Vilander Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Sorry but how can anyone say anything other than this: GboozI39mxQ kp is so dominant...respect
Vilander Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Don't know y u acting like a chimp but didn't RSA almost lost their home series to us last time with our equally crap bowlers like Sreesanth etc our team was still good at that time..i think it is different now.
rahulrulezz Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 our team was still good at that time..i think it is different now. I agree with ya but our bowling even at that time wasn't excellent or outstanding still RSA almost lost the Ted series. I m just reminding Prenzo of that
Vivek.S.123 Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Shahid Afridi Kamran Akmal Umar Akmal Imran Nazir Imran Farhat Awais Zia Shahzaib Hasan Ahmed Shehzad All these dangerous batting legends will destroy Steyn
Muloghonto Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 If you mean by openers, we don't have any at the moment. Barring Sehwag having an amazing recovery, we should look for openers in the Akash Chopra mould for the Saffie tour- someone who can blunt the new ball, take the shine off of it and not expose our middle order too much. As such, what India needs, is two openers who can average 25 in South Africa at a strike rate of 25-30. That will be job well done in my books.

Someone who can stand outside the crease to kill the outswing can do well against steyn. Dinesh karthik did that both in England and SA.
Muloghonto Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Unfortunately for KKD, he is not tall enough like Matty hayden to negate the bounce of short pitched bowling by standing out of his crease. For, if you are going to stand outside your crease to negate the swing, you better be 6 feet tall or more, like KP or Hayden, to ride the bounce. Else, Steyn and Morkel will pitch it short and kill you.
Lord Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 KP's innings was good,but this was even better BV4VMrj2eOQ
G_B_ Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 that was on a pretty flat pitch though, that M clarke innings. australia in recent times have been playing their games on flattish pitches. that just makes india's 4-0 loss a whole lot worse.

G_B_ Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 flat pitch?next two team innings were 96 n 47:cantstop: oops i thought this was Australia's innings in australia when south africa visited. my mistake. should have watched the video rather than assuming :cantstop::cantstop:
vamos_rafa Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I think of th current batters, Sachin has does really well against Steyn and co. He has 4 centuries in 5 test matches I think since 2010. But what KP did that day was brutal.

But what KP did that day was brutal. Kp himself admitted that pitch was good Clarke played much much better innings imo on much tougher track
The Outsider Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Pietersen and Clarke's innings have been one offs. The way Sehwag has manhandled Steyn and the entire South African attack has no parallel. He has made a mincemeat out of their line up on multiple occasions.

vvvslaxman Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 all on pattas.was clueless when we toured there in 2010 So it is a stalemate. On patta he is the boss. On fast pitches steyn is the boss :cantstop: . Seriously.
The Outsider Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 all on pattas.was clueless when we toured there in 2010 Where did Pietersen score his runs? On the Moon? Clarke, yeah, because he did it again in the recent series.

Clarke was even more dominating in australia But his 150 odd in south africa imo tht inning was better then sachin's hunderds in south africa.. Brilliant attacking knock on such a tough track
