@ superBul:
The scary thing about the victory is that their main spinner took 4/13 in 3.2 overs for India and we’ll be facing him next. Will our boys be able to cope?
@ Clovis:
This 20/20 thing called Cricket can really turn any way, in a flash you are in trouble.
Maybe our fast bowlers could surprise the Indians, i cant see us beating them with spin.
They know spin. And we dont have enough good enough spinners
@ superBul:
True, it is anybody’s game on any given day.
I still think that if Tahir and Duminy can go for less than 50 in 8 overs, (with Duminy bowling a full compliment of 4 instead of just 1 or 2 overs), they would’ve done a good job. Let the quickies share the remaining 12 overs.
