Should've kept the spinners on. fecking Gul.
Shoaib Malik ... hope this is his last game ever.
South Africa have just handed the game to India. How stupid are you when you win the toss and let India chase?
Rain's predicted for the game so teams need to be careful for DL. It's why both teams wanted to bat first.
The most sensible thing to do with rain around is field first. Let's say SA make 150 and rain strikes after 6 overs of the Indian innings, then they only need to be around 40 runs to win. Makes no sense to bat first in these conditions vs India, especially when they are capable to chase down any total.
Why the feck is Raina bowling when Ashwin's got 3 overs left?
Because Dhoni would rather get a quick 3 over spell from Raina when SA are under pressure than attack and go for more wickets with Ashwin. Just like he stood up to Bhuvaneshwar and force him to bowl a containing line than stay back and let him swing it.
He did pretty much the same thing against Pakistan. Bought Yuvraj on when Pakistan were struggling - who then went for around 13 runs.
