South Africa vs India, 2nd ODI - Gqeberha (old Porth Elizabeth) - 19 Dec

[rollingstoned]

Sao sudharshan has the right technique to not nick off in SENA apart from also being a leftie which is a big plus. That 4 where he angled the bat and played with soft hands is a good eg.

Good to see 19,20 year olds playing with good technique even in their first tour of SA. It used to take several tours for young Indian batsmen to get used to these conditions back in the day.

Tilak Verma 6 off 20.

[rollingstoned]

Sai is proof that Indian think tank allows squads to stagnate rather than back the right players.

10 off 27. Tilak playing a good test innings. 

[srgadjon]

Sudarshan looks like an elegant, classy, touch player, similar to Ganguly. Rare to see batsmen like him these days when the emphasis is only on hitting the ball hard and T20 type improvisation 

[rollingstoned]

What is it tilak did to avg this high in list a? I had a feeling he came in too early today but that's because I've only seen him in T20s and nothing else.

Man I am impressed by Burger !

Looks a proper bowler , a future ATG in making?

How does Saf Keep on producing such fast bowlers ,they are truly the land of Pacers 

[rollingstoned]

If anything I feel he tries hitting on the up a bit too much which will be a problem only in Saf & Australia. 

[cowboysfan]

tough place to play ODIs,a real test for our young players.

[nitinbwj]

10 off 29....bhai kar kya raha hai Tilak. 

[nitinbwj]

hanging in there,ball is doing too much.

[Frustrated]

Tilak is not ready for any form of intl cricket.   Will take another 3-4 yrs min. 

[rageaddict]

What a loser knock by Verma.

[Austin 3:!6]

We need an ATG knock from Kaptaan Kela...like the one he played in WC finals exactly a month ago

[cowboysfan]

atleast he got a chance ,if he works on his game maybe he can come back.
