I can hardly wait. The promos on Neo have been really good. They are saying it is a "World Championship of cricket" which is a brilliant caption for this series. I think India will triumph this 1-0.

I'm backing SA to triumph in India 1-0 this time around and beat the Indians 2-0 in the return leg on the high veldt.
What do you guys reeckon ?

its unlikely the the current sa team with a struggling middleorder and spinner will be able to win in india ,there best chance was the last time they toured.

1-1 is my guess. Hoping for a result of 1-0 in India's favor though.

South Africa are a very ordinary team.

It ought to be an interesting contest, but I maintain that we do not stand a chance unless we go into the game with two spin bowlers and ensure that we have a competant second seamer to support Zaheer Khan. Neither Sreesanth nor Ishant Sharma have currently proved themselves to be competant bowlers, in their current incarnations.

Black_Warrior · 19-01-2010, 06:52 PM

South Africa might win at home later in the year..but I really dont see them winning in India. It might be 1-1 like the last time.

silentstriker · 19-01-2010, 08:18 PM

It'll be 1-1 if India decide to be generous. If one pitch is a flat road with no prospect of anyone winning, and two spinning wickets, I'd be ecstatic and back India to win 1-0 or 2-0. If Indian groundsmen go the Ahemdabad route, they should be fired, but then SA might win or draw.

I don't see South Africa lacking a high quality spinner as something to count against them. Spinners aren't the key to winning in India... unless you're India.

G.I.Joe · 19-01-2010, 11:42 PM

SA didn't need spinners in '99. Then again, they had Donald and Pollock.

2 test series, so can't have one flat wicket and 2 spinning wickets.
