***Official*** South Africa in India 2015

[Teja.]

Today is such a great day.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Played Rahane. What little confusion I had seems to be evaporating real fast.

 

[Shri]

better to get 2 out by lunch

The pacers will probably bowl. So, that's unlikely to happen.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rahane ends up with an average of 53 this series lmao

Haha feels kinda wrong that Vijay, Pujara and AB got those runs on the toughest pitches in the series and Kohli and Rahane (obviously ) end up averaging higher than them for the series. Couple of FTBs imo

 

[Dissector]

It would be rather spectacular if Rahane's two hundreds in a test are the only hundreds scored by either side in the whole series. I doubt that has ever happened before.

Yeah for sure, then again those guys only have themselves to blame for not cashing in on the slightly better deck, tbf to Rahane and even Kohli I'd say this pitch had enough in it for the bowlers to keep them interested, especially in the first innings Rahane's knock was top quality.

Lol OS was joking with his FTB thing.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Rahane averaging 46.37 away from India and 7.83 at home.

Averaging a much more respectable 39.14 at home now, with two innings (one not out) making a huge difference.

I know, I was just saying...

 

[Anil]

if south africa apply themselves, they have the batsmen to bat out a day and a half...

 

[Shri]

Ash!

Pretty big if.

Presumably breakdown by venue will still exist so I don't think they'll be saying much different things to what we are now.

 

[Daemon]

Still get the feeling we'd narrowly lose to 2012 England because our batting wouldn't cope that well with Panesar and Swann, but I think it's safe to say that only Pakistan can beat us on home soil atm.

 

[Pratters]

Rahane WAG.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Why would you push like that against Ashwin

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah that was a really terrible shot. I'd argue that's a much worse shot than a big swipe across the line because there was no potential reward to it. It was basically a defensive shot with the risk of an attacking shot. Dire stuff.

Interesting that Pujara could average more than Pujara....

SA are trying their Adelaide and Joburg tactics again
