Cellar Posted December 20, 2013 Share "Stereotyping all Indian batsmen as flat track bullies and overseas underachievers is kinda getting boring. This new batting line up has some new exciting talent. It's obvious that unlike previous touring generations, these boys play a more fearless and aggressive brand of cricket that is entrenched in greater self-belief. Let them build their own legacy. They are a skillful bunch with solid temperaments and they've just started ..." That was a fun day to watch. Game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGR Posted December 20, 2013 Share Where did it all go wrong? (besides Morkel) Spinners very poor and creating nothing? Middle order? Indians just playing out of their skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellar Posted December 20, 2013 Share To be fair India wasted time hoping for rain in the ODI. For sure, although I do think they just wanted to go home early for samoosa's and curry, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted December 20, 2013 Share The Vern - fastest SA bowler to 100 test wickets.One less than Steyn. Brilliant strike rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranswurm Posted December 21, 2013 Share Pujara is pure class, did all the hard work upfront and is now cashing in. Have to admit the obvious, Indian team is stronger now that the little genius is gone. Any chance you gautengers out there can go support the world's best two teams tomorrow. Crowd attendance has been embarrassing so far Unfortunately the fans are pissed off.The Indian authorities have shown scant respect for them and South African cricket.2 tests....what a farceAs far as the cricket goes we are down a strike bowler and the spinners are not tight enough to put the brakes on.We are getting thumpedThe next time they ask us to bail them out with their IPL event we should tell them sorry...

Shebeen Posted December 21, 2013 Share Well let's hope Vern or Dale slept well last night. All three results still possible, India are going to have to leave us a chance if they want to get the win. He was england coach at Lords in 2008 when they couldn't close out the match after a 350+ first innings lead.http://www.espncricinfo.com/engvrsa/engine/match/296909.html Unfortunately the fans are pissed off.The Indian authorities have shown scant respect for them and South African cricket.2 tests....what a farceAs far as the cricket goes we are down a strike bowler and the spinners are not tight enough to put the brakes on.We are getting thumpedThe next time they ask us to bail them out with their IPL event we should tell them sorry...I'm pissed off too, but unfortunately we weren't proactive in resolving the impasse ourselves. Avoiding the game as a sign of protest is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, surely that's not what has kept people away. What's the point of homeground advantage if you're only going to watch on dstv anyway?Indians ran away with day three, honours even before then - if no one pitches up today then it would add more weight to your reasoning.
