Even though there was some ordinary batting, I will still take 140 in the end seeing the way the pitch has played. The first game, SA scored 133 and almost pulled it off (had Pak at 767-7). We have 3 full time spinners here, and two good part timers. We are in the game still. Its a 50-50 game from here (I would probably give it 54-46 in favor of India).
I am not happy with Pathan opening. Why not Kohli? He is a good enough guy to open. Anyway a No.3 role is akin to opening as when a wicket falls early, he goes in early. Still Pathan batted very well today for being the top scorer. Hope the spinners do the magic.
