OUTPLAYED AGAIN

This has certainly turned out to be one of India’s worst overseas tours in recent times. They put in a slightly better show with the bat, but were again pathetic and listless with the ball, as they went down to a dominant South Africa by seven wickets in the second ODI at Boland Park in Paarl on Friday night.

The defeat which made the scoreline 2-0 in the favour of the Proteas, saw them lose the ODI series with the final game still left to be played in Cape Town on Sunday. Coming on the back of the 2-1 loss in the Test series to the hosts, this hugely disappointing result marks another low for new India coach Rahul Dravid in his first overseas assignment.

Choosing to bat after winning the toss, India lost ‘former captain’ Virat Kohli for a rare ODI duck, but finished at 287 for six thanks to a blazing knock by Rishabh Pant (85, 71b, 10zx4, 2x6), a ‘calm’ 55 by standin captain KL Rahul (55, 79b, 4x4), and a fine rearguard, 48-run unbeaten seventh wicket stand between Shardul Thakur (40 not out, 38b, 3x4, 1x6) and Ravichandran Ashwin (25 not out, 24b, 1x4, 1x6).

Song and dance there, but where is Brazil's soul?

From swooning over the twirling foot of Richarlison the other day, to fretting over the ankle of Neymar, it is back to business for Brazil. Gone is the exultation to dance and express themselves.
