Yeah the gambhiring police are worse than the gambhirers imo.

nah i don't think it's gambhiring, i just think it's hilarious

2 idiots gone.One to go

Oh good you're leaving the thread?

Kohli needs to just go ODI mode and not worry about nicking off. Just bring out those wristy cover drives.

That's not what brought him success the last time he was here.

 

[harsh.ag]

They have to hit out if they want to win. A quick 30 so much more likely than a staid 20.

 

[Top Cat]

After all those matches of drubbing people at home, a matchwinning innings here is when legends will be made. Could it be Hardik again?

That was before Anderson tore out his soul.

 

[Tec15]

you lot are seriously the most pessimistic group of fans on this website, it's wild

Just blatant Gambhiring.

if anything i'm curious whether any batsman takes the approach of just not playing any front foot shots on the offside unless they're almost full tosses

 

[Black_Warrior]

If Kohli gets India over the line on this pitch, he will reduce the gap with Smith by a large distance

This partnership needs to be atleast 80-90 imo. There's no trustworthy batsmen after this pair.

 

[Burner]

Kohli's not going to score 10 runs on this pitch. Just doesn't look like he can score runs here.

chases are weird tbf. could just as well have a few extremely jammy 50s that suddenly slice the target in half.

 

[oblongballs]

I still think this is India's game to lose. As the afternoon wears on, the conditions will only get better for batting and the skies have also cleared. The pitch will dry up and sill offer some pace and bounce, but it should be enough to contend with.

right, gambhiring would be if you were 0/150 and then lost two wickets and then "welp, we've lost, no hope now". this is not that.

 

[Tec15]

India are hardly out of it considering SA are down to three pace bowlers. With such low totals all it takes is one or even two batsmen to come of. It's like people missed India's first innings. I wouln't start feeling confident about SA until India are eight down.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Very disappointed in Vijay in both innings. He's a good enough leaver of the ball without trying to bat like Smith.

 

[Gob]

Virat looking nice here

 

[StephenZA]

Bavuma would have run him out...

 

[Spark]

not sure suicide singles are advisable in this scenario
