Who was the dunce who dropped Akeal Hosein so Chase could play?

Was it the captain or the Sole selector who made this foolish call?

Oh I see. it was "tactical reasons" because the person who made the call felt that the left handed Saffie batsmen will have problems playing the off spin of Chase.

Chase bowled 4 overs for 46 runs and got 1 wicket....

@Trex

how much wickets did anyone else get? Hosein just got caned in SA before the world cup. It was a fair decision

@Trex

Chief Selecta said, "Ravi."

@methodic

Hosein was not bowled in the power play in SA

Also India is not South Africa

Finally in all the games so far in the WC Hosein has been on point

That is why the decision was dotish

@Trex

Bro this is not Roston of the past.This Chase just bowls. Doesn't bowl off-spin, doesn't grip the ball tight, doesn't spin it. Just turns his arm over. He bowls Slow Right Arm. 😃And it is not like SLA which at least turns.😃. His doesn't drift, hang nor turn anymore

@Trex

Hosein got mauled in RSA recently where he went at 11 an over and got only 3 wickets. Yes Chase to the lefties was the right move.

@pariaman

The pitch was similar to the South african pitches as it had good bounce, pace and it was true. Plus South Africa has played 4 of their 5 games here so they were very familiar with this ground. I am waiting to see how they will perform on a pitch that offers some turn.

These World Cup fixtures are in South Africa s favour.

It's their tournament to lose right now.

But Chase was selected to dismiss QDK and he did.

I would have sooner dropped Joseph but
