***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

[Neil Pickup]

5/16. England-esque.

 

[Prince EWS]

I know it's just his technique when he gets beaten but that just looked so unbelievably casual.

No I take that back. He just cbf moving his feet or getting his bat around in time there; he was genuinely napping. Weird.

 

[Cabinet96]

Anyone else noticed India have had three different first slips this series already

 

[Prince EWS]

No Robbie P to randomly come in and look like a #4 batsman could hurt here.

 

[Daemon]

This is great. Just stop the match here I'm so insanely happy right now.

 

[indiaholic]

What a wonderful day.. Feels sooo good.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Time for ABDV to shed that downhill skier tag

Once again, didn't quite happen.

This is where it gets really annoying though. Need to wrap this up quickly and get a good lead. Would be a tragedy if someone comes up with a Peterson vs Pakistan type innings

 

[Cabinet96]

The umpires having a chat never leads to anything other than going upstairs does it?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Please be out

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not even close

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Haters are gonna hate and some are tasting it today.

 

[Jarquis]

Jeez, what even is this session. Hoping Faf gets a few.

 

[MW1304]

I for one did not see that AB dismissal coming...

 

[MW1304]

Also this is hilarious, I don't even care that Ishant has bowled well.

 

[MW1304]

We'll still run through them in the 4th imo

Smith factor, man.

 

[Maximas]

India need a lead of over 50 IMO, the SA attack could run through India in the second dig and be facing a fairly small chase if India don't press home their advantage, this match illustrates what I'm afraid of from an Indian POV

 

[Contra]

Damn you philander, dude can play some proper shots. Need a lead of at least 50-60.

 

[Prince EWS]

Faf has only faced one of the last 18 deliveries. Not what he needed given he was basically batting with a needle beforehand. I reckon he could well get out this over.

 

[Jarquis]

Ashwin somewhat overdue IMO. Philander was looking more and more comfortable against the seamers.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Smith factor, man.

You're right there... But I'm betting on Zaheer to get him early I'm the 2nd dig... Was very lucky this innings
