharma

Sundar

Chahar

Kumar

Siraj

Singh

 

It looks like clouds all day, so Chahar and Kumar may be effective. Would be nice if Jaiswal or one of the other guys can chip in with a couple of overs for variety, if needed.

Port Elizabeth.. now called Gqeberha.. The venue of the test match which started the end of ICC and rise of BCCI..  The Mike Denness test happened here and India decided to pack their bags.. till SAF bowed down and the third test was declared unofficial..mike denness never officiated a test again...

I only have a vague remembrance of this incident, am biased of course, and so I think it was a witch-hunt against SRT.

it was not a witch hunt.. it was one of the most pathetic racially aggravated incidents even seen in a cricket field when 5 players were charged for excessive appealing and Sachin was charged for using his nails to take of the dirt from the ball.. and see now the whole saf is waiting for this india tour.Cricket South Africa (CSA) is now looking to mitigate their previous three years’ combined losses of USD 28.5 million as per a recent Cricbuzz report.CSA’s ambitions won’t just end by wiping away the above mentioned losses. In fact, they intend to make an additional profit of USD 40.2 million – all within a 29-day India’s tour of South Africa.

On hell of a bowling line up we have… it makes everyone tune in to watch…slmh

[Austin 3:!6]

Massive game. Finally the day is here we were waiting for so long

 

[Chaos]

Imagine klassen and others murdering bishnoi and co. We might be seeing some high 200s from SA

About 40 minutes to toss and we are witnessing a steady drizzle. ☔ #SAvIND https://t.co/eMsb79d2UN pic.twitter.com/28bzBMBY98

bahat sookha zameen tha.. aakhir baarish aa hi gaya

[neel roy]

india bat first..24/2

[Austin 3:!6]

Shubhman Gill should have been the captain and not SKY

[nitinbwj]

Bishnoi not in playing XI... WTF. Is Jadeja ko bahar nikalo MC 

[nitinbwj]

SKY chewtiye.. Where is Bishnoi? 

[Lone Wolf]

Bishnoi dropped?   Kuldeep is playing...  Pecking order. 

 

Tilak playing as well.  Young batting line up. 

[vvvslaxman]

Very very few indian players have played 40 plus International matches combining world cup and world T20. Jadeja is one who has been part of multiple world cups. He is yet to win a single world cup. Picked 0 wickets in the world cup semi final and final. Here we are. He is getting ready for another world 20 screw up.

[Lone Wolf]

Fraudeja ...   Biggest running con job in ICT history.  Even Thala would be proud of his legacy.  

[Lone Wolf]

Parag,  Tewatia are leagues above T20 players than him.  Even young Abhishek Sharma has better upside than him.  At least guy has batswing & power. 

[singhvivek141]

Bishnoi not playing is bad, proper T20 bowler...very good fielder and a handy lower order batter who can hit sixes and boundaries .

Our no 8 to 11 are malnourished batters who won't even cross 30 yard circle. Add Jadeja who is anyway not a T20 batter.
