Topic: India vs South Africa Posted: 26 November 2005 at 10:16pm |
|
India will have to win the last ODI just to draw the series. Even if SA lose the last ODI, they will still draw the series.
The sad thing about this series is that there has been no close match and I'm starting to get bored of this series because every match is always dominated by one team or the other...none of the matches are close.

Dravid is a fine player and he might score a century...but whatever.
I hope the last match is a close one too and I also want India to win even though I hate them. I only want them to win because I don't want SA to succeed to much.

Dream on...
It's not that easy to do! Their next 2 series are against Pakistan (I think) in Pakistan. Those 2 series will probably go to Pakistan. They aren't going to be facing zimbabwe. They will be facing Pakistan. So it's not that easy.

Really?
No, I just checked on cricinfo and it says their next series is against Pakistan. An ODI series and a Test series.
Anyway, playing Pakistan in Pakistan is not easy, so I highly doubt that India will beat Pakistan and higher their ranking to number 5.

What a stroll in the park for SA !! Fine knock by Smith and good support from Hall. The bowlers did the job too , but India were less than decent.
They need to sort out their attack , opening with Agarkar is a joke fellas!! In fact if he's bowling 1st today we might see another 10 wicket victory for the visitors!!

India win the toss in the final game of this series. As predicted the toss winner chose to bowl first because of the dew factor .
India have achieved what they couldn't in the Friday game - they've taken a wicket!! Hall bowled by Pathan for 4 and Kallis (2) is now in with captain , Smith (14).
South Africa 25-1 after 6.3 overs

The lightningly quick Agarkar bowled just 2 overs before being replaced by RP Singh. His superb spell went for a paltry 15 runs!!

SA 37-2 after 9 overs , Prince joins his Western Province teammate , Kallis.

SA have struggled on a slowish track against the spinners today. Kallis made a pugnacious 91 to keep SA in the contest but there's been little support. A flurry by Pollock has pushed the total up a little , but it looks inadequate.
After their 50 overs SA totalled 221 Shaun blazing 30 off only 17 deliveries.
The stark difference between the attacks has to be seen to be believed! Bowling 1st , India have used FIVE spinners !!! SA don't have 5 spinners in the country , nevermind in the side today. Obviously they'll have to use their seamers when the ball is wet - Johann Botha and maybe Smith will try some spin. The 12th man is Peterson and if the dew factor doesn't come into play , I'm sure he'll bowl too.
I just see India being careful against Pollock and winning this one in a canter.
SA have still yet to win a one day series in India (although they have won a test series!) and they'll give it their all , but they won't much fancy the deck!

Pathan deserves a word too - fine performance by the youngster and has been India's best seamer by a country mile! He troubled all the batsmen , removing the top three and finishing with 3-20 off 8 overs.

Ntini is back!!! 2nd ball he has Gambhir caught by Kemp and India are 1-1 !!
Pollock's 1st over was a maiden confirming my belief that India will just try and see him off.
This might not be the walk in the park that the Indian crowd was expecting!

The bowlers taking a bit of tap here , Sehwag just hit Pollock for a 4 ,6,4 then gets given lbw by the worst umpire in the world! Harper adjudged him in front to a ball that was not only missing leg stump but also far too high - a real shocker!
India 46-2 thanks to the silly Australian - just how did he make the select panel , he is really very , very poor.

Tendulkar riding his luck a little , but staying positive. Fast start by India , after 10 overs they're on 57-2.
Dravid in with the little fella , who has 24 now....

106/3 now India, South Africa are giving a spirited defence but Dravid
and Yuvraj are in now and they are well in control of the run rate.

Good game this, India need 16 to win off 30 balls with 5 wickets in hand. Dravid and Kaif the men at the crease.

Dravid scores the winning runs and India level the series. Outstanding captain's inning from Dravid. Dravid not out on 78 and Kaif not out on 17.

You guys beat us on our home ground for I think the first time in history. We just beat you guys on your home ground in the ODI series earlier this year. So you can't underestimate us. We are also imrpoving in Tests as you can see in our performances against England.

So South Africa still haven't won a one day series in India. 2-2 isn't to be sneezed at though and they can go to Australia feeling pretty good about themselves. Gibbs and Boje will be back and that will certainly strengthen the team.
So every game was won by the side winning the toss - I told you fellas , winter ODI's are a lottery!!
A postscript to Micky Arthur - can you insert a firework in Kallis's bum at the 30 over mark - there has to be something that get's him to accellerate !
From an Indian perspective there's a lot to be happy about. I thought Yuvraj Singh looked top class and has all the shots. He plays straight too so he just has to become a regular in the test side.

 Yea, Kallis is very slow. I think he made 91 off 146. SA could have posted a higher score if it weren't for Kallis.
Yuvraj played a great inning bt sadly he got out on 49, 1 short of his half century.

The game that got washed out really made me angry. The series would have atleast ended in one team winning the series. This was a very boring series.
