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

[SeamUp]

Can't see him been that interested in those series and to be honest they don't need him for either series. I could understand if he wants to focus on limited overs cricket for what is left in his career.

He either retires after this summer or after the test summer after the WC. We have an away trip to India and home series to England.

Two series to put things right especially if things have gone well and are going well.

Love Kohli. He is really ticking and I think Elgar is just running on the pitch now to piss him off even more.

 

[vcs]

Bumrah has bowled well TBF.

 

[vcs]

Well played AB. Top innings.

 

[Black_Warrior]

The runs that AB got in this series and moments in the game that he got them in..incredible stuff. Amazing batsman.

 

[Boris_Dog]

AB you biscuit!

 

[OverratedSanity]

Taking the game away so quickly.

 

[TT Boy]

Two sensational knocks from AB this series. Series defining and not more than 100 runs scored.

 

[Bahseph]

Kohli and Shastri straight to the match referee. Didn't know that sort of thing was allowed?

 

[TT Boy]

Bumrah has bowled well TBF.

Comes alive in the third innings. Been very impressive.

 

[Spark]

proper strop from kohli here. takes after ponting in so many ways.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Look at Shastri standing there like Kohli's yes man

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yessss go and bullying the match referee this is great.

 

[Spark]

i don't actually know what he's complaining about here. is he complaining about having gone on, or now having to come off?

 

[Heboric]

People at Wanderers will be sweating if the test is going to take place at all

I think he will play all 3 formats till the World Cup. Given the break he has had, I don't see him picking and choosing series again. However irrespective of how the World Cup goes, I don't see him continuing. If SA win it, he would have achieved the one cricketing goal that motivates him. If they don't, I think he will be too emotionally drained to continue and realistically he is not playing till 2023.

I think he is complaining about the ball. I think he wanted to change the ball and the umpires didn't go ahead and change it?

 

[Bahseph]

I understand Kohli being annoyed. Especially if the ball got wet. *But* have the officials done anything against the law of the game? I mean we had one over before lunch yesterday. Cricket is weird.

It's annoying, but this is the logical outcome of spectators/broadcasters/fans complaining to high heaven that cricket generally takes way too long to restart play after a rain delay. Corners will be cut sometimes, the show must go on etc

Why on earth would he want this ball changed though? It's darting around.
