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.

The two sides play a home and away test series this year.

Its a litmus test for SA ....imo, for Smith's men to be considered a "great" team, they have to win in India just like the Windies did in 1983 and Australia in 2004.


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.

South Africa are a very ordinary team.
R: Rumors are there has been a lot of black grass planted in the...

VS: Yeah, I got the hair transplant in NY.

R: Actually I meant the pitch.

VS:

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.

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.

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.

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

Y no Afghanistan flag
Why on earth is this a 2 Test Series only?

Test squad Graeme Smith (capt), Hashim Amla, Johan Botha, Mark Boucher (wk), AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Paul Harris, Jacques Kallis, Ryan McLaren, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Alviro Petersen, Ashwell Prince, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

No Ntini..

Yeah a series of this magnitude deserve 3 test matches, even 4.
I am glad Ashwell Prince was able to save his place..although I hope better sense prevails and he is given his place in the middle order.

Neither Amla nor Kallis want to leave No.3 / No.4 spots.
