*Official* South Africa in India, Sep/Oct 2019

umeshs idol must have been waqar younis surely? Has the same smooth, skiddy action and gets wickets in a similar way too.

 

[ankitj]

Umesh in superman mode in this game!

 

[silentstriker]

Don’t run on a misfield dude. Of all the ways to get out...

SA seem mentally over this tour.

 

[SeamUp]

Linde can hold a bat. It has surprised me he didn't get a limited overs look in.

Nicely batted by Zubayr earlier.

 

[Stefan9]

It's crazy isn't it? Unless he really had a knee injury he should have been in there.

Should have been playing 7 bats instead of a bits and pieces allrounder at 7.

He had to have been injured. Only explanation.

 

[harsh.ag]

Follow on enforced. Ashwin goes wicket less.

 

[Starfighter]

About what I expected. Has anyone ever been made to follow on twice in a row in Asia? Heck, when's the last time it happened anywhere?

Answer: Sri Lanka vs India two years ago. lol.

 

[ankitj]

Rohit has first innings lead of 50 over SA

 

[morgieb]

Hamza averages 50 in FC cricket which is really impressive for someone batting on SA decks..

Ehhh, you have to remember a lot of that would come from 3-day stuff which is erranously considered FC cricket.

Also SA domestic decks are actually quite flat IIRC.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Well that was a good rock

 

[_00_deathscar]

Beautiful ball.

 

[h_hurricane]

SA opening partnership has averaged 4.83 this series. Is this an all time record ?

 

[duffer]

So when did Umesh become a beast?

Snorting fire out them nostrils these days

 

[OverratedSanity]

So good. And he doesn't even get to play many tests. India's bowling depth is amazing.

 

[SeamUp]

De Kock has had two really good balls in this game.

SA batsmen have been poor this series but our fast bowlers haven't been anywhere near as good as India's too which is a concern. Considering their best fast bowler isn't even playing.

The home series against England in 2016 he was really good but somehow ended up averaging 65 or something through a combination of lots of dropped catches and bad umpiring off his bowling. Since that series, he's been consistently good. Especially at home.

Only in this test. Ishant did play the first two.

 

[duffer]

Oh god.

So so good

 

[_00_deathscar]

Jesus...another.
