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

So then, how have they ****ed it up

I think there must be a misunderstanding because it seems really obvious to me and I have no idea what "Bowling teams out for <50" has to do with anything

Bsaically they should have more wickets on this pitch, dropped catch, not reviewing wickets, bowled a lot of loose trash. After given a golden opportunity to get first use of the wicket with the ball. It's not that complicated.

Fair enough, but even if they'd taken those chances, not necessary they'd be into the tail.

It's not hard to imagine that they could have had 5+ wickets in the first session alone given conditions and the opportunities they created

 

[StephenZA]

Really good 50 from Kohli... taken his chances.

 

[Contra]

So Kohli's pretty much mastered SA conditions then. Neat record over 5 tests so far. That England series is gonna be huge for him as a batsmen.

 

[StephenZA]

Good catch that.... glad it was not dropped, now lets clean them up quick. Good ball as well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Apart from Sachin there's no other Indian batsman who's had anywhere near the success that Kohli's had in SA. Would be good if he could win us a game or two like VVS though.

Edit: Ah ****

He's a better batsman now imo. That series is going to be huge for India too. This SA team >> current Eng team

We have a good chance of winning a couple of matches there.

 

[vcs]

Time for batsmen not named Kohli to step up and take us to 250 somehow.

 

[StephenZA]

You can feel right now is how important Maharaj is to the SA team.... being able to bring on a spin bowler for some decent variation is so important.

 

[Heboric]

Kohli --> Ngidi's bunny

 

[StephenZA]

Wow... South Africa poor disciplines today.

 

[Contra]

man that's a huge save.

 

[StephenZA]

Rahane not looking good here, very tentative... probably score 100.

 

[StephenZA]

Going down leg? Phew...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nicely done

 

[StephenZA]

Nicely done

Thanks... took 15 min to work though.
