SA v IND | 3rd ODI | Boland Park, Paarl | 21st December | Match Thread

[Nikhil_cric]

Rajat Patidar opened today? Why? He's not a long term ODI prospect with his 36 List A average and his age is 30.

BTW,i watched a funny match between Premium Windees and Premium Indians on fancode last night. There is an american league going on somewhere. Binny and Gayle are also playing. It was hilarious. PremiumPak as well

Pitch rigging masters. SA have masters in soil technology. Kya pitch hai yaar. Nice bounce in random spots. 

 

But if India do this, hey will cry for their mums. 

 

I will say it again, in SA for test matches you need tall bowlers. Pick prasidh and even harshit. Do not pick Mukesh trundler. Hell avesh over Mukesh. 

 

 

Even shami I would never play. He is injured anyway. I know shami has a good record in SA but I would only play him in general if he is supported by a tall bowler.

Real struggle to make 250+from here. They will again play overcautiously like the final. 

[Lone Wolf]

Beuran is bowling very tight lines unlike our Trundlers....  And Lizaad is easily quicker than all of our trundlers.   Burger is just a complete package...  This guy could hurt us big time in Test Series.

Squad has already been selected I guess and the management doesnt care about winning anything as long as the moolahs keep coming. 

[vvvslaxman]

As per Vernon pitch will get slower and slower and tough to bat. Probably need more part time spinners?

Patidar was looking supreme before that beauty of a ball...  Real bummed.  Was making room & hitting over the top. 

These jokers are cemented & can't ride bounce. 

Sehwag would cherish these conditions

Manager in an IT company.Mostly Windows Servers,HyperV's & datacenter support.Team works on Sundays too.Have to. but it pays well 

That's nice. Once you are in management it's pretty easy I guess. But long hours still suck.

 

I do work in an investment fund as a corp relationship specialist. We get good leave lol. 6 days mental health plus 12 days sick leave and 21 days annual.  But it's a lot of pressure. Not hard but you have to deal with lot of annoying clients.

 

I do need to do presentations and run workshops once a month. That can take some time to practice but not bad.

 

The portfolio analysts have it worse. Ha e to be on the screen for like 9 10 hours lpl.

Lizaad Williams getting more bounce than all Indian bowlers . Batters can't seem to score off either Lizaad or Beuran.  Bounce allied with tight lines.

Inspite of our insipid batting this william guy is almost going 6rpo… so dont hype him.Our batters are tuk tuk nothing special in bowling.

He played better than anyone in the team so far. Hussey also debut around 30.

Who will they pick him over though? 

Jansen?no

Rabada ? Definitely no

Ngidi? Yes I can see him replace him easy although ngidi is one of the main reason why we lost last time. 

Nortje  ? Injured as usual

Olivier? Gone to county and is slow

So I can see him play as the 4th bowler. Burger that is. 

 

Coetze vs burger is what it comes to. I would pick coetze over burger for now.

Why? Cause he is short

He gets hit. Burger gets hit too but he has a searing bouncer. 

 

In SA pitches favour tall bowlers. 

 

That's why even broad and Anderson did well here.

[harpicP]

Omg is prasidh picked or not???????????

All I see is bumrah siraj thakur and Mukesh kumar. 

 

 

Guess what burger is picked hahhaha

 

Rabada

Jansen

Coetze

Burger

 

We are stuffed now lol. 

[harpicP]

I believe prasidh will play but his name is not listed for tests???

Anyway this would be the team I guess

Bumrah

Prasidh

Siraj

Thakur

Washy? 

 

 

Vs 

Rabada

Ngidi

Burger

Coetze

Jansen

 

Coetze and jansen can bat. 

 

Bedingham is very good. Keegan is solid

This will be our toughest series in tests. Tougher than Australia as conditions don't suit us at all. We don't do well when there is movement. Our kryptonite is swing.

[Number]

KL Rahul pattern.

 

Aao 

Run Rate ki gaan maaro

50 karo

Chalte bano

[clownkiller]

f.cking rahul been watching too much Misbah tuk tuk on youtube...what a waste of talent 

[harpicP]

Kl Rahul

Remember that name. 

Name your child kl Rahul if you want the kid to be a loser. 

[vvvslaxman]

oh Rahul is still continuing his world cup final performance

Pecking order

Rabada

Jansen

Untouchable for tests

Coetze next

Ngidi

Nortje 

 

Coetze can bat and score 15 20 runs. So can Jansen. Can even score more. 

 

Then bench reserves they have

Burger who could debuted over coetze

Lizaad Williams he also bowls 135 to 140

Then we got sisanda magala

Sipamla

 

So there are 3 great bowlers. 2 very good talents. One potential to enter the fray. 

3 around average. 

Good rotation to have 6 to 7 bowlers to choose from for all formats.

That saf tail and lo is going to frustrate us even if we manage to get them 5-6 down cheaply.
