It should be releatively easier now as the shine is removed..
and normally when Bhajji connects he connects for a good 40+ personal score.. Zaheer and Ishant have the ability to hung around Sachin who is scoring at a good pace..
We will get close to their score.. and with Kallis not batting they wont get a big score.. Ayway Amla has scored his runs already.
Sehwag will get the runs flowing and we will win

One thing I have to agree with Plum. SA bowlers bowled better than Indians where conditions were little lesser bowler friendly. Indians have squandered the opportunity on the first day where the conditions were much better. Further I think Harris bowled better than Harbhajan so far. Even though Harris didn't get many wickets but he contained the Indian batsmen.

The January 4 Tendulkar-Harbhajan show
Exactly three years ago, to the day, in another city in the Southern Hemisphere, India found themselves in trouble. Then, in Sydney, Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh added 129 for the eighth wicket to take India past Australia's 463. Today, with four wickets gone for 43 runs, South Africa were into the tail and looking at a sizeable lead. Tendulkar and Harbhajan, however, repeated the rescue work from three years ago, to add 76 for the seventh wicket, and give India some control of the game.

"The first thing we need to do is make sure we have enough runs so that we don't lose the match," Dale Steyn said at the end of play on day three. "Then, we will think about setting a target."
The highest target chased successfully at Newlands was 331, which Australia managed in March 2002.
Kamaan get Amla and Kallis ASAP, we got a game on our hands ... we needed another spinner alongside Bajji, Viru wud have fit the bill perfectly!If the Australia chase is taken out of the equation, the next highest successfully chase is 211
, by South Africa against India in 2007. That bit of history may mean nothing now, because the India team on the current tour is more competitive away from home than the team from 2007. That may be why South Africa are talking more like they are prepared to play for a draw than a win.

What is the proof for this team being more competitive at abroad than previous teams? One series in SL and one in NZ against a bangaldeshesque NZ as compared to the shane bond NZ of Ganguly times. A bit like England hyping current Ashes victory when previous english teams had to reckon with mcgrath and Warne which the current team doesnt have to and infact, a good number of them flopped against mcg and warne 4 years baxk.
If india win this match, then we can talk about new look etc. That also luck plays a big part with bails not getting dislodged, out not being given etc.

Plum,
Forget SL and NZ series. Even in this series, after being thrashed in 4 days we came back in the second match in conditions more favourable to home team. And current match hungs in a perfect balance despite fiery SA bowling.
If you talk about luck, what about Laxman's dismissal? And for the nth time, Sachin was NOT OUT.

Plum,
I dont think we can compare the current Indian team and the previous version if Indian team - mainly because the crux has remained the same and the corners have been corrected well.
sachin, rahul, shewag , laxman remain in the batting line up while the opening partner of shewag has been far more potent than the previous teams'
Ganguly retired and we have dhoni as a captain.
Kumble retired and we have a much better pace bowling attack now with bhajji.
So this team is a polished version of the past team - idhu ennamo pudhusa kadaila irundhu vangitu vandha maadhiri pesureengalee?

We are winning this match.. Even if we lose there is absolutely nothing shame in it.. obviously there will be a few who try to paint a image like that. what else they can do?
Look at the series.. after 2 matches, and the end of the third day of the last test, the series still in balance..Itz a shame it is not a 5 natch series. Nobody can claim the dominance so far.. Both teams fought back and never allowed the other team to get far away. We need to keep in mind we are playing against South Africa in their own backyard..They are the current No.2 test team which has the best pace bowler in the world, in the seaming conditions. Everybody claimed this is the toughest test for India and India passed that test very well so far.

From: Plum on 5th January 2011 09:18 AM [Full View]
Even in last tour, the match was in balance until the 3rd innings and 211 was a decent target too. The kind of bowling attack we had was not comparable to this one, bar Kumble for Harbhajan. So, the attempts to paint that something better has been achieved this time is only acceptable if the win is actually secured. If the same result as 4 years back is achieved, on what basis will you claim superior captaincy, superior team spirit etc?
Why do people want to project that current team is better than 4 years ago - the core remains the same and personnel are better in other areas(openers and pacers). Why is the distinction being made in the first place?
If we lose, it is not a big shame right? So, why is the 4 years back team considered inferior to current one if the current one wins?

From: Plum on 5th January 2011 09:33 AM [Full View]
My(non-chatterjee) view:
This team still remains the seniors' team with Zaheer Khan the most influential junior(comparitively) - not Dhoni.
The best result for Dhoni fans now would be a failure to win the series now and a series win in the next SA tour with a team moulded by Dhoni. That will be indisputably Dhoni's achievement, wholly. I think this will happen. Perhaps, people like me need a jolt that not everything cannot be attributed to SRT, RSD, VVS, SCG and ARK, JGW - and maybe destiny still has this ace up its sleeves to serve on me.
A win now being attributed to better blah blah than the 2006 team is just not true.
We can say we have better openers but the truth is Jaffer hit a century - which neither of the openers have done yet in this series - and Karthik sparkled too as an opener in the last series. Karthik may be a lesser batsman than Sehwag but his performance 4 years back is >> what Sehwag has done this time. SRT did much better this time - and that is a huge difference. A series win now - which doesnt look likely to me - would be a completion of RSD's attempt as captain last time. There is not much difference in performance between the 2006 team and this one - and not much difference in personnel and spirit and ownership either. We'll probably lose or draw this series but that wont take away from anything.
What rankles me is the attempt to say that Dhoni as captain brings in a sense of security and calm that previous captains didnt. With those very same captains being part of this team, if this is true, instability should reign. SRT was a failure as captain, yes but with a team that Dhoni will struggle with, too - and we know Dhoni couldnt do much with just Zaheer missing in the first test. A good team carry a bad captain(Ponting?) but a good captain cannot carry a bad team. Dhoni is very good - a man for the times. He is very good with good teams, and that is a blessing for India currently.
Just as Ponting is not > Border just because Ponting has an insanely better record as captain statistically, same applies here also. In a way, Gavaskar and co. deserve credit, too for they were the ones who brought us from the Loss column to Draw column.

In bowling along with Zaheer all others made some impact especially Sreeshanth and Bhajji (ivanga rendu paerum success aanathu future la enthalavukku namakku negative impact nnu poaga poaga theriyumm. As of now good.).

Agreed that first test pitch was a flat one except the first day. SA in their first innings played like T20 towrds the end, that could have been avoided if Zaheer was present. I would say they could have got 550 only for that too they might have taken 10 more overs extra than what they did. Appadiyae kootti kazhichchu paartha kitta thatta draw panni irukkalaam.. Not necessarily though. Regarding Zaheer Khan it is not about how good he bowl always. It is about how his presence influences other, like how Sachin's presence influences others in batting.

News on Kallis for those who have been writing in: Since the injury that he has suffered is taken into account as an external blow that he suffered when he got hit on the side trying to sway away from a Sreesanth bouncer, there is no time constraint for him to come and bat. He may come and bat as soon as the next wicket falls.

Zaheer to de Villiers, out Bowled!! The round the wicket angle pays off for Zaheer, he bowled numerous deliveries from that angle, but brings this one back in towards de Villiers, he was prepared to leave the ball thinking it would go the other way, misread the delivery completely, the ball takes the toe of the bat and crashes onto the stumps, middle and off knocked out! de Villiers b Zaheer 13(58) [4s-1]

If India needs a win, Sehwag shd get at least 50(no need to say in his usual style). Saving the match is in the hands Laxman. Dravid and Tendulkar can provide some assistance in match draw.
-
From: hamid on 5th January 2011 09:04 PM [Full View]
winning i.e., scoring 340 on a single day(5th day track) against this attack is most likely, even with Sehwag..
We need to take it session by session.. the first session will be the most difficult.. once we cross that it should be relatively easy to handle..
We need to score off the bad deliveries and some good deliveries too.. we cant afford to allow their bowlers to get settled and set attacking fields all the time..
-
From: hamid on 5th January 2011 09:07 PM [Full View]
SA played some boring but effective cricket ( similar to Kallis batting).. not declaring with 300 on the board and not taking the initiative to get more runs show how much they worried about India coming back and winning...

I was talking to Maddy about this quite sometime ago. When things doesn't go our way, Dhoni simply switches himself off and goes on back foot. Compare this to his captaincy in BG Trophy 2008, when Aus top order was running away with the match, he set 8-1 fields and strangled run scoring. Originally Posted by directhit

Voucher(Thanks MC) 55 - He was so OUT OF FORM till now.
Steyn 32 ; Morkel - 28 (Bowlers hitting 60 runs).
There goes the extra 100 runs.
Marundhukku kooda oru bowlerum yorker podaradhilla. On a final day a target of 270-280 itself is tricky against Steyn/morkel but we have 340 which is just impossible.
At 7/233 we should have routed them for an extra 20-30 runs. This is quite out of our hand. We have to play with our necks out even to DRAW this game.

As for durbhajan, ivaru mattum enna paNNikitturundhaar. Does he have imagination, brains to blame the pacers. Even marcus north got 5 wickets and scored a couple of centuries but didnt do enough in those matches for australia. These guys are good at once n'a while efforts that too not match winning.

Why Vijay? He is a proven failure in ODi's right? Now what if Sehwag is injured for the world cup? Will they bring in a new opener for the world cup - since vijay is going to fail in SA, he'll be out of contention for WC. Why not try Kohli or someone who is sure to be in the WC squad as opener! Atleast you'll be sure he'll be in the squad to backup if Viru fails to make it.
Vijay is a waste of space. IpdiyE pOnA, ODI WC doesnt seem like a possibility for India.
And looking at the schedule
Feb-Mar - World cup
Apr - may - ipl
June - wi tour
July-aug - eng tour
One player who will be expected to be in all of these is dhoni - and peraps Tendul. Avainga manushanA machienA? BCCi schedulers

As I said, nothing has changed from the previous tour
Four years ago, when India came to Cape Town, they went in to lunch on fourth day with two second-innings wickets down and a lead of 114 in the bag. The next two sessions featured confused cricket, and India lost the series there. Here, too, going into lunch India had South Africa effectively at 119 for 5, soon to be 130 for 6. But the rest of the day almost played India out of the Test. Now it's up to the Indian batsmen to put in yet another special show to prevent a repeat

Seems Gambhir will open the innings .. good sign.
No early start : another good sign.
Will 90 overs be possible? any No. of overs with the second new ball is going to be of high drama.. This match is going to go down till the last over possible.. and will be a testing day for our batsman..will be very difficult to save on this pitch against this attack.. fascinating contest on the cards. If India can save it is a great achievement...
the chances are very less.. but I still believe they can..

****Just missu
Good move by Smith. Sehwag needs to get into his loose thinking mode. And the sight of Tsotobe might lull him into insecurityTsotsobe to Sehwag, FOUR, 130.0 kph, Dropped by Duminy. Not an easy chance but should have been taken at this level. It was short and wide, Sehwag went for the horizontal cut shot. Duminy, standing at a deeper position than normal, hopped and lunged to his left with both hands but couldn't hold on. He should have taken it.

Sehwag dismissal paarkala.. People told it is off a clear no ball and no foot is behind the line..even the foot touching the line is on the air while the ball is delivered. Originally Posted by littlemaster1982

saw the four.. it was a clear four.. The fielder is in clear contact with the ropes when he stops the ball..[but this doesnt matter much in the outcome]

flawless batting - agreed. but that yields what? we have such world class batsmen. so, their so far in-depth experience helps to draw the match that too with the scoring run rate of 1.96! Unable to digest! when are we going to raise our standards in keeping a high scoring rate in second innings especially in such competitive targets irrespective of the results whether draw or win. If draw is our main intention, then we would have very well dragged our first innings to 3 days right! Both teams and the viewers expected a result till the end of 4 days. but final day the winning spirit gave up! Originally Posted by lawmani

IMO, Dhoni looks to be a better much better captain than Dravid & Ganguly. But, after reducing SA to 130/6, we should have won it. Both the bowlers and Dhoni are responsible for it.
I don't mind Dhoni using defensive tactics sometimes, but overdoing it even it is ineffective is what baffles me.

As vivs said, the burden of proof onm what dhoni did special to change the result lies with you. Failing tha, the obvious reasons are individual performances.
So, you are saying at 131/6, dhoni decided that draw is the vonly possibility, and spread the field so that kallis can score freely and planned that last day will be batted out. Again chippA illai?
At 131/6, the captain is expected to seize the game not let it drift. Idhai epdi defend pandringa? Oru nermai vEnAvA?

If great individual performances were not enough last time, but they were this time the implication is that last time's'indiv effort fell short while this time's'effort went through. If Dhoni had executed great bowling plans, then avarukku credit kduukkalaam. Fact is he has come across as tactically wanting, and Zaheer has definitely shown that he makes a difference to bowling tactics and on field management of Sree and Ishant. Ofcourse, he failed in cape town but without zah, dhoni cozldnt even devise decent plans. And inexplicably, he let things drift yesterday. Idhu ellaam clear failures which could have cost us if the batting had collapsed.

no but when boucher/kallis began to turn it on, it was good for him to plug the leaks and ensure a draw atleast instead letting SA score quickly and start batting at second session of day4 only.........i think he knew the best, being on field and being the keeper to see whether bowlers had zip or not.........it was evident that sree and zak were not doing much with new ball either - so he was right.....

From: Plum on 6th January 2011 09:28 PM [Full View]
Is there a case for this team being better than 2006? Yes, there is
pluses - SRT played better, Bowling was better slightly - last time Zah was a player, this time he is literally bowling coaxh also, a role none of dhoni fans credit him for, santh did almost same,slightly better he was last time; ishant was defly better tha vrv - vrv went for 6rpo while defending 211
Lax was much better
Gautam was a huge difference
Negatives
Karthik/jaffer actually did better than Sehwag this time
Spinner - although he took 7 wickets, the last 3 were tail end wickets after tailenders smote bhajji for lot of runs; he failed to show imagination when Kallis employed reverse sweep. Net net, that is debit for me.
Both times, we let histoeric opportunities to win the series go.
See the similarity - we bowled well upto the last bowling innings and gave it away in the last bowling innings
What was the difference? In the last batting innings, we collapsed last time but didnt this time. Clearly, this was the difference between loss and draw. So, how does dhoni get credit for this?

Maddy, celebrate by all means. Credit dhoni for you are his fan. But do try to understand the difference between last time and this time - a collapse in the last batting innings. Otherwise it is quite similar in terms of opportunities got and opportunities wasted.
IngE dhaan criticising dravid but praising dhoni udhaikkudhu - really, how can a batting collapse be the difference between praise and beration?

Plum, there is 1 difference between 2006 and 2010. This series we came back from 0-1. And the loss, I consider, was largely because of the toss!
In 2006 all we had to do was draw 2 tests and we failed.

If you simply compare Dhoni and Dravid only based on the performances in SA in 2006 and now, i would say there aren't noticeable differences between the two as far as onfield captaincy is concerned.
Saying Dhoni is a better captain than Dravid only based on the final scoreline isn't acceptable IMO.

1. which is better team? - Of course, the current one - Vivs already explained the reasons for this..
2. Dhoni's captaincy - though he is successful, slowly he is also becoming a defensive captain. I wish he tries to win every much and show that he is still aggressive. On 4th day, he was disappointing as a captain. Even his claim on giving Raina 7 overs just to improve the over rate irrespective of giving 70 odd runs does NOT sound good from a successful captain. he could have easily tried for some other option..

The reason for the draw is our performance on the field on 4th day. They shoud have done better atleast after getting the wicket of Boucher

You shld know that nothing is happening for him in that pitch so try something different... This is where MSD is different... summa he did not press on with Zaheer or Sree... He just played the waiting game... and mind you Zaheer was bowling at 114 kmph and you want MSD to attack??

From: Kalyasi on 6th January 2011 10:59 PM [Full View]
Main reason for SA losing their wickets was poor shot selaction by their batsmen... when the pitch had something for the spinners you should always look to play forward... not a sweep shot like what Amla did and not going on the backfoot and defending like peterson... after that they played positively coming forward.... This is what MSD observed... LM when you have taken so much effort to come to number 1, you must first secure it... What would have happened if we had lost the series... all so called pundits like Ian Chappel, Darren Gough... etc would have bashed India as home turf Champs... MSD did not let that happen...
For the matter of fact would you blame Smith for picking up only 3 wickets in the entire day on a 5th day crumbling wicket... It means our batsmen played well and nothing was happening for their bowlers... Smith had 340 runs behind him to attack... as simple as that...

Dhoni upbeat despite missed opportunity
Unless the new FTP throws up another tour to South Africa very soon, or India discover three middle-order batsmen as good as Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid, this tour could well be their best chance to win a series in South Africa for the foreseeable future. It is a chance they missed out on after having fought hard to come back in Durban, and, more importantly, having attained a dominant position in Cape Town. Yet MS Dhoni, while conceding this was a really good chance of registering that elusive series win, said he wasn't bitterly disappointed.
"We were in a position where we could have done something really special," Dhoni said. "It could have been the first day of the first Test or yesterday where if we had got one more wicket quickly, it would have looked really different. There might have been a stiff target to chase, but we would have fancied our chances. It wouldn't have been really boring. Everyone tries to give his best, but at times things like these happen."
Dhoni said if the side had applied itself a little better in Centurion, where they disintegrated on a damp pitch, the series would have looked completely different. "We were always confident about doing well. What was important was to get outplayed rather than play bad cricket as a team. Bad start; could have applied ourselves better and got 50-60 more. But apart from that, we said to ourselves we should take care of the small things. That's what we did as a team. It is a very special series; we saw plenty of good performances from individuals in both the batting and bowling departments."
About letting the game slip away on the fourth day, Dhoni said he was disappointed on two counts: the partnership between Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher, and then the extra runs that the tail added. "We were in a position where we could have been chasing 260-270 if we had got that extra wicket, but were not able to. Kallis batted really well with Boucher, and then [Dale] Steyn also scored runs, which meant we had to chase more than 300, which is very difficult."
The positive, he said, was the mental strength the side showed when it was down and written off. "We can still come back if we are 0-1 down in the series. The catching was brilliant throughout ... The fielding standard was quite good. But plenty to improve. Trying to improve in every game as a team."
Dhoni was happy with the fast bowling, but said they still could improve with the old ball when reverse-swing is not available. "Most of our fast bowlers are skill-oriented, rely on swing. It's not always with pace that we get batsmen out. They did a good job with the new ball, but we need to slightly improve after 40 overs especially with Kookaburra because there is no reverse. Interesting learning experience for our young bowlers. Overall, their performance was good."
This could also be India's last Test with Gary Kirsten as their coach, and Dhoni made his appreciation for the former South Africa opener very clear. "I wanted to Gary to do this press conference, but it seems to have slipped out of his mind. He has gone back home. He is getting old.
"We have had some fantastic times with him. He was one guy who didn't know much about Indian cricket as far as the dressing room is concerned. Most of the players have that aura. It is very difficult to come with a fixed mind. He came in with no plans; he came to see what individuals do and then made a plan, which worked for us. We were very free under him. Most of the credit should go to him also. Especially when being an India coach, all the media glare is on you.
"One of the great things that happened to Indian cricket. I don't know if this is his last Test as India coach but every member loves him and acknowledges and respects the amount of time and devotion that he has given Indian cricket."

Defensive is a relative term... Intha video highlights a paathuttu sollunga, to the tailenders was the field set defensive?
What will MSD do if the bowlers didn't respond...

The bowling unit's reliance on Zaheer - not necessarily for wickets, but also for the leadership - is a bit of a concern, but Dhoni chose to look at the positives. "The youngsters are getting groomed under Zaheer," he said. "Of course, it's the coach's job to groom all the players but when you have someone like Zaheer it reduces the coach's workload by 50%. Also Zaheer is very good under pressure. He doesn't panic in tough situations, and he convinces bowlers about the fields they should set and the lines and lengths they should bowl."

The biggest differences between losing in last time (06) and drawdng the series this time(10) were a couple of guys.
1. Laxman - Bailed out India with his 96 in the second test.
2. Zaheer/Sreesanth in the second test. Zaheer's presence really helped us. Bhajji did good with his 4 wickets in the first Innings and that catch. Sreesanth's ripper of a delivery helped us win the second test quite literally.
3. Gambhir's knocks in both the innings(3rd test) must be applauded. He just grinded them out.
4. Tendulkar in the first Innings of the third test. That 146 against such hostile attack with bowler friendly conditions. I wish Bhajji had more support in the second innings of the third test.
Tendulkar didn't do well last time(2006) or should i say not upto his standards list time. He got a couple of 50's but more was expected of him. This was quite a reason why we didn't even draw the series last time but not the only reason.
Some failures in this series were Dravid and Shewag. I hate to write this but I wish Dravid has a better 2011. Shewag is a kind of player whom we always have to depend upon for his good starts. He finishes half the match if he has a fast 50 or a long standing 100. Once he gets a 100 its mostly a high score. He sets the tone for the rest of the batsmen to follow. And that is always important. For folks comparing Richards and Shewag here is your answer. Nobody could even possibly dominate Richards. It's always the other way around. Ishanth Sharma is another crack job. First Mudiyae vettitu olunga ball poda kathukoda dawg. Pujara thambi can be granted some slack as this is his first away series.
P.S: I am not talking about the first test because we lost it.

Zaheer deserves the rap for his poor bowlng yesterday. Yaaru illainA? It also shows the individual and tactical dependency on him.
Again, I simply said Dhoni didnt do anything to "ensure" draw that dravid didnt. Batting orderlaam oru reasonA? Idhellaam hindsight reasons. Appo next time dhoni makes an out of the box batting order change, and it works, dont claim credit. Dhoni promoted pujara and it worked for him in bangalore. Dravid promoted viru who had done well in the first inns and it didnt work. Idhu luck illainu sonnA epdi? srikanth promoted chetan sharma and chetan scored a century. These things are intiution and work sometimes, not work other times. These cannot make or break a captain
What certainbly is atteributable is on field tactics. Adhai thaan ninga dhoni vENumnE 340 koduththu SA inningsai neetti plan panni draw pannittarunnu solringa. Idhai poi parappunga - dhoni reputation automaticA sariyum. Nobody in their right senses would claim tis as a chanakyan tactic. En, innikku kaarthalaiyum aada vutturukka vendiyadhu dhaane? We would have had to bat less than 80 overs then - draw more assured?
He lost control and batting didnt collapse. Ivlo dhaan nadandadhu. IdhaiyE tacticnu solli poosi mozhugiringale - nejamaavE tactical thillalangadi velai pannumbodhu enna solveengalo?
Of all the arguments, this is the most ingenuous credit-taking genius argument i have found

Another big chappaikattu:
"Because he attacked in centurion, sa scored high so he went defensive in cape town"
What a complete misrepresentation of facts!
He was equally defensive in centurion - nothing like he brought the field up and the batsmen cashed. He had the same defensive fields, the batsmen milked the bowling thanks to pressure releasing fields and after 1.5 days of batting, simply annihilated them. The pitch and lack of Zaheer khan were mitigating reasons so nothing much to blame dhoni there but adhaiyum oru positiveA epdi convert paNdringa? Building ingenuous arguments in retrospectla amazing you guys are
Enough wide proof from previous series has been given to show that he has been defensive all through and this has been costing us. AdhaiyE oru virtuevA mAthi, or alternatively, evidenceE illAma, attacking captaincy in centurionnu solla ungalaala dhaan mudiyum

Again, one more reminder. If you want to evaluate strictly by results, Ricky Ponting is the greatest captain ever
Andha percentage even Dhoni is not going to beat given that he has had to grapple with india's just-now-improving team for long so it is impossible for Dhoni to match Ponting statistically. AdhukAga Ponting is better than DhoniyA? Idhai nAnE oththukka mAttEn

He started Day 4 with Harbajan... athu tactic illaya... He could have started with seamers allowing their batsmen to get settled... He didn't do that, whenever there was an opportunity(new batsman in the crease) he brought on Harbhajan....
And what is a defensive field, what is an attacking field??
To me having men in catching position is an attacking field.... Mid on, Long on doesn't make any difference to me... In pursuit of going for a single they might edge one or two... So long on vechu, having ppl close in is a good tactic.. It didn't work out, avvalo thaan... I dont know about the pundits... they might have a different opinion, but I dont care...

I think MSD being a good captain is already established. There are several examples where he has come up with a tactic that has helped his team win.
If anyone was watching the test match closely and understands a bit of hindi, you would concede that MS is an awesome tactical captain. Sample proof: Steyn wicket. First innings. Heard MS yelling to zak "udhar se dal sakta hai" meaning bowl from around the wicket.
Love watching MSD lead this team on the field.
It seems unfair to blame MS (his captaincy) for not winning the Cape Town test.
As far as this series goes, the only thing you can criticize about MSD's captaincy - losing the toss at Centurian

What about alternative plans? I don't remember Dhoni doing anything different when Kallis was building partnerships with Boucher, Steyn etc. How is it relevant to talk about fields in second test? For the record, Dhoni gets the credit for winning the second match, though Zaheer played a big role in it.Zaheer bowling under 120/ Fineleg - midwicket illamaye Ishant straying on to the legs continously (no balls vera) plus the growing threat of slow over rate.. only threatening bowlers being Sree and Bajji.

Your criticism comes in here. You say as soon as 6 wickets were down, MS and India should have kept on attacking. Valid point. But the target India would have had in mind (my guess) was to chase <250. So a classic case of tactics Vs strategy. But after having seen SA get just 3 wickets on day 5 in 82 overs, you (meaning at least I) will have to give it to MS.

LM/Plum, I wanna understand something clearly.
I thought that our bowlers were unable to take wickets but are you guys insisting that it was only due to the defensive field setting?
-
From: Plum on 7th January 2011 09:02 AM [Full View]
AF, No.
ivLO nAn explain paNnadhula, the most sensible question has come from a Dhoni critic
What I am saying is Dhoni slipped there - even if he attacked at 131/6, would he have got them all out for less than 250. I can't predict that, can I? For all I know, they might have gone on to score big.
But the point is this - and people like Panicker have explained it lucidly for people who are not blinded by adulation to understand - Kallis hit one 4, and Dhoni/Harbhajan immediately pushed a fielder back. That is bad captaincy. Knee-Jerk reactionmbAingaLE...
And after that, Dhoni was following the ball. Kallis was literally playing with Dhoni and Bhajji's minds - he hit a four to fine leg. There goes a deep fine leg. Reverse sweep for 4. Deep fielder fine offside. The fielder kept going wherever Kallis hit a 4. This was definitely a poor effort from the captain. Knowing Harbhajan, and his dislike for giving boundaries, it might be Harbhajan who demanded the defensive field but who is the captain? Who decides?
And clearly, follow the ball captaincy has been Dhoni's achilles heel consistently as the Samaraweerar example quoted by panicker shows. This is tactical ineptness. Which is fine - he is learning and hopefully will correct it but summA idhaiyE plate-ai mAththi through empty platitudes, trying to paint a picture that previous indian captains were inept and Dhoni's result proves he is a cut higher-nu solrachE obviously one has to point out these things. Dhoni has made mistakes like past captains but his batting stalwarts saved him - why that didnt happen to Dravid? What would you say? Would you say Dravid demotivated his batting unit and Dhoni motivated SRT, Gauti etc? Isnt that laughable?
And people are claiming that suddenly at 131/6, Dhoni got geethobadesam or gnanodayam that indian attack is not good enough to take the remaining 4 wickets and cannily opted and CHOSE a draw at that point. As in, Dhoni controlled the match throughout and deliberately prolonged SA innings-nu. How laughbale is that?

You are ignoring the finer points - which is that Dhoni gave up very early. That is uncannily poor captaincy. What did the alternative strategy achieve? They still scored 290 runs in the day - which is pretty significant. At no stage in the day that they were choked for runs and had to prolong their innings to increase the run rate. They prolonged their innings because Smith is a defensive captain himself. What you are claiming is Dhoni choked the runs with his defensive tactics? Surely not?
If you are saying MSD realised that it wasnt possible to take 10 wickets of SA, why were the fields attacking till 6 wickets fell down? epdinga - Kishnar vandhu geethopadesam paNNArA at 131/6?

Disclaimer: I didn't watch the 4th and 5th day due to my time zone and I was too tired to wake up till 4 in the morning.
Understood. Chaos theory applied
Ok. I understand your POV but lets cut some slack for Dhoni because he just sets the field as per bowler's request. I would like to know what was the field setting for the other end batsmen or was this approach only limited to Kallis?. My intuition is I want to blame only the bowlers more because if you are not capable of taking final 4 wickets then we don't have good bowlers. Originally Posted by Plum
Plus I am inclined to the old adage "One cannot set field to bad bowling". and i believe this has what happened wrt to the final phases of our 2nd innings bowling.
On a case by case basis this team is much better settled compared to the previous one. Let's stick with that. We have a settled opening pair, stronger middle order(of our times even in World cricket) and the best bowling unit that was ever available to Indians. I have said that in my earlier post. The main result for our draw is the improved batting/bowling performance from last year. Tendulkar's form helped us save the 3rd test. Laxman 96 got us a win with support from our bowlers.

Plum,
1. Not setting an attacking (close-in catching) field is not the same as being defensive.
2. MSD/India was/were not defensive. Meaning our primary goal was not to suffocate SA. If that was the case, we could have bowled negative lines (for e.g. all bowlers bowling from around the wicket with a leg-side field or vice-versa)
3. Our primary goal was to take 10 SA wickets which we did achieve. In the process we wanted to restrict them as well. Hence we didn't opt for all out attack.
Are we getting somewhere with this? Am I making more sense or this is just arachamavaye araching?

Plum.. didnt want to enter this ugly fight which of course is mainly because of you.. you wanted this and ignited this and now enjoying this.. so sadistic and irritational.ivLO nAn explain paNnadhula, the most sensible question has come from a Dhoni critic
and your branding of dhoni fans, dhoni critic etc is highly condemnable.. who the hell are you to decide which is the right argument which is the wrong argument? why are you always judgemental?
Mods, are these agreeable??? personal attacks, indirect provocations, indirectly branding section of people as stupids, under the cover of chatterjee and throwing mud at those whom he dislikes?
Plum, with due respect to you, If your posts prove anything it only exposes your dhoni hatred...and your posts during the match are .."dei yaaraavathu vaangada" only.. and what is the need for that post after the second test victory? it shows your intents clearly.. You desperately wanted India to lose that match.. and it didnt happen.. so, your post is to somehow get some people say anything against it and to step on it to spoil the party.
I can say many such.. you are the one who went on the line of argument.. if this team gets any result better than the previous then we can talk/accept.. [you expected India to lose at that stage]you dragged people to that point.. and you conviniently changed that argument now..
ah.. Plum.. please stop all these.. If your posts are not here, this would have been a lot lot better place..

If we (with MSD as captain and the same bowling attack) allow this (131/6 to 341) to happen say 3 or 4 times, then you may criticize the captain (MS). I don't think there is any history to this.
Or there should have been a tactical blunder like under bowling Harby by giving the seamers extended spell on such a track.
It seems unfair to criticize MS, totally unfair. On top of all this lets give some credit to SA batsmen for fighting it out as has been already pointed out by Sathya.

LM, for the record I do blame (munnave post pannitten) both the bowler and MS (more out of desperateness) for the draw in third test. But I honestly do not think we could have done any better with a different fields (pure speculation but i got more confirmation seeing how SA bowled on the 5th day) Originally Posted by littlemaster1982
curious, eppadi Zaheer palyed a big role solreenga? What about Sreesanth? Sachin? Or are you referring to our bowlers being happy with Zaheer's return and bowling better? In that case Zaheer was in third test also vaache? We won in NZ w/o Zaheer also.. Originally Posted by littlemaster1982

If he loses a series because of his tactics, adhaiyum solvEn. If he loses the series because his inept batsmen collapsed - T20WC etc-la MaddyE Dhoniya blame paNNAr for things beyond Dhoni's control - Dhoniya blame paNNa mAttEn. Originally Posted by Kalyasi
Opportunities squandered in last few years
1) Sydney 2004 - Pucknor was one major reason for the draw instead of win but still it was ok, umpiring mistakes do happen and it wasnt a huge deal breaker. Ganguly might have been defensive in batting until 3rd day morning for 705. Touch and go - but overall defensive strategy from Ganguly
2) SA 2006 - a batting collapse undermined Dravid's efforts. As this series showed, 1-1 is a decent result coming into the 3rd match. And that is where the comparison stops. Dravid didnt do anything untoward that caused the series loss. If the batting collapses, even Dhoni's team will lose.
3) Sydney 2008 - Bucknor, and the third umpire. Period. Ponting and his shenaignans. This was a series we could have won 2-1 but for the extra-ordinarly poor(biased) umpiring. 50 varushamA Australiala win paNNAdha team-ai, ipdi ellAm 14 players vechukittu attack paNNadhukku, andha tourla namma 2-1 vandhadhu was an excellent result, better than the current series draw because that was a frigging aussie team with 16 wins on the trot - an all time great team. indha mAdhiri ellAM umpiring irundhirundhA, even Dhoni cannot overcome. We infact had SA commentators fuming this time with umpiring decisions going in our favour. We did well to utilise those favours, too. Aus 2008 is a good example of even a tiny bit of luck might have helped Kumble make history. The way he led that team to Perth and turned the tables on one of the greatest all time teams - now, that is leadership. Equal to any leadership achievement of Dhoni so far.
4) Sri Lanka 2009 - again, opportunity squandered. Batsmen to blame in the match we lost, and although Dhoni resorted to defensive captaincy from 97/7 tp 260+, we actually won that match so the defensive captaincy did not have an impact on the result of the series. Batsmen to blame for not winning the series instead of drawing.

Dravid is not a great captain.

also you create something, interpret it and conclude it..

The bowling attack looked more potent when Zaheer leads it. Sreesanth took key wickets and other bowlers chipped in, and I don't discredit their efforts. But you can't deny that Zaheer adds so much to the bowling attack when leads from the front. On 4th day, Zaheer was off color and it showed in the approach of whole bowling unit. We won in NZ without Zaheer Originally Posted by directhit
I remember him playing the test which we won. Anyway, that's a different series and bowlers' form was different.

Very Good post Plum.
1. Sydney 2004 : Steve Waugh was quite plum but blind bucknor didn't give out to Kumble. He was finally out on 80 but by the time it was too late. Kumble trapped him much before. We could have won that match. Ironically he(Bucknor) has been doing to India for quite some time and we realized it only in 2007 Tour.
2. SA 2006: Tendulkar's poor form returning from injury was quite a reason. Incidentally that was the only SA Tour in which he didn't score a 100.
3. Aus 2008: Yes Sydney was a major embarrasment. Ironically it should be us who should have won the first series win in Aus in 03 and 07 but it went to SA in 08/09 and now England.

2) SA 2006 - a batting collapse undermined Dravid's efforts. As this series showed, 1-1 is a decent result coming into the 3rd match. And that is where the comparison stops. Dravid didnt do anything untoward that caused the series loss. If the batting collapses, even Dhoni's team will lose.
3) Sydney 2008 - Bucknor, and the third umpire. Period. Ponting and his shenaignans. This was a series we could have won 2-1 but for the extra-ordinarly poor(biased) umpiring. 50 varushamA Australiala win paNNAdha team-ai, ipdi ellAm 14 players vechukittu attack paNNadhukku, andha tourla namma 2-1 vandhadhu was an excellent result, better than the current series draw because that was a frigging aussie team with 16 wins on the trot - an all time great team. indha mAdhiri ellAM umpiring irundhirundhA, even Dhoni cannot overcome. We infact had SA commentators fuming this time with umpiring decisions going in our favour. We did well to utilise those favours, too. Aus 2008 is a good example of even a tiny bit of luck might have helped Kumble make history. The way he led that team to Perth and turned the tables on one of the greatest all time teams - now, that is leadership. Equal to any leadership achievement of Dhoni so far.
4) Sri Lanka 2009 - again, opportunity squandered. Batsmen to blame in the match we lost, and although Dhoni resorted to defensive captaincy from 97/7 tp 260+, we actually won that match so the defensive captaincy did not have an impact on the result of the series. Batsmen to blame for not winning the series instead of drawing.

Ajit Agarkar had got Justin Langer lbw twice, with balls that pitched on leg, straightened and were hitting middle stump. Both were plumb, but both were given not out by Steve Bucknor. Later, Damien Martyn was plumb to Murali Kartik, and again Bucknor, who had made that shocking decision against Sachin Tendulkar at Brisbane, adjudged it not out. His decisions threatened to affect the outcome of a tense, even series. And it is surely unjust that the final result could be determined not by the excellence of the cricket, but the ineptness of the umpiring.

Yet there it was, the unmistakeable sound of real piano music. Quite good, too. And the man on the piano stool? Shantakumaran Sreesanth. India’s ‘wild man’ fast bowler is a lot more than meets the eye.
Polite and respectful to a fault off the field, he was criticised early in his career for lacking the ‘temperament’ to be a fast bowler and found himself virtually goaded into behaving the way he does on the field today.
He’s undoubtedly naturally eccentric but, by trying to play a ‘character’ on the field rather than himself he sometimes finds himself confused and distracted by what his cricketing personality is supposed to do next rather than his real life character.He swore on all that was holy and sacred to him that he had never, and would never stoop so low. The worst he had called the Proteas players, he said, was “arrogant.” He was overheard telling one senior player: “I used to have respect for you, I thought you were a legend, but after 2006 I realised you are nothing but a disgrace.”

Generally I have lost interest in ODIs however this series is an exception
a) Sachin is still playing - he doesn't have a great record in ODIs in SA against SA
Career summary Grouping Span Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF SR 100 50 0 4s 6s
v South Africa 1992-2006 20 20 0 522 101 26.10 785 66.49 1 1 1 58 1
b) India have a poor record in SA ODIs - this is as good a chance we have ever got to change that. Jai Dhonishwaraya Namaha! varalaaru mukkiyam - idhai epdiyAvadhu jeyichuduppA thambi

India 1992-2006 20 3 16 0 1 0.18 22.89 4.20 279 91
kosuru: India haven't played a ODI in SA against SA without Tendulkar EVER
c) This is really funny and needs reparation - The only ODI heroes for India in SA have been unsung, ordinary players whose career high remained this victory.
(i) Vijay Yadav(Vijay Who, eh?) and Praveen Amre in 1992
Vijay Yadav later became a ground curator in Delhi.
Amre is more famous now as a Coach for Mumbai Ranji team, India U-19 tours etc
(ii) Harbhajan Singh

Plessis eyeing ODI series to seal WC spot
Durban, Tue, Jan 11 2011
26 year old South Africa all-rounder Faf du Plessis is eager to impress the national selectors during the five-match ODI series against India to secure his place in the Proteas WC squad.
Plessis earned his place in the ODI squad with a strong performance in the domestic MTN40 tournament, where he emerged as the tournament's leading run-scorer with 567 runs, including three centuries, at a staggering average of 81.
"I can honestly say it's been the highlight of my whole life so far. I am really, really excited to be here. The guys have been awesome. From the first day it feels like I've been part of them for a long time," said Plessis.
"It's been an awesome week but, for me now, it's just to take it day by day," said the Proteas batsman in a press conference on Monday.
The call up to the ODI squad was followed by his selection in the IPL side Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for $120,000 at the player auctions for the fourth season of the tournament.
Asked about the prospect of playing under India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is the skipper of CSK in the IPL, Plessis said, "So far I have not spoken to Dhoni. I just know that he is the captain, a very well respected captain and for me to play under one of the better captains in the world, I am really looking forward to it."
He said the IPL franchises were looking to groom youngsters and strike a right balance in their teams.
"The IPL teams want to have good balance in the side. They need to have experienced and young guys who can run around and make noises and I am happy to play that role. They want to balance the teams nicely with youth and experience. They want to groom youngsters for three or four years time," he said.
The right handed batsman said it will be a challenging task to play against one of the best teams in the world.
"India are number one side in Tests. It's nice to play against the best in the world and see how good you really are. I am looking forward to it," he said.
"I am now excited to be play for South Africa. It's the highlight of my career. When IPL comes that will be another highlight for me," he added.
He also thanked skipper Greame Smith for making him feel comfortable in the team.
"For me, it's awesome to see how quickly the guys take you in and make you part of the family. Smith's first words were to congratulate and say well done and you're part of my family," Plessis said.

India teamOk, there seems to be some confusion over the Indian combination. It now emerges that they are playing three seamers - Zaheer, Nehra and Munaf. Harbhajan is the specialist spinner, while Yuvraj, Raina and co. will turn their arm over as well. Rohit Sharma gets a game, while Yusuf Pathan sits out.

Nehra to Smith, OUT, 83.9 mph, Kamikaze from Smith. That's a horror shot. A horrendous shot. He was caught at slip, but that was not an outside edge. Smith charges down the track and across, and gets a delivery that was not there for the drive, around off stump. He tries to hoick it across the line, without being in any position to play the shot. He gets a top edge that loops high and nestles in Rohit Sharma's hands at the lone slip. Smith is not Zaheer's bunny today. He has ended up being his own bunny for a change. Smith c Smith b Smith.

For Directhit - some Gopumon Love
the whole cricketing ecosystem including the media, tired perhaps of his consistent trysts with controversy, has made him a virtual outsider, in the team dressing room and outside. Reports of his being humiliated in the dressing room surfaced again during the Test series against South Africa; on the field on day four of the third Test we saw the spectacle of senior bowler Harbhajan Singh loudly abusing him for some perceived misdeed; lip-readers will have picked up in Singh's words a reference to his team-mate's sexual liaisons with various female members of his family.
With the media increasingly prone to carrying the water for various high profile team members, it is no surprise then that the majority of what is written about Sreesanth relates to his antics; I am yet to see one of our vaunted cricket writers do an analytical piece on the merits or lack thereof of his bowling.
An informed appreciation of Sreesanth the bowler requires a degree of understanding and analysis of his performances; it is far easier for our sycophantic media, which prefers oversimplification and trivialization over genuine cricketing arguments, to harp on his personality traits and ignore his abilities. Add to that a dressing room that has made no bones about the fact that they see him as a disciplinary liability as opposed to a match-winning asset, and the demonization is complete.
Another aspect of this double speak is that we tend to value such "aggression" when it comes to foreign stars - from a Glenn McGrath to an Andre Nel, we tolerate, even excuse, the most over the top behavior, reserving our ire for the bowler in our own ranks.Pound for pound, a Harbhajan Singh has been guilty of acting up far more than Sreesanth, yet he is a "valued member of the side" who must be defended at all costs. - why does Bhajji get so much support or atleast no public humiliation or advice despite far worse antics and brining far bigger shame upon the good name of our team and the nation?
Smith then chose to "take up the issue" with Dhoni. Fair enough - only, Smith accused the Indian bowler of dragging in sexual references to family members, while the commentators of the time, and subsequent published reports, indicated that Sree had told Smith he was arrogant, that even his own team thought so, and no one liked him. A Steve Waugh, an Arjuna Ranatunga, would have laughed in his sleeve and even let Sree loose on the opposition captain in the next game - but Dhoni chose to publicly upbraid his player. (If speaking out of turn to the opposition is to be upbraided, how about sexually charged abuse of one's own team mate on the field of play, of the kind Harbhajan indulged in?)

I watched the game. MS was seen on screen as though he was talking tough to Sree. But this was not for any mouthing of words to the opposition. The incident happened 1 over after Sree had 2 prolonged appeals which were correctly given as not out. After the end of the over he went to the boundary fuming and kicked the boundary markers. Umpire Taufy must have spotted this and talked to MS subsequently.
As far as I know umpires don't mind the verbals. But you cannot show any *obscene* physical reaction which can be caught on tape (for example giving a batsman a sendoff). That's why MS must have had a stern chat with Sree. Until the kicking incident, MS had nothing to say to Sree.
My take: Sree was the best bowler on day 4, even though Harby got all those wickets. He was bowling his heart out. Lets cut him some slack. Well bowled Sree!

Actually, Sree has been fined for that act (kicking boundary line).

Dh, this article i have read. AvanEvA ivan? But someone in media must target bhajji so this fellow is necessary.
Glad to see rogith succeed.
Sourav, see this
Sachin, viru, gautam, kohli, dhoni, raina, rohit/yusuf, harbhajan, zaheer, munaf/3rdseamer, nehra
This is the first xi. Yusuf has booked a birth. So only 3 spots are there. You need a backup w/k, seamer and spinner. So, no spot for Vijay anyway in the world cup 15. So why play him now? Better to give more chances to kohli, rohit AnD pathan no?

i agree with u, less chance for him in WC squad as back-up opener, so they should give chance to rohit and yusuf etc. Prob with Vijay is he has failed to convert the starts to big ones. he is too slow or get out if he tries to go for the shots. lets see today.

Oh yeah Yuvi so only one of Yusuf/Rohit for world cup.unless viru or gautam have to sit out due to injury. Infact, with that a distinct possibility, all the more important to groom kohli/sharma as backup opener.

raina is more capable of playing a long innings and converting good start to centuries... and kohli does that too... i prefer kohli and raina to be in 3 and 4....
wait... then where is yuvi... he deserves the 4th position as well...
though rohit shines once in a while, he is not very consistent... and looks a bit over-rated... i don think he has single handedly won a match for india...

27.6 Botha to Raina, 1 run, 54.4 mph, Raina has just gotten away with the day's ugliest shot. So ugly that @HoldingWilley says "Raina nearly handed Yusuf his World Cup spot". He stays in the crease and goes for a mad slog sweep to a ball that wasn't in the slot and gets a big top edge. IT swirls in the air as Miller runs back, Parnell runs in and a third fielder also coverges. It falls between them at midwicket.

But one thing is clear - South Africa arent really contenders for the World Cup. neraiya weakness irukku. Vonly few good players and their strength in bowling will be neutered by sub-continental pitches(rather any ODI pitch anywhere in the world today - nEthu second battingnAla we lost else story would have been different).
So, it's between
India-England-Australia - Top 3 contenders
Sri Lanka-Pakistan - for very different reasons, the next 2
West Indies-SouthAfrica-NZ - third rung contenders for title. Ofcourse, SA might still reach Semis/Finals more reliably than pak/SL etc but in terms of winning the tournament, their chances are close to nil.
I'd even say Bangladesh have as much chance of winning the tournament as South Africa, although SA have a 100 times better chance of reaching the semis.

Something is loose in Smith's skull - it was hubris and a desire to overwhelmingly win that led him to take the doomed powerplay.
I think he is suffering from contempt for the indian team - and it is losing him key moments in this series(tests and odis).
Saffers will be better off without him as captain. 7 years. Best before date has passed i guess

From: Plum on 16th January 2011 09:03 AM [Full View]
Hopefully, the injuries dont disrupt his test career.
And Dhoni backing Vijay - it is a bit unfortunate that after years you have an India captain giving extended patronage to a TN youngster - and it had to be this particular, useless youngster. Vijay will replace Jadeja as the most hated Indian player soon, at this rate

I am little bit surprised to see that you still believe Vijay. In my perception, Vijay can excel in the sub-continent pitches. Because of his loose technique and initial forward movement, I don't think he can play very well in the bouncy tracks. Still the man has got various strokes in his armoury. But a coach like Gary Kirsten or some former greats like Gavaskar should give him some tips if he has to play well in the bouncy tracks, particularly make him play better off the back-foot.

Alternatives to Coin Tossing
indha method-la BCCI-ai adichukka mudiyAdhuBidding 'Tis the flavour of the season. First it was the TV ad slots, then the players. This method will ensure countries that have painstakingly earned money from the game over the years are justly rewarded. What's the point of having these upstart Associates with no glorious histories - or even their own "best of" cricket shows (the horror!) - getting to call?
Dhoni has good practice for this methodThe Sreesanth Test Being a captain is all about controlling your players and putting up with egos, whiners, overnight millionaires and... Sreesanth. So as the acid test, before the match, both captains will be left in a room with everybody's favourite Mallu (sorry, dude), where they will be subject to histrionics, dances, multilingual abuse, and if they're lucky, an impersonation of Dale Steyn. The captain who doesn't run out screaming for his mommy gets to choose what he wants to do in the field.
Sri Lanka kitta namma toss jeyikkaradhu kanfarmednga.Nom de players A deserving captain is one who knows his team in and out. Not their Twitter handles, their full names. Skippers will thus be encouraged to spend more time with their team-mates, hence building team spirit as well. This is not only fair, but imagine the fun we'll have during Sri Lanka-Holland games.
Sangakarra will probably win this oneCatchphrases-R-Us Remember that old British gameshow where you were out if you said either "yes" or "no"? This works on the same principle - except with catchphrases. Imagine Dhoni struggling to complete a sentence without "Well, of course", or in an era gone by, Azhar without "Buttah, the boysah played wellah." The delicious possibility of this being extended to the commentary box might mean less wear on the "Mute" button in coming years.

ennamO pOnga. Youtube kAttAn adichu namma World Cup jeyikkaNumnu India thalaila ezhudhi irundhA mAththavA mudiyin?
If such a limited player as Youtube kAttAn can forge a LOI career based on a few explosive innings - made strictly in typical ODI pitches of today when significant opp bowlers are bowling badly on an odd day - I guess I can rationalise my loss of interest in 50 overs cricket.
If SA pitches are so benign to such batsmen, where can one go? |
(I know the response to this - the pitch was two-paced and sluggish etc but that's not kAttAn's weakness. And seeing highlights, looks like he Kallised South Africa by capitalising on every single bad ball bowled by the SA bowlers even while looking unconvincing otherwise)
I understand that I have been ranting against him last few days hence his success is not surprising but I'd rather value the Sachin-inspired 2003 runner-up than a Youtube kAttAn-propelled 2011 WC win.

# Pathan's aforesaid fifty is first against South Africa - his third in ODIs.
# Pathan has registered two successive innings of fifty-plus in ODIs for the first time. In his previous innings, he had recorded a career-best 123 not out against New Zealand at Bangalore on December 7, 2010.
# Plessis and Duminy were involved in a fifth wicket stand of 110 - South Africa's highest against India for this wicket-position, eclipsing the 107 between Mark Boucher and Neil McKenzie at Dhaka on April 18, 2003.
# Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have shared a stand of 52 for the second wicket - India's highest at Cape Town
# Morne Morkel (3/28) has registered his best bowling performance against India, outstripping the 2 for 12 at Durban on January 12, 2011.
# On his ODI debut, Faf du Plessis, with his 60 off 78, has top-scored for South Africa.
# Plessis' splendid innings is the third best by a South African on his ODI debut. Colin Ingram had posted 124 against Zimbabwe at Bloemfontein on October 15, 2010 and Shaun Pollock 66 not out against England at Cape Town on January 9, 1996.
# Gulam Bodi is the only other South African to post a fifty-plus on debut - 51 against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo on August 22, 2007.
# Suresh Raina and Yusuf Pathan have added 75 - India's highest for the sixth wicket against South Africa in South Africa, beating the 74 (unbroken) between Pravin Amre and Vijay Yadav at East London on December 19, 1992.
# Harbhajan Singh's well-compiled 23 not out is his highest against South Africa in South Africa - his second best against South Africa - his highest is 37 not out at Hyderabad on November 16, 2005.
# With their magnificent victory, their first against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town, India have taken a 2-1 series lead.
# India, for the first time, have recorded two ODI wins in a row against South Africa in South Africa - by one run at Johannesburg on January 15 and by two wickets at Cape Town on January 18.
# India's two-wicket triumph is their narrowest margin in terms of wickets, surpassing the three-wicket win at Kolkata on November 10, 1991 and Kochi on March 9, 2000.
# Harbhajan Singh (2/23) has registered his best bowling figures at Newlands, Cape Town, bettering the 2 for 41 against Kenya on March 7, 2003.
# Yusuf Pathan (1/27) has recorded his best bowling figures in South Africa, bettering the 1 for 56 against Pakistan at Centurion on September 26, 2009.
# Jean-Paul Duminy has posted his second fifty (52) against India - his eleventh in ODIs.
# With 138 runs at an average of 46.00, Jean-Paul Duminy is the top run-scorer in the present series. He is also the only player to register two fifties.

LM, I am ranting on a different plane. I understand this is the ground reality - that even a Yusuf Pathan can be a match winner- and as DH said quite reasonably on 3/10 occasions, which is quite a grand ratio for match-winning efforts. Originally Posted by littlemaster1982

I am ranting that ODI cricket has been devalued so with CEO pitches(as they call it) standardised across the world and the tilt towards sheer force over skill as differentiator. Equally, that a bowler like Harbhajan, with his push-through-on-pads style, can be a succesful ODI bowler simply demeans the format to me.
What I am saying is this: What if Yusuf Pathan blazes his way through 2011 WC? What if Sachin is just an extra as he watches Youtube kAttAn blitzes India to the title?
(for that to happen, obviously, there should be a very small number of matches where the batsmen are tested by good bowlers and/or testing conditions)
Yes, Sachin will have a world cup against his name but I wouldnt really value it over his brilliant 2003 campaign and that 98 against Shoaib, Wasim and Waqar.
The whole point about the ODI World Cup was the difficulty in getting it against good bowlers and in trying conditions. Remove that from the equation, and to me atleast, it has no value.
This is not to say Youtube will have a blitzing campaign or India will win the WC 2011 - long way from there, we are still. Nevertheless, if we win, one would prefer teams like Australia/Pakistan/Lanka/Safrica/England to turn in excellent bowling performances, and pose a tough challenge to Indian batsmen - I am pretty sure if they did, Yusuf Pathan will be just a footnote or less rather than a headline - and a real batsman like Viru or Gautam or Sachin or even Raina or Kohli or Yuvraj will win the cup for India. I'd prefer it that way than if Yusuf's blitzkreig won it for India

To simplify, you don't like someone like Yusuf Pathan to win matches on his own? You can't expect a lower order batsman to be as good as Sachin or Sehwag or Gambhir. But if he is good at finishing things, what's the harm? Let's say there is a huge target to be chased and the top order batsmen successfully sets up the innings. You need someone like Yusuf to finish things, right? I agree Yusuf will gain more attention in that case, but I would take a win due to Yusuf's contribution than a heartbreaking loss ala Hyderabad 2009 because of dead weights like Jadeja.

I'll have to verify this but I'd rather confidently bet that a lot of his wickets would have been balls on middle and leg bouncing high thereby opening up catches in close cordon, mostly on the legside

- check his record from 2006-2010. If selectors went by performance, he should have been kicked out long back. They kept saying no alternative without ever trying an alternative. The Mishras and Chawlas and Ojhas just got one or two chances to fail while Twatajhan kept getting chances just becase 10 years back, he bowled 2-3 brilliant spells in a series. He was always persisted until after 15-20 matches, he will bowl one good spell and based on that, another 15-20 matches and so on.

What i mean is put him in a regular pitch and he wont get too many wicketes - that is to say, he keeps bowling in his one-dimensional way, and if 1 out of 10 pitches happens to suit that, he gets wickets in that test match. This is interpreted as he is back to form, and he is kept for another 10 matches.
India's salvation lies in Harbhajan running into 20 test matches continuously where the pitch doesnt suit him, and his record is severely damaged. Even then, I am not sure if he will be removed.

Mishra - quite good actually. Problem is you discarded him after 1-2 bad matches. That's not done. Leg spinners need confidence. Even
Warne took time to settle down, and thanks to a Legendarily Incompetent English Batting Generation, became a legend himself.
Ashwin - he makes a huge difference to TN and in pitches not conducive to Spin bowling, he has toiled hard to win matches for TN. He actually needs to be given an opportunity and a long rope to evolve. summA 2 test matches kuduthuttu pOittu vA-nu anuppaRadhu ellAm vElaikkAvadhu.
Give him the same 10 matches you usually give Harbhajan to come out of his permanent bad phases and see the difference.
Ashwin is a thinking bowler, and that engineer's mind, like Venkat and Anil and Erapalli before, can think a batsman out - which is something you can never claim for Harbhajan. avar pAttukku avarukku therinjadhai pOduvAr - batsmanA pArththu out AgaNum.

SS, he is mediocre. mediocrenAlE mOsam illainu dhAn arththam. The problem with mediocrity is that it gets a much longer rope than outright lack of capability - sometimes, mediocrity can stand in the way of the truly brilliant from emerging
Bhajan's fault is that he is smart and recognises this - and can control his fate with exactly just enough performance to prolong his career repeatedly. He knows he can raise his game but wont bother unless his place is on line. I strongly believe he is mentally lazy(Like me in my career, ofcourse adhu veRa vishayam) and doesnt value the India cap as he should.

I hate to say it, but i would have to say it - Plum's rants against Pathan and winning WC with his help seem childish.
Pathan can clear boundaries with ease. It is not like some incapable batsmen scoring with the help of short boundaries. Pathan is a really good player against spin, he uses his feet very well. Against quality fast bowling, yes he struggles. But, apart from Sachin, tell me who is good against quality bowling? Even raina kathakalis against short stuff. Yuvraj still cannot play spin convincingly. I don't remember Rohith Sharma performing for India at all. Kohli mattum thaan confident-a aadraan ippothaikku.

RK, a WC win with Pathan's pyrotechnics is worthless to me. It will demean my whole love for that 2003 WC performance by Sachin if I deign to appreciate Pathan's pyrotechnics. Yuvi is a flat-track bully himself but atleast, he is not ugly like Pathan when he does the bullying.
Raina has a weakness, just like Ganguly had but he has performed in a reasonably diverse set of conditions, and a test century in reasonably demanding circumstances is not to be scoffed at.
Pathan is a kALAn, an eyesore, a blot on teh good name of the game of Cricket

For Harbhajan fans here
Here he has found bounce in the tracks, which the Indian pitches haven't given him of late. Accordingly, he has controlled things well in four of the six international matches so far on the tour.The South Africans have put themselves under immense pressure because they just can't score freely off him. The Johannesburg choke began during an eight-over Harbhajan spell when the batsmen became uneasy. Even though the chase wasn't huge, the pressure was. At least from the way South Africa reacted, it seemed thus. JP Duminy saw a part-timer, immediately went for the release, and played a bad shot. The same happened in the third ODI in Cape Town when South Africa got stuck in the middle overs, and AB de Villiers holed out in Yusuf Pathan's first over. In that sense, Harbhajan has performed a far bigger role than just four wickets in three ODIs suggest."The South African batsmen had momentum on their side" Dhoni said. "The way he bowled, that seven-over spell, they decided to not take Harbhajan on, which meant they lost a bit of momentum. That really brought us back. After that everybody contributed."The answer to this is simple - he will do this only when he reaches the dead-end with criticism getting sharp enough that he'll be dropped with one more poor perrformance - that's when he uncorks this part of his talent. IMO, this is one reason he is not worthy of a India cap. The guy just doesnt give his 100% most of the time.In Cape Town, we saw a rare and a refreshing sight. Harbhajan going all out on the attack, often bowling with two, at times three, on odd occasion even four, men close to the bat. And Harbhajan is at his best when he is attacking, not bowling flat, giving the ball time to draw bite from the surface. It is a mystery why he doesn't attack more often, but whenever he does he looks a completely different bowler from the one that averaged 40 runs per wicket in Tests last year.
OhO! Lazy man blames his tools. idhukku support vERa.His test, though, remains in not turning into a defensive spinner the moment he sees slow and low tracks in India, which by the way he is not wrong in berating.

This was the case few years back also but everyone - selectors, fublic, media - seemed to be backing ODI winners in tests and Yuvraj wasted a spot for a few years in the test team
If Harby does well in World Cup, he'll stay in the test team on the basis of the ODI performance for 2 years. We seem to have lost the ability to comparmentalise the two formats while judging.
idhukkAga thAn one has to wish for utter failure from him in all formats for an extended period so that he can be removed from the test team - given his overall talent for LOI, this will never happen and he'll stay on in the test team for years. Which annoys me.

Very good ground fielder (Idhu very secondary).
Useful bowler (He takes wickets very consistently).
Not an hit and miss racket like Pathan brother. He is the only player in the world playing in domestic leagues on four different continents. He plays for Somerset in English T-20, Southern Redbacks for Big Bash(Aus t-20) and Stanford Superstars and MI(IPL). This is other than his WI duties.

Bowling is almost equal or Pathan might just edge Pollard there.

Bowling: Pollard > Y Pathan - Pollard's bowling seem to be consistent because he doesn't play that many number international matches as Elder Pathan does.
Batting: Pollard > Y Pathan - no way.. they are on the same tier.. in fact Pathan is slightly better in terms of batting.
Check the stats..
in ODIs:
Pathan averages 31 @ SR of 110.75
Pollard averages 20 @ SR of 94
In ODIs Pathan is the clear winner..
In T20s:
Pathan averages 24.61 @ SR of 163.20
Pollard averages 27.21 @ SR of 170.95
In T20s Pollard is slightly better.
And regarding his participation in 4 leagues.. IMO Pathan gives more priority playing National/BCCI matches than the leagues. Who would not want Pathan in their team if he is available for selection in the respective leagues?

I know batting stats is slightly higher for Pathan in ODI's. I thought we were only talking abt t-20's. If I have a choice b/n Pollard and Pathan I would take Pollard for the all-round player he is. Pollard is certainly a better batsman than Pathan, IMO.

How good is Pollard against spinners>
-
From: Puliyan_Biryani on 20th January 2011 01:13 PM [Full View]
Sourav, exactly my point. Leave alone the short ball. Pollard is capable of hitting the full balls from fast bowlers also for six. Pathan has shown that he can only hit spinners.
Hitting agaisnt spin - Pathan good. Pollard above average.
Hitting against pace - Pathan bad. Pollard good.
So overall hitting Pollard >> Pathan.
Note: ivunga panradhai ellaam Batting-nu solla mudiyalai hence using the term hitting.

Pollard is a much better fielder and better athlete yes..
bowling eppadi oru medium pacer ayum spinner ayum compare pannuveenga?! both bowl at different times - they both are equally effective! and most times bowling is subjective - in terms of the bowlers in ur team/ coming after a Zaheer+Malinga for MI naturally Pollard taking wickets is normal... (though honestly havent seen much of his bowling stuff for other teams)
Batting - both are more or less same, infact having seen YP bat more i rate him more .. chumma short ball weakness ellam solladheenga.. Indian team OPENER Gambhir thadavu thadavunnu thadavinaan against Morkel in 1st test, does that make him a lesser bat?! YP Plays at 6-7 where he runs mostly into spinners ... Innings like the one against NZ/the one against Mumbai Indians in the final - NO LESS THAN THE BEST OF POLLARD IMO
@ Puli - YP also hits fast bowlers equally, he is quite strong square and front of the wicket..
From the day he scored his first runs in International cricket with a six i yaam his fan :P

From: Ramakrishna on 20th January 2011 02:49 PM [Full View]
To be honest, he hasn't got consistent opportunities to play for India. Even useless guys like Jadeja, Vijay and R.Sharma got more opportunities than Pathan. Even in the matches he played for India, he did not always get to bat. Even if he had a chance to bat, often he got a chance only during the last few overs when he had no time to settle. I guess ppl here are quite unfair on him. You people talk about weakness against short pitched stuff, what do you think about Raina who equally kathakalis against such stuff if not worse. Infact none of the Indian batsman are comfortable against short balls barring the God.
If you say his batting isn't pleasing to the eye like what Plum says, then it is quite understandable since it is subjective and can be accepted to an extent.

Raina has succeeded in ODIs and T20s in a whole variety of conditions and situations - you really cannot compare Pathan with him.
There was a time when Pathan was given quite a few chances and he used to get out for 0s of the first or second ball. M Vijay and Rohit Sharma have been given undeservingly long ropes, especially Vijay but this doesnt justify Pathan,

After a few months, india's. Batting order:
Nehra, Munaf, bhajji, Zaheer, Pathan, Raina, dhoni, gambhir, sehwag, Yuvi, Kohli
Kohli will be opening bowler at 140 kmph
Gambhir is his opening partner bowling cuters and swing and seam
Yuvi is main spinner

kohli, gauti both r good players against spin. With the current form kohli should bat @ 3. At the same time gauti also is in good touch with 2 centuries in Nz series and couple of good knocks in SA tests. Gauti has the ability to score boundaries by coming down the track against pacers at times wen the runrate is going down... so he would be more effective in power plays i think...

ya this guy ashwin has some issue with his vision i think, esply while fielding! he's missed a few catches in his short career so far, and also his ground fielding seems poor when he's posted near the boundary, letting in easy 2s..a couple of times in matches, he was seen motioning 'i didn't see the ball' after misfielding like our nehra bhai...idhula coolers vera!

19th, SA batted for 42 overs (when the rain came) thinking that it was a 50 over game. They were saving their wickets so that they can capitalize on the last 8 overs. After the rain they had only 4 overs left, so they were robbed 4 overs off their slog overs. Also they had 6 wickets in hand at the time rain came which equates to more resources left for the slog. Hence the score correction to 267. Logically idhu correct-dhaane Originally Posted by 19thmay

Player of the match HM Amla (South Africa)
Player of the series M Morkel (South Africa)
MS Dhoni: "Disappointing series for the batsmen. The bowlers were getting the wickets, and getting the runs too. It was a good pitch, but we kept losing wickets. Most of us got out playing shots. Yusuf can clear most cricket fields in the world. The big learning from this game is to keep wickets in hand for the last ten overs. Conditions at the WC will be very different, but the series gave a chance to test our young batsmen. The spectators have been spectacular through the tour."

hehe... Dhoni will be effective on Indian conditions. He can no longer play those big shots. But he can stay there and hold one end up. He is a determined cricketer. He may thadavify, but never gives up. Originally Posted by ajaybaskar

engalum than nalla valaiyam poduvan... :P yaara irunthalum ok...no prob... kappu vaanguna sari... As ajay mentioned i also think dhoni wont leave out raina completely... he would give chance btw raina/yusuf depends on their form during WC. yaaru kanda gauti/viru-la oruthan injury aagi (vazhakkam pola), yusuf/raina 2 perumae aadura maathiri kooda irukkum...

I think, on Indian conditions, our batting will be terror.
At the present form, Sachin will perform in every game. Bowling mattum thaan worry.
What will be the possible bowling combination?
Zaheer
Praveen/Munaf
Chawla/Ashwin/nehra
bajji
Yusuf and Yuvi for part time

If yuvraj has to be there for bolwing, we can go with 5 specialist (Read R ashwin) bowlers instead of yuvarasan...it will be a very defensive strategy to have a batsman in the team for his bowling skills.. Originally Posted by Ramakrishna

Unfortunately for Raina, Kohli is in great form and has better technique to perform consistently. Raina has to sit out.
Harbhajan is contributing as bowler and his batting is just an added advantage..which is not the case with Yuvraj singh.

Let's make it a Yuvraj vs Harbhajan contest then?
Actually, not a bad idea, no?

finally comes down to raina and yuvi...i prefer raina...more dependable and a better fielder than the present yuvaraj..

Appadi illa, Yuvi is still there for his batting only. Part timers-liye sirantha part timer Yuvi thaan. He can be more dangerous with the bat than Raina. if you take the SA series into consideration, Yuvi scored a crucial 50 in the 2nd game. Raina was a complete failure with the bat.

raina failed only this series . But before that he was considered to be one of the most reliable lower down the order batsmen and can bat at no 3 as well. Yuvi is vulnerable against spinners...
