De Kock's only being considered as a number 7 and WK.

So he'd replace JP.

Faf's averaging 55, so he's not gonna get dropped.

If Alviro gets dropped, Dean Elgar will replace him

Don't rate Tahir at all, think the only reason jp continues to get selected is to give the offspin option.

Yeah tell me about it...

Tahir's long hops nearly killed Amla yesterday 

And yeah JP's continually spoken of as an 'all rounder', do me a favour...

Batsmanship first job is to get runs.

Tahir's free runs given yesterday could probably be the difference in this match.
Yup JP has too many batting flaws. Nothing in his technique has changed at all to fix them.

I think Tahir's problem is that he gets over excited when playing against Pak and India..he tries too many things like a struggling actor auditioning for a big movie. He should try to settle down first and then try all his variations.

Typical dhoni captaincy. Letting easy runs leak. Always struggled to wrap the tail up

[Jason_Yuan]

Dont think Tahir worth his place, too ups and downs and he try too many variations, would really like to see de kock coming into the test side, great batsman

Also anyone surprised by ishant sharma performance recently, one of the top performing bowler for india in the odi n now in test

Well, he was the laughing stock of the world till recently so yes, a big surprise!! He had the talent but lacked application.

Very good bowler and finally playing well lol

Thank the heavens firstly Ashwin shelled a dolly of Biff, who went on to add a further 40 odd.

Then thankfully Rohit Sharma dropped a dolly of Faf. Considering how well Faf can bat with the lower order, the Proteas could make the Indians pay.

Agree.. both these will cost India dear, it looks long like.
From the way Sami bowled, its clear India will need pacers who can bowl at 140+ speed consistently.

With morkel injured and probably out of this match, tahir's going to have to bowl some proper overs without bowling those pies he normally bowls.

Luckily the Proteas have King Kallis able to do a job with the ball. Otherwise the Proteas would be screwed.

India will be licking their lips when the pie chucker comes on...

Looks as though Morne could be out of the series. And we're looking short on fast bowlers...

Kleinveldt, Tsotsobe and McLaren would be likely candidates.

de Lange still can't get to full fitness. And Abbott seems to have fallen out of favour.

Kallis got the ball talking nicely out there.
Probably be tsotsobe, he always takes wickets against the Indians.

Vijay must be the worst opener ever. He must have some contacts to continuely get selected.

Problem with Tsotsobe is he's a one spell bowler.

Plus once the ball gets old, his 126kph bowling is cannon fodder.

For me it would be Ryan McLaren. He's been awesome in ODIs this year. Plus he's got a CSA central Test contract.
