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

I won't know how to react if Pandya actually tons up here.

 

[Shri]

Oh ****, looks like there is turn on offer. Really hope Ashwin's finger isn't ****ed up.

 

[Niall]

Yeah. Can't underestimate the value of blunting the attack by facing all those deliveries even if he didn't make runs. Some contributions are not reflected in the scorecard. I thought he was very good.

He had a similar knock in the test that Laxman won a few years ago in SA. To someone just looking at the Scorecard, didn't look much, but was so important to blunt the Saffers and give Laxman some breathing space.

Get a Pandya haircut imo.

 

[Black_Warrior]

And this is where India is showing what a good test team they really are..just when they looked down and out of the game, they fight back

Bhuvi

 

[OverratedSanity]

Atleast were out of complete embarrassment territory for now.

 

[Shri]

Bhuvi should bat above Ash based on current form. Pandya at 6, Bhuvi at 7 and Ash at 8.

Bhuvi should bat above Ash based on current form. Pandya at 6, Bhuvi at 7 and Ash at 8.

Wtf Saha at 9? Bhuvi's not that good, this innings aside.

on foreign tours he has a bit of a habit to get out at the exact time when one feels he can now cash in, hopefully he can improve that aspect.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Get Pandya on strike against Maharaj ffs

 

[Burgey]

Why aren’t the SA bowlers just decapitating these numpties?

 

[Black_Warrior]

Bhuvi should bat above Ash based on current form. Pandya at 6, Bhuvi at 7 and Ash at 8.

India should follow Pakistan's lead and have whoever scores highest in the 1st innings bat above rest of the bowlers in the 2nd innings

Pandya's ramping their bouncers for 4s tbh

 

[Stefan9]

Elgar's drop costing us loads

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pandya hasn't had much strike in the last few overs. Can see a wicket coming.

 

[weldone]

what are you on about? there was a backstop for the shot that he took on and beat.

He was not in complete control. It was an edge - not fully deliberate imo.

 

[Shri]

Wtf Saha at 9? Bhuvi's not that good, this innings aside.

More about temperament than skill. Bhuvi has a better idea about building a test innings compared to Ash who likes to play his shots regardless of the match situation. Pays off at times when he's in good touch but mostly fails.

 

[harsh.ag]

India are going to lament not picking Umesh so much. Pandya to get stranded on 90 odd.

Hourly quota of **** off Kohli.

 

[srbhkshk]

In swinging conditions Bhuvi is actually better than some of our batsman.
