India's Tour to South Africa, 2013

[youngindia]

yuvraj has been looked strangely subdued and listless. if he has a problem elsewhere, he sould take a break for now.a senior guy like him is expected to shoulder heavy weight in a young team like this. he is failing most miserably in a manner not expected of him.something is certainly wrong. raina played a villain in the last match by those run outs.but he is generally positive.he has chance to prove himself here.

[Zanjeer]

I'm rooting for south Africa to be honest. I m sure dhoni doesn't give a damn about fans think and how hurt they are the way he treats fast bowlers.

[Pagalpanti]

Well only point of these games are practice now because no way are we gonna win on this pitch.

Abbey Chhup! Bachhon ki jaan lega kya?

[coffee_rules]

Ishallnot, Yadav replace Bhuvi, Mo Drop Yuvi for Rahane, And ask Dhoni to pad up earlier at #4.

[StriKe]

Raina,UV and Sir should fake injury and sit out

If we are to win anything this is as important. All our overseas wins have come at the back of good performances by our pacers.

true

Good tests these ODIS are for this team, if this team is for real they should face this challenge head on and triumph it. No more home track bullies, if they need to get rid of that tag they need to bounce back. Steyn or anyone they all are beatable.Let us not make this SA team as some juggernaut which cannot be beat. It is sixth ranked team who have history of choking.

Important is one thing. Pipe dream is another thing. it is very very unrealistic to expect our noob bowlers to get to the standard of Steyn, Morkel in a matter of one series. I mean we can more than match them in the spin department under right conditions. But if it is pace friendly conditions they will use it far better than us.

the indian team wont complain but that is not an odi pitch,will the saffers be pleased with a dustbowl in an odi? they need to keep these kind of pitches for test matches.

[SLICKR392]

Now they are bullying us. :whine:

agree. this sa team will fold just like everybody else but we need early wickets.

[cowboysfan]

i would drop ashwin or sir and play 4 fast bowlers,we need to go down swinging.

[Temujin Khaghan]

dear steyn, please kill jadeja, bhuvi, raina, yuvraj and mohit :two_thumbs_up:

[tweaker]

we should play Umesh Ishant Shami Mohit on this pitch

[vvvslaxman]

Good challenge for us. He is a GOAT. He can talk whatever he wants. If we pass the test it will augur well for our future. Hope our guys don't take too long to learn from their mistakes. We back you guys :cheer: Go get them. Bowling :(( I would like to be pleasantly surprised.

[Silva]

If we played ishant and yadav ahead of mohit and ashwin it would have been a different story. Ishant and yadav are better strike bowlers than bhuvenshwar. We don't have the depth to keep a guy with a strike rate of 33 on the bench regardless of you think about his hair.

[vvvslaxman]

I am afraid we have to play lambu here .. I would drop both spinners.

[adi B]

i think we will win tomorrow
