Indian tour of South Africa, December-January 2010/11

[AkshayS]

Where the hell are people who were arguing Sehwag will be the key. fearsome tweak.

 

[Ayub 95]

FFS where is UDRS. That was glove obviously

 

[AkshayS]

Haha, lifeline to Gambhir.
It was sure of the glove.

AkshayS added 2 Minutes and 41 Seconds later...

And he's really struggling against Morkel.

 

[Garson007]

Haha. Gambhir was never going to walk there. He knows how crucial it is to keep his wicket.

Interesting to see this centurion pitch having all this bounce this year i must say. Since last christmas when England played on this pitch is was a slow turning/sub continental type wicket.

India are lucky that Tsotobe is playing, may get some easy runs of him when the new ball pair iis off. If it was Fridel De Wet, McLaren or Craig Alexander coming on 1st change, things may have been different.

 

[Ayub 95]

McLaren is slower than Tsotobe

 

[relentless_rock]

Tht was a very poor shot by Sehwag. Him getting out early playing aggressive is not unusual but to a nothing shot is embarassing.
Hope he make remends for this by scoring big soon.

 

[War]

McLaren is slower than Tsotobe

Nah. McLaren is quicker, he is between 130-135 ks @ top pace. While Tsotobe barely clocks 125-130 ks @ top pace (maybe the odd ball slightly above that).

Is Fridel De Wet injured? I'm sure he would've done well bowling on this surface, and I'd expect him to be ahead of Tsotsobe in the pecking order.

Titans 71/3 (20.4 ov, CJ August 8*, PJ Malan 29*, F de Wet 1/19) | Live Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Currently playing in a FC match. But to be fair to Saffies selectors, its his 1st FC game this season coming back from the injury he suffered during the ENG series last winter.

So i dont know, if Tsotsobe as i expect struggles to back-up Steyn/Morkel effectively in this test. De Wet could come back in soon. But it may not be so straight forward since politics unfortunately does influence SA test selection still & Tsotsobe is very much another forced quota selection.

 

[AkshayS]

Gambhir gone, He just played it ████.
JKartik is going to be right I think.

 

[deepuparayil]

We are definitely screwed...

I think this innings gonna produce Sachin's 50th hundred

 

[AkshayS]

India screwed up, we just can't hope to win.

 

[Params7]

What is this madness

 

[deepuparayil]

One thing is sure Gambhir gonna be in poor form in these series,his technique is very bad for these pitches.
