I was a bit surprised to look up the South African team touring India and not see name of Andre Nel. Andre Nel has been a thorn in India’s flesh in the past and somehow seems to do his best against India. In this context, it is indeed surprising to see him being omitted. As is the norm for visiting teams, two spinners have been picked – both are luxuries defensive left armers who I expect will over the wickets at leg stump.
Development of Dale Steyn is great news for South Africa and with his pace can trouble the best even on benign wickets. The bowling otherwise looks thin and South Africa may struggle to bowl out India twice.
Watch out for preview of the series coming up around 25 March 2008
