Very surprised that RSA have not made many changes. They could easily given some of the players sitting on the bench a chance.

Verreynne scored 90 odd in his last ODI and doesn't even get this dead rubber? That's poor.

Jansen was dropped for that over weight fat fuck. That was embarrassing. Criminal of South Africa. You have a future star in your squad who went wicketless in his debut game, and you drop him next match for a 31 year old never has been. Pathetic!
Just turned the TV on. This guy is fatter than Richie Kaschula and two of our u19's :lol:

He looks ok. Let me rephrase that - he looks to be a good bowler, but Jansen should be pissed!

India should finally win a game here, not going to let Magala, Phelukwayo, Maharaj and Pretorius beat us.

But he's not a good bowler. He's over weight he's doing nothing with the ball and he's 31. Why are we playing this guy?? Why can't Gerald Coetzee be recognised for the incredible fast bowling all rounder that he truly is? It's ridiculous.

Magala has to be the most ordinary bowler ever to have played for South Africa.

Maharaj is a good test bowler but in ODIs he can only play the role of a containing bowler, Shamsi is a wicket taking option, he must be the first option hands down, if they want to play a second spinner then also it should be George Linde.

Magala can crank it up to 140. Surely some of the old spinners are worse. Even Pretorious was bowling at 125 today

These commentators were talking like it's done and dusted but India are well in it. Chahar is batting beautifully.
Ya Magala'a inclusion is very poor. I'd love to see Coetzee play. Watched him at the St John's T20, he's a helluva player. That was the year Muyeye got 4 hundreds or something ridiculous in one T20 tournament, including a 170.

You'd think 10 and 11 in the Indian side could hold a bat better than that :lol:

That guy that looked like he bowled off the wrong foot wasn't international level either, forgetting his name. He had decent franchise stats but looked average on the big stage.
Hhm's favorite bowler.

Brilliant from South Africa.
Get rid of Magala and bring back somebody with a future. How 31 and is not! international standard. Yes, he can crank it up to 140, but if you're using that logic, so can Jansen and Coetzee. In fact, Coetzee and Corbin Bosh can both hit in excess of 90mph. He was there because he was black and was filling a quota, simple.
