India [119/1] defeat South Africa [118] by nine wickets in 2nd ODI, lead series 2-0

Whats the point of giving India such a pitch? India are going to win on such pitches 9 times out of 10.

Why cant we get a pitch where the Indians are really tested?
 
This should be the end of ashwin. Either chahal or kuldeep should replace him in tests, especially away from home.
 
Pathetic cricket from SA. Rather play ashes cricket on Xbox than watch this insanity.

Agreed ... SA curators are looking like jokers this tour. They try to make one type of pitch; endup getting totally different pitch instead :facepalm:

Chahal is very bad red bowl bowler, he is finding difficult to have a place in first class team .
Kuldeep should be our overseas test spinner.
 
Kohli always gives his fav players a ball. Gave chance for chahal (rcb team mate) and ignored kudleep. He drops kudleep when ever they have to drop any bowler never for chahal.
 
Well done Chahal 5 for 22 !

SA will not win WC anytime soon until they learn playing against spinners.

Not sure if you can blame the curators. Especially if this is how the pitch behaves all the time. Just play somewhere else.

I already see India toppling teams like this in India. I would rather India get tested in different conditions. Especially flat pitches, the sort of conditions we will witness in the WC.
 
This Indian bowling attack is superb. Bhuvi, Bumrah, Chahal and Kuldeep all wicket taking bowlers. Chahal and Kuldeep are doing what Ajmal and Afridi used to do for Pakistan for so many years i.e. take wickets in the middle overs.

Kuldeep has more potential but Chahal is a special bowler too. His attitude of coming back even after getting hit is worth persisting.

Don't find controversy in everything even when India is doing well. Chahal get a go ahead of kuldeep because he has taken more wickets in int'l cricket and is a more economical bowler . He bowls in B'lore flat pitches and is successful so the preference :kohli

I doubt two frontline spinners philosophy will work in England where the world cup is next year. But, the way SA batted I guess if other teams bat the same way it can work.
 
Whoever is blaming the pitch should know that India has decent record here in ODIs and pitch here turns generally
 
Ashwin should watch how these guys were giving it air.He starts darting on first sign on trouble,even in Tests

It's an attacking strategy and I believe it will work. Saqlain and Warne were superb in the 99 world cup. Plus Chahal and Kuldeep are super accurate in their wrist spin landing on a good length almost every delivery. Would be very very hard for batsmen to hit them away.

We won CT in 2013 and those were off spinners, don't see why leggies won't work now.
 
Has there anyone as bad as D Miller against spin? Maybe U Khawaja.

Miller looks absolute Tailender against quality spin, I wonder how long before SA drops him.

I think 32, he has improved a lot . He was really young when he started playing FC and wrist spinners develop late. So when he was called to play test he was only 22 and still impressed everyone. Now Chahal is over 27 and still have not developed, last played FC in 2016 Aug. He himself don't want to learn.

Haryana already has pretty good wrist spinner in Amit Mishra. He is good batsman And now he is captain too. And they have Jayant Yadav too. So no place for Chahal.
 
Rohit is a real disappointment, he really makes all sharmaji ka betas look bad.
 
Kya hoga Dhawan ka..

Kya fir se run out karwayega Kaptaan Kohli, ya apne aap hi cut lega Dhawan..
Dekhenge jald hi..

Hum Log.
 
Rohit Sharma is complete joke just keeps pulling each short ball. Drop him before he looses his value.

I don't know man.Chinaman are awesome in LOIs but don't seem to do well in Tests.Plus he lacks control atm

Chahal looks smart and has control.But would rather have someone else in Tests. ATM Ash and specially Jaddu are doing fine
 
Boring one sided game. A flurry of wickets should make this interesting. Otherwise a snooze fest for neutrals

ok that 6 was good!

It's team Ind batting not some low ranked team to do silly things and give advantage to opponent.

Neutrals can watch IPL in April to see close games ��

I agree that Ash and Jaddu are fine , I was talking about scenario when I have to select between Chahal and Yadav. Yadav don't lack control, he is a wrist spinner who always tries to bowl slow so that type of bowling will get you some bad bowls.
Yadav can get wickets in test match on first day which is great for any spinner.
Right now Ash was jaddu should play and after 2 odd years yadav should replace one of them.
 
If the situation of today's match was reverse and SA was winning ...This match would've been much more interesting for neutrals ..Alas it was not the case 'King is On Duty' :kohli2

And thats my point, if you can't replace Jayant and Amit Mishra from FC team then there is no place for him in test team.
Btw why not he is trying for some other team. My point he himself is nor interested in Fc cricket or his development as a test bowler.
 
I am surprised no one has mentioned this so far. Chahal's figures are the second best ever in ODI's in and against South Africa. The best spell was by Wasim Akram

Agreed. I dont mind Pandya bowling, and India losing a couple of Jamodi, as long as it helps him develop as a bowler in the long run.

Also, today a lot of the runs off pandya were edges and quite streaky.
Click to expand...

It's ok for you to lose ODI's as long as Pandya is playing and still bowling rubbish? No offence but you look like a die hard Pandya fan. He is a trash bowler and India should not rely on his overs. His batting against spinners and ground fielding are his plus points.
 
Dhawan showing how good this pitch is for batting. Sometimes i wonder if teams with green kits should change their kit colour. Might be a cursed colour that takes away the ability to bat on the field :(

True. Along with turning pitch u need skill to turn the ball.

Boring commentary ...Pommi is almost crying by seeing this schooling by Ind to SA:bhajji

There is difference in quality of indian spinners and sa spinners. But you have to agree SA played bad strokes to get out

Well, he hasnt been rubbish. Was ok yesterday and my expectations from him are not great. As long as he has an economy of 10-20% more than our main 4 bowlers and pick a wicket or 2 in the process, that is good enough for me.

If he can do that, and become a bit more consistent with the bat, he brings a lot of balance to the Indian team.
 
Did they just take lunch? :murali

This is ridiculous stuff to say the least.

Report the match referee to the match referee!
 
Rules are Rules ...LOL.

Broadcasters to show more Ads and folks selling food and drinks in ground should get more business I guess :facepalm:
