South Africa's tour of India - October/December 2015

On a side note Yuvi got a 187 in the Ranji game against Gujarat, on what is probably a good batting wicket, 4 100s in the 2 innings so far.

Faf Du Plessis is playing a 'funny' innings here. Some odd shots played by him for sure.

With a new squad to be selected after the 3rd ODI I find no harm in bringing in Yuvi instead of Raina if Raina does nothing special today.

Good comeback by India. Berhradin has Dhonied* it for SA.


*Dhoni (Dhonies or Dhonied) - The term for a six hit off the last ball of the innings or a match ending six.

Exactly a great way to tribute our Captain.

In all-rounder update, Rishi Dhawan picked up 3 wickets for HP against Hyderabad on a flat wicket (5 100s scored), and got a 100 himself in the second innings.

Clearly Binny is better than him

This chase is turning sour here ..

90 off 10, how have India gotten themselves into this soup?

 

[abhi_jacko]

Overdid the "keep wickets till the end" theory ..

 

[PokerAce]

Its all on Virat and Raina here. I don't see Rahane doing it. 12 runs per over not really his game and after that its the bowlers.

I am sure India is under pressure and lose Kohli's wicket soon. India gonna lose this match if VK fails to hit boundaries atleast 2 per over.[DOUBLEPOST=1445182639][/DOUBLEPOST]As expected VK is gone...

 

[abhi_jacko]

at this point, axar inspires ZERO confidence. Someone like jadeja would have provided with atleast an outside chance

 

[PokerAce]

I think India have still to come to find the way to play the extra 10 overs with the extra fielder in the final 10.

 

[surendar]

Rahane should come no4 & Dhoni should be at 5 if Kohli is going to continue at 3. Raina should go out, clearly he is lost about his own role in batting XI. SA deserved this win after dominating both the sessions.

India have to seriously look at the Jadeja option again ... Jadeja at 7 was an invaluable tool for India winning ODIs for so long. Or Better still try someone new. Ashwin is a big loss not just with the ball but with the bat too. He is good for 10-15 runs in a chase.
