170 odd for 5 is not a bad first innings. Kohli is still around and Ashwin can bat, I full expect India to get 250+ and win the game. SAs batsmen are so bad they will struggle to even get 150 here.

Jansen has destroyed us all series, serious find . What a dreadful batting lineup though.
Yeah, his action still looks a little "young MJ" in that there are a lot of moving parts, not fully refined yet. Once that's all in order he's going to be scary.

I really don't think this pitch is unplayable at all. 275-300 par afaic. I don't even think indias batsmen have done much wrong just not good enough to handle quality bowling. This might be the most consistently good Sa's attack has bowled this series.

Yeah this doesn't yell "240 par" pitch to me. Tricky but hardly unmanageable.

Plenty of value for shots too, ball clearly coming nicely onto the bat.

Sadly we've been relying on them a lot.
I doubt India are relying on Pant or Ashwin. The latter is a spinner who is a handy bat and Pant has a high score of 50 in his last 11 completed innings. Not exactly reliable.

But I repeat, SAs batting is so bad, this is not bad. Anything above 200 and I guarantee an India win.
