India's tour of South Africa 2013-14

I expect Zaheer, Shami & Bhuvi/Umesh in the opening Test.... Lets see, if they are able to make a difference.

Just hope that Zak doesn't get injured or unfit in the opening spell of the first day of the first test.

Thats the problem of Zaheer's career. He is injured several times.

Bowlers have always done well abroad. Its the batsmen who keep failing consistently. Only in the last couple of series, both failed collectively and hence the whitewash. I believe that the bowlers will do well, especially with the inclusion of Zak.

India for me are going to be playing with 2 batters short in tests let me explain how .. 1) Vijay will be useless and will scratch around for sometime and get out or then he will get out very early .. 2) If jadeja plays in the starting XI then I doubt he will perform as hes yet to score a 50 in tests I think on home soil and on Indian pitches its a different ball game as Dhoni and Ashwin can save team from any trouble but chances of this happening abroad are 25% .. This is where Gambhir was needed for opening with Dhawan as hes a proven player and another solid bat at no 6 is required .. I dont trust this Ajinkya Rahane either but he can perform if given a chance ..

Wont be surprised if we end up being 11 batsmen short

Zaheer should have been selected for the Odi's, as they are to played first

 

[mhsabir]

I think I saw his name in the ODI Squad as well?

Guess got confused by Moin's post I am thinking Cricinfo made an error and then later corrected it.
