Re: India vs. South Africa @ Melbourne Feb 22, 2015
What India is badly missing is runs by the late-middle order. They would be even stronger with Yuvraj in the team. Some Indians I know accuse Dhoni and Srinivasan of favouring CSK players like Jadeja. SA recovered from 80 odd for 4 against Zimbabwe because they bat deep (I know Miller is not going to score a hundred every time). Australia bat deep too. India has a fine top and middle order but a thin late middle order and tail. Those 20-25 runs that they did not make towards the end could still cost them the game. This looks a good batting surface
