***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

[Black_Warrior]

South Africa's batting is always susceptible for a collapse..home or away doesn't matter. 2006, 2010, 2013 all have at least 1 collapse.

 

[Shri]

There will be another edge. Kohli will drop it and then there will be a 200 run stand.

"This is not what the Indian players would have expected and they must be delighted" STFU Haysman, obviously you haven't watched Bhuvi bowl in helpful conditions.

Right. It's not suprising one bit what he's doing here. These are ridiculously good bowling conditions. The problem for him has always been after the seam movement goes away.

 

[TT Boy]

What South Africa would give for a Bavuma fifty.

 

[vcs]

We dropped this guy for Stuart ****ing Binny once ffs

I remember Binny getting some useful wickets in that game though (in case you are referring to the 3rd Test against SL in 2015).

 

[Contra]

haha was that Kohli saying to Shammi that you are bowling way outside off and bowl the fisrt ball on the stumps? Love it

 

[Daemon]

Hahaha Kohli yelling at Shami to bring the first one back in because he's saying it's going away as if Shami has any control over what he's doing right now.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Hope SA collapse and we get to see their pace attack asap.

Does gambhiring work in opposite ways when directed at the opposition?

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's a huge huge wicket. Aside, Amla was my star player in fantasy and I didn't take Bhuvi. So probably going to lose that money but still happy

You deserve to lose money you heathen

Well, our home conditions can be testing.

 

[Contra]

Shammi bowling well now. Also guys its Faf on strike not AB. Geez the comms today lol

 

[Firebreaker]

240 will be enough if SA can get India out for 50 odd

 

[Niall]

Shammi bowling well now. Also guys its Faf on strike not AB. Geez the comms today lol

all white people look the same tbf

 

[Black_Warrior]

AB now thinking why did I come back to Test cricket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good thing we didn't leave out the best slip fielder in the world from the team.

Oh.

 

[SeamUp]

What South Africa would give for a Bavuma fifty.

Someone had to say it !

Although selection was right I don't think the decision at the toss was right.

Even with the lack of moisture the top surface with a bit of live grass will nibble at Newlands. They should have bowled.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Much better from Shami.

 

[Shri]

Bounce doesn't look like it will threaten our bats from what we have seen so far. Maybe after a bit of sunshine it will be different. Hopefully the movement dies down by then.

 

[vcs]

Let's not get too excited, Lakmal had India in this exact same position at Eden Gardens.

 

[Daemon]

I thought after getting married Bhuvi wouldn't have to use his wrist much and his bowling would suffer but it appears his honeymoon probably didn't go that well.
