438!!! A mammoth total to chase down?

Do India have the batsmen to chase?
Is this pitch really that dead it's possible?

Or will steyn rabada and morkel be too much for them??(Indians bowling was poor)

Pointless game. AB is one of the best batsmen I've seen though as he can also bat properly.

It is though. Aus vs NZ in the World Cup was the best one day game I've seen because it was a contest. I just don't get why these types of game appear to be 'great' when the result is predictable.

If the results are so predictable, go make a killing at the bookies.

No because Morkel isn't playing, your point still stands though.

Good point, I didn't actually look at the sides(I'm skipping between games!

That de kock catch was Wordly!!

AB de Villiers is a freak of nature. Perhaps the most talented batsman I've ever seen

South Africa won a bilateral series away in India! That is an achievement. It can't be a pointless match just because it was one sided in the end. The epic 438 match between SA and AUS many would have also said the result was going to be predictable at the innings break.

One great game doesn't mean it's good. Anyway, I suspect we like different games of cricket and it's obvious the modern trend is wanting high scoring games. Is it good for the game? I suspect some say yes, some say no.

The hitting was clean and good but 99% of the time there is only one winner and watching India try and compete in their innings was a bit meh, you just knew they wouldn't do it. I took smileys advice and out �20 on it and only got �2 profit as the bookies thought the same

It was an interesting pitch
Series level at 2-2 last game of the series.
Both have decent batting line ups(SA probably just win out du to de villiers)
But sa's bowling is in a different leagues to Indians.

So what was the thinking behind a very very flat pitch, was hey hoping to win the toss, bat first put a similar score on and hope SA choked the chase??
As to me on a flat track, the quality of the SA side would score big regardless off when they batted.

Interested note, apart from the mammoth 437, the top score in this series was 316. Which isn't that large going on recent games.

I am true cricket fan from India and I hate what BBCI has done in last 3-4 years.
I hope India losses every single tournament for some time to come and I really wish IPL will go to dogs miraculously!!
