I just hope saffa destroy India

[Mr Cricket]

Harris is in the side to give control and tie up an end, which is ok when youve got steyn and morkel alongside him, but eventually, you look at harris' inability to trouble top order batsmen and i'd say hes not a test match bowler.

[Mr Cricket]

Smith gone to Khan again, definitely some needle between those two!

I read on cricinfo that Tahir is now qualified to play for SA so i'd imagine Harris is going to have some serious spin competition

[Jeet]

Harris is a controlling spinner, an Ashley Giles if you will. Imran Tahir makes Swann look like a defensive spinner. He'll go for a few runs, but I'd back him to make mincemeat of the Indian line-up, or most others for that matter. Extremely talented bowler, ridiculously highly rated by the English counties.

Mincemeat of the Indian line up? Funny guy. Tahir couldn't cut it in Pakistan, hence why he moved to SA.

Really? Because from what I've read, seen and heard, Pakistan have massive selection issues, and he didn't get a run out, when big names in Pakistan had been calling for him to have a go. It's disillusionment Jeet, KP suffered the same thing. And the Indian line-up, for all it's past glories, looks fragile. He's a very talented spinner, numerous counties were scrambling to get his signature on their contracts. Should prove a force for SA, he has outstanding stats and several write-ups have confirmed his talent.

for those of you who doubt tahir, cast your mind back to the pro40 final...

If he was seriously any good, why didn't he ever displace Kaneria(whom most Pakistanis I know hate with a passion)?

Only people in Pakistan who wanted him the national side where his coaches. His commitment has all ways been questioned. He changes teams every year, so he's not much of a team player.

India may struggle vs guys like Steyn and Morkel, but any spinner will be dealt with

[Mr Cricket]

India bowling well here, best ive seen Sharma bowl in ages

[Jeet]

Finally Amla's luck runs out! Gone for 59!

On another day he could've been out on 5 different occasions!

[Mr Cricket]

im not looking to stir up an argument here, but if were talking about lucky batsmen, noone takes more risks than sehwag!

[roco]

Plus no one takes fewer than kallis which is why every team needs one or his type of player

Amla didn't take risks tho! 3 x inside edges that on another day would knock leg pole out the ground. 2 x leading edges just missing fielders!

As with Sehwag - if you don't buy a ticket, you can't win the raffle. In Sehwag's case, he winsthe raffle more often than not!

[Mr Cricket]

luck is luck! different types of luck, Sehwag putting it in the hands of the gods on his own accord, but luck none the less!
