*Official* South Africa T20 Tour of India 2022

[srbhkshk]

Karthik proving that staying far away from the Indian teams setup is the best way to continue being a decent T20 batsman.

That Pandya hockey swipe over midwicket is some shot.

They should give prithvi and Sanju Samson a shot in this side before the World Cup.

 

[andruid]

What a walloping.

Umran likely won't be seen till Ireland games or maybe ODIs vs England. Dravid & co are maybe trying to protect him but Tearaways have a limited lifespan. They shouldn't waste his best years while it's good that he isn't rotting in Indian domestic system though.

I understand the hype about Umran and it’s awesome that he’s bowling so quickly. But that doesn’t mean he should be thrown into internationals now. It might hamper his development because he often leaks runs and when it happens at the international level (which it will, he went at 9s in the IPL) he’ll come under pressure to change what he does best.

Just give the kid more time to develop some bowling smarts imo.

Yeah, have not seen him move it off the straight yet. On the bright side, he seems to have figured out that he can bowl different lengths at least. If he can develop some changes of pace, and an option of an effort ball (with Steyn as coach those seem doable) he will be good IMO. But he is not there yet and it makes sense they are taking their time with him. I would much rather see Arshdeep play before him.

 

[Heboric]

Oh well that ended in a damp squib.
I guess it was fair for both teams, first half my team was good the scond half not so much...

 

[Bolo.]

Hmm, that was no good.

I don't often position myself to watch cricket these days, being in a non-cricket country, a bad timezone, and all that, but I was ready to rumble on this one in the only bar in my massive city that I know will hook cricket up.
