Batting, Bowling or Fielding : Which is the biggest concern for Team India ahead of the SA tour?

[Sidhoni]

Batting : The A team which has at least 4-5 batsmen likely to play in the series(Dhawan, Pujara, Rohit, Rahane, Vijay) collapsed in the second test to a little known Hendricks. What will they do against likes of Steyn, Morkel and Philander might just decide the series Bowling : We do have a decent bowling line up but barring Zak(who is not sure to go) everyone else among the fast bowlers will be on their first tour to South Africa with the national team. Spin bowling won't be as big a factor though we do have two good spinners in Ashwin and Jadeja. Ojha may also be picked as backup. Fielding : We have some very good fielders in Vijay, Kohli, Rohit, Rahane but is Ashwin good enough to be a long term slip fielding option in tests? And in any case, we saw many dropped catches against spin in the Aussies series so we do have to find a decent slip fielder apart from him.

:cantstop: low blow man low blow..... On the issue at hand, for me batting remains the biggest worry. Bowling wins you matches but batting IMO helps you draw them atleast.

[Detonator]

Neither. I guess selecting is even bigger concern.

I do understand I may be dreaming here but I think we will do well in all the three. Fielding is not so important in tests. catching is

Batting and 3rd seamer.

batting especially against the new ball batting against old ball is comparatively much easier so I'd go out the box and bat Pujara at 4 and Kohli at 4,so they can bat big and help us make big scores.Won;t happen though

Batting. If we can score 400 then bowlers will take care of the rest. In worst case, there will be draws. Most of our batsmen are untested in those conditions. So, if they fail, then we are gonna be whitewashed

Kohli at 5:--D

Playing old ball against steyn is equally tough tbh
