South Africa in India

[0601731]

South Africa lost 1-0 the the last time they visited india,i think they ll find it even more difficult without pollock.None the less should be a good series.

Itinerary:

March 18 Arrival in Mumbai
March 20-22 India A, Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai
March 26-30 First Test, Chennai
April 3-7 Second Test, Ahmedabad
April 11-15 Third Test, Kanpur

No doubt that without Pollock it will be not easy to get wickets here in India but according to me, Dale Steyn will give more trouble to Indian batsmen . He is in top form .

 

[Dare]

yea but it will be the 1st time he really wont have conditions that favour him so it will be interesting to see how he does. talkin bout Steyn.

This will be an interesting series,hopefully its televised in New Zealand.

Dale Steyn will learn about international cricket once he comes here.

Cant wait for our batsmen to hammer SA attack. Historically Ntini has never done well here. Steyn was not as effective in Pakistan and also India has played Steyn in Ireland and SA so no problems.

SA will miss Nel. He was the guy who made 1-0 possible otherwise it would have been 2-0. Also Pollock had stangelhold on Indian top order. Good hes retired for our batsmen.

Best One: Our Coach will be Garry Kirsten. We will know what SA will be dishing out.

i agree,steyn is not in the same class as pollock.the south african will find it tough.

I'm also interested to see the Morkel (the bowling all-rounder) and their spinner (Paul Harris?). I think India might find it hard to compete in the fielding level and bowling would be even considering Zaheer is out. SA pace attack shouldn't be underestimated. India have the home advantage though and their batting is miles ahead.

March 20-22 India A, Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

I can see South Africa struggling in this tour match. With Chopra, Gambhir, Badrinath, Pujara, Kaif, Raina, Praveen Kumar, Sangwan...etc, it could be a massive test for the South Africans.

SA will not cook the same things that Kirsten knows about

Thats lot of guys from Ranji final. Yeah Mumbai is not happy hunting ground for any visiting team for prepration. Even Aussies loose there.

Zaheer would be back by then. Most SA bowlers need help in pitch to be effective. Therefore im least bothered about who will bowl.

bowling in india will be a true test for their fast bowlers and also batsmen.

 

[sohum]

This series is intersected by the summer season as well. Will be extremely hot and it will be interesting to see the fast bowlers performing in that weather.

 

[Leggie]

Yes, it will very interesting how to quickies cope under the hot weather, I'd expect them to bowl 5 over spells max.

I hate summers. Infact I hate north winters as well.

Playing cricket in summers is a big issue. I think they should start matches at 6:00 am and finish by 3:00 am. I can already see Ishant Sharma being carried off the pitch on stretcher and with a drip.
