Expectation of SA Tour

[bhumika]

What are you expectations of the SA Tour ? I would be happy with 2 - 1 loss or a draw . you can call me pessimistic but considering the recent tours this is good. We need to win at least one match. No clean sweap :om:. You are expectations from the players if any ? I would want our openers to perform even if they can avg 35-40 at the end of test series it will be great. Dhawan looked against bouncers in mohali. I am expecting him and pujara to perform. I have a feeling dhoni might perform on this tour. Bowling I am expecting bhuvi and yadav to put a good show.

India to register its first ever test series win in SA :ohyeah:

[Vilander]

0-3 , ind will score between 30-150 runs in each innings.

[bhumika]

@just a fan Wish it too. But we dont have good bowlers who can run through amla to number 9 . All of them can bat.

[Small_town_boy]

India whitewash...and MOS philander...:p

[rkt.india]

3-0

[Vanarp22]

India to fail. We might win at most one match but our bowlers will be nowhere near the quality of Steyn, Morkel, Philander, etc. Also, it might be a good idea to try out some new bowlers because since we would lose anyway, we could put one of rasool, kaul, pandey, etc. in the squad and at least they should all be put on the A tour. Imagine what would happen if they actually performed, then they would be a fixture in the side hopefully at the expense of the "unlucky" bowler Ishant Sharma.

m confident about umesh doing well there B-> conditions will suit shami and bhuvi too but not sure how well they gonna utilise it

plenty of rain

[FischerTal]

2-1 most likely, unless openers give good start to build upon.

[Junyfan]

South Africa is very strong team,if they do not choke against the like of jadeja and Ishant no way India can draw or win a single test,

[JaFanatic]

plenty of rain

it wont rain no mercy for saffers this time

[namasteji1]

Series drawn 1-1

[FischerTal]

it wont rain no mercy for saffers this time

If Bhuvi can pick up early wickets, with Shami in tandem there is hope, just like how both operated on A tours.

South Africa is very strong team' date='if they do not choke against the like of jadeja and Ishant no way India can draw or win a single test,[/quote'] then how hell did india drew 1-1 against them just 2 years back and could have won 2-1

[Junyfan]

then how hell did india drew 1-1 against them just 2 years back and could have won 2-1

I am not saying they were not good but they were not ruthless enough to be beaten by an aging indian team,they are now quality and Quality but choking is not impossible.
