Hoping that Smith will declare some where around 450.

Lol.

 

[Adarsh]

This is why we need Zaheer. Ishant and Sreesanth are not strike bowlers in their own right. They need to back up someone else like Zak. Without him, there's no reliability. The attack really does look toothless. I wanna bat against these lot !

 

[deepuparayil]

What happened to the pitch?

Bounce is less for our bowlers.

Unadkat is just not good enough.His selection speaks a lot about the current lot of selectors led by Srikanth. Praveen kumar should have been on this tour.

 

[relentless_rock]

Undakat hasnt got any swing yet, not looked threatening at all, but Dhoni still persists with him. Impaired captaining IMO.

 

[jkartik]

never thought i'd say this but our bowlers look more threatening back home !!

and WTF were the selectors thinking about picking Unadkat ?
i admit, i havent seen him before in ranji and stuff, but this is sheer
military medium pace bowling without even a whiff of seam or swing.
might as well pick Irfan Pathan. atleast he knows how to swing and can
bat as well.

Couple of Analysis so Far :

- We Miss ZAK!

- Wasim Akram and the Selectors need to get their head examined with regards to Unadkat.

- Day 2 and 3 are always good for batting in most of the pitches.
Yesterday was Green, Overcast with Dale Steyn and Morkel.
Today, its nicely baked in the sunshine, Heavy Roller and of course
the toothless indian pace attack.

Result = SAF 1, IND = 0.

This is getting embarassing, 15 overs without a wicket.

Thats even more worse. PRAVEEN KUMAR???? He would have been worser. The thing is, without Zaheer playing, we are toothless. Thats why I am so livid with Zaheer playing meaningless ODI's against NZ when he could have avoided them and kept himself match fit for SA.

Thanks for the concern guys but I feel playing these odi's will help me stay match fit for the season

Praveen Kumar atleast has the ability to swing it both ways,Unadkat is neither moving the ball nor has any pace.

Ya, definitely the pitch.

Look at the bowlers. They are bowling 20k slower than DS and MM

 

[jkartik]

Make that 30k less for Unadkat.

 

[Varun]

With that bowling lineup, I don't think we will be able to grab a wicket soon, especially with two solid batsmen on the crease ATM.
Even if we get them both, we have Kallis, Amla and de Villiers waiting to pwn us.

 

[jkartik]

Those who think SAF will declare at 600 say "I" !
