Four incidents that made Cuttacks cricket misbehaviour look tame

The Proteas have already wrapped up the three-match series being two-nil up, after wins in Dharmasala and Cuttack, with one game to play, in Kolkata on Thursday.

South Africa ultimately secured a six-wicket win over the hosts to take an unassailable 2-0 lead within the three-match collection.

The first match ended in being a loss to India even after posting a huge target of 200 for the South Africans which they chased in 19.4 overs due to their talented batting line-up.

Cuttack:A struggling India put up a pathetic batting display to be skittled out for a paltry 92 in 17.2 overs against South Africa in the second cricket Twenty20 worldwide, here today. With heavy rains lashing the area in the course of the most recent couple of days, there would be worry over the ground conditions in front of the match.

“I don’t think it’s nice for cricket”.

For South Africa, Albie Morkel comes in for Marchant de Lange. “At times you get reactions like this, but we should not read too much into it”.

“We have played a lot of cricket and lot of guys have not been successful at No 6”.

South African batsman Farhaan Behardien said on Sunday that the team is experimenting with AB de Villiers’ battling position under a strategy for upcoming T20 World Cup, according to Free Press Journal. India are going to have to overcome the disappointment of losing a close match, and they will need to do so quickly. “Easy punishment…Don’t let them host internationals for a few years…”, former England captain Michael Vaughan wrote on Twitter.

While South Africa, despite the quality of Imran Tahir, will bank on their seam-up bowlers, the tenor of India’s attack will surely be spin.

At Dharamsala, when it was expected that India would post around 220 after Rohit and Kohli’s 138-run partnership in 72 balls, India managed just 41 runs from last five overs with Dhoni in the middle.

“We did not bat well at all”, he said.

But the pressure of ressurecting the sagging run rate ultimately got to them. India will be keen to avoid a series whitewash, while South Africa will be eager to continue with their winning ways.

The Proteas sauntered to a six-wicket victory but not before match referee Chris Broad had ordered organisers to provide additional security forces in the packed stands of the 45,000-capacity venue.

However, the most disturbing thing about this match are the Indian fans who started throwing tons of caps on the field by witnessing the poor performance of the Indian players.

Dhoni has been criticized for keeping Rayudu in the team ahead of Rahane and he may be forced to make the change.
