I'm just concerned with the Durban test. we never seem to do well there.

I'm not expecting us to win the ODIs.

 

[Devill]

I think we will take the tests but I will be very surprised if we can taken two of the ODIs, never mind all three.

"2nd Test

As said above, this test venue is a worry as SA never seem to perform very well here.

 

[Ecco]

Weather is not looking good for that first ODI in JHB.

yep. I hate tests in Durban. It will feel like a home match for India. Fark all us Indians who support the "motherland"

I don't know whether to go for Sunday's game. The weather forecast is not looking good and the only seats available are the ones in direct sunlight. I'll either get roasted or end up having a bath. :/

Fsck yeah!

Getting a couple of beers and watching the cricket at home

 

[ghostbuster]

Zindabad India

Games is being played on Thursday according to OP and according to this post SABC showing game on Friday, might want to double check your plans

When have we last been walloped?

Sri Lanka i think, which wasn't too long ago. We have been great in test cricket and if we can get our combinations right in the ODI game we are deadly. Steyn needs to stay fit, give him a good bowling partner and let Hashi and QDK get going at the top we might be able to upset India in a few games. It is pretty much guaranteed to rain every evening in jhb for the next week, so duckworth lewis is going to be a factor in the day nighter tomorrow.

On the test in durban, historically spinners have hurt us there, we have Tahir now, he can do some serious damage as well. We also seem to have gotten better at playing spinners after all the sub continent cricket we have played (besides Ajmal, he is near unplayable).
