Watched the India WI ODI today on TV.. and 1 word:

Stupidity!!

Why are we even bothering having this series. Absolute 1 sided contest the whole series, Indian batsmen looking like immortals..

Apart from it being 2-1 in the series and only winning with 3 overs? No exactly pointless is it?

Well I wasn't saying its 1-sided India's way..

Bowlers have no help from the pitches.. Dew plays a factor..

Pitches are absolutely so flat that even the legendery Garner would have had trouble getting the ball to bounce waist-high.

Such wickets make bowlers look like fools! Totally 1-sided to the batsmen.. IMO

India in South Africa will be an interesting tour to determine just how good India really is.

I think India on paper at least have the the edge in the One day matches, SA are not really particularly good as a One day side at present. Test matches will be very interesting to see how good the next generation of India (batting in particular) really is. Bowling remains a bit of a concern in both formats.

i am looking fwd to Ind vs SA tour

the WI games were a waste of time...i stayed up late nights to watch some games but then decided it better to sleep
would be interesting to see how the youth performs...hopefully my favorite Rahane plays well

Wonder if they can make a place for Rahane in the test team. Maybe a toss up between Jadeja (who was previously the no. 7 in the test team) and Rahane. I suspect Jadeja will retain the spot at least for the first test. Don't really see Rahane breaking into the one day matches.

I would really go with Rahane keeping in mind SA conditions.. Jadega is great playing in Indian conditions, and though another story abroad!
