India fail first test of pace and bounce

[MKI 30]

lol name calling
dont be such sensitive..One day series is there to prove me right . Pakistan even with poor batting was able to won one day series in SA without any practice match and you are putting all blame of indian batsman not scoring runs on practice match

Is this about Pakistan? Where did i mention Pakistan? Everything is not Pakistan my friend. So what are you trying to imply? Just on a basis of series win, does Pakistan become better than India? Care to remind me what happened in Test to your team? Argument is its not for the lack of skill that India performed poorly in ODI's - Practice match and sheer luck play a huge part when you tour after being stuck in sub continent for a long time.

I was trying to imply that even without practice matches your batsman should have known that pitches on SA are bouncy that need different skills and approach of batting. Most of your batsman have experienced of playing on these pitches as they either played for national team or India A/ U19. This excuse of defeat is not valid excuse that we have lost two one day matches because we did not play any practice match before one days..OK first one day match was practice match then what about second one day match? you were going to lose third as well but rain saved you so better admit the fact instead of shifting blame else where

This is where you are wrong. Who in the Indian team has that kind of experience you are talking about? U19 is nowhere close. And who apart from MSD is touring SA for 2 or even 3 time? Hardly 2-3 players. You could do better!

Now you have come down to making conclusions on individual matches? So would it be right for me to say that Pakistan can never beat India in WC just because it has not done so in the past?

As for the 2 ODI you would know India did not get the complete 2 days for practice and had to train indoor. And you are sounding foolish to imply a single practice match is enough to beat the other team. It takes time getting used to. As for Pakistan you still did not answer my question. What happened in Test matches? Should i make a conclusion based on that?

And i am admitting it was poor performance by India but i was not satisfied with the reason you put out. Hence all the effort to correct you. Please go read your first post and see what impression it gives.

India is a fail team. They never won any ODI series in S.A while even WORLD'S poor batting team Pakistan won ODi series in south Africa . India is a joke team. They even can't stop single run. Club level fielding.

India under 19 won the world cup in South Africa under the leadership of virat kohli by beating south Africa

India also had series in SA in 2010/2011 which included players dhoni, ishant shrama, raina etc and you also have no clue about India A tour of south africa in AUG 2013 which included players like shikar dahwan, Pujara, vijay , raina, shami lol

You should not laugh after watching the one day series
you all were hiding when India was losing because of batting failure and now pujara was able to make 150 and here you all jumped in here

May be you missed Kohli's batting and our bowlers work.

Look at Steyn's bowling figures.

Hhahaha....ODI no. 1, Test no. 2. Go, cry somewhere else.

We ruled over SA in TEST match. SA is no. 1 in Tests.

I am not denying the fact that you have got some great batsman and i give credit where its due but i also criticize where they perform poor. They did perform poor in one days but did came back well in test match especially in second inning..again it was two man show so far..virat kohli in first and second inning and pujara in second

India U19 wining under VK was a long time back wasn't it? And how can you even put the two levels on the same page?

And just to put things in perspective we are talking of India's batting performance in ODI. And for most players it was the first time they were facing the SA bowling attack. From your own list of players only SD was present in the ODI and it was his first time at the highest level against the likes of Steyn and Morkel.

Can you come up with something even logical? Don't debate just for the sake of it!

I would be the last one to defend the defeat of my nation. It was just that your reasons were not solid enough and i thought of correcting them but sadly without any result.

India has played only 3 test matches there

won 1 and draw 2 ..this pitch has less bounce compare to other grounds of SA

well India has winning chance of 70 percent in this match. I don't see why they should not win this test unless their bowling is really pathetic..it was one man show of pujara that india was able to get this lead

I know that we've played less # of matches at tvenue but the fact is we haven't lost here. This pitch has enough for the bowlers. The cricket pundits have written India off on this pitch too.

It's not only Pujara played well, the others made difference too (Kholi and Zaheer). We only have one Good bowler in our team I.e Zaheer who is coming out from a lay off. Had we had a gbowling act, I would have been confident about pulling this off.

Historically, we never performance well in Initial matches on away tours andour overall record in SA is pathetic; tough it's slightly improving these days. At least we are winning a match against them.

There is nothing to hide from. At least we Indians dont make Tall Claims about Indian team, like the Pakistani brethren here. After making Tall Claims, when Pakistani team loses badly, you people run with your tail between your legs and don't come in that thread.

South Africa 358 for 4 (Amla 65, de Kock 135, de Villiers 77, Duminy 59*, Shami 3-68) beat India 217 (Dhoni 65, Steyn 3-25, McLaren 3-49) by 141 runs

These are not Indian flat pitches where you could chase 300 plus easily. This is South Africa's second biggest victory over India in terms of runs

I don't know how people manage to watch this boring sport...

there was no practice match before test series as well. how did pujara made 150 without any practice match? dont come up with silly excuse to cover up your defeat..accept it like man..If you give credit to batsman for scoring runs then also blame them for not scoring in one days series

Yea i started it because you guys only start when your team win or your batsman score runs

Are you effin kidding me?? This is the nastiest pitch in south Africa. Major teams have been bowled out for double digits on the first day.

And FYI, more than pujaa it is kohli who has played a more important part.

And he says only pujara and kohli played well. What about rahane's 40+ in the 1st innings and vijay's 30 odd, where he blunted the new ball attack. Only dhawan and rohit failed in this match.

If India wins, they say the opp. didn't play well, the pitch and the conditions favoring Indians. But when India loses they say the team is $#!t and bla bla bla..
