So it will take a refusal on Raina's part to suck Dhoni's c*ck?

All the Indian batsmen will be on trial, let us not single out Dravid. As it was posted elsewhere none of them average over 40 barring Laxman. Dravid has a 50 plus average in ODIs though.

The big difference to me would be the pressure exerted by SA in the field. That would make their attack more potent than India's even though I don't think the SA attack is that much superior.

It'll depend a lot on which Ishant turns up - I think Tendulkar and co will go alright against Steyn and Morkel, fantastic bowlers though they both are, but the question is whether India's bowling will be as much of a hassle for the almost-as-good South African batting line up. I don't think India will have missed Kumble more since he retired, either, can't see Harbajahn doing that much.

Heard on some news channel that Tendulkar is injured in a practice session.

I hope that's just exaggerating a Umesh Yadav bouncer which hit him on the head. Wasn't serious.

If he can't handle a Umesh Yadav bouncer, how'll he handle Steyn & Co?

He'll struggle to make 100 runs in this series.

Raina may refuse to chow down on Dhoni's schlong??? What is the world coming too????? Shocked

TBF, it was on a 5th day pitch with uneven bounce.

Note to Steyn and Co. Don't bounce SRT on a 5th day pitch

So no first class cricket for South Africa's players before the first test, either?

by punit_cricket on Fri 10 Dec 2010, 12:44

How will South Africa go without Graeme Smith?
Will Amla Kallis De Villiers carry on their form?

Will Dravid perform to get him a place in the WC side?
How will Raina handle the fiery bouncers of Steyn and Morkel?
How will Indian bowlers adapt to South African conditions?

by Henry on Fri 10 Dec 2010, 12:48

Smith will be fit.

by punit_cricket on Fri 10 Dec 2010, 12:50

Well if he is - it will be a bonus for SA.

Agreed bru. Looking at how they bounced the Paksters all over in Dubai. Crying or Very sad
