India Vs South Africa ODI series (March 2020)

Post by Sandeep »

First ODI at new stadium in Hyderabad :bounce: . Have to see how the pitch behaves. I think it would help bowlers a bit with all talks of importing clay from Australia and all. Or atleast there should be plenty of bounce.

The city of Hyderabad has been good for our batsmen, but all the previous matches have been played at different stadium (Lal Bahadur Stadium). Sachin, Dravid and Sehwag all has their individual highest scores in Hyderabad. Sachin scored centuries in last 2 matches India played at Hyderabad. Both simply stunning and magnificient!! The second one, he was in an absolute murderous mood and scored faster than Sehwag. And the first one was a magnificient 186* .I had a privilige of watching my GOD register the highest score by an Indian. Dravid scored 150 odd in the same match. Sad :( , this is the first cricket match I am missing among the ones played in Hyderabad :damn: . Wanted to badly see the new stadium which is considered to be one of the best with A/C dressing rooms, no pillars to obstruct view and all!!!

The stadium is not fully constructed, only 27,000 out of 60,000 seats are laid so far. And byt he way, watch out for Sania in the gallery :wink: , she is sure to come there!!

India using their supersub. Gambhir in. I am missing the match man. How the hell can it swing so much on an Indian pitch!!!

Hyderabad guys must be crazy. It would be great if it behaves the same way in second innings too!! I hope it is not like other Indian pitches, where if it swings in first innings, is going to be absolute belter in the second.

The ground seems to be a bit slow...but the pitch is a bit erractic. Lot of movement off the seam with a odd ball keeping low..and some rising sharply.

It seems that Sachin was not out...atleast this is what it looked to me..and to the commentators. But that is of no use now. Yuiv is looking good..lets hope he can take India to a decent total.

What a god-almighty mess! But Yuvi and Pathan are restoring some order now...85/5 in the 24th over.
The panicky decision to suddenly replace Kartik with Gambhir (the super-sub) was truly ludicrous.

Just because the decision didn't work to our advantage , you cannot say that it was ludicrous...!

BTW, England losing 3 quick wkts.... interesting match that...! Kaneria coming to the party when it matters...!

PKB, I don't think spinner would have done much on this pitch. I think it was a good decision.

How is pitch acting now? Is it still swinging the same way?

Heard Dravid's (which he got out) is delivery of the year ??

Dravid's was by no means Delivery of the year...! It swung a little which Dravid failed to read and ended playing down the wrong line...! It looked like a lazy shot and there was a lot of gap between bat and pad...! good delivery but by noe means great...!

Pitch has eased out considerably, as expected....!

Hmm, but going through the gate, tht too Dravid's should be something to talk about. How did Sachin get out? Was it a good delivery?

And Sriram, how to subscribe to sgstream.
