India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI

The good thing about the last ball win in the previous match is that it exposed the folly of going in with only three specialist bowlers in the playing XI. I don’t understand why we need eight batsmen to bat out 50 overs, especially when batting is our strength. On the other hand, more often than not we have seen one or more of our specialist bowlers have a mediocre outing. Going with one bowler less only further exposes the weakness in the bowling department. Hopefully, one of the specialist spinners – Mishra/Ashwin will replace Yusuf Pathan for today’s game.
