India played really.
SA lacked any real penetration. Didn't help that chances we created weren't taken.

Mate India isn't winning this match as Day 2 is going to be a washout. See the odds, they are only paying 1/2 for a draw. Draw written all over this match mainly because of the weather (and perhaps also the flatish nature of the pitch).

There's just about 8 sessions left in the match!! We are losing whole of day 2 and at least the last session and a bit on day 5, if not more.

When India resumes batting on Day 3, they have two sessions to try and get close to 480-500. This will leave them with 5-6 sessions for bowling south africa out twice and would need to enforce the follow on!! Without the follow on, it'll be a draw as it will leave small amount of time for 4th innings.

There are quite a few annoying things about cricket (certain rules and stuff) but what takes the cake is when it rains in summer.

No wonder the game was discovered by the English.

Thats why no other European nation adopted the sport! (Unlike Football)

Back in the day, over a 4 or 5 match series, you would see a result in about 1 match perhaps, if lucky.

Games would inevitably end in a draw. So other nations probably thought it was crazy that - you waste 5 days and still find no winner

Luckily now, we see few drawn games, maybe 1 in 4-5

Need some sorta play today.. I think we will see a result if that happens otherwise we have to expect a collapse. Although surviving day 5 here won't be easy at all but need at least 60-70 overs to bowl a side out.

this is the live weather in pretoria 20 odd kms away from centurion:


birds haven't looked for shelter yet to avoid the rain so i guess the weather is okay for now in pretoria but 90 minutes to go and ground is 20 kms away

Birds can predict the weather. Most birds have what’s called the Vitali Organ, a special middle-ear receptor that can sense extremely small changes in atmospheric pressure. With extreme sensitivity comes equally acute pain reception, so the faster the atmospheric pressure falls (indicating an approaching storm), the more birds that fly low (and the lower they fly) to the ground in an attempt to alleviate the discomfort caused by the pressure change in their ears at higher altitudes.

And all kinds of birds usually grow extremely quiet right before it begins to rain.
