First ODI - India SA

India staring down the barrel at the moment. 85/8 and I will be real surprised if they can take the total past 100. But not all is doom and gloom. Two straight changes for the next ODI: Sehwag for Jaffer and Irfan for Raina.
Sure, the Proteas are all over the Indians at the moment,but I wonder how long this will last.Given the conditions in Durban, something like this was expected. However, there is a sameness to the Proteas bowling line up, and given a slightly less inimical wicket, I will back the Indians to push the Proteas real hard.
There will be a lot of breast beating about this performance, but I take heart from the fact that the bowlers, for the most part, kept it tight and Sachin Tendulkar looks in ominous form.
So 1-0 to the South Africans, and onto Cape Town we go..win the toss and bat first Rahul!!!
As an aside, the Poms play the Roos today Down Under.. Ashes or something it is called :)
