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

[centurymaker]

India in South Africa:

Test record:
3 wins, 7 draws, 10 losses

Have won or drawn: 50% of tests.
Have drawn a series and come close to winning on a couple of occasions.


ODI record vs South Africa in South Africa
(prior to this series)

5 Wins
21 Losses

yes 21!
Thus winning 5 in 26 completed ODIs, ratio of less than 1 win in every 5 games. Absolutely atrocious record. So with ABD and Faf injured, India finally have a perfect opportunity to set this record straight! Must win this series now.

 

[TT Boy]

Be tempted to drop Amla down the order and have Markram open with de Kock. Middle order with no AB or Faf looks very weak.

 

[Stefan9]

Markram named captain for rest of the series.

Markram named captain for rest of the series.

That is a big move.... with Duminy, Amla and Miller in the squad. Clear indication of where they see Markram's future.

Well hash doesn't want to captain and I certainly would pick markram as captain above the other 2.

Good and brave call from Ottis and co.

I like this call. It reminds me of Graeme Smith's appointment - although Markram isn't going to be a regular captain yet.

 

[Stefan9]

Extreme luck there for Qdk.

He needs some....

 

[vcs]

Amla plays a gorgeous cover drive and given out next ball. Reviewed though.

 

[Stefan9]

QDK doesn't last. He gives it away and SA in trouble.

 

[Shri]

Hope this two leggies thing pays off in England next year.

 

[vcs]

Hahahahaha

 

[Stefan9]

Markram copies qdk...very silly cricket

They'll take 5-fers in every match with batsmen holing out at deep midwicket.

 

[vcs]

Miller is just **** against spin.

 

[Shri]

Rahane, wag.

 

[Shri]

Will SA even make enough runs for Kohli to get another 100 in this series?

Well?

 

[weldone]

Markram copies qdk...very silly cricket

Indeed. He'll be very cross with himself.

 

[Shri]

I should probably put some money on Rabada top scoring in this innings.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good stuff. Well on our way to a 3-2 series lead today.
