India's Tour to South Africa, 2013

[StriKe]

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has conveyed to the Indian team that it wishes to advance the two-day tour game in Benoni to Friday and Saturday, so that it doesn't clash with former president Nelson Mandela's funeral on Sunday. Saturday was originally supposed to be the first day of the match. The home board now awaits a no-objection nod from India before finalising the rescheduling. If India agree, they will now get a one-day break between the final ODI and the tour game.

After loosing test,series dhoni will say, we are learning and will get better only . And when did we get better after 8-0 drubbing??

I think he looks at only spin bowling as real bowling. So when he says there was nothing in it for bowlers, he meant the pitch was not spinning a mile for Raina and Jadeja

[CSK Fan]

What about spineless, defensive captaincy?

I think he looks at only spin bowling as real bowling. So when he says there was nothing in it for bowlers' date=' he meant the pitch was not spinning a mile for Raina and Jadeja[/quote'] That doesn't make sense, when he himself is a part-time fast bowler.

[CSK Fan]

That doesn't make sense' date=' when he himself is a part-time fast bowler.[/quote'] Still makes more sense than making Raina and Kohli bowl here and going with both Jadeja and Ashwin on SA wickets

Kohli is actually a seamer. So that kinda disproves the spinner theory.

What I mean is he is technically a seamer, because of his run-up.

If Dhoni want's to bowl part-timers, then he should bowl himself. He can't do any worse than them.

Yuvraj won't be back, and even if he is, he won't bowl.

[express bowling]

Our batsmen get full support from Dhoni. Our bowlers are the ones that require more support. So, it is better that he things they did a decent job.

[tweaker]

Why Dhoni is adamant on having 2 spinners irrespective of conditions.Why Dhoni does not use the idea of pinch hitter or sending Jadeja up the order.

[ThePhenomenal1]

There was something for the bowlers, dhoni just makes the worst excuses or statements sometimes. Or maybe thats the key: SA bowlers can EXTRACT something whereas ours can't or haven't been able to do so yet. Nothing will change unless we help our key bowlers.

Next 14 months will be fun. 14 tests for captain cool. All 14 of them overseas.. :yay:

Brilliant. No point going for specialist bowlers (5 of them!!) if you have Raina and Kohli completing quotas :facepalm:
