Pagalpanti Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/556232.html?CMP=chrome India will travel to Johannesburg to play a one-off Twenty20 match against South Africa on March 30 at the Wanderers. The match, ESPNcricinfo has understood, was planned well in advance and agreed to by both Cricket South Africa and BCCI. It is likely to be called the Mandela Cup. Ratnakar Shetty, the BCCI chief administrative officer, confirmed the news and said India would send its first eleven to play the match. Such showpiece matches, CSA sources indicated, are going to be an annual affair. In 2011 South Africa played a Twenty20 against India at Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban as a farewell for Makhaya Ntini. The Twenty20 takes place three days after South Africa finish their tour of New Zealand with three back-to-back Tests. It is also a week after the end of the Asia Cup, and five days before the start of the IPL in Chennai. March 30 is also the day when the final of the MiWAY Cup, South Africa's domestic Twenty20 tournament, will be played. :facepalm:
Stuge Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 what is this ?? travel all the way to south africa to p[lay just one T20 :facepalm:
SLICKR392 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 For just 1 T20 ? And if they lose the 1 match, it becomes worse than the whole Aussie tour.
skindia Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 why only one?? play atleast two, 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening,
ganeshran Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Whats the point of touring just to play 1 T20 :facepalm:
saneindian Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Awesome from BCCI. Cancel the test series in SL and play a t20 in SA! Thats the way to develop a team. Expect to see more such surprises. Don;t be surprised in the NZ test series scheduled for Aug-Sep gets cancelled and we play some useless tri series somewhere.
