Yudi: Well, Welcome to the First ODI of the Nashua Mobiles cup 2010, its South Africa VS India Here at Johannesburg. We have Surendar and Callum Gray with us in this show, Third Innings. Welcome Mates.
Now, lets go to Johannesburg and check out the weather condition at Wanderers with Yashwant Kumar.
Yashwanth Kumar: Well, the weather here is cool, the Rains are now off, we can see the clear sky cleanly. So there is no chance of rain here and we'll be able to witness all the 100 overs without any problems. Thank you.
Yudi: Well, we are to witness a 100 over game today, without any interruption. Now, Surendar, What would think off the Indian team in this series. No Dhoni, what you feel. Will Indians Work out??
Suren: Well, I feel even now, India is a strong side as the youngsters got some valuable practice at the MTN pro40 matches. Virender Sehwag is a good captain, but we'll miss Dhoni for sure. There is no doubt about it as his style of captaincy is totally different when we compare to others.
Yudi:Now CG, What you feel about Indian squad??
CG: Well, Indians will miss Dhoni for sure as I echo Suren. He has different style of captaincy, which no one in the world does. He changes the bowlers very accurately and yeah, Dhoni won't effect his batting even though, he's captain.
Yudi: Time for a short Break, when we come back, we'll have Toss, Line ups and live action from Johannesburg.

Yudi: Welcome Back to Third Innings. Now its BCVSTHEWORLD at the toss.
BCV: Good Afternoon Ladies and gentlemen, here we are at the toss of this first one Day International. The people at the center from my side are Mark Boucher, Captain, South Africa, Virender Sehwag, Captain, India and the match refree Chris Broad.
Boucher to spin, Dhoni to call.
Viru: Heads.
Chris Broad: Tails, it is.
BCV: Well Mark, what would you do?
Boucher: We'll defend the total. That means, we'll bat first.
BCV: Any specific reasons behind?
Boucher: The pitch looks excellent, so, I think its better to set a target and defend that.
BCV: What does your side comprise of?, I mean, who are playing, who are rested?
Boucher: Well, Puttick takes Greame's position, along with Gibbs at non strikers end, Followed by Kallis, then by me, and then, we have De Villiers, Amla and Albie to go in whatever position the situation favors and the tail enders of course are tail enders. We can't expect professional batting from them.
BCV: Good luck and thanks for the time mate.
Boucher: Cheers mate, Thanks.
BCV: Well, that was Mark Boucher, the South African Skipper. And Now, What about you Viru, what would you have chosen?
Viru: Well, I'd have chosen to bat first as we were pretty successful in defending the score here in the past.
BCV: Who's in, whos out?? Can we have some clean Idea?
Viru: Well, Gauti will not play this game and everything same as usual. I'll be opening with Sachin, followed by Virat Kohli, followed by Yuvi, followed by Rohit. Then we have KKD, Pathan and Zack to come at different positions as per the situation.
BCV: Thanks a lot for your time here. Good luck for the game.
Viru: Cheers mate
BCV: Well the News from the center is "South Africa has won the toss and decided to bat first.
Yudi: Well, the toss says, South Africa will Bat. What are your comments, Mr Callum??
CG: Well, its an excellent surface. So some score above 300 will be a tough fight. If South Africa fails to produce a score, above 270 or 280, they'll be in deep troubles.
Yudi: Now, here we have the players, who'll play:
South Africa
|
India
Andrew Puttick| Virender Sehwag (C)
Hershelle Gibbs| Sachin Tendulkar
Jacques Kallis| Virat Kohli
Mark Boucher (C)(WK)| Yuvraj Singh
AB De Villiers| Rohit Sharma
Hashim Amla| Dinesh Karthik (WK)
Albie Morkel| Irfan Pathan
Johan Botha| Zaheer Khan
L. Tsotsobe| Amit Mishra
Dale Steyn| Ashoke Dinda
Morne Morkel| Pragyan Ojha
Yudi: What you guys think off this line up?
Suren: Well, Indian bowling is weak. Ojha, Mishra, Dinda are youngsters and they don't have experience. Zaheer And Irfan have to lead the Indian Bowling right from the front. Part Timers like Viru, Rohit, Yuvraj can have a hand to help them. And as far as South African XI is seen, they have good lix of youth and experienced. Of Course, JP Duminy and Greame Smith are missing, still players like Boucher, Kallis, AB, Amla and Morkel can bat and even if Puttick and Gibbs fail, they can rescue the innings. But for Indians, After Dinesh Karthik, we've got a bowling all rounder and rest bowlers. If the top two of India fail in producing a good start, they'll be in deep deep troubles.
CG: I echo Suren. South African side is pretty strong when compared with India. But, its cricket. No one knows what would happpen. And on this venue, Bangladesh defeated West Indies in T20 World cup. So, lets wait and see.
Yudi: Well, today is the birthday of one of our PCtv Commentators. Its RAHULKHUSH. Lets all wish him a Happy Birthday.
Well, thats all from pre match Thrid Innings. We'll take a short commercial break and when we return, we'll have Binnu with total match report.
