The Indian team was depleted going in to the match, but most of the replacements performed adequately. Dhoni’s gamble of going in without a specialist spinner paid off in the end as Jadeja provided the star turn while Yusuf Pathan was a good back-up.

Raina’s bowling didn’t quite come off and Sehwag was unavailable, but with so many part time spinners, it would probably make sense to continue with them rather than take an additional spinner.

South Africa will face a dilemma with the selection of the playing eleven for this match. They made a strange selection by not picking the in-form Hashim Amla, but he should surely be in the starting line-up for this match. And those who think that Amla is only suited for Test matches, should take a look at his ODI stats – he averages 47.11 at a strike rate of 82.65 from 22 ODIs. To deprive a man who displayed such outstanding form in the Test series with such stats, was not only a strange decision, it was baffling.
