Ishant's wrist and release have gone to pot over the years. Insane how we keep returning to him.
And given how passionate Kohli is about fitness (singled out this as one of the main reasons for not matching up to SA last time around IIRC), it's strange he is backing Shami so much.He was pretty good after a bad first spell in the first Test tbh. Awful here though. His fitness level is atrocious.
SA should get way more out of itWould take 330 but man oh man we should have got 400+
Well he's obviously looking like a different bowler today. He's bound to remain enigmatic I reckon; should be a prime case for a sports psychologist to finally earn his keep.And given how passionate Kohli is about fitness (singled out this as one of the main reasons for not matching up to SA last time around IIRC), it's strange he is backing Shami so much.
Anyway, he has taken a wicket now. Doesn't change the analysis though.
Slowish pitch, collapse (that he helped create, to be fair)... Seems like sensible batting from over here.You need to do a little bit better than 29 off 106 in a first innings.
