South Africa in India

Regarding the new ball attack, its got to be agarkar and pathan. just because these are the guys who have more chances of swinging the ball. RP is more of a hit the deck bowler and him being economical, he might be the ideal one as first change.
regarding the sub, its got to be yadav, who should he replace. Ideally it will be a batsman if India bats first. But think over it. Considering the amount of dew that could come play, its got to be a spinner who should be replaced. If India bowl first, use both Kartik and Bajji, and when its our turn to bat, replace RP with Yadav when batting. Bat first, bring in Yadav instead of Kartik(you can bring bajji first and gauge how effective kartik will be by the amount of spin and the dew before bringing in Yadav). That could make it four seamers and a spinner. With the dew, Yadav can be extremely effective with his wicket-to-wicket bowling. Ideal!

The winning streak etc etc doesnt work all the time. england won the ashes just before this tour ! inspite of that they lost the first test against pakistan.
india won the series 6-1 against SL but inspite of that they lost the first match against SA.

Hope India wins :upray :upray :upray today and pull of some effort. RP Singh replace Pathan As a matter of a fact RP Singh is an economical bowling. So he can open with Agarkar. Then later Pathan should come down as along with spinners whoever will come to attack.
Cmon India you can do it!

M Kartik, G Gambhir, S Santh, SK Raina, Jai P Yadav.
Gambhir is the super sub
Rahul Dravid chose to field first on his home ground as India looked to bounce back in the second game of the five-match series against South Africa. The pitch had a coarse look about it and there was a hint that it might assist the spinners throughout. Also, the dew factor may come into play later in the evening, a factor that could have influenced Dravid's decision at the toss.
India decided to go in with an unchanged side and batting second meant that they could utilise the services of Gautam Gambhir, the Supersub, if needed. It's was a special game for Sachin Tendulkar, who equaled Wasim Akram's record for 356 ODI caps, the most number by any player.
South Africa were forced to leave out Charl Langeveldt, owing was suffering from a sore back, and replaced him with Andrew Hall, the allrounder. Justin Ontong was retained as the Supersub. A loss here could be a priceless result for South Africa as only two sides in the history of one-day cricket have come back to win a five-match series after being 0-2 down. Victory here will also be special for another reason: they will equal Australia's record of going 21 successive games undefeated.

ha ha.. one defeat and you say pakistan is better than india? lets decide that next year when we come over to pakistan! but right now, that one defeat doesnt say anything abt who is in which place..
desi pitch? hyderabad was more closely familiar to the south africans with that early seam movement and assistance.

Out Gone!!!!!!!!! AB De Villers. By Pathan
Pathan is a strange bowler. When theres something in the wicket or if he swings it he is fantastic. If not hes very expensive.
3 huge wickets. A wicket in the first over is always huge, whoever it is. India just need to remember about Kemp etc. I am sure SA will pull back at some stage.
Go India.
