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

[Frustrated]

KL's classic 20 from 60 balls loading.  

[vvvslaxman]

Very tough conditions to bat on.

ball just rears off from good length. Plus movement. Pitch is quick too. So no reaction time.

They do have Patidar i think. Not sure why KL is playing. May be for Test practice.

Cause he is scared of bouncy pitch. In India itself he sometimes does the lungi dance vs pace and bounce. Here he will do the gang am style dance and get hurt. 

[Lord]

KL pisses me off so much 

[Number]

Watching KL bat is such a third degree torture. There is a 21 year old going at decent pace. Kuch to sharm kar.

[Frustrated]

This type of pitch will help us differentiate between a mediocre/overrated batter like Varma and a future legend like Sai.
