I reduced my work on this, cause i wanted to finsih this warm up soon, the main ODIs will contain better presentation than this.

Better than this? woow... Already the current presentation was amazing! Then i have to search new word in dictionary than amazing

Nice to see India's comfortable win! But in real life, its just the other way, i mean comfortable loss

Anyways Good Luck for India in main ODIs that counts! Hope to see nice fireworks from maestro Tendulkar:happy

Oh dont worry, it will be realistic for the ODIs, : remember i know the South African bowlers better. Tendulkar is the only worry.

India Vs South Africa

Welcome to Johannesburg for the first ODI match between India and South Africa.

Conditions

Pitch: Dry
Weather: Sunny
Temperature: Warm
Chance of Rain: None
Outfield: Quick
Playability: Its a great batting pitch. The winner of the toss had better bat first, score a huge total, and put the opposition under pressure.

Line ups

Toss

South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first. No mistake there, Smith knows the pitch as good as the back of his hand, and he might have already pulled the match a little to his side. India must hope for early wickets.

 

[plympilgrim]

lookin at the history it looks like the south africans are favourites

 

[madmick96]

[surendar]

My Prediction : SA win by 100+ runs! Sachin only man to get double digits

........(j/k)

Come'on India! :happy Voldy, u put lot of efforts in this... Amazing work

South Africa, 1st Innings

South Africa: 25/0
Overs: 10
Run Rate: 2.5
Last Wicket:

G Smith 14 (30)
L Bosman 8 (30)

I Pathan 0/10 in 5.0 Overs
M Patel 0/15 in 5.0 Overs

South Africa are off to a steady start. Hopefully the Indians can keep the field tight for the next 5 overs, as later on, they can set defensive fields to restrict the batsmen. The South Africans meanwhile have shown no mercy. A good example was the six off the first ball of the innings from Smith.

The scorecard

 

[plympilgrim]

come on smith, bat like you did for somerset in the 20/20 final
