To my amazement, I have got it right so many times. Its just predictions so maybe at times, you are bound to 'predict' wrong. Ah..
India is playing SA and who is the favorite? There are too many similarities between the teams about the way they themselves go vertigo. Ahh..
Smith says India favorite. Lets see. Batters?
Prince is not in good form and so is JP Duminy. We have Badrinath and Vijay. If something terrible does not happen, we are not going to miss Dravid for a large part (as this is India only) and we are actually better missing YV. Both battings look impregnable but so often they do themselves in. So nothing to choose really here. Except that they have not got Sehwag and Dhoni. Rest, India match man to man except tailenders.End word- Neutral.
Bowlings: In India, we need to see how effective Styne and Morkel are going to be. Parnell.. They might open with him as he is the swing bowler they have. One thing is for sure, despite the pace, if these people do bowl back of length, reputations notwithstanding, Sehwag will chop them. They need to bowl fuller here. they have got only one reliable spinner,Dumniny. if the pacers don't bowl well, Harrises will be taken for a ride. Another factor is I am not sure how good these people bowl reverse swing. Looking at India, Ishant is giving hints of form. Zaheer is going to be No 1 pacer from both sides. So, if Ishant does not bowl wayward or rather hits proper length, India will be fine. But again, he can be the weak link. I think if SA does not attack him from the outset(consider track also), they are stupid. Best way to get rid of Ishant is to hit him out.
chapter 2 tomorrow maybe
