cricket with balls

I wrote this great article about India taking 5 bowlers in again, how it weakens their tail but shows they really wanna win the game.

It involved calling Powar Chubbs Peterson.

Questioning Dhoni as a number 6 test batsman.

Making jokes about how excited the South African Quicks would be bowl to a tail that starts at 6.

Ofcourse all of this was useless when Yuvraj was brought in for Anil.

But then i said this, and this still makes sense.

The curator has levelled the playing field by giving India a pitch that will spin sideways.

Probably so he doesn’t get burnt at the stake like the last curator did.

Even so, if India’s top order fails, there is simply nothing stopping another all out collapse.

With the spin friendly conditions I expect Harbhajan to get 14 wickets.

Why, because he always gets wickets in India on raging turners, and he may get fired up from his golden duck to the evil Morne Morkel’s yorker.

It’s on wickets that aren’t raging turners outside of India he struggles.

And what the fu©k I say India to win a game that is over after 3 and a half days.

A draw means South Africa don’t win and that is something I always like.
